Nigeria will find it hard to score if we rely on Oparanozie. shes tired.

Finally, Okon signals someone on the bench to start warming up. Phew!

Oshoala has dropped to the midfield. Ordega up front, Oparanozie on flanks. Nigeria still struggling.

Nigeria playing disjointed like first half. No coordination.

Second half starts, no changes....I dey looks oo. Cramps will start coming as early as 10 mins.

Half time. Australia deserving leaders, but the Aussies are tiring. IF OKON does not change at half time, he is tactically inept and should never be in charge of any team again.
Our girls are visibly unfit, and expectedly so.

Ordega shouldnt come out for 2nd half ooo. .

Everytime I hear Okon screaming, I feel like shooting him. He's ruining this team.

Oparanozie is running empty. Just lost a one on one chance again.

This is terrible. Can we remove someone NOW please coach.... This can end like 5-0.

Pull out Ohale and bring Njoku and pull out Ordega or Oparanozie. This can end badly because Australia is just controlling the match anyhow.

I dont see Nigeria coming back like against Sweden. The tank is empty. Okon is a joke.

Goal Australia. been coming.

Australia almost scored again!! Nigeria not getting the grip again.

dodobytes:
we are losing the midfield....pull out a striker and put in a midfielder...choke the center

The girls are not fit. Simple. Okon is a joke.

Nigeria living dangerously. Aussie shot on target.

Josephine Chukwunonye down injured, but back up and crowd applaud.

First shot on goal, easily caught by Aussie keeper.

As expected, the frontline is slow today. You cant play for so long on artificial pitch and expect to be fully fit. Okon olodo.

Okobi just sold an Aussie player. She should be drafted to super eagles. Too good.

Nigeria rampaging. Almost scored.

Nigeria camped in Australia final third, so far no output. Ohale just wasted a throw in.

Freekick wasted. Nigeria back on attack immediately.

Almost through on goal, Oparanozie fell by the pitch. Good start and control by Nigeria. Winning all balls but Australia have a dangerous freekick. Just outside the box.

Matfch on. Nigeria attacking early on. Australia no clue yet. 2 mins.

Australia playing a 4-3-3, while Nigeria is playing a 4-4-2. Our midfield will have a field day like this.

Now to Nigerian anthem.....

Australian national anthem. The Nigerian gals were singing 'Who can battle with the lord? I say nobody....' as they came out of the tunnel. Game on.

The ladies are wearing white today. If we dont win this match, Okon deserves to be stoned.

This coach is risking burnout! These are ladies, even men are not so fit to play two straight matches in few days on artificial turf. I expected at least Esther Sunday started and Ordega used as a sub. We are burning out fast. These are not super humans.

Please lets respect our ladies and keep this thread focussed on the super falcons. From the look of things, the girls are probably going to go further than the guys.
If that happens, then they deserve alot more respect. BUT I am still very afraid of Edwin Okon and his self destruct button.

In the prematch conference, Australian coach was asked if he can take risks against Nigeria. If Nigeria is leading, can the coach go attacking and play like 3 defenders?
The coach replied...hahaha what a good idea! Play 3 at the back against Nigeria? Thats a joke!
Seems people are respecting our attack lineup. The 4 Os are striking fear into opponents. *Oparanozie, Ordega, Oshoala and Okobi. They all scored against Sweden (Oparanozie own goal).
