common sense is not really common. even if we did not reach quarter finals, the only team who managed to beat us “only at penalties” reached the finals. we beat australia as well and you can say it was just out of luck. do you copy ?
You are the one not using your common sense here because if you do, you will know the ranking is based on the stages each team reached and the total points they get in the tournament. If we didn't get a draw against England before they knocked us out on penalties, Morocco would have been ranked higher than us because they got six points in the group stage while Nigeria got 5 points.

That draw against England is the reason Nigeria is 10th out of the 16 teams that went to the round of 16.

The problem with the team was that
the attackers couldn't deliver, as they
failed to score in 3 matches.

On the other hand, their defense and
goalkeeper were top notch & very difficult
to penetrate.. ⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️

Unbeaten by both the European and
Olympic champions.

A very good showing👏👏👏👏

SUPER FALCONS WERE THE BEST TEAM IN THE TOURNAMENT.

That No 10 ranking is a JOKE, especially after what they did to England, the European champions.

The Super Falcons dominated them throughout the game, and hit the bar 2 or 3 times.

If they had beaten England, they would have reached the final and WON.

To call that team No 10 in the tournament is a FCKING INSULT.

Oga stop doing blind argument naa........you are embarrassing yourself.

The ranking was based on points and goal differences. Winner is 1st, runner up is 2nd winner 3rd place match is 3rd and so on.

Every team was ranked based on their point agg. Just like the premier league.

Nigeria got 6 points and placed 10th on the table clearly. So stop arguing what you don't know.......

Where's Osho sexy?
Her tournament performance was just there because of her injury, she knows that too. She even played very few minutes by her standards. I will excuse Oshoala cause of her injury but our strikers/attackers were just not very effective in the tournament.

Oshoala was not fully fit, at least according to what she said in her interview, the reason she was coming in from the bench. None of the other strikers was able to rise to the occasion, the very reason the team was not very effective in the final third.
If our attack was as effective as the midfield and defense, Nigeria could have gone farther than round of 16.

Played well against Canada with zero goals, outplayed Ireland with Zero goals. Outplayed very good English team with zero goals in regular time. In all the above three matches, lot of chances were created.

Overall, it was a very good team performance and big improvement

4th would be fair. behind spain, japan, sweden,
It's competition ranking not monthly ranking. Position 1-8 got automatically occupied by quaterfinalists. USA got 9th position with better pk shoot out when compared to Nigeria.
US lost to Sweden on penalties, 5-4

Na.

The USA has a better goal difference than Nigeria. They scored 4 and conceded 1 which is +3, Nigeria scored 3 and conceded 2 which is +1

lol.

Is not about to argue with Women but know how the ranking was done.

The stages each team reaches come first, then the points each team earned in all the games they played come second, then the goal difference comes third.

Nigeria and USA both have five points in the Group stage but the draw in the knockout round against England and Sweden where they were eliminated by penalties was counted as 1pt, making it six points for both Nigeria and the USA, Other teams who reached the round of 16 like Denmark and Morocco have six points in the group stage but due to goal difference, they were ranked below Nigeria and US.

Morocco would have been the highest-ranked African team in the 2023 Women's World Cup if England didn't beat Nigeria on penalties because of the six points they have group stage.
