NIGERIA FALCONS 0 VS 1 SPAIN OLYMPICS 2024 full time

[jungle-jawara]

We played very well yes, we missed clear chances and paid for silly undisciplined egotistical behavior by Demeni needlessly pushing a player she already dominated, why !why !why !why !why!

Played very well? You must have not watched the first half. We played like the only chance we had was to defend and then look for a counter. When we got to the counter, we couldn't do nada. The best time we had in the match was when number 18 came in (I'm not saying she changed the game, but the info given to Asisat by coach on the touchline seemed to create a positive change

[davidbam14]

We do need to talk about missed placed passes and bad ball control. One ex-south African player said this is the worst super falcons team she has seen, poor ball control and lack of movement.

[fabio]

We lacked ambition & believe.

You mean Randy didn't coach 'ambition & believe' to the players?

They didn't play like a team that believes they could win.

Study how Randy sets out the falcons to play......

[jungle-jawara]

Our performance reminds me of the later part of the second half against Argentina in 2018. We just kept offering up the ball to them until they made the most of it


Cheers.

Reminds me of our match against England in the 2002 world cup

That's Randy formation.

But we created multiple 1v1 chances in the game so how can you say that we didn't counterattack effectively?

Multiple?!
Dude, created a grand total of two 1v1s - Ajibade (1H) and Ihezuo (2H).

And Asisat?

That's enough chances to get a result in international football.

The Asisat breakaway from halfway line was no 1v1…
Game was basically like an attack-vs-defense scrimmage, and kudos to the ladies for working their socks off!

We had 4 1v1s in the game including the Asisat breakaway. The problem was not our tactical setup.
Yes we lived dangerously the entire game as you would expect.

But the approach got us 4 first class chances.

That's how you assess a game irrespective of who the manager is.

Randy has brought in solid defensive organization... The best defensive display of any Nigerian football team.

In fact you must not be aware we are playing Spain not Cameroon

I expect us to win. I understand, everyone mindset is different.

There may be issues with Randy's formation/tactics, but when players struggle to control the ball and the calmness to pick the right pass then you're got big problems.

Imagine watching a game and not having an expectation to win. I will never understand folks who are just happy with participation.

Your experience and our expectation is irrelevant. What is relevant is the expectation of the players and their efforts to match such.

I agree but when we put in a good defensive display and then lose by a goal whats the point.

[1naija]

Our forwards lacked killer instincts. We should have buried at least 2 of the chances we got.

So are you saying we can't have a go at Spain because they are the world champions????

Thinking about it if Zambia had Naija style defence and Naija had Zambia's attacks or just say Banda then both African teams win today.

There is no team in the world today that plays openly against Spain

[packerland]

The USA is currently beating Germany 3-1. We have a long way to go. Emma Hayes the US coach makes $1.6M a year. She is allowed to select her assistants and no interference on players selection, and her team consistently play friendly games.

The forwards let us down with their finishing and we allowed Spain a little bit more freedom on the ball but the girls try sha. The days of the Falcons losing 4-1 and 7-1 are long gone. We need to convert these slim losses and draws to wins.

Who picked the players? And why don’t they similarly “struggle” in their respective clubs?!
We’ve played 6 games at the WC and Olympics under Coach Randy, and scored in only ONE game.
