...oh well, goodnight, good morning, gaaday. Well done girls but, many questions of what ifs.

Messi always takes the first penalty. If you’re the best player you should be demanding to take the first PK

Damn...didn't know i would feel this sad...

Liverpool, European Champions 2005.
We watched this very boring video, 500 times, of Sacchi doing defensive drills, using sticks and without the ball, with Maldini, Baresi and Albertini. We used to think before then that if the other players are better, you have to lose. After that we learned anything is possible – you can beat better teams by using tactics." Jurgen Klopp

Nice try but no cigar. Bye folks, I’m out

Our substitutions could have been better, choice of penalty takers was atrocious too.
I’m glad Randy left a defensive foundation… now hoping for a better coach to take us to the next level.

Re: England 0-0 Nigeria: (FIFA Women World Cup )FT
I do not regret waking up this early to support the girls. They deserved my support and I am proud of them. 
Unfortunately, the same issues that plague our male teams, also plague our female teams. In football, you have to be very very clinical and take your chances when you get them. Any small gift you get, you must capitalize on it. Over and over again, we show up to big tournaments only to be knocked out and go home with moral victories. This game was there for the taking! Right there and we chose not to take it.

WELL DONE LADIES!
The lack of goal-scoring finally caught up with us…
But otherwise a worthy performance on the night.

Re: England 0-0 Nigeria: (FIFA Women World Cup )FT
I am so sorry yet proud for these wonderful girls. To get knocked out without losing a game in regulation time is unfair but that’s football. For all the off the field distractions, they did themselves proud. Let’s hope we are able to build on this.
God bless and keep Nigeria and make his face shine on her undeserving as she may be.

Re: England 0-0 Nigeria: (FIFA Women World Cup )FT
All i can say is Ohala is a boss. One of the most assured defensive performances i've seen in a long while.
We have been brainwashed by the Premier League that it's the best in the world. Nonsense. It's the best brand
Roy Keane: ITV 02/25/14
He says that we are currently "brainwashed" into believing that the Premier League is the best competition in the world, and that we are now a long way off dominating the Champions League again.
Gary Neville: Mirror: 12/23/14
I think Spain’s by far the best league.

Re: England 0-0 Nigeria: (FIFA Women World Cup )FT
Makes sense. We all fell in love with them. Take am easy bro. For me, once it got to penalties, I immediately prepared myself for a loss. 2 bars, 33 minutes one woman up? It was clear where this was going. I have watched football long enough to know when football has made its decision against you.

Well done to the girls given the limitation of their coach and the incompetence of the NFF….
They took the European champions to the cleaners
Despite not getting a clear cut penalty…..
Well done to the girls…. They must build in this.

Its not the loss per se...Its just the knowledge of what these girls have had to deal with over the years just to get a little bit of respect and consideration

Re: England 0-0 Nigeria: (FIFA Women World Cup )FT
We played the same way all through and did not put enough pressure on the England defence after the red card, it is disappointing
Proud of the Falcons they competed but in the end we needed to have more strings to our bow

lets also applaud Jette1, who stood by the Falcons from the beginning and supported them through the difficult times.
