Northern Ireland Women Preview – Three defeats in three for the Green and White Army
Northern Ireland made history when they qualified for Euro 2022, with this being the nation’s first major tournament in the women’s game. The Northern Irish ladies have come on leaps and bounds over the last few years.
They may have lost both games in England, but this current crop of Norn Iron players have certainly gained valuable experience from this summer’s tournament. They held their own in both matches, losing 4-1 to Norway and 2-0 to Austria.
Unfortunately for Northern Ireland, we can see Kenny Shiels’ troops suffering a heavy defeat on Friday, but they have been a credit to this tournament and will no doubt come back even stronger.
England Women Preview – Another easy win for the Lioness?
England made a nervous start to their home tournament, edging past Austria in a packed Old Trafford. The Austrians made life difficult at times, and Beth Mead’s 16th-minute goal proved to be the winner.
The Lionesses may have been sluggish in game one, but they were scintillating against Norway on matchday two. Sarina Wiegman’s side wiped the floor with a usually solid Norwegian outfit, with Mead (3), Ellen White (2), Georgia Stanway, Lauren Hemp and Alessia Russo on target in a romping 8-0 win at the Amex Stadium in Brighton & Hove.
