USA vs Nigeria will be the last group match for both USA and Nigeria in Group B of Women’s world cup 2007. The match will be held at the Shanghai Hongkou Football Stadium on 18 September. No doubt, USA is the favorite in the match against Nigeria. However, for Nigeria, it is a big chance to qualify for the quarter final for the second time.
Nigeria does not have any impressive track record in the women’s world cup, though they have participated in all previous editions of women’s world cup 2007. Their best performance in women’s world cup was in 1999 in USA where they could qualify for the quarter final for the first time. To get the ticket of quarter final again, Nigeria needs to win the last match against mighty USA with a big margin. Considering the strength of both USA and Nigeria, you have to admit that USA should win the match with big margin. However, Nigeria has created an upset against strong Sweden making a 1-1 draw. The “Super Falcon” nicknamed Nigeria is one of the major teams in Africa. However, they are yet to become a power in world football.
On the other hand, USA is the most successful team in the history of women’s world cup. USA is the only women’s football team who has won two world cup titles. No doubt, they are also favorite for the ongoing Women’s world cup 2007. Ahead of the match against Nigeria, USA just needs 1 point to get into the quarter final stage of the tournament. However, USA will try to win the match with a big margin in order to avoid Germany in the quarter final becoming the champion of Group B. Performance of USA in women’s world cup is not impressive in women’s world cup 2007. In the first match, USA came up with a draw against North Korea. However, in the second match they won over Sweden. Now, let us see if Nigeria can cause an upset against USA.
