Ireland manager Vera Pauw accuses The Athletic of ‘agenda’ against her on eve of World Cup

“I did not want to answer questions because it was the same allegations instead of going into double standards,” said Pauw. “I did not want to answer but they said it was going to write it anyway, whether you answer or not. I have a whole list of proof, of support from Houston Dash players saying what happened, but it was not used.

“Obviously that sparked the conversation between the two of us and I asked if she would be interested in doing an interview about this, and she was keen. Ireland captain Katie McCabe was openly annoyed about the Pauw allegations dominating the press conference before Ireland face France at Tallaght Stadium on Thursday night .

“The timing of the article is what it is. We have a game tomorrow so our sole focus has to be on that. This is a massive time for women’s football in Ireland and it is frustrating that we cannot be here talking about our massive send off game.”“I can’t answer for each and every player. Of course Vera has a style of management that we’re used to now over the last two years. It’s something we’ve worked together, we’ve argued with each other of course.
