Honestly you would think Jack Byrne has 50+ caps, plays in the Premier League and is a senior player in the dressing room.
He is 24, has 2 caps and plays in the League of Ireland. Let's be a bit realistic about this.
He will get his chance but not after going down to 10 men.

Why does nobody mention the fact we have 7 Championship players starting a game against the World Cup Runners Up??

It’s amazing how some top English soccer club hasn’t given David Clifford a trial considering he has more talent in his small toe than some of these 50m players. If they can make soccer players out of Niall Quinn and Kevin Moran, well then Clifford can’t be an impossibility.

Some outlandish replies to this but 100% RTE have made the right decision.
Whether you watch the WNT or not, for this game (or any game played by the team) to be put second fiddle to a CL match is absurd but this game is so special for many reasons, it had to be on RTE 2… 🧵
On Tuesday you can watch Republic of Ireland v England in Euro 2025 qualifying from 7pm on RTÉ2 and RTÉ Player.

fan posing for a photo with the FAI Cup in 2009.
Fast forward 10 years and this "fan" is a regular in the
@stpatsfc
team and just back from the Toulon tournament with
@FAIreland
