Katie McCabe revealed she was yellow-carded at the end of Ireland's World Cup defeat by Canada for complaining about time wasting. 

The Ireland captain was frustrated with Canada's efforts in stopping any Ireland momentum as they chased the equaliser that would have kept them in the competition. She was eventually booked after the final whistle by referee Laura Fortunato from Argentina.
