On Wednesday's Football Daily, Phil Egan brings you all the fallout from last night's heartbreaking Euro playoff defeat for the Republic of Ireland WNT. We speak to Kyra Carusa and Megan Connolly, plus Hibs and Ireland midfielder Ciara Grant on the need for stronger grassroots to help build the women's game. Plus, Wales manager Rhian Wilkinson on whether her bench provoked their hosts. Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner and his Ipswich counterpart Kieran McKenna on their respective captains' issues with the Rainbow Laces armband. Pep Guardiola is unsure if his Manchester City empire is falling. And there's plenty of transfer news to round up here at home.

Lisa Carlin, Christine Cupo, and Sandra Herrera unpack a "scrappy" USWNT performance following the Emma Hayes-led side's comeback win over the Netherlands. Lynn Williams got the winner after Veerle Buurman opened the scoring before restoring parity with an unfortunate own goal. And Alyssa Naeher was kept busy in her final international appearance, making six saves in a lop-sided contest that raised more questions than answers for the Red, White and Blue. The A3 crew discuss Hayes' personnel changes, the USWNT's struggles across the field, and what comes next for the reigning Olympic champions.
