4 | Nigeria's national women's football team, the Super Falcons, blew expectations out of the water on Monday when they tied with Sweden 3-3 at the FIFA 2015 Women's World Cup in Canada. | |
5 | Aderonke Ogunleye of the Premium Times reported: | Aderonke Ogunleye avy ao amin'ny Premium Times nitatitra fa: |
6 | Nigeria played a draw with Sweden in a Group D match opener of the FIFA Women's world cup going on in Canada. | Nanao ady sahala tamin'i Soeda tao amin'ny Vondrona D nandritra ny lalao fanokafana ny Fiadiana Amboara an'ny Vehivavy natao tany Kanadà i Nizeria. |
7 | […] In the second half, Ngozi Okobi reduced the deficit as she scored Nigeria's first goal in Canada before Oshoala put Nigeria back on level terms through a fine individual effort after a well-played long ball from Onome Ebi. | […] Tamin'ny fizarana faharoa, nampihena ny elanelana i Ngozi Okobi raha namono ny baolina voalohany ho an'i Nizeria tany Kanadà talohan'ny nametrahan'i Oshoala an'i Nizeria ho amin'ny dingana manaraka tamin'ny alalan'ny ezaka tsara nataony samy irery, taorian'ny tolotra lavabe avy any amin'i Onome Ebi. |
8 | The Super Falcons, who are seven-times African champions, are the only African team to have played in the women's FIFA World Cup since 1991. | Ny Voromahery, izay impito no efa tompon-dakan'i Afrika, no hany ekipa Afrikana afaka nilalao tany amin'ny FIFA Fiadiana ny Amboara Erantany ho an'ny vehivavy hatramin'ny taona 1991. |

11 | - ZODML: Free Library (@ZODML) October 29, 2014 Prior to the tournament in Canada, the Super Falcons were considered lightweights due to their constant failure in global football, despite being African champions. | Nialohan'ny fifaninanana tany Kanadà, noheverina ho toy ny maivana ny Voromahery vokatry ny tsy fahombiazany foana teo amin'ny lalao baolina kitra erantany, na dia tompondaka Afrikana aza. |
12 | However, Samuel Ahmadu was hopeful: | Na izany aza anefa, feno fanantenana i Samuel Ahmadu: |
13 | Regarded us as outsiders on the world stage over the last two decades, Nigeria re-emerged as African champions last year, reawakening their continental dominance. | Nihevitra anay ho toy ny any ivelan'ny sehatra erantany nandritra ny roapolo taona farany, nivoaka ho tompondakan'i Afrika indray i Nizeria tamin'ny taona lasa, namoha indray ny fifehezany ny kaontinanta. |
14 | This achievement could get them fired up to reach the last four after been considered perennial underachievers in recent years. […] | Io zava-bita io no mety handrehitra an-dry zareo ho tonga isan'ireo efatra farany taorian'ny niheverana azy ho tsisy ezaka maharitra tao anatin'ny taona vitsivitsy. […] |
15 | Nigeria get jibes for their often lack of history failing to match their pedigree as Africa's best among top women footballing nations in the World since the inception of the competition. | Nahazo teny hafahafa noho ny tsy tantaran'ny tsy fahombiazany mampifandray matetika ny maha andiany voatsonga azy ireo ho toy ny firenena sangany indrindra aty Afrika raha samy vehivavy mpilalao baaolina ihany eto amin'izao tontolo izao hatramin'ny niandohan'ny fifaninanana. |
16 | A story they will hope to rewrite at this edition. | Tantara izay antenain-dry zareo fa ho voasoratra indray amin'ity andiany ity. |
17 | The emergence of a youthful, energetic, block-blustering Oshoala, even at age 20, may perhaps deepen their run this time. | Ny fipoiran'i Oshoala, tanora, matanjaka, irakiraka mitsoriadriaka, na dia vao 20 taona monja aza, dia mety vaomainka hanamafy ny hazakazak'izy ireo amin'io fotoana io. |
18 | The Falcons' ability to hold their Swedish counterparts to a draw was elating but nonetheless surprising. | Naharavoravo ny nahafahan'ny Voromahery nitazona ny Soedoà mpifanandrina taminy ho ady sahala, fa na izany aza nahagaga. |
19 | The Falcons were the “underdogs,” according to Tony Manfred: | “Vahiny tsy nampoizina” ny Voromahery, hoy i Tony Manfred: |
20 | Nigeria is the last-ranked team in Group D at 33rd in the world. | Nizeria no laharana farany indrindra tamin'ny vondrona D, tany amin'ny laharana faha-33 manerantany. |
21 | Their other three opponents in the Group of Death - the U.S. (2nd), Sweden (5th), and Australia (10th) - are all ranked in the top 10. Faced with the task of taking down some of the biggest teams and names in world soccer, it's hard to think of a better philosophy than, “I don't need to know your name.” … | Ny telo hafa mpifanandrina aminy tao amin'ny Vondron'ny Fahafatesana - ny U.S. (faha-2), Soeda (faha-5), ary Aostralia (faha-10) - dia teo anatn'ireo 10 voalohany avokoa. Manoloana ny asa be tsy maintsy hadavoana ny sasany amin'ireo ekipa goavana sy malaza erantany amin'ny lalao baolina kitra eo ambony fasika , sarotra ny hieretreritra filozofia tsara afa-tsy ny hoe, “tsy mila mahafantatra izay anaranao aho” |
22 | Nigeria is good though. | Nefa tsara i Nizeria. |
23 | They aren't a compelling underdog because they try hard and overachieve, they're a compelling underdog because they think they're good enough to take down the best teams in the world, and they actually might be. | Tsy hoe vahiny tsy nampoizina maharesy lahatra izy ireo satria miezaka mafy sady manao izay fara-heriny, fa vahiny tsy nampoizina maharesy lahatra satria mieritreritra fa azo lazaina ho tsara afaka hampiondrika ireo ekipa tsara indrindra erantany, ary tena mety ho vitan'izy ireo marina izany. |
24 | Naturally, Nigerian netizens have been speaking about the match. | Mazava ho azy, miresaka mikasika ilay lalao ireo Nizeriana mpampiasa aterineto. |
25 | Nkem Ifejika, a Twitter user, said: | Nilaza i Nkem Ifejika, mpampiasa Twitter, hoe: |
26 | Get in my daughter! | Midira ry rahavaviko! |

32 | Will Coker wrote: Nigeria isn't a self sustaining country, but don't worry; they have a team in the women's World Cup. | Tsy firenena mahavita ny tenany i Nizeria, saingy aza matahotra, manana ekipa iray ao amin'ny Fiadiana ny Amboara Erantany Vehivavy ry zareo. |
33 | - Will Coker (@ThatWillCoker) June 8, 2015 Kolo Kenneth lauded the Falcons, although NEPA (the old name for the body responsible for public electricity) did not help: | Nidera ny Voromahery i Kolo Kenneth, na dia tsy nanampy aza ny NEPA (anarana fahiny niantsoana ny tompon'andraikitry ny herinaratra ho an'ny daholobe) |
34 | Dang. | Loza. |
35 | NEPA didn't epp my cause. | Tsy nanohana ny tòloko ny NEPA. |
36 | So, SUPER Falcons were indeed super last night? Those girls will go places mehn! | Araka izany, tafakatra ambony indrindra tokoa ve ny Voromahery MATANJAKA halina? |
