(Picture: Getty Images)Northern Ireland boss Kenny Shiels has apologised for claiming that female footballers are “more emotional” than their male counterparts following his side’s heavy defeat by England.
The hosts provided a stern challenge for Sarina Wiegman’s usually prolific Lionesses in the first half of a 2023 World Cup qualifier played in front of a record crowd at Windsor Park in Belfast on Tuesday night, only trailing 1-0 at the interval courtesy of Lauren Hemp’s close-range finish.
