forgiveness: That is where the problem is. The concept of VAR is good. But its inconsistent applications , couple with bad officiating is the issue. And that is why most of the African countries are angry, cos they are the worst it by this unfortunate situation at the women world cup. FIFA was busy doing massive PR to promote the Women world cup and they entirely ignored the officiating aspect which has been historically bad, even before VAR came in. The men's world cup had its own VAR issue, but it wasn't as worse as this. I think the problem here generally is bad officiating and the inconsistent applications of the rules, and wrong interpretation of the rule sometimes. An example was the indirect freekick in the box against Cameroon that resulted into the first of England. That was clearly not a back pass, and in a men's game, the referee won't even rule that as a foul. It was Cameroon overall behavior in that game, that made people to forget that aspect in that match, and allow the referee to somehow get a pass at the bad job she did , in that game. So if FIFA wants us to take women's game serious, they should also work on the officiating, the way the do for the men's game, cos that is the only aspect that refuse to improve 1 Like |

So Football has become 2+2=4?! LMAO! Because Mali could not beat Burundi and we did it, thus we are superior to the Malians?! All the Goals they scored are lightweight?! We should be more focused on our chances and Tactics instead of raising our Expectations to the extent we won't be able to control it when/if we are disappointed. Some Dudes are already proclaiming our Squad as the best in the Tournament and kinda unbeatable. Surprisingly, the Crew Leader is someone who is very much emotional and can make U-Turn at a slight Opportunity. We should be analyzing the Formation, Tactics, Strength and Weakness of the Teams that are likely to pose threat to us, rather than underestimating their Capabilities. 7 Likes 3 Shares |

Bolowolowo: Watching the USA/ Spain women match last night it is obvious that VAR is becoming a mess and needs a rethink of how and when to use it. Over 5 minutes to sort out a penalty decision is way too long.( And they still came to the wrong decision). |

Barryseal: I think say na only me notice am o. USA second penalty wasn't a penalty, as there was no contact. Na just simulation by the USA player. The purpose of VAR is to prevent wrong calls by providing a video review. Yet the referee still blind and didn't see that the lady fell down easily after loosing the ball. The officiating is just awful in this tournament. With all the hype in the women's world cup, the bad officiating is just taking away the shine |

timay: I think female footballers and even coaches have gotten better but female officials have not improved. I recall a particular premiership game where a female linesman made a mess of many decisions. Not that we don't have incompetent male officials, but the are much more in number among the female folks. |

Barryseal: Yea you are right. The incompetent and clueless Female referee are overwhelmingly much than the competent ones. That is why the German Bundesliga are trying to train a lot of them by even allowing them to officiate some Men's game. .FIFA has surprisingly not be doing enough for the female referees in terms of Improving them. I hope this tournament serves as a reality check for FIFA concerning the female referees 1 Like |

gustav25: Lol. If you were a real Ghanaian I would've taken time to engage you in a debate to compare Nigerian and Ghanaian football. But since you're just an unemployed Igbo man desperately seeking attention on a faceless forum as a way to assuage his ego long damaged by the harsh economic realities of the land, I'll just pass. A bit of advice for you Sir, go find yourself some sort of employment. Or look for another place to channel your frustration to please, we are not responsible for your condition. 5 Likes |

Nigeria vs Guinea: Pre-match Conference Rohr on Akpeyi: Akpeyi started as No. 1 because Ezenwa had an injury in camp in Asaba & Akpeyi did well in the friendlies. Uzoho is No.3 & now that Ezenwa is back we have a tough decision to make ahead of the game. AkpeyiDaniel performed well against Burundi. 6 Likes |
