This shouldn’t even be a story. Katie made a suggestion which she has the right to do as a player/captain. Vera chose to ignore it which she has the right to do as manager. Why Vera felt the need to tell the media I’m not sure. She should’ve kept it in the locker room 🤷♀️

I felt Ruesha Littlejohn was technically superb. Completely solid. The last game against Nigeria was almost flawless for her. She's such a dependable bedrock in the midfield. It broke my heart that she seems to have the ability to anticipate Katie's location on the pitch at any time and pass to her without even looking. ❤

Isn't that the role of the captain to be the bridge between players and coach 🤔 I do t think she's gotten to big for her britches I think she's so passionate and invested in her team that she asked for fresh legs the players they had sat on the bench could have made a massive difference to the outcome. But vera was so un professional she should never have said any names just that she asked for fresh legs just my opinion

With the whole katie vs manager thing, I think that Katie was just making a suggestion and the manager didn’t have to make a big deal about it. It’s not like she (Katie) was constantly asking and pressuring the manager. Besides what if the player wanted to be taken of, what if she was tired? I honestly think that the manager should rest her “best player” because she would regret it if the player got injured.

Katie and ruesha also seemed in good form at the homecoming interacting a bit and have hit the town two nights in a small group

Here in Ireland, there was absolute media silence on the issues with Littlejohn / McCabe / Foord. And as soon as the third match ended, they were reporting that it is more than likely that Pauw will not have her contract renewed. I think the FAI are maybe a bit concerned with what came out in the US, and maybe what might come out in the future. I think that Pauw herself has said that she wants to continue to lead the team.

Katie is not the coach in charge, so the final decision on a substitution is not up to her. As a team captain, Katie can make suggestions, but the final decision is by Vera Pauw. If Katie isn't happy about a possible contract extention by Pauw, she could stop playing for the national team. Wouldn't it be funny if Arsenal signed Ruesha so that Katie, Caitlin and Ruesha would play for the same club - what a drama! Btw. Beth Mead didn't win the Worldcup 😉 What an exciting Worldcup it is! Canada, Italy, Brazil and now Germany are eliminated and instead 3 African teams (Nigeria, South Africa and Morocco in their first appearance) and Jamaica are in the round of 16! Who would have predicted this? So excited for the start of the knock out matches!

I'm Dutch and know what Vera Pauw can be like. She has coached a lot of Dutch teams over the years, they've never really said anything about her being a bad coach, but she isn't the best either. Katie is a good player who should trust her coach. If she got something to say do it afterwards to the coach themself and not on the field. She's gotten big and she acts like she can do anything now. Which isn't true, she isn't everything and she's still a player not a coach. I love Katie as an Arsenal fan but she gotten a bit too full of herself I feel like. Also she can't complain that much because, Vera Pauw is the first coach that got Ireland that far anyway. I respect Viv a lot because, she isn't like katie and leaves it for afterwards and complains just to the coach and doesn't do it on the field. Also that Katie calls out a teammate like that isn't very captain like to be honest. Have respect and be there for your teammates.
