The idea that we are going to contest this WC is laughable based on how we have played so far.  

Not just in this match, the team has not been very good for some time, 1 win in the calendar year doesn't bode well!

Hopefully the second half will complete the comeback and result in three points. Failing to beat the Republic of Ireland would be a major wake up call for Canadian women's soccer because the relative population sizes involved should favour the CWNT and soccer isn't necessarily even the main sport for women in the RoI. A game called camogie has traditionally been promoted by Irish nationalists:

Relative population sizes have little correlation to strength of squads. See China vs Croatia. India vs Iceland.
