00:00Mission X continues for the Super Falcons of Nigeria in their second game.
00:04They will face Botswana after their victory against Tunisia.
00:07What will of course happen in this one?
00:09It looks like a walk in the park on paper.
00:12But then we'll talk about what to expect from that game in this episode.
00:16My name is Ayomide Shatubo.
00:17I bid you welcome to the Nutmeg here on Guardian TV.
00:24Alright, great.
00:25It's time to talk women's football here on the Nutmeg.
00:28Not the regular occurrence, but today I've got Eniola in the studios with me.
00:32Great to have you, Eniola.
00:33Thank you very much for having me.
00:34Yeah, she makes her debut and we're talking about the Super Falcons.
00:39They will play Botswana on Thursday, 8 p.m. West African time.
00:43And we know first off, the best place to start is the first game.
00:47Nigeria up against Tunisia.
00:48We saw Azizat Oshuala on the scoresheet.
00:51We saw Babaji De Rissola on the scoresheet as well.
00:54We saw Iheel Zuo.
00:56Yeah, I hope I got that name right.
00:59On the scoresheet as well.
01:00But what was your first game?
01:02To be fair, I think they actually did right.
01:06The style of very good.
01:083-0.
01:09It's no game.
01:10Actually, to be fair, I think they did well.
01:13They are one of the strongest players and teams in the tournament.
01:21But from South Africa and Morocco.
01:23I think them coming in with 3-0, it's no game.
01:27They are actually ready.
01:28There's fire.
01:29There's grids.
01:29There's everything.
01:30And I just know that they are going for it.
01:35I know they are going for it.
01:36Yeah, most certainly.
01:38Now, I think on the strength of that, the question we should be asking is,
01:42can Botswana contend against the Super Falcons?
01:47Do you see them even mustering a shock result?
01:51Now, we have to go back to Botswana last game against Algeria.
01:55And their game against Algeria, though they lost, yeah?
01:59But you could have seen that they wanted more.
02:02They were hungry.
02:03They needed to win the game.
02:04Because they knew how much the game needed.
02:07How much they needed the game.
02:09But I just think if our team, which is Wafalcon, if they can,
02:15which I know they can actually, if they can be strong.
02:18Because defensively, Botswana are that they are a very good team defensively.
02:23They can make you get tired.
02:25I just think our team needs to score early.
02:30I think in a few minutes into the game, they need to score.
02:33And if they should be able to get one or two goals, we are good to go.
02:37We are winning them.
02:38They are just underdogs.
02:40Yeah, and we met them once before.
02:42That was in the 2022 edition.
02:44And of course, the Super Falcons won that one 2-0.
02:48And this is their second ever appearance as well.
02:51So they are more or less like Minos.
02:52But let's move away from them now.
02:54And give you the final prediction for the game.
02:57What do you think in terms of the scoreline?
02:59What do you think it will be?
03:00Like I said earlier, I said two goals.
03:03But I know they won't literally just be laid off and not want to fight.
03:09But them causing problems is normal.
03:11It's actually expected.
03:12But I feel my prediction is just 2-0.
03:16Just before I let you go, Eniola.
03:18Mission X, we are nine-time African champions.
03:21You mentioned two teams that are proper contenders as well.
03:26That's in South Africa and Morocco.
03:29Now, we have a clear mission, a clear purpose.
03:31Do you think that we can achieve Mission X, which is to become 10-time African champions right here, right now?
03:37I'm strong with my thoughts.
03:40It's telling me that, yes, we can win this.
03:43Because South Africa, yes, they are a team.
03:46They are a very strong team.
03:47But I know these ladies, our ladies with Assas Ushuala, with Rashida,
03:53they are very good, composed, diligent, strong.
03:57They have the fire in them.
03:58They are willing to go for it.
03:59And I know that they can win this.
04:01And we can only just clap for them here in Nigeria and just wish them the best.
04:07That's just that it's just you.
04:07And they have a great coach as well.
04:09And Justin Madagascar was doing a fantastic job.
