FT: Ireland 1 - 2 Wales
We tried our best to chuck it away, but what a win!
Brilliant, well done ladies. Fantastic for girls and women’s sport in Wales.
Really enjoyed that.
First ever major tournament. Great stuff
Edge of the seat stuff but a great win.
It was like the Alamo at the end. And went to the corner flags too early. But Ireland barely laid a glove for 35 minutes in the 2nd half. Cracking stuff.
If only the football was as entertaining as that down the City.
What a finish. Those long throws were terrifying. Looking forward to watching a tournament in the summer :)
A gripping game. Well done to the ladies.
Interesting how much distance down the line she 'stole'. It was well over 10 yards for most of the last few.Quote:

What did the Irish coach expect from Welsh bench? Cups of tea and plates of bara brith?Quote:

If she did and it wasn't accepted a different story obviously.
Who thought, when it went to VAR in the 91st minute, that they would give the ball over the line ?
I thought they would give the goal
The draw for the finals is on 16th December https://www.uefa.com/womenseuro/news...w-16-december/
Reminds me of the physicality Ireland had in the 2018 mens playoff in Cardiff . They deliberately took out Allen and were an absolutely horrible team to play against. Going to toe to toe with them was a good move last night.Quote:

That observation may have been true 15 years ago.Quote:
