Super Falcons Players In Tears After Advancing Into World Cup Round Of 16 (Video)
Players of the Super Falcons of Nigeria could not contain their joy after sealing passage into the knockout round of the FIFA Women’s World Cup on Thursday.
Naijaparry reports that Thailand did Nigeria the favour – not allowing Chile to score more than two goals in the last group stage game played on Thursday night.
The Nigerian ladies were overwhelmed with emotions and some of them could be seen crying while celebrating the moment with Coach Thomas Dennerby and his crew in their lodge.

It was the first time in 20 years that a Nigerian female team would go past the group stage of the world cup.
Also, it is the first time two teams from Africa (Cameroon and Nigeria) have qualified from the FIFA Women’s World Cup group stages. Nigeria now confront Germany on Saturday.
