Think that’s all correct! Some of the players didn’t make their World Cup teams, but were regularly called-up so felt it was fair to include them.

Not arsenal related but I’m at Northern Ireland vs Norway right now and NI are loosing 2-0 at half time but I’m so proud of our plucky underdogs! There going for it and there’s a really good turn out for them! Idk just wanted to say I was proud of our girls!

Argh I really wish I could be watching the match right now!! But I’m glad you’re there, and loads of other people have turned up as well, it’s great to see the women’s game growing in loads of different places. Norway is a tough one to beat but if they’re standing up for themselves and feel the support of the crowd around them hopefully it’ll be all up from here!!

Yo i ve found out there s a streaming For the Pinatar Cup game: Iceland vs Northern Ireland on the Iceland YouTube channel. Shall We Go and look for it? 4 eyes is better than two and i m getting lost tryin to find it 😂😂😂😂

It is indeed on YouTube! I found this one yesterday but annoyingly only updated the masterlist with it and not the daily list - doh!

Here it is:

Do you know if they're showing the Northern Ireland games anywhere?

I haven’t seen anything about them being broadcast specifically, although as one of the Home Nations they ought to at least be on BBC Sport online.

However, their match against Norway on 30th August will be streamed on NRK.no (which I think is geoblocked but you can watch with a VPN) and apparently the Wales games will be on the Red Button (and therefore hopefully on BBCSport online as well) and they play Northern Ireland on 3rd September.

now we're having a fucking quiz???? why can't they get the rights to show some of the highlights to the other matches. you know those matches to try and qualify for the tournament that's going to take place in ENGLAND!!!!!

I agree there should be highlights from other games but I think it's good they're promoting the FAWSL.

Besides, they're now previewing the Wales vs Northern Ireland match and interviewing Jess Fishlock so that's good!

Ngl no northern Irish player will get near the GB squad at least this time round, I’m Northern Irish and I’ve claimed a different national team as my own because it’s so poor and gets no support here 🤷‍♀️ tbh I wanted to try and go pro but there just didn’t seem like a pathway to do that here so now I’ve committed to making the state of women’s football here better for the younger gen 😅

Good for you for trying to make it better for the next generation!

Sorry it hasn't worked out for you going pro, I think unfortunately the women's game just isn't very well developed in N. Ireland so good luck in helping it improve!

Out of interest, which other national team have you adopted?

[theroleofimagination]

The Wales v Northern Ireland game is now being shown on BBC Two Wales, accessible in the rest of the UK on satellite channel 971 :)

Oh fantastic! I was hoping they might actually show it on TV.

I’ll add it in now - thank you.
