this week waxed lyrical about Wim Kieft. Pauw was playing to the gallery, claiming the goal that broke Irish hearts back at Euro 88 would never have survived a VAR check.
“And he made the best decision not to come himself because he knew me, and I knew him, and we didn’t have to say anything to each other. Sounds like Mooney would welcome her to Cardiff with open arms but whether Dokter’s successor, Marc Canham, a vastly different operator to the Dutchman, will allow Pauw to guide Ireland into qualification for Switzerland 2025 remains to be seen.
There is no question that Pauw’s blunt, exacting methods have yielded incomparable results. No doubt her 47 years in football will be studied and debated. She married her former national coach, Van Lingen, and he became the story at the end of a media briefing this week.“Yeah, remember Euro 88? He was the assistant. He has been to the most World Cups and European Championships probably of any coach in the world.
