WHY AFRICA NOR WANT STOP NONSENSE
You people seem to overlook what happened yesterday between South Africa v Tunisia. There was a late penalty, clear contact, VAR certain alerted offence, but what happened, the South African referee from Burundi, ruled it out because of corruption. Super Falcons will play thirteen women on Monday, the crowd, the referee. To the Glory of God, Nigeria will laugh last. God bless Super Falcons, God Bless. Nigeria.
