First corner for France. Heartbeat going pooompooompooom.

As far as Virgil Van Dijk Wendie Renard is on that pitch, the corners Ehn..

Ohale standing tall in defence. So far, we are compact defensively, but it only takes a mistake. Corner France.
Unmarked player shoots just wide. We're living dangerously.

Now we pushing up our defence line a bit. We still look dangerous on counter.

Leave story, Ordega is a baller. By far the most improved Super Falcons player

Oshoala with a 2 vs 2, but she casually missed the chance to square it. She's too casual for my liking. Star, yes, but pls put more effort.

Most impressive of our attackers.

Free kick Nigeria after Ordega is fouled. Inswinger if we get head.

Straight to keeper. We are looking balanced defensively and attacking.

Possession is 30% Nigeria. We're used to that now under Mr Dennerby aburo Alladyce.

Chikwelu trying to do a Xavi and loses possesion . Our keeper comes out but ball goes for goal kick.

We;re losing concentration and France are less threatening. They are afraid to attack due to Ordega and Okeke's threat to counter at pace. They are happy to rumble.

France win a freekick by selling a foul to Ebere. Ebere gets yellow after crowd pressure ref. ON replay it looked like the player jumped into Ebere. Soft yellow.

Loving this bus parking. .

Oshoala really not impressing me with her casual game. This is not how she plays for Barca.

Disciplined zonal marking from Nigeria. Dennerby can help super eagles with zonal marking training.

Our bus parking really confusing the French players. Do they attack? Do they defend? And we keep threatening at counter. Pattern set for the match. Interesting, but nail biting.

10 minutes to half time. We've contained the French well so far.

Chikwelu my mummy holding things tight in midfield. She likes to attract the French girls. She's probably wearing Victoria Secret deodorants and want them all to smell it.

5 mins to half time. My daughter comes to console me. She's 1 year 2 months. Rita Chikwelu fouled and French player acts like shes the one fouled. Cheating Europeans.

Wife stands up and leaves me to finish watching 1st half. Our coach has killed all tempo in our bid for draw. He's good at what he does.
Columbian ref grows balls and dishes out Yellow card to Gauvin or Guava after she attempted to pluck Onome's right eye. Onome as proper isale eko girl has dodged it.

We're half way there. I cannot remember the last time a Nigerian team was this disciplined. Like Abacha is on the bench with Sgt Rogers waiting for the girls.

Half time at 0-0.

Our girls have learnt how to play the foul game with this oyinbos, Excellent...

Ordega always been our best falcon player, wish dennerby can grow balls and remove oshoala or .

She is ultimate baller. Add Okeke to that sentence. The young girl has acute sense of football.

First half was as good as I could hope for. Another 45 minutes beckons.

#WeCanDoThis

Analysts in the house....can we stay disciplined till last minute? Or the 9ja madness will enter for 1 minute and we ruin things? Any subs? I'll bring Ajibade in 65 mins just in hope she can find one through ball. Otherwise, we've been solid defensively.

oshoala is not fit she keep holding her hamstring

TV struggling to find first half chances for France. When we played France in the friendly, it was 3-0 at half time. Though that day, we had the likes of Esther Sunday and legelege players. These ones seem like they are well fed in Swedish akpu.

Bro, chop knuckle. Okeke is winning most of the battles and blunting their attacks down her wing.

She's a massive upgrade on Faith Ikidi-Michael and Josephine Chukwunonye (who is not in France)

#IStanOkeke

2nd half underway. We should be solid.

A non foul gifts France a free kick. They get a free header in our box...it goes wide.

Bros we are in the same lane. Okeke is the real stuff. She hardly looses the ball or makes silly pass.
