I'm South African, so I really, really wanted Nigeria to win against England of all teams. Haven't felt that tense about a penalty shootout in ages, was borderline painful.

It sucks that Nigeria are out and sure they weren't the most technical and offensive team in the tournament, but man they showed great commitment and I promise you African nations are going to be watching more of their women's teams now. Proud of all of them, especially Ajibade who was just incredibly dynamic and determined the whole match.
