What did the Irish coach expect from Welsh bench? Cups of tea and plates of bara brith?
If the Irish coach didn't try to shake hands it is pretty petty,on such a big occasion

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.

It’s my observation of every women’s game. I’m not sure why but the development of goalkeepers seems to be years behind outfield players. Maybe recruit a few 6 foot plus netball players.

Ceryn Chamberlain has become very mobile in recent years - and has made some top saves in recent matches.

She jumps and she dives!

Genuine question how many full games do you watch?

I ask as a lot of people see the odd clip of a goal in women's football and use that to make some pretty big statements. Plenty of examples of very good saves out there also.

That observation may have been true 15 years ago.
