McCabe’s Candid Assessment
The Arsenal star didn’t hold back in her post-match comments, admitting that Ireland “severely under-performed” and expressing frustration over the team’s lackluster display.
“We weren’t at the level we should be. We know we have to regroup, learn from this, and come back stronger.”
Despite the disappointment, McCabe vowed to lead by example, emphasizing the need for focus and improvement in the team’s upcoming fixtures.
Public Apology
Shortly after the interview, McCabe took responsibility for her language slip, apologizing to viewers and fans for the unintended expletive.
“I got caught up in the emotions of the moment. I apologize for any offense caused.”
Looking Ahead
With crucial games ahead, McCabe remains determined to help Ireland bounce back. The squad will work on their defensive frailties and tactical discipline as they aim for a stronger performance in their next outing.
