Morocco(5) 1 vs Nigeria(4) 1 FT

[jette1]

Did you even watch the game?

Our keeper made a lot of right decisions regards the directions of the penalties but those Moroccans played those things like Germans and Italians

Which kind right decision
She is the reason we lost

Yes, on 3 different screens for that matter because I had to tune off the stupid Nigerian woman on commentary;
Chiamaka was not herself today, how many times did she spill the ball ? And she looked more like uzoho on the goal scored against us to equalize

[olu]

It wasn't her best game, however, she is still a quality keeper. It's ok give the opposition credit when they deserve it. Morocco is a quality team though they are not clinical.

Dude, they all deserve our praise.

Chiamaka isn't good enough
And why the heck did the coach leave Onumonu to take the PK? She was gassed out long before extra time!

Anyway very valiant effort by the girls, this Moroccan team is very average I won't lie.

We beat ourselves tonight...
Because Morocco only looked a "quality team" when we went down to 9 players.

Based on what I saw of her today, she is NOT good at all. Maybe she will do better in another day and convince me today was a bad day in the office for her

Exactly! Otherwise, we pocketed and was playing them half-field all game, except for the first 10 minutes of the first half, or so

KPOM!!

She's head and shoulder our BEST GK and one of the BEST in the continent...
She is also one of the BEST in France, if we are to go by the GK's award she won this past season.

Conceding barely 1 goal in 4 tournament games is hardly disastrous! SMH

Even so, they were still not good enough to score in regulation time. We had to drag them to extra time, then to shoot-out and eventually they won

[theYemster]

The girl who missed the pk, why stand that close to the ball only to place it to the goalie's near side? It takes really special players to do that, and you're not that. Step back and give yourself a better chance.

Then what happened to her today? I thought with all her nervousness and jittering, she will redeem herself during the penalty shoot-out to prove a point to people like me who never saw her in the past, or in other games.

[chopachop]

They did their best for us. They made us proud.

They did very well. I am proud of them

They didn't do very well. what did they do in the first half when it was 11 against 11.
The moroccans were utter rubbish and to think somebody talked about their slick passing
and off-ball movement. Their shooting and passing was attrocius. It is really scary to think
such a team made it to the finals and will be going to the WC. God bless Africa at the WC.
Heavy touches and passing, Shooting and defence splitting passes of all the teams is so bad
hence the reason for the low scoring matches. Low football IQ, poor reading of the game
It would seem most teams are scoring by chance rather than through coordinated play.
There are some here trying to compare the falcons to the male team and asking for parity.
It is like comparing night and day. Even as a neutral I find watching the Wafcon so hard because
of the elementary school kid errors. It is really not for the faint hearted to watch.

[jette1]

It’s not about any these; the Ref basically killed off a good game. If you look R any tackle on VAR it’s going to look worse that it actually is

Ok, but we sent you (Cameroon) into play offs mess You should be concerned of the team you will play next to make it to Australia/New Zealand

They were worst than even Togo when playing with a 2 player advantage, It wonders
me how some people watch matches whether they do under the influence. I lost track
of the number of times the moroccans gave the ball away with no nigerian player within
3 meters. Most of their play was n the left side, they are so clueless switching play and
stretching the falcons.

[Odas]

From your point, Jette1, would you say the referee is NOT experienced enough to official this level of game?

[Odas]

Oh well! Goodnight, folks

If you say they are a quality team then I don't know what quality means.
Go and rewatch the match and count the number of misplaced passes under
no pressure at all with the nearest nigerian player being miles a way. Lets
not even talk about their shooting, just like every other team atrocius to say the
least.

[chopachop]

Onumonu fall hand ooo


Cheers.

She worked hard during the game. Yes she could have taken a better pk. Nice effort by the team though. South Africa will crush Morocco.

SA, I thought they were good, they might pass the ball better than other
teams but clueless also in the final third hence the reason that they have not
been scoring. Zambia was the better team and were outdone by that fake penalty
decision in the dying minute, well the Caf president was watching and they were just
making sure he left happy.

[1naija]

So you did not see all the saves she made to keep us in the game? We were unlucky not to win the game even with 9 women. If Gift's shot that hit the bar had gone in, on one would be questioning her performance.

[chopachop]

That said - some harsh truths regarding the red cards.

Ayinde is a bloody angel* for that red card. That incident was disgraceful. There is no excuse for that shiite.

Ajibade - dear Lord. That was a reckless tackle. The Moroccan player milked it but we would have been screaming for a red if it was on a Nigerian player.

We have no one to blame for the reds but ourselves. Poor decision making.

Waoh what an honest and objective Naijaman.
Most just support blindly and don't even look at the play so far
as the team wins no problem, they are world beaters only to complain
when the team losses to a better opposition the next game. Really shortsighted.

Go and check all my threads even when the won, I have been critical of the Cameroon
team and the coach from the first right till they rightfully lost to the falcons. I hold
the Falcons and the Lioness at a higher standard because they are supposed to be a
class or two above the other teams with a shallow Wafcon history. The Falcons are just
marginally better and went unpunished in this WAfcon because the opposition was rubbish
at the WC that won't be the case.

[chopachop]

I am African and want all the African reoresentative to do well at the WC, If Cameroon
doesn't qualify it doesn't bother me because I know they didn't qualify because they weren't
good.

First, objectivity is MEANINGLESS drivel in SUBJECTIVE matters like football performance...

Nonetheless, while the 2 red cards are an objective fact...
Whether they were "deserved" is however a SUBJECTIVE opinion (and I personally think they were).

Finally, CE is THANKFULLY not an echo chamber and is ENRICHED by the diversity of opinions...
Just because you hold DIFFERENT OPINIONS from others doesn't make yours objective/honest nor theirs subjective/dishonest.
