1-0 win is fine by me coz the Black Queens are still strong. I think they won the last All Africa Games gold last year.

And yeah, pls go ahead Sir... Create them. Or is it gonna be one thread comprising Super Falcons, Super Falconets and the flamingoes plus other Uncapped Young Falcons prospects?

It will be the bolded

yeah they are in camp

I saw a picture of the girl's training and I was a bit more optimistic than I was before. Good to see players like Tessy Biawo, Adeboyejo, etc. They are good quality players. I also think Ajibade will start if she makes the team.

What a good final.

Wow, I just read that the North Koreans beat Japan. It's an upset because I felt that the Japanese girls were the best team in the tournament.
It must have been so cruel on Japan to lose via penalty shoot out.

Anyway, I'd expect some of the Japanese girls to be part of their U-20 team in Papua New Guinea. So, Dedevbo should better prepare the Falconets for the Japanese challenge.

Orkpekyandega:
It's ok. Let us keep calm and wait for what the Falconets will come up with.

Who knows.

There is no need to wait because the Falconets are not from Japan or USA. Granted that Peter is a very good coach but he cannot perform miracles without the help of Nigerians. All the teams in the tournament in Papua New Guinea have already named their squad and under intensive preparation for the show while Nigeria has not even assembled a practice squad.

Where the Falconets training on a synthetic turf? The Flamingoes looked completely sorry on the synthetic turf in Jordan.

their poor perfermance hads nothing to do with the turf,the nff fails to exposed the girls

The nff hads yet to learn for the failure of the flamingo what are the ladies still doing in nigeria

Do you mean a sight-seeing tour? I guess the exposures include making the kids comfortable on a synthetic turf. There is a great difference playing on natural turf and synthetic turf.

They can still get ready by training and staying in Nigeria. One of the problems that afflict Nigeria is lack of organizational acumen. The act of scheduling is the cornerstone of success. By now countries such as USA, SPAIN and JAPAN have already named their teams therefore Nigeria should have named its squad and embarks on serious trainings in order to incorporate cohesiveness. Rather it is still waiting for the invited players while the coaches are issuing datelines.

no not a tour,i mean by playing quality friendly with other countries
by the way the ladies did train with synthetic turf here in nigeria

I am still wondering why the NFF never looked in Babajide's heroics..

The 17-year-old Nigerian was on target fourteen times with a couple of assists in a collegiate cup game


Nigeria-born Rinsola Babajide netted fourteen goals in the second half for the Univeristy of East London women's football team in their 40-0 demolition of the University College London at the British Universities and College Sports cup game.


The UEL women were 15 goals up in the first half before rounding up the game with 25 goals in the second half in their second fixture of the BUCS Wednesday.

Babajide who plays for Millwall Lionness was on target for the England U19 in their 2-1 victory over USA U19 at the Women's International Cup a week ago.

The England youth international took to the social media to celebrate the victory.

"40-0 win in a cup game vs UCL - scored 14 goals & a few assists next round here we come , well done girls," Babajide tweeted.

I do not know why, but I have a very low expectation from these set of Superfalconets.

I suspect something................

The Falconets first game vs Japan kicks off at 9am on Sunday, Nov 13

The Head of the Psychology Unit of the Nigeria Football Federation, Dr. Robinson Okosun, over the weekend lectured the FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup-bound Falconets on the importance of developing their mental toughness and confidence level in order to excel under intense pressure and provocation.
With barely two weeks to the commencement of the FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup in Papua, New Guinea, Okosun talked about the prerequisite attitudes ranging from positive self -talk to rapid re-focusing skills needed for the players to unleash their winning attitudes at the championship.
He said that body language could be harnessed to project a positive frame of mind to elevate the confidence level of the entire team.
He said: “I came to work on their mental toughness.
“Most of the girls are naive, so what I did was to prepare them against perceived psychological problems and how to guide against it.
“We believe that football is science and apart from the physical trainings, there is need for us to at least relax the mind of the players as well as teach them the importance of working as a team.
“What I have taught them goes beyond football.
“It is imperative for them to maintain their confidence, deal with anxiety and anger, while keeping focus on the goal because it will help them to be a complete individuals.”

NFF is learning from the failure of the flamingoes

Falconets coach, Peter Dedevbo, says the team is only 40% ready for the World Cup

One wonders why the Falconets should even venture to Papua New Guinea when the team is 40% prepared for a tournament that kicks off seven (7) days from today. Nigeria is a bloody joke. It is shame the country does not get wiser with the years.

40% ready as how?

Did they just start learning how to play football afresh?

Is there any team in the world that is usually 100% ready for tourneys?

This man don dey look for excuse for failure.

Final 21. Some very interesting players in the team.

Goalkeepers: Sandra Chichi (Sunshine Queens); Christy Ohiaeriaku (IFKO Stersund, Sweden); Onyinye Okeke (Edo Queens);

Defenders: Kemi Famuditi (Confluence Queens); Ugochi Emenayo (Nasarawa Amazons); Esther Elijah (Osun Queens); Mary Ologbosere (Ibom Queens); Lilian Atule (Bayelsa Queens); Glory Ogbonna (Ibom Queens); Patience Kalu (Bayelsa Queens)

Midfielders: Tessy Biahwo (Nasarawa Amazons); Ihuoma Onyebuchi (Sunshine Queens); Adebisi Hameevah (FC Robo); Rasheedat Ajibade (FC Robo); Ogechi Ukwuoma (Delta Queens); Patience Kalu (Bayelsa Queens)

Strikers: Chinwendu Ihezuo (BIIK Kazygurt, Kazakhstan); Yetunde Adeboyejo (Bayelsa Queens); Chinaza Uchendu (Nasarawa Amazons); Charity Reuben (Ibom Queens); Aminat Yakubu (Minsk FC, Belarus); Joy Bokiri (Bayelsa Queens)

We have 2 solid goalies at least. Any of them can be a starter.
Kemi Famuditi was named in the women team of the year for the women league. Solid full back.
Patience Kalu was also in the team of the year. I think we have a team full of good individuals.

The squad looks good enough to advance to the knockout stages. In Aminat Yakubu, I see a dynamic winger that can rip apart opposing defenses.
The only worry would be the team's lack of friendlies with other U-20 teams. Playing only against Nigerian club sides and boys U-17 teams may not equal to adequate prep, as the Flamingoes U-17 campaign showed.

The Falconets have already started on the wrong foot with the alleged inclusion of Rasheedat Ajibade on the team. She is a loser and tends to spread bad luck to any team she has been a member. By the way, the team cannot have two Patience Kalu (Bayelsa Queens).

The NFF is a very wicked organisation. The journey to Papua New Guinea is a farce. Over 30 hours, with almost 12 hour changeovers for a National team! I expect the girls to be weak and massively jetlagged when they get to their destination.
