Looks like a physically and technically uneven match up between these two sides. One side wins all the aerial and physical duels while their keeper is on vacation.

If Hayatou was not from Cameroon, Nigeria will be 2-0 up by now

kilo4sure:

Interesting.

Come on Nigeria is arguably the best team FOR WOMEN in African football and you should focus more on proving that again this afternoon rather than dwelling on the nationality of the caf president.

aylagos:
now between me and you tell me the truth no one is here to see it we are just two here otherss are sleeping, Did you win that final in the year 2000 or ref and hayatu influnce ?

We won that final on penalties. We relaxed after racing 2-0 up and let Nigeria back into the game.

frugal:

Quite myopic. Little officiating 'errors' can cost you a game no matter how good you are.

Being worried about officiating days before a game is a sign of insecurity stemming from lack of confidence to me.

For those citing Issa Hayatou and his Cameroonian roots as an excuse for the refs, am sorry for you.
Our glory days of 1990 World Cup and Roger milla, Samuel eto'o have never needed a helping hand from Mr. Hayatou and we really don't care if he is car president or FIFA president. Nobody said Switzerland are given Favours because blatter is Swiss. That is because they are just not good enof. Period!
If caf president was from Lesotho would they be able to beat Nigeria due to officiating? I don't think so!
If Nigeria was playing Mali for the finals and the refs were Malian, would Mali have carried the day?

Play your best game and hope to win!
In 2000 we could have been worried abt the ref as well because the finals were in Lagos. Instead we focused on our game and carried the day.

The winner of today will be the better side and of course the best female team in Africa!

This is your Cameroon boy!! Found this thread online!!

We beat our lovely neighbors Nigeria only when it matters most: 1984, 1988 and most thrilling 2000 afcon male finals in Surulere (in what was arguably the best Nigerian team for that decade.
Winning against that Nigerian side on the eve of Valentine's Day in front of a packed surulere stadium was not the best valentine's gift to our Nigerian lovers.
You beat us in the quarter finals in 2004 but was not as painful because we already were champions for two straight editions.
We are coming for you in August. We love your beautiful stadium in uyo but like in 2000 finals we need to set the records right.
We love your movies and you are great at them but we just have that slight upper advantage in football.


Regarding the women, we in Cameroon have never been interested in this sport for women till last year when we qualified for the first World Cup. There is almost a non existent women football league in our country and all resources are geared towards the men. In fact the only reason why me/millions of Cameroonians are following this is because it is played in our home and has been billed as the rehearsal tournament for the 2019 Afcon to be hosted in Cameroon.
Nigeria has dominated the game and kudos to you for your consistency while the sport was still somehow in the shadows for most African countries. Now with the sport getting more limelight and interest, we also would really love to steal that spotlight this afternoon. Beating Nigeria this afternoon will mark the end of Nigerian domination and the beginning of a new era in women soccer.

Have always known Oshoala is a he. This is solid proof. Wetin she dey protect?

If the girls are good enof they should win Cameroon. Stop making excuses already for officiating. Bitter truth is Cameroon is yet to concede a goal in the tournament. That is not due to bad refereeing.

Wud love to see a Nigeria vs Cameroon semi final sha.
