But unfortunately, that does mean the top talent in Ireland are now getting attracted to Scotland.
And then the top talent in Scotland is almost getting attracted to England.
So it's a vicious cycle.
And I don't have the answers of how to fix that.
But again, I think this is where if the FAI invests in developing players up until the, you know, in academy setups, which they have now created for,
up until the under 17s, 19s, and then unfortunately might have to lose some of their top talent.
But at least at that stage, they have done a serious amount of investment in developing these players that if they do go abroad, that they're still able to get back to their country based on, you know, how they've been brought up because it's quite evident seeing the girls coming down from England who are in academy setups, like just the difference between
they have compared to some of the young girls coming over from Ireland.
Because we have so much talent, you know, in every corner of the island.
And I just think, you know, it's just sad almost in a way that things haven't, you know, changed dramatically.
And Scotland are running away with things like we're the ones who beat Scotland to go to the World Cup.
Why does Scotland now have a 23s team?
You know, just things don't add up.
And I think the more we keep asking those questions, hopefully things will start changing.
Yeah, and that's it.
We talk about maybe some of their players that they're missing through injury, but the strength of their squad and this is the difference sometimes against these top teams too.
You've fought for so long and then suddenly they're throwing on world-class players in the 70th minute.
Look how we conceded both goals, really.
I think the girls will be quite frustrated, but this is a player who's just come on the pitch and, you know,
has the composure to take on two, three players with a nice one-two and then place it in the bottom corner.
