Thanks Carl - sorry I couldn't answer your earlier question.

BBC Radio's coverage of the Women's World Cup Final, having initially been scheduled for 5 Live Sports Extra, was promoted onto 5 Live after all. It was a simulcast of the BBC World Service coverage, with Mulkerrins, Rigby and their producer Joel Hammer having been on-site in Canada for Sportsworld for the duration of the tournament.
Lindsay Johnson, an Everton Ladies defender who played for England at Euro 2009, replaced Rachel Brown-Finnis on co-commentary duty as the latter (like the former on Saturday) was doing BBC TV studio punditry. Sarah and Caroline's guest at half-time (and possibly full-time, although Radio 5 Live left the Sportsworld feed for Up All Night moments after the final whistle) Joanna Lohman is a former USA international. At half-time, Alastair Ross (IRN's North-East based Premier League reporter) was heard doing some continuity, while at full-time 5 Live's Up All Night with Dotun Adebayo crossed to Tom Bateman in Washington, DC and Rupert Wingfield-Hayes in Tokyo.
As for talkSPORT, I don't think they had a dedicated reporter covering the Women's World Cup Final on Extra Time with Bob Ballard, although I'll double check that when the show is uploaded onto Listen Again in the morning.”

Just had a quick check - aside from newsreader Jake Robson updating the score periodically during his sports bulletins, talkSPORT's Extra Time didn't carry reports on the Women's World Cup Final.
With the Women's World Cup and UEFA Under-21 Championship over, unless anyone has any further comments on their coverage, I think we can wrap this thread up now for another season. I've started a new thread for the 2015/16 season which can be found here: http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showthread.php?t=2087918
Radio Scotland (MW) have added Europa League to their line-up this Thursday (Aberdeen) and next Thursday (Inverness) - as well as Champions League next Wednesday (Celtic).
