Anxiety as qualifiers beckon on ‘coach-less’ Flamingoes, Falconets
By David Ngobua and Olusola ‘Jide

It was an American polymath and one of the Founding Fathers of the United States, Benjamin Franklin who once said, “You may delay, but time will not, and lost time is never found again.”. The above aptly captures the dilemma of the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, as the football ruling body is said to be dillydallying even as the qualifying tournaments for the two cadet female national teams, the Flamingoes and falconets beckon on them.

Oshoala scored today

And what a powerfully thumping header it was.

A killer header.

Lol.... See Uchenna Kanu just saying to herself... "My Big sister Don ki my new team today"

Toni Payne too was good.

Stella Mbachu is still one player that hasn't been replaced in the Superfalcons, the Superb Right Winger who can as well come in from the Left side when the occasion arises, many players such as Esther Sunday, Alice Ogebe, Ordega, Loveth Ayila have been labeled the new Mbachu in the past but nono of them were able to replicate her style in the team.
Tony Payne Could possibly become the New Stella Mbachu if she finally play for the Superfalcons of Nigeria.... She have the Speed, Energy and Footworks but that physical side of Mbachu is what I haven't seen yet...

Chikwelu with another goal. This time against Ohale

Ohale also scored and her team came back to beat Chikwelu's side

Danjuma should please stay away from the super falcons job

I would fancy either Ann Chiejine or Mmadu to take the Super Falcons job.

I'm happy to see a new face for the first time handling our Flamingoes. Time is not our friend. Let work start in earnest. We also want to see fresh faces in that team.

..

Mmadu will be a better option to be assisted by Ann

“We have talented players but we are missing a lot in formation, organisation, collective and tactical things to make our women football grow, and I think the Ex-internationals have what it takes to handle the Super Falcons at this time,”
Let's take a Look at Some of the Ex-internationals who can handle the team.

NFF where wrong relieving Coach Florence Omagbemi 2 February 1975 (age 45 years) as the Superfalcons Coach after the 2016 AWCON in Cameroon.... She remains one of the best among the Ex-internationals, Tested and Trust..

Mercy Akide Udoh, 26 August 1975 (age 44) is another option who could do a great job with the team as an NCAA Division 1 coach in USA... The Regent university women soccer team coach is currently one of the Ex- international who can do well handling the team. Mercy Akide-Udoh, former Nigerian football player, was named Regent university athletic department’s ‘coach of the year 2019
The gifted footballer, who completed her first season as head coach of the university’s women’s soccer program, was an unanimous choice for the award, voted for by all the coaches of the Virginia beach-based varsity in the United States in 2019. She played professional football in the US which is regarded as the Best Country as far as Women Football is concerned, She would bring in that American zeal of You can do it, the Athletics aspect of their game...

Maureen Mmadu 7 May 1975 (age 44 years),

As a player, she represented Avaldsnes IL, a First Division team based on Norway’s west coast. She played for several other teams in Norway’s Toppserien as well for Linköpings FC and QBIK in the Swedish Damallsvenskan. she previously played for Klepp IL in the Norwegian Toppserien. Mmadu played for Kolbotn in Oslo, Norway, for the 2010 season, helping them to third place in the Toppserien league. She was the first Nigerian player to make over 100 appearances for the Nigeria women’s national football team including appearing at four FIFA Women’s World Cups as well as the 2000 and 2004 Summer Olympics. she's the only Nigerian women coach to have handled a premiership club in Europe.

Ann Chiejiene 2 February 1974 (age 46)

I honestly think NFF should approach Florence Omagbemi again with Mercy Udoh as her number two

PDPGuy:

Neither of them!

Mmadu is just a UEFA C License coach, I think. Don’t think she is qualified enough. She can be an assistant though

A biennial Confederations Cup for women won't be a bad idea. FIFA could invite 16 nations to participate in the tournament, which would be popular among fans.

It will make serious sense. Women competitions are rarely organized.

By Niyi Busari

It is common sense to learn from the mistakes one committed and try as much as possible not to repeat same when the situation arises again.

The Nigeria Women U17 National Team will on the 28th February, 2020 slug it out with Guinea in their quest for the FIFA Women’s U17 World Cup in India.

In 2018, the Nigeria Football Federation appointed Coach Bala Nkiyu as the head coach of the Flamingos just 10 days to the crucial encounter against the Cameroonian U17 Women National Team.

Despite his hard work and prayers, the team failed to qualify for the world cup as Cameroon bundled out the Flamingos.

On the two-legged games, Cameroon recorded a 2-2 draw in Nigeria but the 1-1 draw in Yaounde was not enough, hence Cameroon U17 Women National team picked the ticket at the expense of the most populous African country.

After Nigeria crashed out, the NFF relieved Bala Nkiyu of his duty as the head coach of the Flamingos.

Fast forward to 2020, the same Flamingos will in three weeks face Guinea in the 2020 FIFA World Cup qualifier in a two-legged affair.

In not less than 24 days to the encounter, the NFF has not appointed a substantive head coach but has named assistant coaches, invited and imposed 21 players on the appointed coaches.

According to the Director, Technical Department of the NFF, Bitrus Bewarang, the federation handed the appointment of all the age grade national teams to PriceWater as consultant.

As at the time of compiling this report, the stand-in-coach of the Flamingos, Olowookere Bankole do not know if he will remain as stand-in-head coach or assistant when Nigeria faces Guinea on 28th February, 2020.

Watching their training on Tuesday at the FIFA Goal Project, Package B, Moshood Abiola Stadium, Abuja, some of the girls though look young and eligible to play U17 but the coach spent most of the time directing some of the players on how to control, pass and positioning on and off the ball.

Olowookere, a hard-working coach who loves working under pressure admitted that the time is short but expressed confidence in his lads and assured Nigerians that his girls will beat Guinea irrespective of who the head coach is at the time of the match.

However, if we fail to progress like in 2018 due to lack of proper planning, the NFF who delays the preparations for the qualifiers, appoints the assistant coaches and imposed the invited players on them will turn back to put the blame on the coaches, sack them and continue in office.

Oshoala scores against Atletico in the super cup

That's a Goal even if I'm not a referee, considering the Physical tussle and how she was able to get past her markers...
Anyway the referee knows Best.

Don't mind that Ref. She just couldn't take it. Lol... Oshoala should have had two goals vs Atletico yesterday. But it's still okay, as her goal was the winning goal.

BascoVanVeli:


Wetin dey do that referee na? That's a clean goal.

The referee really made a great mistake there because there wasn't a foul from Oshoala ... That France Defender fell down after hitting her left leg against Oshoala own, Oshoala was even the one who's supposed to fall down not #19 Aïssatou Tounkara..
That's a Clean goal not a Foul ��

Me thinks Lyon coming for Oshoala made Barcelona figure out their priority. She starts in the final of the super cup and Hermosa is on the bench for the second straight match

Dem for no behave naa.... Lol


Meanwhile Barca already 2-0 up... Oshoala yet to score but you know that will come soon enough.
