Sinead Farrelly and Marissa Sheva look like they will play big parts in Australia.
Sinead Farrelly and Marissa Sheva both made their home debuts in Thursday night’s 3-0 farewell friendly defeat to France, having declared for the Girls In Green earlier this year.
After her whirlwind journey of abuse, whistleblowing, injury and mental health struggles, and a promising start to life as an Ireland international, she’s gearing up for the biggest stage possible.“No,” Farrelly tells The 42. “When it’s over, I’ll be like, ‘Oh that happened’. It is hard not to feel that it is real when you step out for that first game and there is 82,000 people there. It still feels a little bit surreal. It almost feels a bit of a blur.
The biggest crowd she has played for to date is 25,000. “This will be nearly quadruple that! I’ve definitely thought about it, I feel like I have to get my mind used to it. “I trust that once I’m playing I’ll be focused on getting the job done and I’ll block it out. The second I start overthinking, it is just a disaster. I’m just hoping for the best.”Alongside Denise O’Sullivan, Farrelly and Sheva belatedly joined the Irish camp last week due to their NWSL commitments. It’s been an up and down few days, bookended by the France send-off fixture.
