"Hello and welcome to today's coverage of this live match. And I'm really excited for this one, aren't you, Andy?"

"For sure, Simon. I'm really excited. I think we'll have a great match today."

"Today, we have Nigeria against the USA, both sides duking it out for a place in the semifinals. Nigeria come into this match on the cusp of history. No African nation has ever made it beyond the quarter finals of the World Cup. Only three have reached this stage before, all have fallen. But Kelechi Oshonaike believes fate is on his team's side. And they'll need every bit of it tonight, right Andy?"

"Absolutely, Simon. The Americans are traditional powerhouses and come into this game on the back of an absolute drubbing of Spain who are no pushovers by the way. They've been in fine form throughout the tournament and will look to progress from this one. Nigeria, on the other hand have been the Cinderella story. They were drawn against Sweden, China and Brazil, and somehow managed to qualify ahead of Brazil and Sweden. They've upset some of the best teams in the world to make it to this point, and I think they'll make a real statement today."

"Well, there are no surprises here with the Nigerian setup. They've built success on soaking up pressure and hitting on the counter. But Gary Phillips is the master of tactical shifts, and his side is capable of turning the screws and grinding out results."

"The Nigerians are looking to entrench themselves in their half, no big surprises there. We have four repeating zones on each end of the half, and a low block unsurprisingly led by Charles Ndidi."

"He is arguably the revelation of the tournament. I've rarely seen anyone so adept at breaking up waves of assault repeatedly over ninety minutes. But he'll be going up against the Terminator himself, Robby Valentino. He's got the highest kill rate in tournament history, and he's in perfect form, isn't he?"

"He definitely is. Highlights of his phenomenal performance at Spain still rack up views online. It isn't every day you watch someone singlehandedly mow down a defense line. I think we're in for a classic tonight, Simon. Attack against defense."

"Attack against defense indeed, Andy."

"The referee checks his watch, and away we go in Manchester, in the third quarterfinal of the UNWF World Cup. War is sport, isn't it?"

"War is sport."
