‘I quit my job to come here’: Loyal Ireland fans disappointed but praise team’s performance

Looking around a packed pub, full of Irish fans singing the Fields of Athenry before the Canada game, Carter was confident she had made the right decision.

Despite bitter disappointment that Ireland’s journey is over, fans were full of praise for McCabe, who scored the early goal. “It was just electric, the atmosphere in there tonight was brilliant,” she said, despite being near a group of Canadian fans, who were sprinkled around the dominant Irish supporters.

Wearing her tricolour with her Australian-Irish granddaughter by her side, in a crowd of Irish, was something she’ll never forget. Getting a sense of the atmosphere at the fan zone were Abbie Larkin’s parents Ethyl and Robert, and her uncle Martin. They didn’t stay long before heading off to a prematch party at an Irish pub decked out in all of their Abbie merch that her uncle Martin, a long-term Sydney resident, had made himself.Talking about her World Cup debut against Australia, Ethyl said Abbie was “absolutely amazing, just amazing”.
