Rep of Irl WNT

France beat us 3-0 last year. 

WU19s qualified for the Euros today, beating Austria 1-0. Beat Iceland 4-1 earlier in the week having been 0-1 down at half time.

Great achievement.

Dead rubber vs Croatia on Tuesday.

-----------------------------------------

Game vs France last night went generally how you'd expect. Did well defensively for the most part except for the goal, that's a poor one to give away. Early nerves, and 3 competitive debuts, I suppose.

Lack of composure in possession & sloppy passing was our main undoing. At the end of the 1st half O'Sullivan had a chance to play Carusa in with a through ball, but way over hit it. Another occasion the ball dropped to her (DOS) at the edge of the box but she had a poor touch and the chance to shoot was gone.

Kiernan not squaring to McCabe in the second half another instance.

Need to sort that stuff out for the England game. Farrelly a real miss in that regard.

Thought Mannion struggled in the first half at LWB, not sure she's ever played there. But then I thought she was excellent in the second half at RWB. Much more defensively solid than Payne. A real option there going forward.

What little pressure that was brought to bear was wasted as players panicked when in good positions.

And it's never a good sign when you are 1-0 down and your players are getting booked for time-wasting! Kiernan was about the only bright spark when she came on as she brought a bit of energy to the game.

It'll be a long campaign if the team is going to show such deference to the opposition, doesn't put them under any kind of pressure and refuses to take some risks.

RTE Player with a VPN most likely, either ITV or BBC should be showing it as well 

ITV1 have the UK coverage.
