Netherlands 2-1 Republic of Ireland | Ireland Unlucky? The Republic of Ireland Women suffered another narrow defeat as the Netherlands edged a 2-1 win, but there were plenty of positives to take from the performance. In this episode of Girls in the Game, we break down Ireland’s display against the Dutch — from Anna Patten’s standout performance, Emily Murphy’s impressive impact, and the tactical shift to a more attacking system under Carla Ward. Despite the defeat, Ireland showed courage and attacking intent, going toe-to-toe with one of Europe’s strongest teams. A penalty brought Ireland level before a late Dutch winner sealed the result, echoing the heartbreak of the France game. The discussion also looks ahead to the crucial double-header against Poland, where Ireland will hope to turn strong performances into vital points. Women’s football continues to grow rapidly worldwide, with major tournaments such as the FIFA Women’s World Cup demonstrating both the popularity and financial viability of the women’s game, helping drive greater visibility and support for national teams. ⚽ Topics discussed: Ireland’s performance vs Netherlands Tactical changes under Carla Ward Anna Patten’s outstanding display Emily Murphy’s development Set-piece threats and attacking patterns Injury concerns around Denise O’Sullivan Preview of the Poland double-header Are Ireland unlucky… or are they building something bigger?

The Republic of Ireland suffered a heartbreaking 2-1 defeat to France in their World Cup qualifier after a brave performance that deserved more.
Despite taking the lead through Katie McCabe, Ireland produced one of their best performances of the campaign against a star-studded France women's national football team side.
With standout performances from Emily Murphy, Chloe Mustaki, and Megan Connolly, Ireland dominated large spells of the match and looked capable of pulling off a famous result.
But elite quality eventually told. Substitute Melvine Malard sparked the comeback before France snatched a late winner, leaving Republic of Ireland women's national football team with nothing to show for a spirited display.
In this episode of Girls in the Game, we break down:
Ireland’s tactical setup and the surprise 3-5-2 formation
The impact of Emily Murphy’s breakout performance
Defensive heroics from Chloe Mustaki
The key moments that changed the match
Whether Ireland deserved at least a draw

Join us on Irish Football Fan TV's Players Lounge as ex-Ireland international Jeff Hendrick breaks down a massive Premier League weekend! Arsenal sit six points clear at the top after their win over Sunderland, but Manchester City's thrilling 2-1 comeback at Anfield—Szoboszlai's worldie free-kick, Bernardo's equaliser, Haaland's clutch penalty, and late chaos with a disallowed goal and red card—has blown the title race wide open with 13 games left. Jeff gives his expert take on Arteta's 'pragmatic' style (set pieces, solidity over flair), why Gyökeres isn't getting the service he needs, City's resilience under Pep, the resurgence at Manchester United under Michael Carrick, big January transfers (like Semenyo to City), Irish loanees, and stories from his career including a hilarious Dwight McNeil prank at Burnley.
