The BBC launched their big summer of women's sport, which they're calling 'Change the Game', in impressive style this week.
It will certainly be all change on the football front, given most of Match of the Day's big guns will not be working at the Women's World Cup next month.
The Beeb are broadcasting all 52 games in France, with England's opener against Scotland live on BBC One.

The predominantly female BBC team for the Women's World Cup will be led by Gabby Logan

The research, by a group at the University of Liverpool, valued City at £2.364billion and United at £2.087bn — figures they say were due to 'higher wages and lower profit' on the red side of the city.
