Nigeria vs Canada 3:1 (Onyenezide x2)

[sabb]

Ko gbu do ja de! I like this coach.

[Gotti]

Our left back is probably our best player so far in this tournament

Definitely our most consistent performer…

[solo]

This team lacked match experience, it reflected in their touches and movements, but they're winning

[Odas]

My only fear with this team is that they'll crumble when they face better competition. 88mins and 2-1 up, I'm yet to see them tighten things up at the back and MF. They're still playing a wide open game. Coach dey try sha.

what do you mean by better competition? you mean the teams they played are not good because we won?

Emir,

Where are you? Please ansa de kwesion

[1naija]

Well Done Falconets

Where’s Big Pokey to update the score?

[mcal]

Damn, it's almost 5am in Nigeria. Na wa-ooo! This game is played very late for some of us

...no work, national holiday

[mystic]

3 wins out of 3. On to the Quaterfinals. Congrats young ladies!

[Odas]

South Korea and France are not good teams because we beat them abi? Joblessness eh!

Exactly what I was going to ask. I guess he is deeply sleeping right now

[Thunder]

You mean in this game so far? Should we disregard the two clean sheets again France and South Korea?

This our keeper na wah.

For me, the only weak point on the team!

1Naija, truly if she’s good enough for the coach, she’s good enough for me.

[Tobi17]

Coach Danjuma should be knighted, this makes me believe in OUR OWN once again, we can surely get it right when we invest in the right coaching personnel and structure in our home scene.

Congrats to the girls

Undoubtedly she had a great game vs Korea, but those handling errors vs France were howlers. Some blamed the rain but her problem pass rain.
Maybe that’s why people had a siddon look first approach to her second game.
I never see this Canada game but this one wey una dey shout sotay una wake me from sleep, mean to say she don develop dropsy again.
Na wa o….

Nigeria will win the tournament. I haven't seen any team better than them yet.

not if the keeper has anything to say about it, Japan will test her for sure but yes not much left other than Japan.

I think all teams will be trying our keeper from afar form now. They already know she is NOT good

So, you pair of agbayas, odas and futcha, have nothing better to do than berate a kid who just navigated the group stages of the u20 World Cup, conceding just one fortuitous goal. Shame on you both


Cheers.

I forgot about the game and went to sleep. Only to hear screaming coming from Cybereagles. So I woke up in panic to realise our keeper don begin cause alarm again.
All the time, believing the game ended 2-1 from the thread title.
Next thing to my pleasant surprise, reading the end of the thread, they scored a third goal like say I dey watch am live.
Me sef begin shout for early mormor as people begin prepare for work.

Meanwhile game don end since.
Congrats to the girls.
I don upgrade score with all happiness.

Well done Falconets.
I watched most of the Japan / US game and Japan is the only team I would consider a real threat to our side.
The French look good too, but we’ve already done them.

To be fair, this is one of the most competitive first rounds of a tournament. Group D was the weakest group with Ghana and US not quite up to the standards of the rest. Costa Rica were also out of their depth. Everyone else could beat anyone else.

So Sunday against the Dutch is not a done deal but I like our chances.

Anyone has the youtube video of our third goal?

That was a classic goal. The way the lady that crossed the ball was holding her run not to be offside, the inch perfect cross that left the Canada GK stranded and the perfect tap in by the goal scorer!

I watched every second of this game and Coach Danjuma isn’t after all the gem everyone assumed he was. I mean this was the worst game falconers played so far from beginning to end.
With nothing to lose and Canada already out of competition I expected a lot more from the coach than what I saw. And I emphasize the coach because he lacked proper philosophy and leadership to this particular outing. One would think that the team would have come out poised and relaxed with crisp simple command of compact cohesive movement instead we saw a disorganized back, disorganized goal keeping and uncoordinated final third. The midfield and wings were the only momentary flashes. Yes we tend to be blinded to the realities anytime we win. And please go back and watch our game against France - I mean that was a mastery and difficult game that we approached with utmost controls in every department except of course the usual suspect - goalie. Canada with such a weak team could have given us nothing short of a practice game yet we lacked leadership and motivation. Thanks to the ref we would have ended up playing Japan.

OK, BUT...


...did you see Dutch? The most impressive in the tournament, in my humble opinion. Their left winger has good ball skills.

No doubt one of the best sides in the tournament. But I’d say behind Japan and probably behind Nigeria and Colombia.

But yeah, very good side and wide open tournament. I just don’t know that anyone can live with the possession and movement of the Japanese.
