Canada will face 36th-ranked Nigeria on Wednesday in a closed-door training match in Marbella, Spain, in the final tune-up for Bev Priestman’s team before it opens defence of its women’s soccer title at the Paris Olympics.

Canada will face 36th-ranked Nigeria on Wednesday in a closed-door training match in Marbella, Spain, in the final tune-up for Bev Priestman’s team before it opens defence of its women’s soccer title at the Paris Olympics.
Canada Soccer had previously announced the closed-door fixture but didn’t reveal the opponent until Monday.
The eighth-ranked Canadian women, who opened camp in Spain on July 4, edged No. 12 Australia 2-1 on Saturday in Marbella. That was a Tier 2 match that doesn’t count toward ranking or statistics, because there was no limit for substitutions or windows for subs.
Canada opens Group A play at the Olympics on July 25 against No. 28 New Zealand before facing No. 2 France on July 28, and No. 22 Colombia on July 31. Nigeria will play in Group C with No. 1 Spain, No. 7 Japan and No. 9 Brazil.
Canada has a 2-1-3 all-time record against Nigeria, drawing 0-0 when they met last summer at the FIFA World Cup in Australia.

I like this coach. He say’s the right things. Maybe he can double as SE coach.

Where is Danfo conductor; I have a question for you. Who came up with the name conductor bearing in mind that all you are doing is hanging by the door of a moving vehicle and collecting money. What in fact are you conducting ?
An orchestra leader is actually conducting something unlike you

I’m sure he would sleep over the idea if an offer is made to him especially given we can’t afford a real mens coach.

WOWO has reached a new level. They are now advocating a woman College coach that has never won a single strophy to be thyh new SE coach. Nigeria falcons finished 4th at Afcon after winning it 4 times in a row.
Winners do it the right way.

AN EXAMPLE OF...great communication between the interviewer and the one being interviewed. Questions were clear, concise and to the point; ditto the answers. This is why I've advocated that Nigerian coaches include public communication as part of their development.

Are you, perhaps, subliminally impressed by the fact that Randy Waldrum is a native English speaker?
What Nigeria and other African countries should do is develop their own languages so that Africans wouldn’t have to struggle with the burden of speaking a language that’s been forced on them
Cheers.

What are you talking about? Didn’t our journalist attend school or have done kind of degree? English is our official language. It’s not that our journalist can’t speak, most of them ask weird questions that makes you want to bury your head.
Cheers.

Re: Canadian women to play Nigeria on Wednesday (July 17) in closed-door training match ahead of Olympics
That match report was appalling. Was the writer a professional journalist? One had to read the whole article to decipher what the score was (which is not once mentioned in the article). If Canada
won the match, why was there a penalty shoot out?
