it’s a bit late to start grooming players into new roles. Rather, it seems reps would be better spent allowing the players to work in the position they are likely to play in France and build chemistry.

BascoVanVeli:
The build up was so sexy I'm not even sure kids should be watching it

The build up was really nice, I hope they continue to improve this way...By the way Rita Chikwelu has to keep her form and continue working harder.

mostob:
Slovakia even misses a penalty at the last minute.

Nigeria also missed a penalty....

Coach Florence Omagbemi and Uche Ngozi Eucharia would do better with this player's...
NFF with their funny character.

"I haven’t had the opportunity to visit myself, but I think it would be awesome if my first time going there would be to connect with family I’ve never met, and also do what I love most in the world, which is play soccer.
"I’ve grown up rooting for both Nigeria and America in World Cups and I love the Nigerian style of play. I admire so many of the female and male players and grew up wanting to play like them.
"The mix of high technical creativity and physical prowess is something that Nigeria is known for, and I hope to emulate those qualities in my game as well.
"If given the amazing opportunity, I would want to win big games and tournaments with Nigeria. I would be excited to play a style of soccer that I grew up learning, thanks to my Dad who taught me so much about the game. If given the chance I would gladly become a Super Falcon and wear the color green with pride."
Payne was nominated for the Superliga Player of the Month for December following her impressive form for Las Rojiblancas since joining from Ajax this season.
She has made 18 Superliga appearances for Sevilla and scored five goals and two assists, including in last league game against Logrono.

Francisca Ordega: Nigerian seals China switch

Francisca Ordega moves to China after four years at United States' National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) side Washington Spirit
Nigeria international Francisca Ordega has become the latest African to move to the Chinese Women's Super League after signing for Shanghai W.F.C.
The forward, 25, has joined the Shanghai club for the 2019 season from United States' National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) side Washington Spirit, where she made 63 appearances in a four-year spell.
Ordega's deal was announced shortly after Thembi Kgatlana and her South African compatriot Linda Motlhalo also moved to China.
She scored twice to help Nigeria win a ninth Women's Africa Cup of Nations title in December and made the final three for Caf's women's Player of the Year award for 2018.
The much-travelled and vastly-experienced Ordega previously played in Russia and Sweden before moving to Washington Spirit in March 2015.
Back in December 2016, Ordega became the first African to play in the Australian Westfield W-League when she joined Sydney FC on loan.
The former Nigeria youth international also had another loan stint at Spanish club Atletico de Madrid Femenino in 2017.
She starred as her country secured an eighth Women's Africa Cup of Nations title in 2016.
Ordega, who has represented Nigeria at all international levels, has 34 caps for the Super Falcons and also boasts experience at two Fifa Women's World Cups in 2011 and 2015.
