    Germany now have a week to prepare for next Saturday's quarter-final against Sweden or Canada. Is that an advantage?

    The players will get very impatient. It won't work against them but they will be raring to go whoever it is they face.

    Germany haven't conceded a goal yet at this tournament - they are very hard to beat.

    FT: Germany 3-0 Nigeria

    It wasn't spectacular but it was enough from Germany. They have quietly progressed to the quarter-finals with ease, without conceding a goal so far.

    They are still a way off their best too. Can they weave their way through this favourable part of the draw?

    Lea Schuller became the 36th different player to score a Women's World Cup goal for Germany when she netted today's third - that's at least three more players than any other nation.

    Germany 3-0 Nigeria

    Desire Oparanozie does her best and it's almost enough... what a strike! She curls it towards the top right post with pace but it skims inches over.

    Germany keeper Almuth Schult looked confident it was going high.

    Germany 3-0 Nigeria

    Francisca Ordega is caight late by a sliding Lena Oberdorf and Nigeria have a chance to grab a late consolation with a free-kick on the edge of the box.

    Can they give their fans one final goal to cheer for at this World Cup?

    I'm not saying this game is petering out but there are five pigeons on the pitch who haven't taken the hint that there is a football game going on.

    Germany 3-0 Nigeria

    Desire Oparanozie juggles the ball, beats a midfielder but plays a sloppy pass down the wing which Marina Hegering can easily pick up.

    The Nigerian players look tired now.

    Germany 3-0 Nigeria

    Desire Opranozie plays a hopeful ball forward which is nodded down and slipped through on the right.

    The cross is blocked though, just as Nigeria gathers numbers in the box.

    What that shows you is how good a goalscorer Schuller really is. She has been quiet today but as soon as she gets a chance, she scores. Her goal ratio at senior level for Germany is better than one in two.

    GOAL - Germany 3-0 Nigeriapublished at 82 mins

    Lea Schuller

    Clinical finish from Lea Schuller but it's a howler from Rasheedat Ajibade.

    The substitute, who has just been booked, tries to pass it back to a teammate but gets it all wrong and ends up feeding in Schuller in the box.

    Schuller just keeps her cool and blasts it into the back of the net - right in the corner.

    Germany 2-0 Nigeria

    Marina Hegering and Rasheedat Ajibade clash in the air and both players receive treatment. The referee is ready with her card though and shows it to Ajibade when she gets back to her feet.

    Brutal!

    Nigeria are just so open at the back. You can get a bus through the two centre-halves.

    Germany 2-0 Nigeria

    Chinaza Uchendu goes close with a header at one end before Sara Dabritz is played clean through in the box by Lena Oberdorf.

    It's a tight angle for Dabritz on the left and she fires wide of the right post!
