🚩 FT: 🇲🇦 MAR [1]–[0] COL 🇨🇴

The Atlas Lionesses 🦁 of Morocco 🇲🇦 are through to the knockout stages of the FIFA Women's World Cup for the first time 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥!

For the records 📉
✅ First African team to proceed to the knockout stages of the World Cup on their debut
✅ First African team to win two games at the FIFA Women's World Cup
✅ Second African team to keep two cleansheets at the FIFA Women's World Cup
✅ The African team with the highest point going into the knockout stages (6 points)!

Congratulations 🎉 to the Atlas Lionesses 🦁
Congratulations 🎉 Africa 🌍

A quick reminder that EA Sports AI predicted that no African team would progress to the Round of 16 of the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup 😱

Guess what?

Canada 🇨🇦 - ❌
Germany 🇩🇪 - ❌
Italy 🇮🇹 - ❌
Brazil 🇧🇷 - ❌

All replaced by:

Nigeria 🇳🇬 - ✅
Morocco 🇲🇦 - ✅
South Africa 🇿🇦 - ✅
Jamaica 🇯🇲 - ✅*

*Jamaica is not an African country but we move 😁
That AI was definitely on colos 🤣

Imaging only Japan is the Asian team that qualified to the next round.And FIFA ranked those Asian teams ahead of Nigeria because of corruption.

I knew Australia play under Asia but am talking about continents.

You need to understand how this ranking works. Frankly, the ranking is somehow. But looking at it vividly and taking into account, the criteria, you will understand better.

Tell me I want to know.Was it because they do play enough friendly matches like she believes, Arnold cup,turkish invitation cyprus cup or etc.The likes of Thailand, Chinese Taipei and Vietnam are ahead of Nigeria super falcons.IF our u 20 or u17 jam Thailand and Vietnam senior team,Dem go collect wotowoto from our juniors team.

A team tends to lose more points if they lost against a teams ranked below them than the ones above them.



A team tends to win more points when they defeat teams ranked above them than the ones below them.


This is how the points are calculated. Personally, that is rubbish but na them sabi

Actually that ranking na rubbish. Sincerely. Teams that haven't done anything worthwhile like Nigeria don't deserve to be ranked above us. Its hilarious. Totally hilarious. That Ireland own weak me pass. If their own continental competition made them climb up well enough, then ours supposed to make up climb even higher as well. I know things are bad but Vietnam?? 😂😂😂

Infact everyone from 30-39 don't deserve to be about Nigeria and South Africa. But we move. E no just gel. The friendlies we played as well didn't look like something came from it too. Not only Nigeria though. Just as example. Some other teams supposed dey above some teams

It is rubbish jare.... But then we're not helping matter too. We should have climbed up more than this. Before Pinnick came on board, a year would go by without playing a single friendly. There is also the frequent losses too.

lovewins:
1 playoff slot not 2

its 2. One for Cameroon one for senegal. Sadly, they crashed out in the playoff finales

CAF should start off negotiating for 6 guaranteed slots, with one slot taken away from Asia. Then if there is too much opposition to the original offer, CAF should not settle for less than 5 guaranteed slots.

Yea. Got it mixed up with the men's. Deltamani already corrected me.

The AWCON doesn't really do anything for us ranking wise because every team at the tournament are already below us but if we lose a single match it will affect our ranking badly

Word from a reliable source is that some England and US-born players are expressing interest in being a part of the Super Falcons…

This one isn't even an internal issue. It's beyond our control. Many others too didn't really play anything. Okay Zambia that use friendlies to pack schedule like puffpuff basket nko? Still fare away. See what I'm saying? Let's see how they move up big after this. They all should be in top 30. I've decided not to use the lens of men's ranking to view this cos that one is still fair to an extent. But this one?? Lol.
