potland:
kanu is more of a goal threat than team player

Deltamani:
You must take it to heart that Ucheibe will continue to play in that Midfield as she’s very fit, have the energy of two players, Fast and her Defensive attributes in the

potland:
I fear for this team oh. Kanu, ucheibe onumonu, plumptre should never near first team again. They are bunch of liabilities

potland:

In all the matches played today 4 goals were scored
except for the falcons game. I have to admit conceding just one (not counting that rubbish 2nd goal in 13 mins extra time) goal in 3 games shows how disciplined this team is. I hope people still show support on social media cos they will all see it. 7 days break will be good for us.

Unlimited22:
That extra time goal shaa

But the Aussies are good at corners.

This Randy go like sweet girls o🙂

I wonder how them dey reason sef

Somebody beats England 8-0 and that's the team you want to play.

Like Spain and Canada right? You're making sense walahi

I can't believe I've searched everywhere for a picture of the Woman of the Match with her prize and I can't find it. Can anybody help me post that?

kheny12:
The Ireland keeper was voted WOTM.i saw it on their page.

isan:
Few bad calls here and there doesn't mean FIFA is biased the referees are only human

potland:
This defensive low block will kill us in the long run if we refuse come out and play. A team that has the ball wins the match. Sitting back to soak pressure will only reduce our chances going forward

Unlimited22:
Her biggest asset is that she's fast.

Curtisaxel10:
Maybe because of her save against Kanu.

daveP:
Not just fast. Her goal threat is there as well. She doesn't need more than a touch to threaten an opponents goal. Swap her with 4 other players for that goal vs Aussies and watch as they'll all miss by taking an extra touch.


Payne's cross too...


She has her own issues, but she's more than just pace abeg.

elyte89:
If our wing role players can b very effective (both the left and right side)…we can reach d semis of dis competition

Unlimited22:
You understand that biggest does not mean only, àbí?

daveP:
Sincerely, Wingbacks tactics will work efficiently. Why cos all 3 games, the most penetrable spots were our flanks. Even when it was locked up, all 3 teams still loved to pass thru their cos the centre was on lock. If Alozie and Imuran/Plumptre can play such role, we won't really need our Wingers coming back to defend anything. Easier said than done, but we have the personnel to play the style well.

Jaybee3456:
Thissss 343, where the front two paired with the striker are more like playing midfield.

Nigeria 🇳🇬🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

The real fact here is that our girls played good football.
Ireland gave Australia big problems, we beat Australia convincingly! Ireland scored Canada first and would've drawn with them of not for their defender's error, they lost the match to Canada, we drew against Canada. Now Australia whooped Canada 4–0! The same Australia we beat! We're actually the best team in our group!

Ireland girls are playing EXACTLY the same tactics we're using, painstaking defence, then counterattack. We just tasted our own medicine and I'm happy we stood strong! It's just like Dream League's All Star mode - you playing against yourself. In this kind of match, it can go both ways or end in a draw!

Going into the knockout stages, watch and see wonders. Naija is sailing to the Quarterfinals! And then to the Semis ✍🏾

For the record 📉

✅ 6 games unbeaten for the Super Falcons 🦅 now!
✅ FIRST African team to keep two cleansheets at the FIFA Women's World Cup
✅ First time going to the knockout stages UNBEATEN!
✅ FIRST time Nigeria is going proceeding out a a group with a positive goal difference (+1)

Respect 🫡

Congratulations 🎉 Super Falcons 🦅💚
Congratulations Randy Marlon Waldrum 🇺🇸🇳🇬💚
