the European championship, but we return with a bang this weekend and

:00:45.:00:55.
:00:55.:00:55.

have all the action here. Coming up, after their early exit,

:00:55.:01:00.

we ask what next for Hope Powell and England? Could Liverpool's Natasha

:01:00.:01:06.

Dowie provide the answer? We are on Merseyside with the top scorer.

:01:06.:01:12.

Life after London 2012, the new BBC initiative aiming to inspire. And

:01:12.:01:16.

that is the best of the action from some intriguing contests in the

:01:16.:01:25.

Women's Super League. And with 183 caps between them, Faye

:01:25.:01:30.

White and Sue Smith are just about qualified to comment throughout a

:01:30.:01:36.

busy show. Just about! 182 and you would have no chance.

:01:36.:01:41.

A novel summer for England's women with just one point, -- a terrible

:01:41.:01:49.

summer. The World Cup qualifiers for Canada 2015 just around the corner,

:01:49.:01:53.

with the game against Belarus, so how can England regrouped to face

:01:53.:02:03.
:02:03.:02:15.

The humiliating exit from Sweden was hard to take for the England

:02:15.:02:19.

players, after all ranked fourth and had been runners-up in the previous

:02:19.:02:25.

Euro championship. Once the England call returns from leave, and if the

:02:25.:02:30.

review will look at all aspects of the defeat to Spain and France and

:02:30.:02:33.

the draw against Russia, we're Trevor Brooking did not hold back.

:02:33.:02:41.

The performance was really poor. Flat, decision-making poor, and the

:02:41.:02:45.

enthusiasm is not there. And the Liverpool manager still cannot

:02:45.:02:53.

believe his top scorer Natasha Dowie was left at home. Natasha has been

:02:53.:02:57.

in great form, the top national goal-scorer and should have gone.

:02:57.:03:04.

Ten goals in 12 games. That would've been a good option. Some injuries to

:03:04.:03:12.

key players before the tournament took their toll. But Germany also

:03:13.:03:17.

had similar problems. However, the Euro champions did not risk their

:03:17.:03:23.

injured players and trust the young ones. Beard agrees with this.

:03:23.:03:28.

would be difficult to take too many players. Surprising there was not

:03:28.:03:33.

more rotation, especially with the Russia game, and save more senior

:03:33.:03:38.

games for the game against France. We have some good kids coming

:03:38.:03:42.

through and maybe is the time for them to get some game time in the

:03:42.:03:47.

senior team and see how they have progressed and developed. You only

:03:47.:03:54.

need to look at Germany, who won it, with some good players and the Gorge

:03:54.:03:58.

trusted them. No one could have replaced Kelly Smith, one of the

:03:58.:04:06.

world's greats. She took them to the semifinals four years ago. But an

:04:06.:04:11.

injury blunted her performance when called upon in Sweden. We need to

:04:11.:04:16.

find out why they got injured. The fixture congestion does not help. We

:04:16.:04:20.

were fortunate to have the players every day and we can manage the

:04:20.:04:24.

players with regards to health and well-being, but maybe other clubs

:04:24.:04:29.

have a lot to get in within their stations. It is the aim to help

:04:29.:04:34.

other clubs follow Liverpool's lead and bridge the technical and fitness

:04:34.:04:39.

gap with the likes of Germany and Scandinavian countries, where many

:04:39.:04:47.

players train full-time. Sometimes, with sports men and women, a

:04:47.:04:52.

different voice is needed, new ideas, fresh impetus. Not to detract

:04:52.:04:58.

from Hope Powell, who is someone to be proud of. Maybe she could

:04:58.:05:04.

continue in a development role. But just a new voice, someone to get the

:05:04.:05:08.

best out of the players. Someone that could be listened to more.

:05:08.:05:12.

It was clearly a nightmare tournament for England. For the

:05:12.:05:15.

benefit of people not following closely, what do you think what went

:05:15.:05:23.

wrong? We never got off the mark in Spain, struggling in that game. We

:05:23.:05:27.

liked real quality. Maybe gave them too much respect. With Russia,

:05:28.:05:32.

starting well, they're not scoring and allowing them into it, then

:05:32.:05:36.

always chasing the game. As the tournament went on, with the France

:05:36.:05:44.

game, changes to four nation, but not to personnel. -- changes to

:05:44.:05:48.

formation. And maybe the younger players getting a chance to play,

:05:48.:05:52.

wanting to prove our point, sometimes going out there and

:05:52.:05:55.

expressing themselves without any baggage of the player they are

:05:55.:06:00.

playing against. The disappointment was lack of quality and the fact

:06:00.:06:03.

that the team just did not seem to gel and some experienced players

:06:03.:06:08.

that did not perform on the stage like I know they can and we have

:06:08.:06:13.

watched them before. The worrying thing it was not just one game, but

:06:13.:06:23.
:06:23.:06:32.

over three games. We were not in the races at all. The first fixture is

:06:32.:06:37.

live on the BBC. That's live from live on the BBC. That's live from

:06:37.:06:43.

That's not long away. What needs to happen between now and then? It's

:06:43.:06:47.

difficult. They have to forget the euros. They have to put that to bed.

:06:47.:06:52.

They need to work on what they need to do for. This you know, bring the

:06:52.:06:55.

youth through. Trust them. Because we've seen the likes of Toni Duggan

:06:55.:06:59.

and others, they can come on and make an impact. Trust those players.

:06:59.:07:03.

Germany did it. Other teams have done. It there's no reason why we

:07:03.:07:06.

can't. Do you expect to be in charge for that match? We know that Hope

:07:06.:07:10.

Powell has been away. There's going to be an FA review. Do you think

:07:10.:07:15.

she'll still be in charge? . personally think she will be. I

:07:15.:07:18.

don't think they'll make a rash decision now. If they haven't done

:07:18.:07:22.

it already, the FA, if there's going to be a review, which I know that

:07:22.:07:26.

Hope has always done it herself about every tournament any way, but

:07:26.:07:32.

I see her being in charge. I think just changing it straight away, just

:07:32.:07:35.

because media pressure maybe have asked for it. Rightly so, when a

:07:35.:07:39.

team doesn't perform well it comes down on the coach's shoulders. Hope

:07:39.:07:43.

will put her hands up and she has to deal with that as well. I can't see

:07:43.:07:46.

it changing now, although I do believe that she's said that she

:07:46.:07:52.

wants to have a role in this elite performance director role, which I

:07:52.:07:56.

think she always thought that would be the natural progression for her,

:07:56.:08:00.

which doesn't seem to be the case at the moment. We are all waiting. I do

:08:00.:08:03.

believe that she will be in charge and maybe within the new year, if

:08:03.:08:09.

they didn't think that she was right and they need a new voice, then they

:08:09.:08:14.

might make a change then. In terms of personnel, there's talk of the

:08:14.:08:18.

next generation of players. Could players such as Toni Duggan be

:08:18.:08:22.

brought into the starting 11? of course. Why not. Toni Duggan is a

:08:22.:08:27.

player that can bring that impact that the youth, she has no fear.

:08:27.:08:31.

There's other players, so many players that we've seen in the WSL

:08:31.:08:37.

and they constantly make an impact. There's Jenna Bonner and there are a

:08:37.:08:41.

lot of players that we've seen come through, why not let them start.

:08:41.:08:44.

Natasha Dowie missed out on a place in Sweden. The striker was in form

:08:44.:08:53.

and the WSL's top scorer is hoping to pick up where she left off.

:08:53.:09:00.

If you're a fan in Liverpool your aleaningence is either to red or to

:09:00.:09:05.

blue. It's an almost sacred divide separated by just a mile but a

:09:05.:09:15.
:09:15.:09:30.

You crossed the great divide from Goodison Park to Anfield, was that

:09:30.:09:34.

difficult? Yeah, it was, I've been at Everton for five seasons and had

:09:34.:09:38.

great years with them. I won the FA Cup and League Cup as well. I needed

:09:38.:09:41.

a fresh start somewhere new. Liverpool's plans are really

:09:41.:09:45.

exciting. The opportunity to be training fulltime as well was a

:09:45.:09:49.

massive plus for me. It was hard, but in a way it was easy as well. I

:09:49.:09:55.

feel like I made the right decision. The set up here at Liverpool, how

:09:55.:09:59.

beneficial has that been for your game? Massively. Fitness-wise it's

:09:59.:10:02.

helped me a lot. That's always been my down fall in the past. But

:10:02.:10:08.

training every day, my fitness has real really improved. And scoring

:10:08.:10:13.

ten in 12 games has shown that it really helps. Quite a record. That's

:10:13.:10:18.

why everyone was so surprise whenned you weren't picked to play for

:10:18.:10:22.

England. Were you surprised, shocked, disappointed? Yeah, I was

:10:22.:10:26.

really disappointed. I felt I had a good first half of the season. My

:10:26.:10:30.

performance justified a place. Hope is the manager. I can't pick the

:10:30.:10:34.

team. I just have to get my head down and work harder than what I

:10:34.:10:38.

have been already. Hopefully, I'll get my chance sooner rather than

:10:38.:10:43.

later. There's an international in your family as well, uncle Ian, how

:10:43.:10:48.

influential halls he been? My uncle, when he can, gets to some of my

:10:48.:10:52.

games. He's always ringing me, seeing how I'm doing. He was centre

:10:52.:10:55.

forward. My dad was a centre half. When I need advice, he's always

:10:55.:10:59.

there on the end of the phone if I need him. Let's talk about the

:10:59.:11:02.

league. You've had your break now. You're back into it against Arsenal.

:11:03.:11:08.

That's a big game. A nice easy start (! ) It is a massive game for us. We

:11:08.:11:11.

are not underestimated that. We have the players in the team to handle

:11:11.:11:15.

that pressure. Hopefully we can have a good performance like we did at

:11:15.:11:19.

the Emirates against Arsenal. Another game against Arsenal for

:11:19.:11:23.

you, which probably brought what I imagine to be one of your best

:11:23.:11:28.

memories of this season so far, in the FA Cup. You scored a goal there

:11:28.:11:32.

in that goal in front of us. What was that like? It was a

:11:32.:11:36.

disappointing result to lose 2-1. It was lovely to score and with my head

:11:36.:11:40.

as well. Iuals pleased with the finish -- I was pleased with the

:11:41.:11:49.

finish. To in front of the cop was amazing. This be Liverpool's year to

:11:49.:11:52.

end the dominance of Arsenal for so long? They've won the league for

:11:52.:11:56.

five, six, seven years. They know what it takes to be champions. It's

:11:56.:12:00.

not going to be given to us. We have to work hard. We've worked hard for

:12:00.:12:04.

the first part of the season. Now we have to work for the second part of

:12:04.:12:07.

the season. Dowie and her team-mates went into

:12:07.:12:10.

the game against Arsenal in confident fashion, sitting top of

:12:10.:12:13.

the league and having beaten the visitors 4-0 earlier in the

:12:13.:12:16.

visitors 4-0 earlier in the campaign. Arsenal had been playing

:12:17.:12:20.

catch up, following an interrupted start to their title defence. They

:12:20.:12:26.

might have easily continued the momentum through Danielle Carter who

:12:26.:12:32.

failed to convert Ellen White's cross.

:12:32.:12:35.

That miss was soon forgotten. The Gunners took the lead on ten

:12:35.:12:40.

minutes. Jordan Nobbs with the finish. After

:12:40.:12:46.

warming the bench at the euros this was a big moment for the youngster.

:12:46.:12:56.
:12:56.:12:59.

Arsenal doubled their advantage with Alex Scott got the tap-in.

:12:59.:13:05.

After the restart Liverpool were given the chance to halve the

:13:05.:13:15.
:13:15.:13:16.

deficit. Dowie was brought down. But the keeper guessed right and the

:13:16.:13:19.

lead remained in tact. The scoreline was given a touch of

:13:19.:13:25.

gloss on 75 minutes. The hard work coming from Danielle Carter. The

:13:26.:13:29.

finish from Nobbs was emphatic. Two for her and three for Arsenal. With

:13:29.:13:34.

six wins from seven now in all competitions, the champions are on a

:13:34.:13:42.

We've had a break for the euros and we knew that we wanted to get off to

:13:42.:13:47.

a good start. We knew it would be a tough game. Just really glad that

:13:47.:13:53.

we've got the three points. Played well. As a team, we were very

:13:53.:13:56.

reactive.ive think they moved the ball very well. Once we conceded the

:13:56.:14:02.

first goal, we didn't skip to our -- stip to our game plan. If you don't

:14:02.:14:07.

stick to the game plan, then it goes against you. Your Arsenal side

:14:07.:14:11.

looked really up for that match, is that because of the 4-0 at the

:14:11.:14:15.

Emirates? Of course. After that game, a lot of people were writing

:14:15.:14:18.

Arsenal off thinking they haven't performed well. Even Lincoln the

:14:18.:14:23.

following game they strug lingd to score. The played well -- struggled

:14:23.:14:27.

to score. They played well. It was no revenge mission, it's just

:14:27.:14:30.

another game, we need to get our season going strongly now, this

:14:30.:14:34.

second half of the season. We have young players coming, a couple of

:14:34.:14:42.

new players and also, Kate whying Chapman coming back. -- Katy chapman

:14:42.:14:45.

coming back. Plenty more to come from the opening weekend of WSL

:14:46.:14:50.

action. Now to focus on inspiring sisters. Last summer we saw female

:14:50.:14:53.

boxers and footballers participate for the first time at an Olympic

:14:53.:14:57.

Games for Great Britain. A year on, the BBC's new Get Inspired

:14:57.:15:01.

initiative aims to preserve the legacy by inspiring people to try a

:15:01.:15:05.

new sport and to coincide with the launch we decided to pair Nikita

:15:05.:15:13.

Parris with sister and Olympic box boxer Natasha Jonas.

:15:13.:15:17.

Last summer Britain hosted an incredible Olympic and Paralympic

:15:17.:15:22.

Games which show cased sports unique ability to unite and inspire. The

:15:22.:15:26.

came was -- aim was to create a legacy and two sisters from

:15:26.:15:28.

Liverpool are showing what could be achieved.

:15:28.:15:34.

In the boxing corner, Natasha Jonas. At London 2012, she became the first

:15:34.:15:37.

British woman boxer to fight at an Olympics and reached the last eight

:15:38.:15:39.

Olympics and reached the last eight of the lightweight competition.

:15:39.:15:42.

We're very tight. She's a role model for me going to the Olympics. I'm

:15:42.:15:47.

proud of what she's accomplished. Representing football, Nikita

:15:47.:15:53.

Parris. 19-year-old Nikita Parris has risen through Everton's youth

:15:53.:15:57.

academy. She's per suing her dreams and doing what she loves. It's nice

:15:57.:16:04.

to see not only I can do that, but someone else can do it.

:16:04.:16:08.

You both love your sport. It's clear to see. What inspired you to get

:16:08.:16:15.

involved in sports? We weren't allowed to just sit around the

:16:15.:16:17.

house. We always had to do something. For me, it was finding

:16:17.:16:20.

something that I wanted to do, which was always some kind of sport.

:16:20.:16:25.

kept me off the streets. It's kept me out of trouble, even though

:16:25.:16:27.

sometimes I got in trouble for kicking a ball at the wall. But

:16:27.:16:30.

football's kept me focussed. Led you into boxing? I know originally you

:16:30.:16:35.

quite enjoyed football. Yeah, it was just one of them things. I got a

:16:35.:16:38.

football injury and I couldn't play any more. After a year of probably

:16:38.:16:42.

doing nothing, I thought no, I need to do something. I went and I loved

:16:42.:16:46.

it. It was a different thing from football. The first time I went

:16:46.:16:50.

training, I couldn't walk for like two days afterwards. I thought, I

:16:50.:16:53.

like this. Yeah, this is something I can do. Describe how you felt when

:16:53.:16:59.

you saw Tash come out for her boxing fight in the Olympics, the first

:16:59.:17:03.

British woman to ever represent Britain in boxing? It's just, I was

:17:03.:17:08.

so proud. I was crying, like, when she won her first match, I was

:17:08.:17:16.

crying. I was buzzing for her, like. It's a great accomplishment. When it

:17:16.:17:22.

got hard in boxing, did you ever think, "I miss football." There have

:17:22.:17:26.

been times I've been to watch her play a couple of times and the

:17:26.:17:29.

standard of football these days, I probably wouldn't make the

:17:29.:17:34.

under-nines. It's moved on. I'm glad to see it's moving in the right

:17:34.:17:38.

direction. BBC Sport has launched Get Inspired and it's all about

:17:38.:17:43.

encouraging people to try new sports. Whenever you are in the UK

:17:43.:17:46.

the Get Inspired initiative will show you how to get involved in new

:17:46.:17:50.

activities in your area. Just like these sisters in Liverpool, you two

:17:50.:17:56.

can be inspired by sport. This is where you learned your

:17:56.:18:00.

thing? Yeah, this is where I learned to strike a ball. Good that you've

:18:00.:18:05.

got children coming, trying out sport, getting inspired essentially.

:18:05.:18:08.

It's brilliant and you just need to have a go, try it. What's the worst

:18:08.:18:14.

that can happen? You don't like it, go on to other sport. There's a

:18:14.:18:18.

sport for everyone. You have to find the one for you. You tried boxing

:18:18.:18:24.

today. We'll say "try". I've never tried before. It was my first time

:18:24.:18:34.
:18:34.:18:34.

on the pads. My shoulder is killing, Very impressive sisters. If that's

:18:34.:18:39.

inspired you to follow in their foot steps, then tweet us your own

:18:39.:18:41.

steps, then tweet us your own steps, then tweet us your own

:18:41.:18:51.
:18:51.:18:53.

stories: She's in the a bad footballer! Not bad at all. For me a

:18:53.:18:58.

future England star. You speak to the Everton manager and he rates her

:18:58.:19:02.

really highly. Her work rate is fantastic. Her technique is very

:19:02.:19:06.

good. You can see the goals here. It's that enthusiasm and it's that

:19:06.:19:10.

effort that she puts in. In front of goal she's technical, she can finish

:19:10.:19:17.

chances like that. Unfortunately, this is against us, a top corner. We

:19:17.:19:21.

just have our hands on our heads. Fantastic player and definitely one

:19:21.:19:24.

for the future. She's got the right attitude. That's half of what you

:19:24.:19:30.

need. You have the ability on the pitch but you need that attitude.

:19:30.:19:34.

Possibly an England star of the future, if she carries on at this

:19:34.:19:37.

level, do you think it will be a long time before she makes the side?

:19:37.:19:42.

I don't know. She just has to keep doing what she's doing. There's no

:19:42.:19:46.

reason why she can't. Is certainly a player for the future. For now,

:19:46.:19:52.

let's see how her team got on as they kick off our round up of the

:19:52.:19:56.

weekend's action. Bristol Academy travelled to Merseyside knowing a

:19:56.:20:01.

draw would be enough to overtake Liverpool at the top of the table.

:20:01.:20:06.

Mark Samson's side don't do draws. They've had none this season in any

:20:06.:20:09.

competition. They were off to a flyer here thanks

:20:09.:20:14.

to an own goal. Everton's response was instant and brilliant. Vicky

:20:14.:20:17.

Jones providing the perfect cross for her twin sister Kelly to smash

:20:17.:20:23.

home. 1-1 after 15 minutes Andujar exciting game.

:20:23.:20:33.
:20:33.:20:37.

Everton then -- minutes and already It was then 2-1. When Toni Duggan

:20:37.:20:45.

saw her shot strike the arm in the penalty area, the referee pointed to

:20:45.:20:51.

the spot. Duggan took the penalty. She found the net again here to add

:20:51.:20:54.

to her hat-trick the last time out. The deciding goal came in the second

:20:54.:21:00.

half. It was another moment to forget at the back for Everton. Of

:21:00.:21:08.

A third league win in a row for Bristol, who finish the weekend

:21:08.:21:12.

three points clear of the rest. Lincoln versus Birmingham was a

:21:12.:21:16.

meeting of clubs desperately searching for improvement and

:21:16.:21:22.

Lincoln nearly got off to the perfect start. Gabe Stone with the

:21:22.:21:28.

Richard Agar -- Yuki Agemi found the stay at the top of the table?

There's no reason why they can't see it through. They've had the double

over Everton now. They've had good wins in the first part of the season

:23:51.:23:56.

against Chelsea and Birmingham. But they do have quite hard fixture list

:23:56.:24:00.

coming up. They have to go to Liverpool on Saturday. Then they

:24:00.:24:06.

have three away games - Lincoln, Chelsea and Birmingham. And they've

got to play Arsenal. They're well organised. They have signed another

Spanish midfielder, so that's a good thing for them. They've added

strength. That's a good addition for them. They're well organised.

They're defensively strong as well. Sue, your team had the pleasure, is

side. How good was Yuki? He was a different class. At times we felt

:24:43.:24:48.

like we were chasing shadows. We said they're so hard to mark just

:24:48.:24:53.

because the four up top for Chelsea were really difficult. The Tracey

like there. It's the pass at the end, the quality pass. That's what

:25:09.:25:18.

she does really well. She was so difficult to play against. I'm just

:25:18.:25:21.

glad that we don't have to play Chelsea again, to be honest! I bet

:25:21.:25:23.

you are. It looked tough. We are going to prolong your agony for a

:25:23.:25:28.

bit longer. I will probably quite enjoy that. We waited Eniola Aluko

:25:38.:25:38.

and Carly Telford to get in place as our BBC Sport tweeters asked them

:25:38.:25:47.

Good win today? Yeah buddy. Clean sheet for me and you got a couple of

:25:47.:25:54.

goals. We're here Q & A, here for some questions. Dye do you enjoy

harder for you guys to do your jobs. If you could play in another

position, where would it be? I play right back because it's now...

:26:12.:26:20.

wouldn't have her as a right back. How do you remain calm and composed

:26:20.:26:23.

in front of goal? It's something that I've had to work on. I know

:26:23.:26:26.

going into games I'm always going to get opportunities, but it's about

:26:26.:26:29.

making sure you take them and fortunately, I'm pleased that it's

come into my game as lot more and I'm able to slot it home and make it

:26:34.:26:38.

look easy. Which other WSL team would you play for other than

:26:38.:26:44.

Chelsea? Oh, wow!That is a difficult one. When I was younger I

:26:45.:26:49.

got asked to go to Arsenal. I would love to have the experience of

It's important that we give ourselves the chance to finish

:27:23.:27:29.

Well done BBC Sport. Yeah.Thanks. See you next time.

Saturday, they go head to head, the top two, in Bristol against

:28:03.:28:07.

going to be tough. Birmingham are coming in off a great result against

:28:07.:28:11.

Lincoln. We didn't perform and we know we didn't. We know we have to

play better on Sunday to get that result. Good luck with that. Thank
