Oshoala now having her game. Hope we score 2 more in last 8 minutes.

Oshoala out, Uchenna Kanu on. Our goal machine leaves for our goal getter.

Nnadozie with another wonderful save!

Nnadozie again. This girl should just never miss a match for the falcons again. she saved all 7 shots on target she faced. Outstanding.

Oluehi should just forget that position. Nnadozie with another calming save.

Last minute of the game. We don win. Now looking to next game. With Nnadozie, I am calm!

PDPGuy:
What an assist by Chidinma Okeke

That was quick.

See our average position in 2nd half. No wonder Korean coach had to go wide. Dennerby tried but a better team would have punished us.

Uchendu N Okeke did great. Are we sure Okeke shouldn't be drafted as an AMF? That pass was 4 much.


Btw don't ever question Onome Ebi. That woman was surely on a mission today.

Boss was not able to watch the match or follow the first half. Nnadozie was my player of the match but I am wondering what happened to Oluehi for Nnadozie to play because I know Dennerby never get the liver to play him younger players without injury to the older players. Did Oluehi get injured or what happened?

According to people that watch the team training, Nnadozie was by far the best goalie in training. Coach was only afraid of experience. Now the chips are down, he had to use her. Today, she saved us. Also, 2 of the goals we conceded against Norway were goalie faults. I am not surprised the coach benched Oluehi. She's not injured. Nnadozie is just sharper. All commentators and pundits were praising her.

Asisat Oshoal Win the Woman of the match award

Yeah, Nnadozie was the one coming in to the world cup in better form, composure and confidence based on her recent performances. She had always been the best choice but I knew Dennerby would had been scared to start his younger players, so Nnadozie has become a starter be that. Ok oo @BascoVanVeli will be extremely happy. Lol.

What are your thoughts for Monday against France ? I know Nigerian teams perform better after gaining confidence, hopefully this gives the girls confidence to get a positive result on Monday.

KevinDein:
This coach hasn't improved the team. In fact I'll argue the team has regressed. Very cowardly tactics; cede possession to the opponent, employ a mid block, win the ball and hit them on the counter. Seems the girls have too much information to digest hence their ponderous, nervy play. Can't string 3 passes.

You started good and messed up with the bolded. The girls have no information at all. I can bet my last cent that most of these girls are not playing for the passion but for their wellbeing in their clubs hence naiveté. The team needs injection of skilled and hungry young girls from U17 and U-20.

oga olapluto,u will surely make a good commentator...that jollof and bariga really got me rotf .l enjoy ur commentaries. Weldone sir

olapluto:
No nonsense defending from Onome takes us to half time. 1-0.

Which no nonsense are you talking about? This lady's reflects are in serious decline.

I think if we are as discipline and compact as we played today, we will get a result against France. I said here that we werent so bad against Norway, and I wont be surprised if Korea beat Norway.
Team confidence goes up if you have a keeper like Nnadozie. For next game, I will start almost same team, except that I really want to see Ajibade!
If France win tonight, then they may play their team B against us and give us a chance. Also, if France wins by more than 4 goals, then we might be well placed to finish 2nd in the group. Whichever way, we look good to qualify even as 3rd best team. So far, we top that table. I think Cameroon has the chance as well.

olapluto:
Okeke seems to be the target of Korean coach. They want to bypass her and put crosses across. At this time, I'll bring Alice Ogebe to help her.

She has just become the headache of the team's coaches.

olapluto:
Assist by 18 year old Okeke. She would never have played if Faith Ikidi wasnt injured. Lessons for Nigerian coaches in general.

Nigeria has mercenaries not coaches. Before now you, as a coach, would not have allowed her to play. You had gone heavy on imaginary experience.

Dedetwo:

Well, for me, a lot of those young players will effectively replace most underperforming oldies. Joy Bokiri could replace Chikwelu as early as next year. Okeke's place is cemented. The coach identified her pre AWCON but she picked up injury. Any player over 30 in the falcons now can effectively say goodbye after this tournament.

If I am in the position of power or as head coach, young ladies such Peace Efih, Florence Ijamilusi, Charity Ucheibe, Grace Igoamulu, Ugo Emenayo, Tessey Biahwo, Opeyami Sunday, Gloria Ogbonna, Joy Bokiri , Okeke and, of course, Nnadozie should be the backbone of this team.

my take on this match..... I think the coach tactics
is spot on only that there are no educational
particularly in the MF. Oshoala,Ordega and Kanu
are good runners...Desire is excellent at heading
and hold-up play.The problems lies on who is
gonna feed them the required pass? Okobi has not been good lately and the only person who came
close at executing that perfect pass is AJIBADE
IMO. so against France, we need to take our
chances well...I will line them up like this

....Nnadozie..
.. Okeke....Ebi.......Ohale........Ngozi..
.....
.....Ayinde...Chikwelu...
.
Oshoala......
,Ajibade.....Ordega...
.
...........Oparanozie...
. I wish for Kanu to start but I
don't really know who to bench...I might move
Oshoala to the center with Kanu (replacing desire)
at the wing. The front trio can even interchange at
will. And I think we need a young and energetic DM ...the French might be too fast for Chikwelu
and Ayinde though. I stand to be corrected

Have you forgotten so soon that Chidinma Okeke was a striker not long ago? Most converted players are always good in their new positions.

The bolded should not be listed as substitutes talk less starting a match.

plastic fan u know nothing about this team go back to politics section and display your ignorance

This team will lose every match.
A blend of experience and youth blood is what made us win today. Look at Ohale and Onome in the heart of the defence. Even mummy Rita in the midfield was bossing the game from there.

Funny enough you are a typical Nigerian that swims in his/her ignorance. What a stiff. I am not fan but a concerned spectator. You are, in no doubt, a fan hence the ignorance of your silly preference for players.

I think Rita Chikwelu should just continue as the Defensive Midfielder because she has been doing well better than Ayinde in that position...

Ngozi Okobi need to wake up...she's not the Okobi we know.

the stupid team names u rolled out above will be worse than Thailand u have hammering on those same players before the last AWCON i don't know when u will come to your senses and accept the coach has assembled our best players home and abroad

Yes I know she was converted to a CB by Dedevbo but that touch and pass was uh la la Okobi in 2015 level. I think there is more about Chidinma to be discovered. She has Oshoala level athleticism.
