Thai actually play well offensively. Or maybe Chile are throwing everything forward.

Goal Chile!!! Game on. 40 long minutes of big heartbeat for Nigerian fans because Chile seem to have upped their game.

Could be super eagles and falcons playing on same day. We cant play Italy again because FIFA has given them China. Now we play Germany.

Half time. 0-0. Thailand more likely to score based on the fact they create clear cut chances.

Na this kind game Chile wan win by 3-0? If not for their goalie, they would have had baskets of goals.

Only reason Chile are not down by much is their goalie. She provides another good save to stop a goal bound shot. Chile with the gragra, Thailand with the better chances. 5 minutes to half time.

Thailand almost scored! They are playing a more tactical game than Chile as I predicted. Corner to Thailand.

35 mins in, and still a ding dong affair. Chile with more chances, but they are forcing issues and not creating clear cut chances.

This Chile - Thailand match resembles a fight between David and Goliath.

To me, it looks like Chicken fight so far. Both teams just matching each other out. No standouts after 15 minutes.

Games underway. Chile with an early burst as expected. Still 0-0. First shot on target to....Thailand!

mostob:
well...lemme just support you with faith. what I know is that if score remain 0-0 till 60th mins ,we get chance

Cameroon had better chances to go through and they took it. I have seen both Thailand and Chile play, and I'm still convinced Thailand is a stronger team. Whatever happened to them against big teams is another thing, but they are not pushovers.

It is over, Chile will over flog Thailand, now that they know what they need to do. It is now time to actually look at our team and say the truth to ourselves and to them too.

O Ye of little faith. Nigeria will qualify.

BascoVanVeli:
Africa United could end up sending us home.

We are not coming home tonight bro. Chile is not a footballing superpower in women football. Their best player is their goalie. Their attack is watery. I am still holding up to a Thailand win. My mind is settled that Nigeria qualified last night.

Africa United

ykalhaji:
Dude Cameroon might be the reason we don't qualify bro.

No sir. We go to round 2 together with Cameroon. Africa United!
Chile can NEVER beat Thailand by more than 2 goals. Even if Thailand is playing with 9 players.

OOooooooooooh Cameroon had like 4 attempts at once and all were blocked

VAR should give Cameroon a penalty there.

If it stays at 1-0, Nigeria still ahead of Cameroon.

YES! Cameroon joining Nigeria in round 2.

BascoVanVeli:
I have also talked about dropping Okobi but she picked up last match and I don't think now is the time because that would basically mean the coach fielding a new midfield at this stage in a competition if we make it.

Exactly. We have about 4 outfield players not available to play. The team virtually picks itself now. We could afford to drop Okobi if Chikwelu wasnt suspended. I think its time for players like AJibade to step up and take the occasion same way Nnadozie and Okeke did.

That comeback by Argentina will hopefully have given the girls a big lift.
Some tasty match ups in next round:
France vs Brazil
England vs China or Cameroon(?)
USA vs Spain
Italy vs Nigeria or China
Germany vs Nigeria or Brazil.

Dedetwo:
If Nigeria luckily qualifies for the next round of the competition, Okobi and Ayinde should not even dress up as substitutes. One of the problems that engulf Africans is inability to make a drastic change.

Guy you can't be a coach o. With all the injuries and suspensions those 2 will absolutely start

VAR coming into premier league next season will be lit. If they also enforce this new penalty rules, the refs may not be able to handle the backlash. Mike Dean and co will look like angels when VAR comes in. That Scottish keeper was on the fecking line.

Super falcons are absolutely buzzing in their hotel now. They believe they have qualified. I am thinking maybe Oshoala can recover before saturday now. Anyways, I am OK if Asisat does not play. We have players to replace her. Our greatest miss are Ebere and Chikwelu. Absolute engines. Ebere takes all set pieces, so we have to delegate Okobi to do that. Also, Ayinde needs to step up to Chikwelu's position.

Twitter is boiling right now. The Brits have brought out their daggers.

Truly, the goalkeeper "one foot on the goal line" penalty rule must go. It's grossly unfair to the goalie.

It is impossible to save the next penalty. Even if saved, the keeper is likely 1 mm off the line. They might as well call every penalty a goal. Imagine a professional player not scoring a pen when the keeper is rooted to one spot.

OK people, I am 100% sure Thailand will not lose to Chile by 3-0. If anything, Thailand is likely to win that match. Chile is tier 4, Thailand is Tier 3.

We will beat Germany btw. If we play like we did against France, Germany is toast.

hulk616:
Thailand has conceded 18 goals already.
Thailand must not concede more than 3 goals against chile

Chile will not beat Thailand by 3-0 Im sure of that.

semid4lyfe:
Full Time!

Scotland Vs Argentina ends 3 - 3.

Excellent result for Nigeria. We still hope. . .

I am absolutely sure Chile will not beat Thailand by 3-0. I now wish for Cameroon and Nigeria to qualify. Im so happy tonight.

FIFA will hear it from the vocal British media. This VAR and penalty decisions will die soon.

Congratulations Nigeria. We are 99% sure of going through now. Thailand will deal with Chile. Phew!
Now we can start discussing Nigeria vs Germany. Miracle!

YESSSSSSSSSS 3-3. We are going through if this remains like this. Unbelievable. VAR is sweet

Pen MiSSED!

To me, as clear a pen as possible. It should be given, it is given!!!!!!!
