The Super Falcons of Nigeria will get to the finals 🙏. They will recover from this slow start and still win the Cup. If Nigeria meets Malawi again in this tournament, Nigeria will defeat Malawi. Mark my words.

femi4:
With this win, their destiny is in their hand. They just need to beat egypt

barajo1:
if Zambia defeats Malawi, we will need a lot of goals to qualify!
But if Malawi wins or draw, we just need to win Egypt to qualify.
In fact, a draw against Egypt may qualify us, if Zambia losses

Zaphnath1:
It is hard for me to believe we lose our first match with this squad, this girls played well with 10 man, it doesn't look as if they were red carded

ovie8200:
Nigeria do not need plenty of goals. 3 nail is enough. Why I say, if Malawi wins, Nigeria go. If Zambia win Malawi 1 nail, Nigeria go with better goal than Malawi. If Malawi and Zambia tied, Nigeria go. Nigeria just 3 or 4 goal is more than good enough.

Apcshit:
Your analysis is incorrect

Gbam. Malawi too will do everything to win or draw their third match because if they lose and Nigeria wins by 3 goal margins, Malawi will be out.

Kajaard:
Na Echegini I like pass for the team. Her swag is too much. Lovely girl.

Omoawoke:
Nigeria needs just 1-0 win against Egypt to qualify irrespective of what happens in the other matches

I just studied the head to head rule and whatever happens, Nigeria just need 1-0 win

Sonyboom:
They are not worthy of any praise. If they never played the first match like lunatics we won't be here. They are all mad especially the entire coaching staff.

Okay, let me break down the reason for my praise.

This is exactly how the girls have started every tournament since 2018, yet they've gone on to win it almost every time, except for one edition. And you can point to one major reason for those slow starts: the lack of quality friendlies.

Friendlies help build chemistry among the players, allow the coaching staff to identify their best XI, and assess everyone's form before the tournament begins. Instead, the Super Falcons end up doing all of that during the tournament itself. So, the players have to dig deep, relying on experience and individual brilliance until the team gradually finds its balance during the tournament. That's why they usually get better with every game.

Now, some will argue that previous Super Falcons teams also played few or no friendlies. That's true. But what was the quality of the opposition across Africa back then?

The reality is that many African nations have invested heavily in women's football and have caught up with us. Unfortunately, that's a reality the f00lish FA and many arrogant Nigerian fans have failed to recognize.
