mama-gee:

Nigeria would have won the match if they weren't so careless.

I read the result on the net, but the pairing is not good for our girls. USA is a strong force in female footie.

Ah! so they couldn't beat the Mexicans? well, sorry for them, end of the road.

na true now

Nigeria’s women team, Falconets sailed into the quarter-final of the FIFA Women Under-20 World Cup after playing a 1-1 draw with Mexico in their last group C game in Bochum, Germany.

Falconets
Ebere Orji put the Nigerian girls ahead in the first half of the game, which the Falconets dominated, but lack of creativity from the midfield denied them more goals.
Mexico’s Natalia Garcia made the Falconets pay in the 79th minute when she controlled the ball and volleyed from close range, Alaba Jonathan in goal for Nigeria had no answer. The result placed Nigeria in the second spot in group C.
Mexico will play South Korea who surrendered their leadership of group D after falling to the USA with a 1-0 loss. Ghana could not make to the next round despite beatiing Switzerland 2-0.
In the other group C game, Japan ran out easy 3_1 winners over England but there was disappointment for them on the final whistle when they learned that it wasn’t enough to carry them into the quarter_finals.
Hosts Germany will face North Korea, and Sweden take on Colombia in the other quarter-final pairings.

^^They are not that strong.

Just watch Nigeria beat them.

They are in Germany as Defending Champions. They are both tactically and technically superior to Nigeria.

These girls from Colombia fine ooo! and them they tap soccer wella.

Goodness you! waoooooooo! what a GOALLLL!!! CRACKING!!! YORELY!!!

Sweden 0 - 1 Colombia

12'.

I'm sorry but these girls from Colombia will give the SE a run for their money. 
TOTAL FOOTBALL.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!

Sweden 0 - 2 Colombia.

When Falconets’chief coach, Ndem Egan steps out with his wards against the USA in the quarter final match of the on-going FIFA U-20 Women World Cup in Augsburg, Germany today, he would be driven by the ambition to be the first Nigerian coach to guide the team beyond the quarter final stage.
