Babajide Nets Fourth Goal for Millwall in 5-goal Cracker
[/size]

Rinsola Babjide in action for Millwall Ladies FC
Nigerian forward Rinsola Babajide was among the goals for her England women’s league team Millwall Lionesses in a 3-2 loss to Oxford United on Monday night.
The 16-year-old has now scored four goals in the league.
Babajide gave Millwall the lead two minutes into second half, when she cut in from the right side before she curled a shot past the Oxford United's goalkeeper Demi Lambourne.
However, Millwall allowed a 2-1 lead slip away and they lost the game.
They are now third from bottom of the league table.
Babajide, who was born in England and could also play as a left winger, joined Millwall Lionesses from Crystal Palace.

Chinaza Uchendu, who scored for the Super Falcons at the recently –concluded women’s football tourna­ment of the 11th All-Africa Games in Brazzaville, head­lined a list that also included goalkeeper Sandra Chiichii, defenders Olubunmi Eli­jah and Ugochi Emenayo, midfielders Joy Bokiri and Tessy Biahwo and forwards Chinwendu Ihezuo, Uchen­na Kanu and Yetunde Ade­boyejo.

The Nigeria delegation would be led by member of the NFF Executive Com­mittee and Chairperson of the Nigeria Women Football League, Mrs Dilichukwu Onyedinma.
The 2016 FIFA U-20 Women’s World would be hosted by Papua New Guinea. In addition to the host nation, 15 countries from 6 Confederations were expected to compete in the tournament .

I don't just know why there is low hype and publicity about this girl 'Rinsola Babajide that plays for Millwall Ladies'.

Rinsola Babajide
The gifted 16 year-old was formerly with Crystal Palace Ladies and is currently in the first term of a two year Scholarship with Millwall.
This is a girl who is truly 16yrs old unlike the Nigerian football age.
For a girl of her type to be making waves in a highly competitive league speaks volumes about her potentials. Just wish, hope and pray NFF and the technical crew of the Falconets will pick interest in her and quickly include her in the final list of the falconets before England invites her, just like they did to Aluko, the elder sister to Super Eagles' Sone Aluko

You are on point. The NFF will neve for once do the needful, but expect the Coaches and the teams to do magic.
Lets I forget, there is another of Nigeria's female footballer, Adekite Fatuga Dada, that plays for Watford Ladies.
I expect such players to be included in our squad.

From the available information I have gathered, both Rinsola Babajide and Adekite Fatuga Dada, all born in England, but of Nigerian Parents, are yet to feature for England. All of them are within the age range of 16-20 yrs of age.
Below are the pictures of Rinsola Babajide (in the 1st picture) and Adekite Fatuga Dada (in the 2nd picture left).

Loosing to two African female national teams consecutively shows that the team is completely dead, and that the NFF only employed Coach Danjuma to complete the total destruction of the team in the Just concluded AAGs. That is why we need to make sure, we do not loose these upcoming talented players of Nigerian origin, be it male or female, to these foreign countries again.

Nigeria’s Falconets defeated Democratic Republic of Congo 2-1 away in the first leg, second round qualifier for the 2016 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup.
Chinaza Uchendu opened the scoring for the Falconets in the sixth minute before Chinwendu Ihezuo doubled the lead six minutes later.
The Congolese reduced the deficit after they scored in the 40th minute to end the first half 2-1.
In the second half, both teams failed to find the back of the net, thereby ending the tie 2-1 in favour of the Falconets.
Both teams will meet in the return leg to decide which team will progress from the second round.
In the first round of qualifiers, the Falconets thrashed Liberia 14-1 on aggregate.
The Falconets finished second at the 2014 FIFA Women’s U-20 World Cup in Canada, after they lost 1-0 to Germany in the final.

CELEBRATION: Falconets File Photos.
Two quick goals in the first half from Chinaza Uchendu in the sixth minute and Chiwendu Ihezou in the 12th minute gave Nigeria a comfortable lead as the Falconets took control of the game.
DR Congo were able to pull a goal back just before half time as the second period failed to produce any goals in an entertaining game.
Nigeria had eliminated Liberia 14-1 on aggregate in the first round and will look to complete the job against DR Congo in the return leg in Nigeria.
Coach Peter Dedevbo will hope to get his girls into the main qualifying round, which is yet to be decided by the Confederation of African Football (CAF).
The Falconets were silver medalists at the last edition in Canada in 2014 where an Asisat Oshoala inspired side reached the final but were beaten 1-0 by Germany.
The 2016 event will be hosted by Papua New Guinea.

Rinsola Babajide Scores Again for Millwall
[/size]

Rinsola Babajide scores again for Millwall Ladies
Nigerian forward Rinsola Babajide continued her impressive display for Millwall Ladies when she scored in a 2-1 loss to Aston Villa Ladies on Sunday night.
She has now scored five goals.
Rinsola Babjide gave the home side the lead after 25 minutes - powering home a confident finish after a sustained period of Millwall pressure before strikes from Beth Merrick and Wilkinson turned the game on its head.
The WSL 2 meeting followed a similar pattern to the same fixture last season - late drama not quite a stoppage time turnaround.
Babajide was a menace down the left flank the last time the two sides met at Sutton yet this time she played down the middle.
The Nigerian had a good chance to break the deadlock, but could not steer her effort from close range on target.
Moments later, scorer Babajide held the ball up, unleashed a strike which was clawed away by Leach - a good strike and equally impressive save.

That is why we need to look else where for more prolific strikers. It looks like the likes of Oshoalo and Courtney Dike are lacking in this present set of Falconets. The scoreline to me is not encouraging at all.
We need Rinsola Babajide of Millwall Ladies FC in this team.

Five Players Score as U-20 WNT Defeats Honduras 5-0 in San Pedro Sula
[/size]
SAN PEDRO SULA, Honduras (Sept. 23, 2015)– The U.S. Under-20 Women’s National Team defeated the Honduras U-20 Women’s National Team 5-0 in a friendly match that is a part of training camp to prepare for the upcoming CONCACAF U-20 Women’s World Cup qualifying tournament that will be held in San Pedro Sula in December.
The USA got on the board in just the fifth minute as Savannah DeMelo played a pass in behind the defense on the left side to Marley Canales. Canales took one touch and hit a low, hard shot into the right side of the goal for the 1-0 lead.
In the 18th minute, it was Brianna Pinto who played a ball behind the defense to Zoe Redei, this time on the left side. Redei beat the center-back on the dribble before finishing into the right side of the net.
Three minutes later Ella Stevens got behind the defense to score off an assist from Julie Doyle and the USA took a 3-0 lead into halftime.
Three minutes after the break, Honduras failed to clear and Pinto picked up the loose ball, beat a defender and drilled a shot toward the left corner of the goal. The goalkeeper got a hand on the ball, but couldn’t keep it out.
Jordan Harr finished the scoring in the 64th minute by racing into the penalty box, and when the ‘keeper closed her down, she slotted home for the final margin.
These were the first international goals at the U-20 level for Canales, Redei, Stevens and Pinto. Harr scored against the Netherlands in Spain back in March.
The USA is preparing for qualifying for the 2016 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup which will be held in Papau New Guinea.
