FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023

Nigeria Super Falcons facing the Lioness of England in the round of 16. With England being the favorite in this encounter doesn't mean the Falcons would just lose the game like that. I feel this isn't going to be easy for the Lioness because I see the Lioness underrating the Falcons but I'll tell you for free that this game will bring the best of the Super Falcons that we haven't seen since the beginning of this tournament, the Lioness may have the best players but I assure you that the Falcons will use this game to shock the world, IMO is a win for Nigeria.

I had a whole lot of optimism ahead of the game, but I really can't say I feel the same way with Asisat Oshoala being left on the bench yet again, and Onumonu starting ahead of her, she'll likely be on the flank and Uchenna Kanu playing upfront as the lone striker, and meanwhile England have opted for a more dynamic formation with their 3-4-2-1, defending with 5 players and also get to extra bodies up the flank when in possession.

I believe England are playing to mitigate Nigeria's midfield efficiency, and I think the coach needs a striker like Oshoala that would put the English team on their toes and disrupt their game style, I really have not been impressed by Onumonu's performance so in this tournament, whether on the flank or as the striker, she's lack quality touches and decision make instinct, unlike Oshoala who seemed to have a very terrific partnership with Rasheedat Ajibade and other supply from the midfield.

 With the way the super falcons are dominating the game, there's a possibility that the game might end in their favor because I don't really see what the Lionesses are playing. Nigeria has made five goal attempts and one on target while the English have nothing.
So far, Lauren James has been kept quiet by the midfield and defense, especially the midfield and I hope for it to remain that way because she is another tricky individual who doesn't take mistakes from the opponents lightly. A great finisher, it would be deadly to keep her on the loose.

In less than 5 minutes from now, England  and Nigeria lock horns in the bid to get into the quarter finals, and with so many surprising results coming from this competition already,  I honestly  see Nigeria ( the super falcons) 🇳🇬  getting passed the "The Lionesses 🇬🇧 " because women's football seems to favor the underdogs and they want it more!
Though the last 16 has seen the bigger teams pulling the big results... But Nigeria seems to be the best African team out there and they want to carry this flag for them which should be enough motivation for them and I would like to see them beat the over hyped English team to make history!

Serious that's how it seems and the England team are always over hyped I just don't know why they get to feel satisfied with that. Is a strategy or something that makes them feel motivated? Even the 3 Lions do get that, that's why they have player who are over hyped but play less.
The Falcons are really keeping it cool and making the Lioness play less than they played in their last game.

Prediction: England 🇬🇧 0-1 Nigeria 🇳🇬

That's what I'm expecting, one goal and it's over for the Lioness.

The Nigerian national team coach Randy Waldrum seems to good tactician. It is quite obvious that Lauren James is the powerhouse of the English side, sihe had assigned Halimatu Ayinde, and Chiamaka Nnadozie to curtail her excesses. The Nigerian team has hit the crossbar twice and they are dangerous in the attack. I don't know how long the Nigerian team can keep up this positive momentum because the English team shouldn't be underrated. They can capitalize on any blunder to punish the Super Falcons. If the Nigerian team can get a goal first in this match, then they will have the deserved advantage. But for now, the Nigerian girls have exceeded the expectation of many people. I just told my friend that even if the Falcons finally lose this game, they have made an impact in this world cup.

I support you on this my friend, Nigeria is my preference on this but the England team should not be underestimated too as they are always on fire on the pitch as well. As things are now, they are dominating the Nigerian team in possessions but it's still good that the African side is holding them tightly, there is no way to score for pn both sides now and it's already the 59th minute. If the Nigerian team could not score, let them hold the defence tightly and try their luck with the penalty. This is because, with the pressure the England team are now mounting, it could be dangerous if they relax. Who knows, the penalty shoutout might favour them.

Am looking at these stats and wondering how England has better looking statistics  but from what am seeing on the screen, Nigeria has looked more threatening in front of goal and generally looked more hungry to win this game..are we going to be getting a goal in normal time, I don't think so, penalties could be the decider here as the game isn't presenting any chances in open play...

England is showing a sense of desperation which is forcing them to make mistakes and not allowing  themselves to play freely...if Nigeria can capitalize on this we could get a result 😉 in their favor  .

***Oh Boy Daly of England almost got a goal, the game is alive ***

I'm very impressed by the Super Falcons performance so far, they've played so very well and limited England best players while creating decent chances of their own, and the introduction of Oshoala now should help them create even better opportunities, and she's very calm and composed on the ball, and another player that I would commend so far is Ayinde, she has comfortably kept Lauren James at bay, and making almost every touch on the impossible for her to make any decent decision so far.

Today against England, Nigeria continues to play brilliantly with neither team scoring until the last minute. There was enough fighting between the two teams and one of England's players was sent off with a red card which is very unfortunate for England. However, after 90 minutes of play, now the lost time has been given but the attack is still going on between the two teams as before. I am watching the game, two teams are really playing great game, looking at their attacks, it is impossible to say for sure which team will be confirmed in the quarter finals today. Since no goal has been scored yet, it cannot be said for sure which team will advance to the quarter finals if Penalty shootout is at the end of the lost time. But today's match is really a great fight between the two teams as England Women vs Nigeria Women is a tight battle between the two teams. Both the teams are attacking enough but their attacks are not succeeding today the winner will go to the quarter finals and the loser will be out, and in this situation both the teams are fighting exceptionally to win.

This tie would now have to be settled from the 12 yards out, I believe the England are the favorites as far as the penalty is concerned but then still, it's a game of luck and I think the Nigeria goalkeeper is quite impressive having saved one already in the opening fixture against Canada, so she be able to make some attempts at saving one or two, but then it's the Nigeria penalty takers, I can't be so confident in, fingers crossed btw!

[Majestic-milf]

 Fatigue has finally caught up with Alozie and this has cost her. First, the goal that she missed in the 98' and then the penalty. I'm all, it was a good game and I must say Nigeria performed better than England and they know it. Even though the falcons were not able to qualify, at least they were a worthy match.

Sadly the super falcons has been terminated by the lionesses despite a one man down in the person of Lauren James in an unprofessional behavior that landed her a red card. Despite England having the victory at the end, I won't hesitate to point out that Lauren's behavior did put her team's victory at risk giving their opponent a high momentum at her absence on the pitch.

I never thought the game was gonna extend to 120mins as many of us football fans were nursing the prediction of England starting to lead from the first half but the super falcons fought harder than expected Showing great tenacity, wonderful tactics and clinical tackles with their goalkeeper helping to save the game to extra time.
Congrats to the England women's team.

The women from England also play good soccer, not only in the Premier League plays the best men in the world. Today the women from england had a luck, but nice to see that they are in the next round. In the stadium today were 50,000 people to see the game, that is a lot. I have also seen a few games and that was not the case in the past. Now currently Australia plays against Denmark and I also watch this in tv. A few moves in the tournament are strange from teams like morocco or zambia.

Women football players from every country is doing their best. Today's match is something big for both the teams. The tough fight ended with the penalty shootout. The performance throughout the match showed both the teams no down to the other team based on the statistics of the match. With this one more African team on the list qualified for the knockout have gone.

In the Australia vs Denmark match, from the beginning te dominance of Australia was seen and finally a win with 2 goals during the 29^th and 70^th minute have confirmed their spot into the quarter finals.

[Bitcoin_people]

Australia women's team attacked well from the start in Denmark vs Australia match and in the last minute they won 0-2. Between the two teams, we know that the Australian women's players know how to attack exceptionally well and they fought back in the last minute to win against Denmark. Although Australia scored a goal in the first half of the game Denmark women's team had chances to score but they were unable to attack with Australia, and Australia scored another goal later in the second half to put Denmark under pressure. And Denmark could not score any more goals and level the game due to which they were not selected for the quarter-finals and had to be eliminated. Australia's women's team qualified for the quarter-finals with a huge 0-2 win and they were jubilant at the end of the game.

[rdluffy]

The England match is paying just 1.32 odds for a win, but the Australia match is at 1.96 odds
I think I'll just bet on Australia tomorrow

Hehe, I'm pretty happy because I won a bet with 1.96 odds 
Finally I'm in profit again after some losses in group stage

So far I got 5 right guesses and 1 wrong (USA vs Sweden) in the round of 16

I believe France will win against Morocco. Jamaica vs Colombia maybe is the most balanced match, but I think Jamaica is more prepared, the team managed to hold 2 draws against France and Brazil.

Maybe this edition of world cup will have a new champion, I'm surprised with some results, I didn't expect to see USA out of quarter-finals at least. And I didn't expect New Zealand, Brazil, Canada and Germany out of round of 16.

England progressing was not easy, but I see them as top favorites to win trophy, especially after seeing USA out
Nigeria was great in overtime and lost their chances to progress there, missed first two penalties just added to that

Australia won easily against Denmark, and France will be tough in potential QF
Jamaica has Colombia and winner will face England, which should mark the end for both teams

[rojan]

I didn't expect Denmark to perform so badly in today's Australia vs Denmark match. Denmark didn't score any goal in this match. I thought Denmark might play well in this match and win the match. But Denmark team's goal keeper played very bad because of which Denmark lost the match by 2 goals.  Australia team won this match by scoring 2 goals.C. Foord scored the first goal in the 29th minute and H. Raso scored the 2nd goal in the 70th minute to win the match. The performance of the Australia team was very good from the beginning to the end of the game.

[Sithara007]

Only two more matches to go in the round of 16, and after that we will know about the quarter-final lineup. The last remaining matches are between Colombia and Jamaica, and between Morocco and France. Colombia are the favorites, but Jamaica is known for upset wins. And also, Colombia lost out against Morocco in the group stage. Quite a few exciting matches are coming up in the QF phase. The first one between Spain and Netherlands is going to be very close. Another interesting one is between Japan and Sweden. Japan has performed exceptionally well till now.

Nigeria vs England
The match between Nigeria vs England in the Round of Sixteen was a tightly contested match. The Nigeria vs England Women's match was a goalless draw at full time.  Despite a tough competition between the two teams, England eventually won against Nigeria through penalties.  England confirmed the Super Eight by defeating Nigeria on penalties with a margin of 4-2 goals. 

I was a Nigerian supporter in today's match but unfortunately the team I support lost in the tiebreaker. A win against England today would have ensured Nigeria a place in the quarter finals as an African nation but unfortunately they lost on penalties. Congratulations to Nigeria for losing against England but fighting hard and then losing.

Before the kickoff of the game between England and Nigeria, many including bookmakers didn't give the super falcons a chance to win the game but the performance of the super eagles in that game surprised everyone including England fans in and off the stadium.
The super falcons where better team in the game but where unlucky to win the game in normal time after hitting the crossbar in three different times. Football will always produce surprising results and that was one of the surprise results of the tournament
