Ireland girls alot better than the men.

That was some win. I think 3 chances and 3 goals.

The ladies have stepped up to the highest level under this coach, that was a brilliant performance.

The men are just awful to watch. Offering nothing against Canada FFS. Jake O'Brien having a miserable few minutes of dumb passes to guys surrounded by opponents and then has a corner hit him and go in. Comical stuff

Great result for the Women last night. This group not depending on McCabe and O'Sullivan as much as it used to. Squad has got depth. Yesterday's result no fluke as we should have gotten something from first 2 games in group v France and Netherlands. Free hit on Tuesday v France. Hopefully we get a result and Poland do us a favour.

The second half was a bit better. But I'm not sure what the point of it was. Why bring all those fringe players to start with his strongest 11? Giving Brennan 3 minutes of injury time seems like a waste of airfare.

Anyone stay up last night to watch the Canada match?

I did, but I am a night owl anyway.

Turgid first half. Worst we have played since Kenny. Kick and not bother chasing stuff. Better in the second, but still not great.

Canada were good, but absolutely no end product. Cut through the Irish midfield only to Hoof into the stands. Will need to seriously relax in front of goal to do anything at the WC.

Umeh had a good game. I assume Coleman got a game to help him find a club. But I would have liked to have seen the bench emptied. 3 LoI players played, admittedly Brennan for 3 mins, but if you bring those players, give them a shot.
