As bad as this news is, it opens the door to a more energetic Nigerian display against Germany (if we make it). I'll just put Ordega in her position and deploy Ajibade to replace Ordega. Ogonna Chukwudi should be readying herself because its like the team is down to bare bones now.
By tomorrow night after Scotland vs Argentina, then we will know 90% if we're qualifying. If that game ends in a draw, then we should start travelling to where we will play on Tuesday next week.

I don’t think Ebere will miss the next match because she didn’t receive a straight red or am I wrong?

Dedetwo:
I guess when a player receives a red card, he/she automatically misses the next match.

fujirice:
Yes but she didn’t get a straight red. It was a second caution in one game which turned to red. I think she will still play in the next match

PDPGuy:
Nope.
Ebere was actually sent off, so she will definitely miss the match. Same with Chikwelu

isan:
she will miss it

fujirice:
Did Chikwelu receive a red card or she was injured?
I know Ebere was sent off but it’s not a straight red card. That’s my point

Penalty rebound opportunity should be removed in football. The penalty should be between the player and the goalie. If the goalie parries the ball, the match should be restarted with a goal kick.

So 3rd place in group B and C are through

PDPGuy:
Yes. The remaining two best 3rd-team spots are between Nigeria, Argentina, Scotland, New Zealand, Cameroon, Chile and Thailand.

Nigeria would be guaranteed a knockout place if the Argentina v Scotland, New Zealand v Cameroon, and Chile v Thailand matches all end in draws. This is a LONG shot scenario though.
Funny enough, Japan could finish third in their group if they lose to England, and Argentina beat Scotland by a 2-goal margin.

olapluto:
So we dont need all the matches to end in a draw. We just need 1 or 2 to end in a draw. Chile can beat Thailand 2-0 and still not go through. I personally think Chile will not beat Thailand by much. Thailand are not pushovers like that. Argentina vs Scotland is the massive one for me. If they draw tomorrow night, we are almost guaranteed a place. Cameroon will beat NZ and join us in the R16. I fear VAR will help Scotland tomorrow. The VAR ref for that match....is European! There's a pattern for these things now. VAR ref is European, expect an European VAR advantage. They have used bias to kill VAR in its infancy.

If Nigeria is lucky enough to sail through to the knockout round.

Brazil finish with 6 points and are through to the round of 16.

KevinDein:
Here's hoping for a boring nil nil between Scotland and Argentina.

Mizwisdom:
I don't think we'll qualify

olapluto:
Damn Scotland score. We need an Argentine equalizer.

KevinDein:
You don't rate Ayinde? Not even in your second team. I'd personally go with the team that started the last game with Ajibade coming in for Oshoala
