The Americans reached the knockout stages of the Women's World Cup with a 1-0 win on Tuesday night.
But Okon snubbed Ellis following a fiery clash.

He was angry at the decision to give defender Sarah Nnodim a second yellow card.
Portsmouth-born Ellis said: "I typically always go and shake the coach's hand.
"The bench personnel shook my hand and the coach, I said, 'You're not going to shake my hand?

"He said, 'No.' He kind of put his hand out a little bit, but that's his call, not mine."
USA claimed top spot in the supposed 'group of death' ahead of Australia, Sweden and Nigeria thanks to Abby Wambach's winning goal on Tuesday.

But she has warned they must improve if her side are to lift the World Cup for a third time.
She said: "I'm not making any excuses. I need to finish chances that are handed to me.
"And all of us on my team would agree that if you're given a chance you have to take advantage of it."

LoL NA NAIJA MEntality.

is not d coach's fault. i blamed it on d girl's failure to perform

If I were coach Edwin Okon I would have done worse than that. How do you expect me to have a hand shake of peace with those white dudes? When it was so glaring that every body was against us? Abi na only after de match FIFA or person de know peace? iiiiiiiiissssshhhhh. The referee was simply partial. Look at the way and manner she (Ref) threatened Ngozi Okobi when she tackled a US player lightly. She still went ahead and awarded the yellow card; She was just against Nigeria. I am suprised that uptil now so many ignorant and e-righteous and religious Nigerians in their normal hypocrisis are criticizing Coach Edwin Okon for refusing to have a hand shake with the US Coach, na by force?
How many of us called FIFA to order when our able right back Njoku was given a heavy ban of 3 matches and fine for a wrong/foul that so many players have committed and gone scout free? What about the case of Ogenyi Onazi during the 2014 FIFA world Cup in Brazil? What did FIFA do? I congratulate our coach for telling the referee, FIFA and the entire world that he was not please with the unfair officiating between the Super Falcons and the US WOMEN national team. Let it be on record that a Nigerian had the courage to do that. If Nigerians were this righteous, most of the problems that our economy has faced would have been in existence. Lets call our call all our past governors to release the monies they have stolen so that salaries will be paid and stop venting unnecessary anger on people that don't deserve it.
I refuse to accept racial abuse from the whites in any form it might come.

Qoute me if you think you are righteous and can control your temperament in a situation like this better than Coach Edwin Okon.

Hogwash. Was the US coach the one controlling the ref? Why didn't he boycott the post-match press conference to show his displeasure and send his message to FIFA directly?Abeg, talk something else.
