Girls in Green

[Stuttgart88]

Sounds like the women's team was very unlucky to lose 3-2 to Germany in Tallaght today, only losing to an injury time winner. Extratime.ie says Emma Byrne was clearly fouled for Germany's second on 84 mins. We equalised on 89 bit conceded again soon after.

Anyone any idea whether there was a good crowd. Several of the men's team were promoting the game via Twitter yesterday.

The U19s beat Austria 1-0 in an elite round qualifier.

[Crosby87]

Here she is waving to you stutts.

Actually was flicking through on the box here and stumbled on it. Wasnt a foul, just unlucky, she stretched for the ball and caught it and the striker kind of stood up and knocked it out of her hands with her head. The winner was meant to be a cross as well, Byrne off her line.Was a pish poor game, but then i dont know if thats standard for womens football, but ireland played like kids in the school yard, all running after and with the ball. But they were unlucky.
Crowd, not good at counting but a few hundred?

[Yard of Pace]

Watching it now.

The left back, Megan Campbell has a phenomenal throw-in on her, even into the wind. With the wind it was like a Delap throw.

Germany beat someone in the group 9-0 so to nearly get a draw is a great performance.

Finally, I'm kinda in love with Julie-Ann Russell on the left wing. :love_heart:

[TheOneWhoKnocks]

Aw aren't they cute.

[Crosby87]

Im bored having to stay at work another hour but that old thread link below "Green Island Girls".....if you have an extra 10 minutes and want a laugh i thoroughly recommend it. POSH I never knew you were such a swinger in your younger years.

[Yard of Pace]

Feck's sake. German's 2nd was a free out and the 3rd was a fluke, a cross that the wind took and looped over Byrne.:(

[IsMiseSean]

The girls were unlucky. It would have been fantastic to get a draw against one of the best sides in the World.
Women's football seems to be on the up in Ireland...
Also good to see the game being shown on Setanta

Yeah its mad, she was expected to nearly take every throw

[Stuttgart88]

U19s drew with Netherlands today. Austria and Turkey drew in the other match. So they are one good result away from winning the group it'd seem.

[Yard of Pace]

Should start going to these games....

Congrats to the under 19 ladies who have made it to the elite phrase of the european championships (last 8) which will be play in Norway in June/July i think - well done to all!

[samhaydenjr]

Hope some of you lads will get out to see the Girls in Green in their vital qualifier against Russia on Wednesday - a win will put them back in second place and, although they still need a good run to make the playoffs, they're still in with a shout of reaching next year's finals here in Canada. I'm sure there's a lot of young immigrants here who would love the opportunity to cheer them on. So tell your friends to pack Tallaght and give them full support.

I suppose the physiology of being female give you a certain advantage on throw ins.

I bet this one could throw it the length of the pitch

1-3 down....almost over

[Stuttgart88]

Great win for the U19s Girls in Green tonight

[paul_oshea]

I think these were the improvements we would see that Delaney was on about...

[Stuttgart88]

Just beat England 2-1, having been one down.

Semi Final.

[paul_oshea]

Are these really good?

maybe we can be a superpower in the women's.

[Stuttgart88]

Actually not technically in semi final yet. Sweden, ourselves and Spain could all end up on 6 points and it'd go to goal difference. Spain beat Sweden 2-0 so I think a single goal defeat to Sweden will still be good enough.

[Stuttgart88]

Are these really good?

maybe we can be a superpower in the women's.one step at a time...

[Stuttgart88]

Goals here. Set piece heaven.

The sheer joy and sense of cameraderie of the girls is lovely to see.

[paul_oshea]

lovely girls. They all have lovely bottoms.

[Paddy Garcia]

1-1 after 65 mins!

[Closed Account]

80 mins: Ireland 2-1 Sweden.
Megan Connolly scores a beauty of a free-kick, in off
the crossbar as Ireland go ahead

[Stuttgart88]

UEFA's live match tracker is gas. It was showing 1-1 after 86 minutes, and announcing action such as a Swedish corner on 85 minutes. Then it retrospectively added Ireland's second goal on 80 minutes!

Anyway, looks like job done.

Are you watching on a stream joe?

[Stuttgart88]

Over. 2-1.

[Acornvilla]

Is this the same batch of ladys who did really well with the u17's a few years ago, or am I a year or so off?

[Stuttgart88]

I dont know but I think you're at least one year off.

Ah, beat me to it...

[Stuttgart88]

Last 4 goals from set pieces.

[BonnieShels]

Defending for the Swedish goal was brutal. Our first was a beaut.

[Stuttgart88]

Raheny United qualify for UEFA champions league last 32 winning 3 games out of 3.

Great stuff.

The womens teams in both football and rugby have had some very impressive results this summer.

[Olé Olé]

Lovely girl, I mean goal, Julie-Ann Russell.

[Stuttgart88]

Is it just me, or do lots of goals in women's football go in just under the crossbar? The insinuation being that girls aren't as tall as men and that keepers are more vulnerable to that kind of shot.

Respect!

Wow, classy. Let me guess... you're single, but it's your choice because women cramp your style?

[harry crumb]

Ok,

Don't find women playing physical sport entertaining.

Sorry If I have articulated what the silent majority think.

[DeLorean]

How did we get on? According to the FAI we haven't had a game since May or something?

[Charlie Darwin]

No need to be sorry, you haven't.
