Love the way this guy speaks, wishing him well at Ajax, and hope he redeems himself completely. It's all in his hands now to be like Papilo!

Hmm 🤔 Ohale with errors

Red card to demehin

Why did the coach drop that oyinbo player?

Demehin was dumbb
How could you escape one red card only few minutes to get one
Is the girl so clueless
Well she has single handedly joined our goalie to send us back home
I expected better play for her

It appears the ref is out against Nigeria . On two occasions Zambian deserved a red card but she never checked VAR but for Nigeria she uses 6 minutes to check . The coach should remove one striker and bring in central defender .

Very annoying ..village people ..The coach should be searching for more defenders . We lack defenders .

She is not fit

Gk is fat and heavy. All the players re just heavy. I think this is the worst I have seen of the falcons

I haven't watched a match Bright Osayi played that he finished the match fit

He's always looking injured or getting subbed injured seems he ain't that fit always

Full time..
Naija 1 Zam 0

This is a very good 👍 result for Nigeria . Playing ten against 11 is not easy especially against Zambia .

Even though Dimehin acted fooolishly, the girls played their hearts out just to keep their hopes alive
Congrats to them
Women refs are horrible, I can't see how this will help women soccer in Africa, it's pathetic

Is the rumor that only the winner qualifies for the Afcon true? CAF shouldn’t be unfortunate o

BascoVanVeli:
So Everton is looking to sign Baris. I wonder who Galatasaray have in mind as replacement.

I don't think they have anyone in mind. They are just annoying during transfer windows. Too many rumors, zero signings.

Coming here again to quote this. You are forgetting that the falcons are still the No 1 country in Africa and the female football is not really growing that fast as expected. That first match is what it is, a glitch. It was not meant to happen and wont happen again for a while. The race for the world cup ticket and no 11 is back on track as intended.

SolaFide:
Nigeria will not pick up the World Cup ticket.
Nigeria will not qualify out of the group.

When we wailed that Madugu was not good enough to lead the SF, they reminded us that he won the WAFCON. The last WAFCON was won by individual brilliance, not Madugu's tactical acumen.

Banda of Zambia is now a diver
She was senselessly looking for pen, disgracing her generations falling like water, useless girl

Well African origin players like Eusebio and Zidane. Arguably, Okocha too.
