There are six other nigerian players that havent played, she doesnt get an automatic ticket cause she's foreign based, if you've watched her play and seen she has something to add to the team, then that's different.

dkay51:


You have to give it to the girls' defending, they allowed only 4 shots on target in the last 3 matches.

isan:
You're always pessimistic, hating on your own country

daveP:
usa did too now. I guess any team sending usa/Brazil home will hate high confidence to do anything at this stage. And we just did.

daveP:


The first two pks from both sides had early reaction that needed retaking. I guess the ref was signalled to warn them for the 3rd. Glad Jiwuaku listened asap. Almiral want dey do intimidation by giving the ball to our pk takers.

elyte89:


D girls were just resilient,more like an inner mind set to qualify and defensive wise,Dey had good positioning to nullify threat hence leading to more cornerkicks to d ��

codemaniacs:


I'm not pessimistic... I'm realistic... I can never hate on my own girls..

codemaniacs:


U:S could have scored at least 3 goals...

It was luck and good defending from the defenders..

isan:
But if the girls lost it's not luck or anything it's because the coach is not good right ?

naijaseeker:


Good defending would not be luck sha

oloriooko:
i think FIFA should consider reducing the circumference of the ball for gals , our gals are finding it so difficult to kick the ball just as US too

codemaniacs:


If the girls lost then they tried their best..

U:S:A are one of the favorites..

the coach must be your relative

isan:

codemaniacs:


she has trained in better academies so she should be given game time even if its 5 minutes..

Anytime the U:S:A players were on the ball especially Suarez and Onyeka Gamero they had messi-like close control and were toying with our players..

I haven't watched her play...

Deltamani:


She’s a defender by the way….

isan:
Maybe they teach you how to give credit in your village

Pidginwhisper:
Who’s this girl? She’s pretty asf!!! She looks like proper butty.

ThePresenceWtf:


That's Aliima ALASE ATTERVALL. She's Swedish but represents Nigeria internationally. She plays as a defender.

Opeyemi Ajakaiye was poor today.
She played as if she was not part of the team. When the ball couldn't reach you, why not just drop deep and overload the Midfield. You can't utilize your pace by staying upfield.
It might be due to the coach instructions.

timay1:


A lot of sane people proposed reducing ball circumference, pitch size and goal post for the women's game, but most of those suggestions were shut down so that they won't look like misogynists.

Implementing those three things will speed up the women's game play and make it look at par with the Men's game in terms of quality

PDPGuy:


Yes, she didn’t live up to expectations today. But, as you said, it may have been the coach’s instruction for her to remain upfield in case a loose ball from our box reached her.

So which country would the Flamingoes battle in the semis?

TheSuperNerd:
Winner of Tanzania vs Colombia.

If Tanzania wins, we would have an all-African Semis battle.
