We continue our coverage on extratime.com of the FIFA Women’s World Cup and the Republic of Ireland’s journey. 

The Republic of Ireland's chances of progressing to the knockout stage are over a heartbreaking 2-1 loss to the Canadians in Perth on Wednesday. 

Despite Katie McCabe's fantastic opener and a very positive first half performance, a Megan Connolly own goal just before half time was compounded by Adriana Leon's toe poke winner early in the second half which sealed Ireland's faith in the tournament.

Donal Ryan and Aoife Mullen reflect on Ireland’s performance after the bitterly disappointing defeat on the latest episode of our World Cup podcast specials.
