Vera Pauw has called on the huge Irish community in America to get behind her Girls in Green when Ireland’s World Cup preparations take them Stateside in April.
Two games have been pencilled in against the reigning world champions - on April 8 in Austin, Texas, and on April 11 in St Louis, Missouri.
The USA are currently ranked number one in FIFA’s rankings and Pauw is thrilled to land the hugely challenging matches ahead of Ireland’s first ever World Cup appearance.
