Battling Ireland Exit World Cup

Pic of Day: Ireland's Katie McCabe absorbing the fact that the Irish women's World Cup dream is over. Ireland lost 2-1 to Canada in their second group game today and despite having one more game to play against Nigeria they can no longer amass enough points to advance to the qualifying stages. Despite her disappointment, McCabe will have a moment to remember as she scored the first goal of the game, played in windy and rainy Perth. She sent a corner kick straight into the Canadian net, a rare feat. Inpho Photo/Ryan Byrne.
