Oparanozie pegs England back Nigeria deservedly took a point from England in Augsburg as the teams began their campaign in Group C of the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup Germany 2010 by battling to a 1-1 draw. In a physical encounter, England found the sweltering conditions tough going and that enabled the African nation – who are regulars at this event – to finish strongly. The early exchanges saw Jane Moore go close for Mo Marley's side while Nigeria preferred to rely on their strong defence and counter-attack. In the 25th minute Esther Sunday had a great opportunity as the ball came back to her in the area but goalkeeper Rebecca Spencer was equal to it. It signalled a bout of Nigeria pressure with Desire Oparanozie failing to convert and Glory Iroka coming close. But just as Nigeria seemed to be getting on top, England took the lead. Jordan Nobbs was put through for a one-on-one with goalkeeper Alaba Jonathan but defender Osinachi Ohale was able to clear. The danger hadn't passed however with Kerys Harrop's header at the back post exploiting a mistake by the keeper. There were chances for Oparanozie and Ebere Orji at the start of the second half as Nigeria really began to press, two great Oparanozie runs failing to bring the scores level. However the pressure was bound to tell eventually and on the hour came a deserved equalizer for Adat Egan´s team. This time the surge came from Orji and from her centre, Oparanozie shot towards goal. Spencer got a hand to it but couldn't prevent the ball rolling over the line. After that Nigeria looked the more likely winners but England stayed disciplined in defence. Always, though, with a close eye on the dangerous Oparanozie. With a point apiece, both teams will be looking for a maximum haul in their next outing when England take on Mexico while Nigeria face Japan. Both games are on Saturday in Augsburg. http://www.fifa.com/u20womensworldcup/matches/round=253537/match=300125158/summary.html |

^^I personally think they should add Yakubu in the team. At least, we all know he has the skills of a female footballer, I think he would perform well and probably come back with the Golden Ball this time. |

SSaemoenl:Nah! I don't think I would be happy taking someone's position. Yakubu would help. . .he's got the talent. |
| Re: Falconets Depart For U-20 Women’s Wc by SSaemoenl(m): 8:46pm On Jul 14, 2010 |
mama-gee: Noooooo! U partake actively in men's tournament, why rejecting the offer?, I search for your comments after the game, but to alas.  |
| Re: Falconets Depart For U-20 Women’s Wc by mamagee3(f): 9:04pm On Jul 14, 2010 |
^^Yakubu plays like a woman so why shouldn't he get the opportunity to participate in women's match? I think he would do great. |

^^It's quite unfortunate that no one has fought for our independence. We are stuck in that country called Nigeria.  |

| Re: Falconets Depart For U-20 Women’s Wc by mamagee3(f): 11:01pm On Jul 17, 2010 |
^^This is really funny. Ghanian male team are very good while the women are so poor in performing. Same goes for Nigeria, the male team is wack while the female team are so much better. |
| Re: Falconets Depart For U-20 Women’s Wc by Pharoh: 1:59am On Jul 18, 2010 |
^^ You are right but i think this female team from ghana is quite good but they somehow lack concentration and experience. They are highly motivated but lack finishing upfront and as for Nigeria i think we are good in every department especially our youth teams. Don't use the super eagles to judge the other male teams because we do well at the U17, U20 and Olympic level. Have you been able to watch the matches from www.fifa.com? |
| Re: Falconets Depart For U-20 Women’s Wc by mamagee3(f): 8:38pm On Jul 19, 2010 |
^^Ghanian female players are crap! They are ranking the lowest in their group. |
