Underdog Republic of Ireland Prepares for Historic Euros Qualifier Against England

The Republic of Ireland women’s national soccer team is preparing for their upcoming qualifier against England at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin. The match, which takes place on Tuesday, April 9th at 19:30 BST, will be broadcasted live on the BBC Sport website.

Manager Eileen Gleeson expressed confidence in her team’s ability to give a tough challenge to England, despite being considered underdogs. Despite losing their first game 1-0 against France and drawing 1-1 with Sweden, the Republic of Ireland remains determined to stay in the game and look for opportunities to turn things around in their favor.

The Republic of Ireland is the lowest ranked side in Group A3 but they remain focused on challenging the defending champions, England. Captain Katie McCabe downplayed any rivalry between the two teams, emphasizing the importance of reaching the finals for the first time. The team is focused on delivering a strong performance on the pitch and making history by qualifying for the Euros.

Gleeson has brought in Glasgow City’s Emily Whelan as a replacement for injured midfielder Jess Ziu. Despite facing tough opposition, the Republic of Ireland team is confident in their ability to adapt and use their strengths to deliver a strong performance on the pitch. The players are excited about playing a competitive game at Aviva Stadium and hope for a positive result against England in front of a large crowd of 30,000 fans.
