The Flamingos, who had already defeated New Zealand 4-1 in their opening match, continued their impressive form against Ecuador as they clinched their second win in two games.

I watched most of the matches, the Flamingos are technically good but need to improve on their passes and quick exchanges. Nigeria might reach the semi finals but North Korea and Spain parade exceptionally skillful ladies. Either Spain or North Korea, one of them will lift the cup. Goidluck to our Flamingos. God bless Nigeria and Nigerians, Amen.
Nigeria will beat Spain or North korea if they meet in the tournament.My fear is France if they're in the tournament Still it's going to be fifty fifty between Nigeria and France if they meet But for Spain,Brazil, England, North Korea or Japan ITS GOING TO BE AN OUTRIGHT WIN FOR NIGERIA . UP FLAMINGOES AMEN
