Jaybee3456:
Tomorrow ke, tune in at 11 today o

Lol my bad 😂

Barbara Banda scored the 1000th goal in FIFA WWC history

Jaybee3456:
No ayinde or abiodun to hold down the midfield for the falcons today? omoooo thank God ireland are a defensive setup team as well sha.

Ayinde is fit for tomorrow

Goal for Zambia! The 5th time an African team has taken the lead at this WC!!

AkinDS:
So could have the vicious shin stump by Evelyn Viens on Ohale which had multiple compound fracture written all over it and was a no call (it seems all the people in the VAR room were on a bathroom break when the incident happened).
The Canadian got up and completed the match as if nothing happened. Clearly, there was no ill-intent from Abiodun, unlike the Canadians stump which was intentional.

💯💯

BascoVanVeli:
The rules say it is one match unless the disciplinary people add extra so I guess they added the extra

Got it. TBF, her tackle on the Canadian player is one that could have ruled out that player for a year or more

It’s official!

The Morocco win over South Korea is now the biggest upset in FIFA WWC history..

BascoVanVeli:
Here

A straight red is now a 2-match at the WC. That’s harsh!

BankyGee:
E far o

Lol. E go come quick

The Super Falcons prospective Round of 16 match will be on August 7…

The quarterfinals are on Wednesday August 2

D’Tigress will meet the winner of the Mozambique vs the 3rd placed team in group A match, in the quarterfinals

FT: Nigeria 83-65 Egypt

D’Tigress are now 21-0 in Afrobasket play!
Last loss was to Cameroon in the semis of the 2015 tournament

D’Tigress have been aggressive with their rebounds, which is good to see.. But shooting only 29% from two-point field attempts is poor; that has to improve in the second half

lovewins:
First quarter

Nigeria 18
Egypt 10.

The girls are playing good defense. Yet to be convinced about their offense. They shouldn't have a problem winning this though.

As the commentators are saying, their offense looks cluttered at times.. But it’s not surprising cos the ladies have only been together for less than 2 weeks, so it will take some time for their offense to gel

No cap, but the Falcons would have been 3-0 up over these Koreans by now…

codemaniacs:
Firstly, they have to win or draw against Ireland...

Super Falcons needs to work on controlling possession and not giving out corner kicks. If the opposition gets corner kick then the tallest super Falcon player should mark the tallest opposition player.. I don't know where Onome Ebi was when Kennedy was heading the ball.''

Its Nnadozie that has been saving the Super Falcons from conceding too many goals...

Now that there's a good GoalKeeper, SF needs to learn possession football and clearing the ball immediately instead of passing it among the defenders, let the midfielders and the strikers learn to pass among themselves so that the ball can be in opposition side on the pitch and not Super Falcons side of the pitch.

Super Falcons must not under-estimate Ireland.

You raised good points.

The team has to find a way to prevent 65-70% of the match being in their own half! I don’t know whether the solution to the poor possession stat is by flooding the midfield with four or five players.

Morocco scores their first ever WWC goal!

Unbelievable fun fact:

For the first time ever, the Super Falcons have the chance to end the group stage of a FIFA World Cup with a positive goal difference😱

Moreover, following the Falcons 3-2 win over Australia, the Super Falcons have achieved a positive goal difference after their first 2 WC matches for the first time ever!

Uganda are surprisingly close to Senegal

As we celebrate our darling Super Falcons, let us also support our D’Tigress who take to the court for their first 2023 Women’s Afrobasket game vs DR Congo, tomorrow, at 10:30am 😎😎

raumdeuter:
What will those fundamental Moslems now say about this moslem sister abi dem go carry face like PDPguy and iamoyindamola?

This guy 🤣😂

Who would have thought that Oshoala would score from an impossible angle in two successive world cups? 😁

That chick is special!

raumdeuter:
Those of you who watched to see Oshoala remove jersey hope you are satisfied

🤣🤣🤣

Unlimited22:
Is Imuran not left footed?

Wahala dey o because Glory Ogbonna na expressway

Exactly.. Only if Nicole had been part of the squad, I would have put Alozie and Demehin on the bench

Jojodjo:
Has Ayinde been ruled ruled out or you just decided to drop her?
So shaky Demehin stays while Alozie goes to the bench??

No be say Alozie bad like that o, Demehin rather sits it out for Imuran while Plumptre goes back to CB
Again, has Ayinde been ruled out Abi you no rate am

For Ayinde, I’m just erring on the side of caution cos we don’t want to lose her for the knockout round.
As for Demehin, yes she was shaky in the first half, but gradually improved on her confidence in the second half

JohnBullMySon:
We still need to keep it tight here. This people can't come and spoil what we have started oh.

I know they're out but it's still a match to play.

For real!
My preferred lineup for Monday would be

—Imuran——Ohale—-Demehin—-Plumptre—-

————————Ucheibe——————-

—————Echegini—-Payne—————-

——Oshoala——-Kanu——Ajibade———-

Alozie needs a rest before she cops another yellow and is suspended for the round of 16😁

BronzeTiger:
Another must win game so we can try to top the group and avoid the big names. I believe we can do it. Go super falcons. 🦅.

Yes oh!
I don’t mind a front three of Okoronkwo, Gift Monday and Kanu 😂

Republic of Ireland v Nigeria comes up on Monday at 11am

CornOak:
She turns up when you least expected.

Omo, with 10 players o.

And she has become the first African, male or female, to score at 3 different world cups!!

The Super Falcons record their biggest ever win at a WC!

11 mins of injury time 🤣
