Carusa's NWSL experience is exactly what we need right now. Top tier talent.

She is a physical presence that we lack elsewhere in the squad. Still, I would have liked to see a younger prospect called up to gain some experience alongside her.

She is vital for our momentum. Great selection!

Carusa has been a reliable figure for Ireland, which justifies her place. But we need to make sure we aren't stifling the growth of emerging strikers who need minutes.
