Evestar200: have been commenting on the CW thread and beside everything is fine

CFCfan:
Nah, a player can compete in as many tournaments as long as he/she is within the age-group. And Oparanozie turns 21 in December, making her ineligible

Havilah93: Wish the falconets success against Mexico.


Courtney Dike seems to be the star of this team. Is she the captain?

Peter Dedevbo's ladies announced their readiness for the 2014 Fifa U20 Women's World Cup by beating a male age-grade team in their second warm-up in Moncton
Nigeria Women U-20 team defeated Codiac AAA U-18 boys 4-2 in a warm up game played in Moncton on Saturday.

The game played to fine tune the Falconets' strategy for the 2014 Fifa U20 Women's World Cup saw the duo of Oshoala Asisat and Dike Courtney get a brace in the six-goal thriller.

The Nigeria ladies though started early by conceding a 2nd minute goal but cut short their hosts celebration after they grabbed the equaliser a minute later. Both teams failed to race to the lead as they settled for a 1-1 draw at half time.

With three minutes into the second half, Asisat Oshoala powered home Courtney Dike's soft cross with a fine header to put the Falconets in front for the first time in the game for 2-1. Few minutes later, the Moncton U-18 lads fought back almost immediately by grabbing the equalizer from a well placed-free kick.

However, US-based striker Courtney Dike who came in as a substitute justified her World Cup inclusion by grabbing the third and fourth goal of the game for the Nigerian girls.

Speaking after the game, Falconets head coach Peter Dedevbo admitted an improved overall performance in comparison with their earlier encounter with the team's U-16 Boys.

"The girls put on a fearless approach in this match. This shows that they have their eyes on the World Cup, which is why their performance has improved," he said.

"They are putting lessons being learned at the trainings to use."
