TheSuperNerd:
Olowoporoku was only 14 then. He is still within the age bracket. Let us hope he is on that Manu Garba list of 51 talents invited to kick off the U17 camp this week.

Why is the Manu Garba's list of 51 invited players to the Golden Eagles camp shrouded in secrecy?

TheGoodJoe:


Let us hope it happens. I can't wait to rub my hands in excitement and we press the necks of our opponents like Piano.

Terrible decision.......if true.

He cannot and won't get the team to play the type of attacking football that you desire cos we lack the personnel.

I also see him making questionable calls and decisions especially with regards to player invitations and squad selection.

If we had to go local, I'll have taken a chance on Michael Nsien the US U-20 coach. He seems to have better knowledge and grasp of modern tactics.

Amuneke is not that man but I'll be happy and glad to be proven wrong.

Nigeria first

TheSuperNerd:


Ghanaian fans seeing Boniface pull off Kudus' celebration in front of Kudus against Kudus' West Ham...

Boniface na werey and cruise master. Apart from being a player, he's also a fan of the game and follows it keenly.

See the way he bantered Onyedika when he scored those two goals and now he's mocking Kudus.

mostob:
Clowns? Randy is the clown here please. Udoh is right. Randy is one of the most protected SF coach.
Let's be factual here please, is there anything tangible that Randy has added to this team? Remove the individual brilliance of Nnadozie and the little luck here and there and imagine where we would be by now.

Let's free these journalists please. Nothing exceptional about RW abeg. Moreso, as a player or coach, it is expected to receive criticism. You need to develop tough skin. Why the blocking spree?

Colin Udoh criticized Randy Waldrum during the WAFCON........rightfully so if I may add, and was pushing for his sack after the tournament while lowkey lobbying for his wife Mercy Akide to be appointed as coach.

Still, Randy Waldrum is immature and unprofessional for blocking the sports journalists.

The most impactful change that Randy Waldrum made that turned around the fortunes of the Super Falcons was dropping Rita Chikwelu from the team.

That lady was an eyesore and impacted our game so negatively and cost the team a lot.

The Saudi League must be a very low quality league cos I can't fathom how that lady was signed by a club and is still making appearances.

Make Ashleigh Plumptre do commot for that league.

Odunayaw:
I wasn't pleased that they played tension football yesterday. It was like the idea was to kick the ball away from their half. Even the structure of the team was disjointed, players lingering in positions that is unexplainable to the football eye.

Anyway I hope they come to the party like they did at the WC

The goal was to obtain the ticket.....and this they achieved. Every other thing was secondary.

There'll be time to finetune tactics and improve gameplay ahead of the Olympics.

Randy Waldrum and the girls have done well and I know they'll raise their game and play better football at the olympics.

Yesss!

Super Falcons of Nigeria QUALIFIED

SA not playing like anything is at stake.

Kudos to the Super Falcons.

komekn:


There is absolutely nothing great about that goal a goal yes but great No. You are over gassing it.

The number 4 for Monza is an absolute joke, he stands like his watching traffic he doesn't even jump for th ball or even try to defend and or intercept the cross.

It's shocking abysmal defending it caused VO to almost injure himself as he anticipated a challenge but there was none whatsoever.

Good goal 🥅 for VO but shambolic defending by Monza.

This is pure witchcraft and sorcery. Gosh!

I suggest you visit Km 12 Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, Ibafo, Ogun state for deliverance

Keep the discussion on football.

If this thread is derailed further and spirals down the path of ethnicity, I will sanction those involved heavily.

BascoVanVeli:
I pray Finidi gives Olisa Ndah a chance. He sef needs to leave SA ASAP

Olisa Ndah, Igoh Ogbu, Gabriel Osho

Mujtahida:
Apologies for derailing the thread. I was doing catch up and couldn't resist the urge to say one or two things. I don quiet now. Cheers my people

Apology accepted but I'm also doing catch-up so you and all those who still posted off-topic and derailed the thread after my warning post will be sanctioned.

Cheers.

Enough of the off-topic political discuss and derailing of the thread.

Keep the discussion on football.

Henceforth, anyone who drops any off-topic post will be sanctioned severely.

Joebie:
I no expect am to hot like this o for here.

World Cup na the koKo. We have won AFCON before. let’s do something we never done before. We don’t have to have bragging rights against other African nations. let’s just make some football progress. Can we get to the QF, SF, finals, or maybe win the WC? Let’s look ahead.

I'll rather win AFCON than get to the world cup semi finals

Wahala. Nervousness wan kill me

Bench Osimhen?

Thankfully, Jose Peseiro knows better and wouldn't dare it.

A win is a win.

Congrats to the Super Eagles and Nigerians

Angola plays an open attacking style. They can't play any other way.

That suits our defensive/counter attacking style cos they're porous at the back and will leave spaces for us to exploit.

Ultimately, it be our biggest victory and I'm predicting

Nigeria 3
Angola 0

Today, we gonna soar.

Joezinho:


Noooo!! He’s not good. Thus saith our noble admin. 😅😅

He has evolved and been an absolute beast of a defender in this tournament. I'm happy to be proven wrong.

Still, it's petty of you to think I'll ban you over a difference in football opinions.

This AFCON is bonkers

MAURITANIA!

No Alhassan Yusuf Peseiro's decision to list only 5 midfielders to a tournament still baffles me.

charlesemeka85:

Imagine what's happening buts it real

Rwanda has shot themselves to the top of a group were giant Nigeria and South Africa are also in the mix.

Rwanda have comfortably beaten South Africa 2-0 having drown their opening day fixture.

The win has also given Nigeria a live wire as it means South Africa will now be only a point ahead of Nigeria having played same number of games.

Perfect result. Thank you Rwanda. Now, we go for broke against South Africa in June.
