  1. Havnt seen us play in a football world cup since I was six,great to be back in one and great achievement for the women’s team!

  9. Amazing. Amber Barrett comes off as a really impressive person. Will be great craic watching Ireland play teams at 7 in the morning again.

  10. And 5? Years ago they had them changing and handing back tracksuits or something. They deserve this after all the shite the FAI gave them. Brilliant.

  11. Great stuff. I heard the last half hour on the radio. Edge of the seat stuff after the goal. A World Cup to look forward to next summer

  15. Love that she’s from Donegal also. Her goal celebration was just perfect. Fully emotional charge with a nation behind her. Great for all the country in such a horrible time

  16. Just 5 short years ago the women on the national team outlined some of the most basic wants and needs a team could ask for, see below. Thankfully the FAI listened and women’s team is now resourced to a basic standard and as result are going to a World Cup. Fair play to all the women on that team, many of whom won’t be going to the World Cup, but this is undoubtedly their victory too. Mon the gals!

  17. Well done to the team! Felt a bit emotional watching the dad hug his playing daughter after the final whistle. There’s hope for my daughter and hopefully the women’s game will continue to grow in popularity and develop

  18. Get down to the Women’s National League and support these girls properly lads! It’s a completely open 4-way title challenge

  21. Roma Mclaughlin, midfielder, is my Daughters College roommate stateside at Central Connecticut University, they play for the Blue Devils! Roma is a wonderfull person and a scoring machine, her Ma and Da are a hoot! She best get back, we have a game Sunday!

  32. Fair play.
    Honestly don’t keep up with the team, or much international football outside of the WC and Euros, I enjoyed the last two Women’s tournaments a lot. Happy to see Ireland there.

  33. Ah lads can’t believe it, I can honestly say now I played with someone who is gonna play in the World Cup finals, though years ago 😁 Huge for women’s sport in Ireland 🇮🇪
