For the record 📉

✅ 6 games unbeaten for the Super Falcons 🦅 now!

✅ FIRST African team to keep two cleansheets at the FIFA Women's World Cup

✅ First time going to the knockout stages UNBEATEN!

✅ FIRST time Nigeria is proceeding out of a group with a positive goal difference (+1)

There's a lot to be optimistic about going into this game.

Nigeria will win the World Cup.

I pray Laurent James won't tear us apart, as "HE' did to China.


Naija girls didn't do enough to win Ireland jor.

Should have won against Ireland to avoid this. Well they have reached their bus stop. It is time to come down. They tried their best...kudos to the falcons.

Jaybee3456:


In the world cup there's no easy opponents. Somehow some of us prefer England to Denmark because the girls would want to prove a point. We've faced lesser sides and became complacent in the past.

Wish Nigeria can change formation and play a 3-3-2-2


----------------------------------------------Nnadozie---------------------------------------------------


--------------Demehin---------------------Ohale--------------------Plumptre--------------------


----------------Ayinde---------------------Abiodun-------------------Ucheibe---------------------


-----------------------------Payne--------------------------Ajibade-------------------------------------


------------------------------Kanu--------------------------Oshoala------------------------------------


If anyone is fumbling upfront, Alozie can be brought in to play in Ajibade's position (maybe Alozie switching sides with Payne who is more two-footed), while Ajibade moves upfront to replace the fumbling striker.

Or even Alozie playing striker; but I like her ball carrying and defensive work though. Better at those than Ajibade, who might be a swifter striker than her.

It would be very hard for any female team to get past Ayinde, Ucheibe and Abiodun in defensive midfield. Those are some the 3 hardest workers one can come across playing women's football.

Those 3 defensive midfielders and the 3 centre backs would give us sufficient support defensively while freeing 3 to 4 plays to attack. This would end or ease our Park-the-bus football strategy for most of the game.

It will also end the constant isolation and do-it-on-your-own Oshoala has been facing. Kanu is a threat with her speed (not her touch though ).

Ohale and Plumptre can join Kanu, Oshoala & Ajibade in the box for headers during corner kicks and long free kicks. Ucheibe will sit outside box 18 for shots, while Ayinde, Demehin and Abiodun sit back to break counter attacks.

Ucheibe is our current best performing defensive-minded player, while Payne is our current best performing offensive-minded player.

BankyGee:

Abiodun is still on suspension tho...

Gamesmart:

No be one match ban?

Omo you don miss news wella be that o...

FIFA increased the one match ban to a THREE match ban! Imagine!

Before she play for us again na if we reach quarterfinals.

Gamesmart:


Wow!

No news report from the utterly useless Nigerian press to inform me.

I would have loved to see those three in front of defenders.

So, now, I would wish 3-4-1-2:

The English team is good no doubt, but they aren't as good as many are making it seem. If you watched their game against Australia prior to the world cup, and their first 2 games against Haiti and Denmark, you'll come to the same conclusion.

The China game is the outlier, cause they met a terrible team in China. Point is, they of course can beat us, but I wouldn't be surprised if we win. I understand the sentiments of playing one of the tournament's favourite and a highly ranked team, but it won't be a miracle if we beat them. They have one of the worst defense in the world cup.

Randy just needs to set the team up to exploit that.
