I think she has a Cork granny, the goalscorer I mean.
The final game is huge too for playoff rankings

This is mad.....

• Play-offs: The nine teams will play two knockout rounds of single-leg matches, with the best three runners-up entering in the second round. Among the three second round play-off winners, the two teams with the best combined records in the group stage (8 matches, excluding the ones against sixth-placed teams for those from groups with six teams) and second round play-offs (1 match) will qualify for the World Cup, while the team with the lowest combined record (group stage plus second play-off round) will enter the inter-confederation play-offs.
• The final three spots at the FIFA Women's World Cup will be decided through a ten-team play-off tournament. The tournament will be used as a test event for New Zealand to host prior to the Women's World Cup.
  In the play-off draw, four teams will be seeded into groups based on the FIFA Women's World Rankings, with a maximum of one seeded team per confederation. Teams from the same confederation will not be drawn into the same group. The winner of each group will qualify for the FIFA Women's World Cup.[4]

Ah c'mon Bells_y isn't Greedy, I don't know who came up that nonsense.

I’d say it’s a well known fact around here. Received wisdom I think you’d call it. He made the rookie mistake of posting under an alt and someone was able screenshot it. Not that I’d know anything about that type of brazen carry on.

Ireland need to get a second goal here. Slovakia are threatening.
