Nigerians have reacted to Super Falcons\u2019 qualification to the Round of 16 games, at the ongoing Women\u2019s World Cup in France, following the completion of the group phase on Thursday.<\/p>\n

The Super Falcons had to wait until the final Group F fixtures, to see if they would qualify for the Round of 16.<\/p>\n

Nigeria has now taken the last slot reserved for the best third-placed countries. The other three are Brazil, China and Cameroon.<\/p>\n

Africa will be cheering on Nigeria, who plays Germany on June 22 and Cameroon who will face England.<\/p>\n

Some Nigerians took to social media to congratulate the Super Falcons on their qualification.<\/p>\n

While some prayed for the team to defeat Germany, others advised and expressed fear that Nigeria will be booted out soon.<\/p>\n

Here are some comments gathered by DAILY POST from Twitter:<\/p>\n
