Shortly after Ruairí Keating put Cork City into the lead, Hans Mpongo's rabona cross found the back of the Wexford net to double the visitors’ lead!

One of my favorite anecdotes from the build-up to this World Cup, which reveals so much about the collision between FIFA and U.S. cities.
The day a FIFA exec told Los Angeles that LA needed to be “put on the map.”

One of the biggest positives of this window has been the return of Jess Ziu, whose pass here led to the red. Only for injuries she'd be well established as the creative heart of this side. A very talented player.
🇫🇷 1-0 🇮🇪

Grenoble bound for France v Ireland. Carla Ward took gambles v the Dutch and they all paid off. Some of that was luck, most of it was just good management. She's built a strong culture. #coygig

Ireland are bottom seeds in the group and head into the final game with a chance to top it - ahead of France and the Dutch. They're punching above their weight to an incredible level. Report from Cork 👇

Sonia O'Sullivan dropped into the squad's Fota Island Resort base for a pep talk. Her presence might have reminded Ireland that qualification campaigns are marathons, not sprints. ✍️ @AP_Pyne

If Andoni Iraola does take the Liverpool job, 3 of the Premier League’s established “Big 6” will be managed by men, in Iraola, Mikel Arteta and Xabi Alonso who played together for Antiguoko, an amateur youth team in San Sebastián.
Talk about a pathway. 🤯

Unfortunately for Derry, Gbemi Arubi put Dundalk back in front less than two minutes later.

Carla Ward also staunchly defended the inclusion of Ruesha Littlejohn in her latest squad, making comparisons to Seamus Coleman.
"The likes of Ruesha & Seamus look after themselves. They drive dressing-rooms, they lead in a way and they raise standards."
'If Katie was English she'd be in Ballon d'Or conversations' - Carla Ward
Ward has previously labelled McCabe the best left-back in the world. Now she's doubled down on that assertion, questioning why her captain does not get more acclaim.

An opportunity now for Katie McCabe to get a move and a deal befitting of her quality. Still elite.

After a decade of representing the badge with honour, Katie McCabe will leave the club this summer.
Our number 11 has won every title with Arsenal and leaves behind a legacy to be truly proud of.
Thank you for everything, Katie ❤️
