Vera Pauw has described next Thursday’s sold-out World Cup qualifier against Finland as a ‘final’ - and she says her players are ready to handle the pressure of the occasion.
A win at Tallaght Stadium would guarantee a play-off place, while a draw would all but seal second spot, given that the Finns face Sweden in their final game.
Pauw declared: “It’s a final, we really feel it’s a final.”
