FT. Nigeria 4-1 New Zealand.

Fine start for the girls. They will get even better in the second game. I expect it and as for Harmony Chidi... no goal today but mehn, she is the real deal.

Na was oh, so coach can challenge for red card?

Dominican Republic want to win from off the pitch

PDPGuy:
Yes. This tournament (just like the U-20 WC) utilizes the VRS system, whereby teams can make two challenges to a referee’s decision per game. Then, if a team’s first challenge is successful, they will gain an additional challenge opportunity.
But if the first challenge is unsuccessful ie the referee doesn’t change the original decision upon video review, then that team would have one challenge left..

This system is basically a low-cost VAR system that FIFA is trialling to determine whether it can be used as a substitute to the VAR system for countries/competitions that cannot afford to utilize the more expensive VAR system

Yea I already knew about the system but I didn't know they could call for red cards. They shouldn't let a coach like Jose Mourinho see that system oh

Fun facts:

In the group stages of the U-17 WC, the Germans hold the record for the most goals scored at a single group stage - 22. Yes, the Germans scored a whopping 22 goals in 3 group matches at the 2010 edition! 🙆🏾

Meanwhile, the most goals scored by the Flamingoes at a WC group stage is 15, achieved at the 2012 edition.

At the 3rd place match of the 2022 edition, Ajakaye scored Nigeria’s 50th U-17 WC goal against Germany..

Moreover, as of the end of yesterday’s match, the Flamingoes have now scored 56 U-17 WC goals in 25 matches!

Definitely we are the highest scoring African side in the history of U17 WWC till date.

BascoVanVeli:
Finally the ref calls a pen

ekehopp2:
This group is too easy, I expect 9 points.
The challenge will be in the Quarter-finals.
On paper should be USA or Spain.
Both tough!!!
