Squad announced for the second round, it's not a bad group - Austria, Iceland, Ireland, and Croatia

4-1 win for the girls in green in the group opener against Iceland
https://www.uefa.com/womensunder19/m...nd-vs-iceland/

Austria beat Croatia 8-1 in the other game in the group, so the meeting between the two sides on Saturday should decide the group

Is it top 2 to qualify?

Only the group winners, apparently

Game against Austria kicked off at 11:30
Stream available on the Austrian FA's website, but it's not stable

0-0 just before halftime, but Austria have just had a player sent off. Win this and we're almost certainly through.

Ireland just gone a goal ahead - but missed by the stream.

Finished one nil to Ireland. Joy Ralph with the goal. Excellent result!

Finished 1-0, late red card for Hannah Healy, and, with Iceland beating Croatia 3-1 in the other game in the group, have qualified for the finals in Lithuania

Beat Croatia 3-0 in the final group game to finish with a 100% record

I see our good luck has continued.

This group is far too easy, why not have us with England & France ???

Squad announced for the finals

Would have thought that bringing only two goalkeepers is risky in a minimum three-game tournament when you've named seven forwards but are likely to play only one given the calibre of nations Ireland are playing against. Vera Pauw brought three keepers and a training keeper to Australia.
