Very healthy budget. Try getting an i7 with @ least 8 - 16GB ram.

Colombia have just created the biggest upset in the history of the women's World Cup. The 28 ranked team beat the 3rd ranked team in the world 2-0!

How to beat Australia:
1. Keep Dede in goal. Most people dont know that Whyte is shyte! She is worse than Dede.

2. Bring in Njoku, drop Chukwunonye and move Ohale to partner Onome Ebi. This should have been done at halftime against Sweden. Its a no brainer. You cannot play 3 at the back and leave the flanks exposed like that. Ohale was doing too much and it backfired.

3. Keep the midfield as it is. Okobi, Ayinde and Nwabuoku really tried. They held the midfield well, though the 3 at the back somehow disrupted things.

4. Start Esther Sunday ahead of Ordega against Australia. Why? Because Australia will be out to attack us, and Esther Sunday's runs and dribbles will be key, with Njoku also pushing forward, Australia will be on the backfoot for most of the match.

5. Make substitutions!!!!! For heaven sake, this is artificial turf, the girls will cramp badly if they all play another 90 minutes. Dike, Ini, and even Nkwocha are all ripe to come in.

6. Zonal marking! I know the coach is naive and thus is adamant on man marking, even when height is not to our advantage. Watch Sweden's first goal and see how Fisher sold Ayinde to get a header. We simply cannot do man marking. Let the players have a zone to mark, so they can attack the ball before it gets to the opponent. This will be key against Wambach of USA when the match comes.

7. Players should try to get at the referee. Often times Nigeria gets bad refereeing because of bad perception, but yesterday, We had only 4 fouls all game, against 14 fouls of Sweden. This is even despite leniency of ref towards Swedes. They got no yellowcards. This must stop! Let our players call attention of refs where needed.

8. Relax and know that Australia cannot beat Nigeria. I mean if you do not lose against Sweden, and put in better performance, you will surely beat Australia

First off id like to apologize to Ohale cuz she was trying and it is not her fault the coach played her out of position. All around my women were on fire all 90 minutes even at 2-0 they were the better team they should shon that ranking mess because from what i see they are one of the best teams there, they can beat the USWNT.
Also id like to apologize for my comments about Okon even though he is as equipped to handle this team as Nigeria with nuclear weapons he made a genius call in playing Oshoala in the midfield with her there we commanded the game, she is so fast she will always find her way to score and she is so strong those physically imposing Sweden women seemed more like girls the way they bounced off of her.

All together great game but it can and will be better. Okobi was sent from God to assist Oshoala in blessing Nigeria dam that girl is good, i know all my guys go be like na me go marry am me i no mind just allow her play good ball lol.

On a side note our jersey is hideous the NFF signed a slave deal with Nike even highschool teams get better stuff than that and they didn't even have the Sweden Nigeria flag on ours so na to wash am wear against Australia. Either way na win o.

Firstly I want to congratulate everyone for our good showing yesterday,I am passionate about our female team as so many of us on this thread.I want to point out a few things about the differences in opinions on the coaching input in the game last night.
I still stand by what I said,Okon shouldn’t have gone 90+mins without a single substitution when it was obvious we needed fresh legs.Someone mentioned that as long as we weren’t at risk of injuries he should allow the game go on.I find that ludicrous,do you know there are freak injuries? They just happen out of the blues,even when you are not tackled.Okon risked our starting 11 burning out and getting injured or even getting carded.The major reason for injuries can be fatigue and poor fitness,When a player is tired,judgement becomes impaired and decision making is very poor,you dive into tackles indiscriminately.
I am not a fan of Njoku,but using a traditional centre back as a full back didn’t pay off last night and Okon should have corrected that immediately when it became glaring.Please don’t say Ohale grew into the role,we all saw we got punished severally due to her weakness,and against a disciplined side one goal margin is good enough to send you packing from the tournament.
Do you know Okon sent out a message to opposition coaches last night,they are;
• I don’t have confidence in my bench,cos’ they aren’t up to scratch
• I don’t have a clue on how to influence a game.
Its funny when I hear Ordega,Desire and Oshoala are the best players we got and so changing them is not an option as making changes would have upset the ryhtm of the game.So when we play Australia,and the game gets tough(as I am sure it will),we should stick to the same starting 11 for the full 90mins,same for the USA tie too?
Watching the game I couldn’t tell what Okon wanted,did he want a win or a draw? When we equalised,he could have injected fresh legs into the game.Psychologically that move alone sends shivers down the opposition cos’ they know you have smelt blood and you are going for the kill.Or if he wanted a draw there was no better time to run down the clock by embarking on three needless substitutions all at once.
The national teams belong to all of us,its our pride and the coach is privileged to hold the position of responsibility.Okon is a wonderful coach and his eye for talent is unparalleled,but if we must progress then he has to focus on his flaws too and work on them.Technically he can and should do better,or better still align himself with coaches that are more technically gifted.
In one of my earlier posts,I recall saying that Ngozi “Iniesta” Okobi will be our stand out performer at the mundial and I was proven right yesterday.That girl will set this competition on fire!!,but Okon shouldn’t let her burn out.
The mystery of unpredictability has won many games for many a team,I also recall saying after I saw the team list last night that the game could very well be won from the bench,and I believe that with the right changes Perpetua/Dike/Njoku/Ini,we just very well may have nicked it.
Shout out to all my friends here,we agree to disagree.Iron sharpeneth iron.

TheSuperNerd:
Wow! Thanks Sir... You've said it all. I guess I just didn't hv d guts to be dis blunt but u're spot on. Courtney is really good but compared to our 1st choice front 3? Well uhm... We all knw rite? But still I expect to see her impact...
Umotong plays 4 portsmouth ladies in d english women premier league(wpl 1) northern (or southern) conference. That's 2 divisions below the english women super league 1(wsl 1) where Oshoala stars 4 english champs, liverpool lfc. After wsl1 is d wsl2. Then u hv d wpl1 and wpl2. Taking nothing 4m umotong(she bagged ova 20gls b4 joining camp 4 d fifa wwc) but she's still a learner compared to
Courtney not to mention our top 3.

But all in all, it's a great team with players dat can and will get better coz they're all young save 4 Nkwocha, Dede, Ebi, and Nwabuoku.
And u're rite abt Ohale, she's indeed a center back.
Whyte is obviously our best gk but I wanna beliv dede's height and experience(yep, I know... Dis can be overrated sumtyms) gave her the starting spot. Anyway, I beliv Whyte wud get to feature soon, maybe vs U.S.A.
Nice analysis Sir. Welcome to the house.

Aint trying to be an alarmist,but looking at the pics closely,who noticed that it's only superzee that isnt fully dressed for training..look at her training with Perpetua..with so much on social media bout our very Oshoala i hope all is well with her...i rest my case.
i hope she hasnt picked up an injury that the team is keeping under wraps,,dat will be a blow!!... see her lagging behind while jogging...hmmmm

LeeCodeman:
If the poster is doing a good job, why have you as a moderator not encouraged him by moving this great thread to frontpage or at least put it at the top of the sports page?

Which do you want? Sticky the thread, front page it or both?

CFCfan:
Wow! I hope UEFA would approve this plan. It sure sounds like an exciting prospect. The Super cup should be scrapped to make way for this game.

Rocktation:
Guys, I really need a website or two, from where I can download .srt files for Hindi TV Serials...specifically the rave Punar Vivah (Remarriage) or Married Again, as Zeetv terms it these days.
I have surfed and surfed and seem to have exhausted all of my search skills, but there is no way I'm believing that they don't exist.

In essence please, I need either a website to download Hindi tv series' .srt files, or one to download Hindi serials with English audio or please just tell me your method(s) for extracting and downloading embedded English subtitles from youtube videos.

ThanksInAdvance.
