Yeah, Nnadozie was the one coming in to the world cup in better form, composure and confidence based on her recent performances. She had always been the best choice but I knew Dennerby would had been scared to start his younger players, so Nnadozie has become a starter be that. Ok oo @BascoVanVeli will be extremely happy. Lol.

What are your thoughts for Monday against France ? I know Nigerian teams perform better after gaining confidence, hopefully this gives the girls confidence to get a positive result on Monday.

I think if we are as discipline and compact as we played today, we will get a result against France. I said here that we werent so bad against Norway, and I wont be surprised if Korea beat Norway.
Team confidence goes up if you have a keeper like Nnadozie. For next game, I will start almost same team, except that I really want to see Ajibade!
If France win tonight, then they may play their team B against us and give us a chance. Also, if France wins by more than 4 goals, then we might be well placed to finish 2nd in the group. Whichever way, we look good to qualify even as 3rd best team. So far, we top that table. I think Cameroon has the chance as well.

Boss was not able to watch the match or follow the first half. Nnadozie was my player of the match but I am wondering what happened to Oluehi for Nnadozie to play because I know Dennerby never get the liver to play him younger players without injury to the older players. Did Oluehi get injured or what happened?

According to people that watch the team training, Nnadozie was by far the best goalie in training. Coach was only afraid of experience. Now the chips are down, he had to use her. Today, she saved us. Also, 2 of the goals we conceded against Norway were goalie faults. I am not surprised the coach benched Oluehi. She's not injured. Nnadozie is just sharper. All commentators and pundits were praising her.

That was quick.

See our average position in 2nd half. No wonder Korean coach had to go wide. Dennerby tried but a better team would have punished us.

Last minute of the game. We don win. Now looking to next game. With Nnadozie, I am calm!

Oluehi should just forget that position. Nnadozie with another calming save.

Nnadozie again. This girl should just never miss a match for the falcons again. she saved all 7 shots on target she faced. Outstanding.

Nnadozie with another wonderful save!

Oshoala out, Uchenna Kanu on. Our goal machine leaves for our goal getter.

Oshoala now having her game. Hope we score 2 more in last 8 minutes.

Anam Imo coming on. We absolutely need goals now. Ordega out.

Oshoala with another chance. She didnt take it. Time to score more goals girls!!

Assist by 18 year old Okeke. She would never have played if Faith Ikidi wasnt injured. Lessons for Nigerian coaches in general.

Game over. Phew. Omo oro! She took the keeper to Isolo and back to Bariga.

GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL Oshoala

We need an attacking sub you feckless Swede!!!

70th minute now. Our experienced players are stepping up. Chikwelu calming down game. Onome wasting time.

Player of the match for me is Chikwelu. We had 66% pass accuracy. Na God help us.

Korean attacks have died down a bit and we're picking up.

Sub for 9ja. Uchendu off... Halimatu mi Ayinde comes on.
Shore up the midfield and stop these attacks Halimatu.

Korea attacking with much purpose now. If we ride this till 70th minute, I'll be impressed. Another corner to Korea.

Chikwelu's elbow has broken the teeth of Korean captain. She needs to be careful.

Chikwelu with a yellow for elbow. Unnecessary yellow.

Okeke seems to be the target of Korean coach. They want to bypass her and put crosses across. At this time, I'll bring Alice Ogebe to help her.

Equaliser Korea!!! Or not....Offside.
Nnadozie makes a bit of a mess of a cross, and Korean scores, but VAR guys like jollof rice. so still 1-0

Oshoala so athletic! she just ran a 50 m sprint. Keeper got there first though. We go again. Those subs seem to have doused Korean attack if anything.

Smelling blood, Korea bring on 2 attackers. The coach seems to believe he can break our defence at this moment. How will Dennerby react?

A few dangerous attacks from Korea. We need maximum concentration at this moment. Next 10 mins vital.

Koreans hugging the flanks now. Want to open us up. They forget about Ordega and Oshoala?

WHoever told these Koreans to get physical is making a mistake. Super falcons will chew them like KFC fried chicken.

Nnadozie again with a very good save. I'll take her as my 2nd wife.

Oparanozie with a great head. Just over the post. Just!

Koreans trying too hard now. We just need to pick them out. We need plenty goals o.

Jittery defensive moments by Nigeria, but we ride it...or not? Korea dives for penalty. Gets yellow. Thank you ref.
