Group A2 in the Brazil WWC 2027 qualifiers is very tight. There are no easy games, six games where the difference between teams is minimal as seen in Matchday 1
France line-up against Ireland: 4-3-3 system
Picaud; De Almeida, Samoura, Lakrar, Morroni; Jean-Francois, Geyoro, Karchaoui; Diani, Mateo, Baltimore
Ireland v France line-ups
However it is very unlikely to be a preparation for the WAFCON which should be moved to after the 2026 FIFA Men's World Cup. I'm told still up to another two days before CAF will make official from sources.
Pauline Peyraud Magnin is out of tonight's Ireland v France WWC 2027 qualifier according to l'equipe.

France training ahead of the WWC qualifier tomorrow in Dublin. Ireland have reduced the pitch width by four meters to get to the minimum 64 meters.
I am very curious to see the protocol for the GK timeout trial in the WSL.
IFAB had to do something for sure.
Goal kick and throw in countdowns will be fun too.
SOURCES: Ex-Tottenham manager Robert Vilahamn is set to be named the new head coach of the Portland Thorns, who open their new #NWSL season in less than two weeks. The Thorns looked inside the NWSL as well and ultimately went with Vilahamn.

As the AFC squad lists are now known, there is a tier 3 player from the Women National League who will be at the tournament alongside the many players from the WSL.
"All 20 Premier League clubs have avoided breaches of Profitability and Sustainability Rules for last season — though at least two were helped by selling their women’s team to a related company." [Times]
Both Everton and Aston Villa sold their women's teams.
Arsenal and the Premier League have confirmed the Gunners’ match against Everton is now subject to change, despite being officially confirmed over a month ago. 🥲 dailycannon.com/2026/02/prem...
2 quids just bet on Spurs
In term of problem solving and tactical battle LCL v Spurs was a treat last night. Scandinavian themed defensive organisation v possession based football, then reversed roles once LCL went ahead. Fascinating with subs altering the game too.
