It just remains few minutes or seconds as of the time I'm writing this comment for Cameroon and Malawi match to end, and Cameroon are currently leading Malawi 4-0, they scored their fourth goal in extra time when no one even expect them to score another goal. I knew Cameroon will beat Malawi but I didn't expect Malawi be an easy opponent for Cameroon.

The match ended 3:0 in favour of Cameroon. The last goal was not awarded so it stopped at 3:0, Malawi has been good so far but experience is one of the things that made them to lose today against Cameroon, the coach of Cameroon and his players studied their game play they capitalized on their errors to punish them there by scoring 3 goals before the halftime that alone is enough to weaken the team's strength so it made Cameroon to win the match with zero stress. Everyone was expecting a tough game but after the first 30 minutes winner of the game was already decided.

Malawi made it easy for Cameroon. This wasn't the final I waited for to see Cameroon beat Malawi without a response from Malawi. Moreover, Malawi wasn't the favorite to win. The bookmakers chose Cameroon. A lot of gamblers also believe Cameroon will win their first ever WAFCON in history. 

Congratulations to Cameroon ladies. To be a winner is not a day's journey. Every step through to the final was tough for them. The ladies did wonderfully, and the Malawi ladies did wonders as well.

That's football (game of uncertainties) for you. Many people waited for a very serious/tough match and even go on expecting Malawi to win but football and it's wonders just like Nigeria was expected to win Cameron. Somehow, even as super falcons didn't do well someone can say Cameron will win Malawi since they won the defending champions, but altogether it's just prediction that the result in the football field has the final say.

Congratulations to Cameroon on their historical win. At least WAFCON now have new champions. Cameroon really had a rough and tough start though but they were persistent not only them Malawi made a very grand entry into the tournament and their performances was something else. Although they are new to the trophy if I am not mistaken but they also played well like they've been playing the tournament for long. They also deserve some accolades for their efforts in reaching the WAFCON finals. This shows they could go along way in football since they in this tone.

The interesting part of it is Cameroon had lost three finals since they started the WAFCON competition and in what will look like the fourth one for them to have lost again, they ended up winning it with a very good margin of 3 goals to none against the Malawi side. Now the guys are more happier than ever to have being the team to have brought this land mark victory to the team for the first time. I expect to see the country to welcome them in a grand styling way including the president of the country so it encourages them to do more and the men’s team should also learn from this to work harder when they participate in the next competition of the AFCON and the World Cup in general.

Men should learn from the women’s team? Hilarious! The men’s football is a totally different game entirely it’s way too far from what the women play so if you say they should learn I think you are wrong but if you say they should pick up from the women by taking the next championship is very valid but for learning men are far in a difficult situation in the football then the women, you know how well this is, intentional players all over other countries playing same game is in a different level so adjusting your words is likely my suggestion.

I think he's talking about the success of the Super Falcons when it comes to the African football and why the Super Eagles should learn from their mistakes. Literally, I don't think any football fan will want to tell the men's teams to learn from their female counterparts. But if he's actually saying that the women's team is better and that the men's team should learn from them, it simply means that his football knowledge is limited

You’re getting it wrong though, he is talking about Cameroon players not Nigerian players, even though you got the country wrong but you’re right that we can’t tell the male to learn from the female football team as they play totally different levels of games, because of the softness and lack of competitiveness of the female players they even lack viewers which has been a very big question long ago, but however, the men’s football is the biggest game in the world. So learning isn’t the problem of national teams but the strategies and good planning, like not conceding a goal until the finals, or drawing until the finals such strategy helps win.

Learning is learning which can also be derived by finding courages through the exhibitions of others.
In this context I mean it is not a wrong phrase if the mens team have to learn from the womens team but the question is learning on which aspect?
The women teams may also be so boring if compared with the mens team which ideally is the reason why you think there is nothing for the men to learn from the woman but that is totally wrong if you think professionalism in football is just all about the high energies and the muscling in the mens football.
Don't entirely underestimate women when compared to men. Just my own opinion.
