The 3️⃣ standout players from Spain's win over Belgium
The team led by Montse Tomé defeated the 'Red Devils' 5-1 with outstanding individual performances. The women's 'La Roja' did not slip up against Belgium: they won with a sensational thrashing at The King Power At Den Dreef Stadium and took a giant step towards the Final Four of the UEFA Women's Nations League. Montse Tomé's team will seek their ticket this Tuesday, June 3, against England in Cornellá. Here are the three protagonists of a key victory... Esther González, synonymous with goals A player who was once left out of the squad, but on her return to the national team has shown she has an innate ability to score. She may not be the most technical or the fastest, but she has a very evident killer instinct. She nearly got a hat-trick with a shot that hit the post. Athenea del Castillo, the 'X' factor She came off the bench but quickly joined the party. She assisted Esther on the second goal and then scored her own brace in less than a minute. A decisive player, she is aiming to earn a spot in the starting eleven ahead of the Euro in Switzerland. Alba Redondo and the finishing touch She didn't stay behind and also scored her goal. She needed just over four minutes on the pitch to take advantage of a mid-height cross from Salma Paralluelo and seal the "manita" for the Spanish team.

This striking documentary, from executive producer Joe Berlinger (Cold Case: Who Killed JonBenét Ramsey, Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes) and directors Yotam Guendelman and Ari Pines (Shadow of Truth, Buried), revisits the terrifying crime that destroyed the country's faith in the safety of commonplace brands.

Turkey v Republic of Ireland - Women's Nations League: All you need to know
UEFA Women's Nations League 2025 Turkey v Republic of Ireland, Esenler Stadyumu, Friday, 6pm TV/PLAYER Watch live build-up and coverage of the match on RTÉ2 and the RTÉ Player from 5.30pm. RADIO Commentary on 2fm's Game On. ONLINE Follow a live blog on and the RTÉ News app. WEATHER It will be sunny in Istanbul with temperatures reaching highs of 24 degrees Celsius on Friday. Sunset will be around 8.30pm so shortly after the end of the match. 🇮🇪 Ireland's away clash in Turkey will be live on @RTE2 @RTEplayer & @GameOn2FM on Friday Rachel Graham outlines how she'd like #COYGIG to line-up for the Women's Nations League match #TURIRL 📺/🎧 Full #RTESoccerPodcast: — RTÉ Sport (@RTEsport) May 28, 2025 A pep in McCabe's step but whether she starts is another question Saturday was a momentous day in the already acclaimed career of Ireland captain Katie McCabe. Eighteen years on from when Girls in Green record cap holder and current assistant coach Emma Byrne, Yvonne Tracy and Ciara Grant tasted European glory with Arsenal, McCabe became the fourth Irish player to win a Champions League medal as she played her part in the Gunners' final win over Barcelona. The celebrations were raucous and McCabe appeared in great form during Arsenal's Monday homecoming as she got on the mic to occasionally serenade the club's supporters and team-mates alike. But such is the life of a professional sportsperson, there's always another challenge on the horizon and the very next day, she had to quickly jet off to Turkey to join her Ireland team-mates ahead of Friday's UEFA Women's Nations League fixture. The 29-year-old arrived at the team hotel in Istanbul to a hero's welcome and a guard of honour. With the Turkey fixture coming so soon after the emotional rollercoaster of playing in a Champions League final and to be quickly followed by what will be a revenge mission against Slovenia next Tuesday, whether McCabe will start on Friday will be interesting to see. Katie McCabe was given a guard of honour by her Republic of Ireland team-mates as she arrived in camp ahead of Friday's clash with Turkey, a game Marissa Sheva thinks the squad will be better prepared for after longer exposure to Carla Ward's methods — RTÉ Sport (@RTEsport) May 28, 2025 She certainly will want to and manager Carla Ward would hope she's ready to go given the evidence of how Ireland performed in the first half of their last away game against Greece without her and how she then impacted the game positively after coming on at half-time despite being hampered by a calf strain. Indeed Ward has indicated that McCabe will be ready to lead Ireland out: "It was about her enjoying those celebrations but she's a professional, she's fit, she's ready. Maybe a question mark on her calf at the moment... but she's said to me straight away, 'I'm ready, I want to play', so of course she's available for selection." New faces and a fond farewell? Ward has called up US-born Adelaide United striker Erin Healy, who has scored eight goals in her debut season in the Ninja A League, and has been compared to the injured Leanne Kiernan by the Ireland boss. "I like to be involved in a lot of the play and I like to be creative" - new Republic of Ireland recruit Erin Healy on what the fans can expect from her #COYGIG — RTÉ Sport (@RTEsport) May 27, 2025 "If you have a look at her, she can score goals and link the play. Importantly, she has got a lot of pace and somebody we have been excited about," Ward said. While Kyra Carusa and Amber Barrett will be ahead in the pecking order up front, the Turkey game could provide an opportunity for Healy to make her debut and get some minutes in the latter stages. Similarly - but for different reasons - Louise Quinn could feature too. Having announced her retirement earlier this month, the veteran centre-back was included in this squad as she bids farewell from the game. But Quinn isn't expecting a final cap or two to be handed out between now and next Tuesday. "The fact that I was able to get the call-up – it's about the team, obviously – but I'm here to play. I'm here to fight for my position, it's not going to be given to me. I absolutely know that. Carla doesn't owe me anything," she stated. "I'm going to be training hard all week to try to get myself in the team and we'll see how it goes." Turkey a tough nut in Tallaght but have they tailed off since? Ireland will know they won't have it easy on Friday even if Turkey are ranked 58th by FIFA compared to 26th for the Girls in Green. Memories will be fresh of the reverse fixture in February - Ward's first as manager - when the Turkish proved a tough nut to crack as Ireland eked out a 1-0 win and endured a couple of tricky moments defensively. Turkey followed that up by edging to a 1-0 home win over Greece who are ranked slightly below them. Then in the double-header against Slovenia in April, they lost 3-0 on the road - a slightly better showing on the scoreboard than Ireland managed in going down 4-0 there - and then narrowly losing 1-0 on home soil in Sivas. The main takeaway is that, the Slovenia away game aside, they do not concede a lot of goals, especially at home so expect a tightly-fought encounter similar to the February encounter in Tallaght.

Wiegman calls Wubben-Moy into England squad as Bright withdraws
England head coach Sarina Wiegman has offered a late call-up to Arsenal defender Lotte Wubben-Moy ahead of the upcoming UEFA Women's Nations League double-header against Portugal and Spain. WSL Full-Time were informed of the news via an official press release from The Football Association this afternoon. Advertisement The defender's late inclusion in the Lionesses squad comes as a result of Chelsea's Millie Bright pulling out of international duty. It has been reported that Bright requires an extended period of recovery and is therefore not in a position to represent England in the latest international window. The centre-back will remain at club where she will receive the full support of the Chelsea medical staff. Wubben-Moy's England call-up comes less than 48 hours after she became a European champion with Arsenal. The Gunners recorded an historic 1-0 victory over Spanish giants FC Barcelona in the 2024/2025 UEFA Women's Champions League final in Lisbon on Saturday evening. England are set to complete their 2025 UEFA Women's Nations League campaign in the current international window. The Lionesses will take on Portugal at Wembley on Friday night before flying out to Barcelona to face Spain on Tuesday 3 June 2025. Wiegman's side are likely to have to win both matches if they are to finish top of the group in League A.
