[@davidphilip8824]

Nice one from Super Falcons. Improvement is still needed in defence. Ebi should stop doing close back passes to avoid goals from Error when the world cup commences. Midfield also needs to be more concrete. Using the wings to create counter attacks is good but when the opponents have a stronger defense on their wings, it may not yield results.

Falcons need to do more work on their ground play and be more solid on the ball, US, Sweden, Brazil & Spain are really good teams to watch out for, they made some defensive mistakes that those teams will take advantage of. Any it was a good win but they can be better. I wish the falcon well

[@Oliver-zm2ho]

I will never understand why we play corners short, Foster can put a really good delivery into the box and currently it seems its the only way we can score, so infuriating. Its the same with the phoenix, most of the goals they score are from corners and they waste so many opportunities by playing the ball short.

NZ pressure improved in the last 15 minutes of the game. They don't have a strong enough Football base with a smaller population. It will be hard for them to get out of their group on this their momentous occasion of hosting the World Cup I hope they can spread the game to other communities more even the immigrants and and indigenous Maori. I am sure they can convince the rugby ladies to lace up for footie if the pay is right. We all know how dominate and tough the Kiwis are in rugger. Also learn from Australia...Fijians are also a Country that can turn their physicality and speed into awesome football if the Foot ball Association manage to generate interest for more players.

[@joejulian617]

According to you... "They can't play well because they have a small population"... Meanwhile, your country's team can never defeat them. If you have nothing to say, you better remain silent.

I don't understand your negative attitude to my comment. You need to keep your hatred and anger away from positive people. You seem like a very toxic human being.

Funny how NZ 'does not have enough people' to be competitive in soccer but it does have enough people to be a world power in rugby. it is clear that population size has little to do with it.

Coach search for local players in Nigeria,there are many who are strong and fast. They are some who are far better than oshola. Organise competition across the country, you will get viable and quality players.

[@adisboy2140]

Far better than Oshoala? Stop living in dream world. I have been watching the current NWFL season also recently Bayelsa Queens in last year's CAF Champions League and no striker is half the level of Oshoala or even Oparanozie. They have long way to go. The best local striker last season Gift Monday is already in this team & came on in the 2nd half. She is now based in Spain. Abeg talk wetin yon know not just anyhow. Yes, there are good local players but they lack exposure and the best ones are being transferred to Europe on almost a monthly basis. From the U20's Abiodun is on her way to the US, Demehin & Imoran have moved to France just last year (they both played 90 mins in this game). Please check your facts before posting.

Hello from the BIAFRAN land

[@brianwhetton9621]

Where are our defensive players; there appears to be only one with the goal keeper; we must stack the goalmouth ! why do we allow their offensive players to attack our half without any of ours putting in MAX effort to stop them. I would prefer us to boot the ball at their goal with max effort when within 15 - 20m of the goal; might score but there's the chance of rebounds; seems better than the dribbly attempts from headers or off balance kicks at goal; quite often their buildup is great only to be ruined by an intercepted pass. it's soul destroying to watch but good luck anyway.

[@fearghal10]

With women's football there's a pretty clear feedback loop: when people shit on it, there's little interest and support, fewer resources go into it, fewer girls get involved as kids and the quality stays low. However the opposite is also true, just look at what has happened at Barcelona over the last few years. That's why it's often more engaging than the top levels of men's football: the league itself is an underdog, and every year they build more profile, the standard of play rises to match it. Most teams have loads of local, homegrown players, and it's not just a bunch of oligarchs having a dick swinging contest with blood money (yet, it's probably coming).
