HT England U20s 0-1 Nigeria U20 Falconets

Rafiu Tosin Solo Goal.

The CB pair has been decent.

Adeshina doing a better job at LB today than in the first game vs Spain although she had to readjust to Ria Bose's overlaps... she struggled in one phase but grew into the game to match Bose.

Mafisere and Tosin are real warriors in the middle of the park.

Semenya needs to calm down and really let her undoubted quality shine through.

Kareem Ramotalahi needs to come into the game more. Already had a clean sight of goal so she should push for more opportunities to punish that English backline.

Aduku's setup today is a lot more solid but it is not eureka yet.

Okay half. But we need to do even better in the second half.
No selfish play, just pass the ball around and let the person most advantaged go for it.

Janet seems too eager to exert herself and she has not exactly used her size effectively as one expects her to. If we saw a calmer and more physically imposing Janet in the 1st half, we would be 3-0 up.

AndSunGorilla:
Am a bit disappointed in Janet. She's losing balls unnecessarily. Our girls also seem lightweight, getting bodied off the ball too easily.

Ofcourse this wont be complete without huge credits to Christiana Uzoma, the Captain.

Uzoma has really matured into a leader from her U17 days and she has single handedly kept our lead when the backline did cave in.

Janet don break NET

Nigeria 2-0 England

Semenya, the female version of Osimhen, her hold up play is very good

Damn. Uzoma's long kick finding Mary Mamudu behind the English Defence. That was brilliant progressive play from Uzoma.

She is really killing it this half. Aduku's idea to drop her just behind another forward player is not bad at all.

3-0!!! Surely game over now!!

Shocking!!! Impossible is nothing!
The girls are on fire today
Aduku has revamped the squad, good for him

TheSuperNerd:
3-0!!! Surely game over now!!

Janet Semenya steals the ball beautifully after pressing like Osimhen (Truidstarr's reference) and feeds it on a plate for Mary Mamudu to bury!!

The Falconets are colonizing England!!! I told you all England are not special.

We've gone out in the Round of 16 in the last 3 editions.
Great to make it to the Quarter Finals in style.
Nigeria 3 - England 0

Janet has showed up in the 2nd half!! Nice goal and assist from her. We should give the coach his flowers for today. If they don't get results another time, we pour him FLOUR!!!

Their decision making at critical phases of the game is still poor

Best game I’ve seen our age grade girls play in almost a decade….

I’m cheesing very hard right now 😊😊😀😀

Please more of this in future 🙏

I like this team's mentality...fighting till the end despite the fact that they are leading by 3 goals.

Our goalkeeper to me is the woman of the match, saving a pen and point blank saves as well
