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.
