Enough of this nonsense, these so called women footballing by nigeria needs to come to an end. It is a waste of the countries resourse for this ladies to alway just lay down and be run over like this. They have never won a game outside Africa. They need to all go get a husband and stop this useless waste of their youth. PS This is not bashing.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- Mia Hamm was unstoppable for the second straight World Cup game, scoring two early goals, then setting up one in the second half as the United States routed Nigeria 5-0 Thursday night. Hamm treated a crowd of 31,553 to yet another masterful performance. After assisting on all three goals in a 3-1 victory over Sweden on Sunday, soccer's career scoring leader with 144 goals almost single-handedly did in the Nigerians. Hamm converted a penalty kick in the sixth minute with a shot low to the right corner after Cindy Parlow was knocked down in the area by Nigerian captain Florence Omagbemi. In the 12th, she sent a 35-yard free kick on a majestic arc and goalkeeper Precious Dede could only get her fingertips on it as the ball settled into the net. Two minutes later, Hamm nearly had a hat trick -- her twisting shot from the left wing barely missed. She also hit the goal post in the second half. Nigeria had a goal disallowed on a very close offsides call seconds after Hamm's miss. Otherwise, with rare exceptions, the Americans controlled the pace and possession. Parlow got her second goal of the tournament two minutes into the second half. It was an almost exact duplicate of her goal against Sweden as she headed home Hamm's corner kick. After playing a part in all three goals -- she was fouled before Hamm's free-kick score -- Parlow left for Tiffeny Milbrett in the 57th minute. Abby Wambach scored her first World Cup goal in the 65th on a perfect cross from Kristine Lilly. Julie Foudy connected on a penalty kick in the 89th. The Americans took the lead in Group A with six points, but have not clinched a quarterfinal spot. They play North Korea on Sunday in Columbus, Ohio, needing only a tie to advance. Nigeria, which lost to North Korea in its opener, was eliminated. Bunmi Kayode was taken off on a stretcher in the final moments, her head immobilized, after she collided with Wambach. There was no immediate report on her condition. In their previous two meetings, the United States won 7-1 in the 1999 World Cup and 3-1 in the 2000 Olympics. This one never was in doubt, either. Coach April Heinrichs pulled a mild surprise by not starting bruising forward Wambach, instead substituting a fourth midfielder, playmaker Aly Wagner. Another World Cup rookie, Kylie Bivens, started on defense for Christie Pearce. Cat Reddick, the only U.S. collegian on the team, replaced injured Brandi Chastain and was very solid on the back line.
Need I say more? Read for yourself. This ladies think that they are on vacation. Who knows how many millions got sunk into this

I do agree that women do not belong in the game of soccer as players. What have they done to my beloved game? It has gotten so bad that I thank my God that I never watched the women soccer games.

Hahahaha. Na wa oo. Abi because na the world champs we play na hin be the reason why we suffered this huge defeat, okwa ya?
Abeg, make una no dey caricature our falcons oo biko nu! I know say both birds of prey (eagles and falcons) come dey look like torotoro now but make una never despair oo. I hope say when they finally return for Naija, una government no go vex and dismantle the whole female soccer establishment.
Abeg, make dem dey represent Africa every time even if say when dey reach World Cup levels na 6 or 7 kpondo dem go carry return. E better like that.
Ehm, Bunmi Kayode who was taken off on a stretcher, HEAD IMMOBILIZED, I dey pray make she recover oh. We don't want a Marc-Vivie Foe incident chaa chaa. Ozo ndi asiri akogheriwe si na ndi iro ya na-achoghi ka o gbaa bolu agaala na nke dibia wee pigbue ya.
There should be no shame in losing to the best!

What do you expect? I know the powerpuff girls [USA] will disgrace the Falcons.
They need to emphasize more on controlling the ball to speed. Soccer requires speed and grace but not over drive. This was what happened to the Green Eagles when they first played the world cup. They had too much speed, committed too many fouls and got burned out. The Falcons have too much speed. With too much speed, you get stressed easily resulting to lack of ball control.You incure the tendency to run into your opponents from the back, pushing and kicking the legs instead of the ball and with total disregard for foul play. You become a sucker to rythm.
The Falcons had too many fouls against USA. Their style is not much fun, after watching them disgraced by North Korea who just entered the womens' world cup for the first time and then the powerpuff girls. They got to settle down and play the game with ease not with furo [aggressive].Obasanjo must be blamed for the show down. Whose next---------------> Sweden? I hope not.
Hail Biafra

If there is anything that could be done to stop these women from coming out in the future, let us do it. Soccer was not a game that our women were supposed to play.
