Deltamani:


It’s a matter of Coach giving her a Call Up… No Switch required as she hasn’t played for England at any of the age grade level..

Another ACL Injury

USWNT and Gotham player Midge Purce announces she's torn her ACL. She's out for the Season and won't be at the Olympics.

And the both of them the Spot they will be fighting for in the team is very tough and are currently occupied by very talented Players too… Anyways both bring height to the midfield and attack!

Sad one, I do feel for her though… But again she’s more like Monday Gift of the USWNT, She will perform today and end up doing the unexpected (average performance) the next opportunity....!

The game is exactly 7 days away, that is 1 week away. "Less than 2 weeks" makes it seem long. Lol

Are you afraid
South African football has improved in the last 5 years
Like they’ve caught up
They seem to pass better and are comfortable with keeping possession
Both male and female teams have won African medals within this period
I hope Nigeria isn’t just banking on talent to get us through
It will go down to préparation & who wants it more
Football experience can no longer help us because they’ve got it too
I hope Echegini & Esther play significant roles in the fixture
They’ve somewhat been impressive lately

Afraid? At all. While I agree that South African football has improved, it's still our ticket to lose. Really do hope Randy do not setup the girls to play scared. Like you said, we have to show that we want it more.

The girls better show they really want it more especially those Veterans in the team now? There’s no way Osinachi Ohale will be in the team for about 15yrs and not play in the Olympic Games… Asisat Oshoala, Halimatu Ayinde must show that they want it more and the Young lads will have to break it up too that they don’t want History in the past years to repeat itself!.

Infact the whole team should be hungry of the ticket. My only happiness right now is that the Midfield look pretty okay than before when we met South Africa.. The Presence of Ucheibe, Abiodun, Echegini will be able to change things..!

Apt. Thing is the veterans in the team will determine the entire outlook of the team. If people like Oshoala, Ohale etc who haven't been to the Olympics their entire career do not show that they want it desperately, the younger folks will just tow the line. Whether on the pitch or on the bench, they have the lead their colleagues to glory.

If Echegini and Esther is to start, Randy should be bold enough to Drop Tony Payne and Asisat Oshoala from the Starting 11!

Which line up do you go with??

Exactly… Imagine in the whole team Only Tochukwu Oluehi who have been in the team since 2006 that has been to the Olympic Games, the rest veterans need to step and Tochi really need to play a big role too by also guiding them on how and what it takes to play in the Olympic..

Asisat Oshoala really do need this to cement her legacy as the greatest cause In another 4Yrs she will be playing the role of offering Experience!..

Desire Oparanozie did say in one of her interviews after retirement that her major regrets playing in the National Team was not been able to play in the Olympics and also turning down a huge offer from the NWSL because she had already settled down in France then..

If we are to follow history, this is Asisat's last opportunity to go to the Olympics. I really do doubt she'll be in the team in 4 years. Historically, only goalkeepers and defenders have a longer career in the Super Falcons. A few midfielders like Perpetua and Uncle where the outliers for midfielders. Very really do we see strikers aged 34 and above in the team. Abeg correct me if I'm wrong, I just can't off the top of my head recollect any. Maybe Stella Mbachu is the only forward but she wasn't as active in the later stages.

Mercy Akide retired under 30, Oparanozie too under 30. Forwards traditionally don't last long in the team as they easily get replaced. Oshoala should see this as her last opportunity even if there's a chance she'll make the next one.

You’re right to some extent, But Stella Mbachu (45yrs) stayed very long in the SuperFalcons just as Perpetua Nkwocha, She stop being a starter in 2014 and decided to retire after the 2014 WAFCON, if it was some players I know they would have gone to the 2015 World Cup in CANADA to occupy space even when they knew they weren’t playing in that top level again…!

At 30+ to 34 I think she was still very influential 2010 down till 2014 when she was already 30+ she was still starting as was our major set-piece taker then at some point was taking penalties ahead of Nkwocha.

But I can’t really remember any one again who was very influential in the team at 30+ from Midfield to Attack Starting games or a regular Sub!

Maybe Maureen Mmadu, Effiowan Ekpo but in the era 2007/8 they were already finding it difficult to start games for the Falcons..

So You’re Correct, Maybe I forgot one or two more players!

Yea Stella Mbachu, that's why I put her name. You ordered probably missed that. Not sure we've had any striker that's been 30+ with significant minutes in the team the last 2 decades.

The only reason Asisat will still be relevant in this team is of the current crop of young players do not step us. The only reason historically that strikers don't stay as long as midfielders and defenders on the team is because we've ALWAYS had great replacements. Most if not all of our notable strikers since 2008 joined the Super Falcons as regulars before they were 20.

Cynthia Uwak was in the team as early as 2004, sje was 17. She was key to the team at the 2007 world cup and 2008 olympics.

Vera Okolo was at the 2004 Olympics. She was 19. She was even nominated for Player of the year that year.

In recent history, Desire Oparanozie and Francesca Ordega began their Super Falcons journey in 2011 and we're both at thr World cup that year. They were both 17 yrs old.

Asisat Oshoala was named best player at the 2014 WAFCON. She was 19 yrs old. Rash Ajibade was 18 when she became active with the Falcons. I could go on and on.

We've seem flashes the last few years but no young players lately is making a case for themselves like we used to know. It's even more funny considering attack is one of the positions the falcons aren't that strong in at the moment.

People like Flourish and Ajakaye need to wake up. They seem to be the most probably in my opinion to get into the team and except they work very hard they will likely be over 20 before they settle into the team. The correct crop of u17 and u20 sadly aren't showing the kind of promise we are used to particularly at the forward position. Paradoxical it is on defence we seem to be getting players now. Who would have thought that in the last 2 years, only 2 age grade players have cemented a place for themselves in thr Super Falcons and both are defender in Demehin and Imuran. Even the recent invitation of an u20 team member is still a Defender. Times and seasons I guess.

This is a great initiative, even though I think we should have moved past this. With good management, the Super Falcons should be a brand big enough to bring in the crowd. And no one should cite the economy excuse. Thousands of fans still pay every week (no matter how small) to see their NPFL teams.

The person in charge of marketing this stuff is really good. Using Alozie as the poster girl was a smart move.

When last did Oshoala turn up for Nigeria
You guys are hyping this girl too much o especially when she’s not in form
American League isn’t the best league in the world of late
Best league if you ask me is Spainish
This is South Africa we’d play

They’ve got local teams that won caf champions league too. Male & Female
Our girls better come correct in the home game
I believe we will qualify though
Our squad is better than the last one that played them I believe
No Abiodun, Echegini, Okoronkwo back then
I hope Abuja stadium gets 30k spectators
