This is a preview of the WWC...
African teams have been saddled with the rep of being “physical” and refs will call PKs more liberally.

Nice that they won but there are a lot of questions that need urgent answers... and btw, how does a ref justify 3 pks in one game, against the same team

Cheers.

Two pens in the space of 5 mins...
73rd and 76th min.

Better to understand now that our opponents go use wayo to getpenarity and we must be extra careful inside the box.

We must also learn to physical without giving away dumb fouls in critical areas.

Good lessons

how on earth does a team have complete command of a game by 3 zip at half time only to completely lose control like this
tufiakwa!!!
I'm sure there is no way these girls could be happy with this result even though they managed to escape another defeat. I can only imagine their almost heart attacks before the final whistle.
Next game is against Belgium and no more excuses. we need to see a disciplined approach even with a loss at least they would have given good account of selves

Perhaps the coach lacked ‘professionalism’

Are you sure it was a lack of professionalism? Why not the likelihood that the team demonstrates naivety?

This guy is very professional O! Does not roll on the floor like Okon, or kneel on the touchline like Omagbemi.

GrandUncle Jette. At this stage, it seems you actually go out and research what really happened, and you come on the forum to predict the opposite, just for laughs.

Also, the coach might just be losing his professionalism. Is that him looking like he wants to join the dance?

Also did NOT get the performance Omagbemi got from her "kneeling"!

A bad coach is a bad coach.

The Barcelona coach does kneel down and is professional, & can see a view at that horizontal level; you cannot see with your head on the ground.

Holland women's team trashed the Slovakia women's team 5-0 in 2019 world cup qualifying.

If it was Omagbemi/Chiejine coaching crew with the same lousy results what would you be saying?????

I see what you did there

One thing to note is that the goalie got a red card in the 5th minute. As a result the Falcons played with 10 players for 85+ minutes of the game. In addition, apart from playing one player short, it also meant that they had to use up a sub immediately in the 5th minute sacrificing Cecilia Nku to bring in the backup goalie.

The game was scoreless till half-time

I did not watch the game and cannot comment on how they played nor can i offer any useful comments on the coaching but the red card is a factor to keep in mind.

The Super Falcons of Nigeria lost 1-4 to their counterparts from Austria in their opening game of the Cyprus Women’s Cup played on Wednesday, February 27.
The Super Falcons last outing was a 4-1 to win 3rd place game at Meizhou's Four Nation Tournament held in China last January.

They lost 1-0 to Belgium today.

Oguleftie: and why exactly is that? Have you ascribed a position to me? I am neutral on the question regarding the merits of one particular coach versus another. I leave that debate to those who have strong opinions. I will support the Falcons regardless.

I love facts and present them. I leave it to others to provide astute analysis and postulate with their favorite assertions.

Here are some other facts: the Falcons are in a group of death at the world cup. Their team includes France, Norway and Korea Republic (the 3rd, 13th and 14th ranked teams in the world) with the FAlcons showing up at #39 on the FIFA ranking at present

While the #39 ranking may not be reflective of the Falcons true capability, it will be difficult to assert that they deserve better than a top 30 ranking on the basis of their performances. (Belgium and Austria are ranked #21 and #23 in the world while Slovakia is #45)

I remain hopeful that the current set of games against established countries will help them exit the group of death at the world cup - but it is a tall order.
