Nigeria 3 - Portugal 3

[Cellular]

Standing ovation for Super Falcons

[Enugu II]

Really exciting. I love the never give up spirit of the girls. They fought all the way despite the odds. Giving it up for the team!!!

[Bigpokey24]

WAY TO GO LADIES!!!

PROUD OF YOUR RESILIENCE.

look at the hypocrite . You've abused them all through out the game, only to show face when it is time to share small chops

You are not well.

I watch and comment.

When they are not playing well, I comment.

When they do well, I comment.

You on the other hand, need deliverance. I hope the people who did this to you no throw way the calabash or worse, burn am.

I have Jesus fire, nothing can touch me, however you are a flip flopper... support your team for 90 mins . People like you , i would have pushed you outside if this was a bar. Now you want to use style to sneak in and claim you were with the team for 90 mins straight .... let us hear word

[Bigpokey24]

this is for that clueless and short sighted cellular blasting the Falcons

[DIMKA76]

Ajibade should be off by now for they move

Another comment that didn't age well...

Put it in context dude, She literally lifted the Portugese player off the ball to try and gain possession, she was already on a yellow . Stop being a knitwit. Did you read the expression on the Naija coach's face? priceless!

The gratitious personal insult merely betrays your crude personal upbringing but does not change the REALITY that your comment did not age well and rather highlighted your cluelessness...smh

Did you read the expression on the Naija coach's face when she got the equalizer?!

Meanwhile do yourself a favor and grab a slice or two of this "priceless" culinary fare...

First, I didn't see Cellular's (similar) comments...
But it was actually a light-hearted reposte, until the crude dude got his panties all twisted in a bunch.

[Otitokoro]

That was Toni Payne, not Gift.

Heck of an assist by Gift Monday.

What an amazing game and experience today. Thoroughly enjoyed watching these girls represent Nigeria so proudly. It's easy to criticize when watching from the comfort of homes, but when you experience the heat and pressure, you give the players props.

I thought Ajibade was incredible. High energy, high skill, good decision-making.

Asisat is a top class talent. I enjoyed the way she received balls on her chest, not caring that 3 or 4 players surrounded her every time.

Alozie was a dynamo, and controlled the game all the way from right back.

I enjoyed the high IQ displayed by the tall right winger that played in the first half, I didn't get her name. Very graceful on the ball.

My girl, Esther Okoronkwo fought hard and held up the ball superbly when Asisat got hurt and had to be subbed.

Okeke was superb despite the own goal, and i enjoyed the authority she showed on the ball. Onome too.

Our keeper was our weakest link.

The girls won so many new fans for themselves today.

Was nice to see Ugbowo and his lovely kids.

I watched all of the second half and a little of the first. I have mixed feelings about this game. They showed some promise going forward and attempted to used their pace on the wings to good effect, mostly the right wing. Kudos to the girls for digging themselves out of a hole.

The defence is frail and our defenders are slow to react. They also need to work on maintaining possession, making the simple pass, and moving the ball quicker. Too many misplaced paces. We rarely attacked from the left wing in the 2nd half, and there were multiple occasions when runs by the left winger were ignored.

Ajibade deserved a red in that game. I like her tenacity, but her tackles are reckless. If we were playing a team with more grit, one of the opponents would have confronted her verbally or physically.

Listen fog brain. You took my comment out of context then you start your diatribe. I for one have never lliked your combative manner, quick to go into overdrive. You are caught up in an emotional furore and fail to grasp the context within which I made a comment. If the ref had given Ajibade a red what would you have said. The end in this case did not justify the means
Just shut it!

[Damunk]

Kai Ajibade hit post!!! damn.

I think her goal immediately afterwards no gree us celebrate that strike.
It was absolutely sublime and had it gone in, would easily rank alongside one of the most brilliant goal strikes of any Nigerian national team, male or female.
That was just awesome.

Ah got you. Thanks!

Agreed. She put some top spin on it too, keeper no see ball.

Gift assisted Toni who assisted the scorer.

Now give your take on Portugal.

(Let me mention that Portugal has never been and is nowhere in women's football; having watched them live more than 50 times the past 10 years.)

I actually expected more from the Portuguese considering that they held the highly-rated USWNT to just a goal loss. They played very well in transition, and I thought their forwards made a lot of good runs off the ball. The major lack for them is intensity and mental fortitude. They also lacked good finishing.
