2019 Women's World Cup : Three Reasons Why Nigeria Should Progress To Next Round
Published: June 06, 2019
The FIFA Women's World Cup is set to begin on Friday as host nation France welcome South Korea to the Parc des Princes Stadium.
The Super Falcons of Nigeria, who are in the same group with the host country, will play their first game of the competition against Norway on Saturday.
Many Nigerians have little or no trust in Thomas Dennerby's ladies due to the team's shambolic performances in previous competitions and majority of football lovers in the country are much more interested in Super Eagles' friendly clash against Zimbabwe on the same day.
Though the African champions haven't performed up to par in past tournaments, they stand a very bright chance of progressing to the next round despite being in the 'group of death'.
Why should soccer-loving Nigerians expect a better outing from the Super Falcons? Allnigeriasoccer.com provides top three reasons.
Topnotch Pre-tournament Friendlies
This is arguably the first time the Super Falcons played some quality friendly games before a major tournament. The West African ladies came up against 14 countries, including China and Canada, before heading to their base in France.
They should at least qualify to the next round of the tournament if their preparation must reflect in their performance during the competition.
They Are In Top Form
Two back-to-back victories is a testament that the Nigeria ladies are in rich vein of form going to into the tournament. They scored many goals and they will want to maintain their present form throughout the group stage and beyond.
Asisat Oshoala's Experience To Play Key Role
Though football is a game of 11 players, every team has a player who will carry the team on his/her shoulder.
Barcelona forward Asisat Oshoala is definitely one of the players who will be charged with the responsibility of leading the rest of the team to greatness.
Luckily for the African Champions, the Barcelona's summer signing is in fine goalscoring form and she looks ready for the task ahead.
