Ireland Women's Coach Vera Pauw Accused of Abuse Ahead of World Cup

Pauw denies allegations of misconduct while coaching Houston Dash in 2018.
An investigation by The Athletic accused Pauw of abuse and weight-shaming players.
Pauw claims the allegations are the result of bias against female coaches and a person trying to "destroy" her career.
The situation has caused tension within the Irish team, though captain Katie McCabe expressed support for Pauw.
The allegations are part of a wider investigation into abuse in women's soccer as Ireland prepares for the World Cup.
