Rofiat Adenike Imuran, #14, is quite a very good, strong, fast and technical left back. She, I like. wink

She did give away the ball once though but I think aside that, she rarely put a foot wrong. Very good LB coming through at this level.

As in eh, the thing tire me. 3 lasses covered the central defensive lines with 2 others assigned to each wing defensively and not to add that their deeplying midfielder also fell back to choke up that third of the pitch when need be.

They packed the bloody bus and depended solely on their speed on the counter as their only attacking outlets to win corners from which their obviously planned routines didn't work against us as it did against Canada.

Kudos to our girls for outsmarting and out-doing the Koreans in a game of tactical endurance.



Like it was pretty obvious what their game plan was

The knew their only chance at winning was to ensure we didn't play

So na to just choke everywhere and frustrate us in the process.

God pass them sha

It was a boring match because the Koreans wanted it boring.

What do you expect when you have a 5 person defence wall

They needed to short circuit the fluidity of the Falconets movement especially in the final third and they succeeded

Kudos to the Koreans, they were very disciplined

Alas, a moment of brilliance was all we needed

True.

Hopefully we'll display similar moments of brilliance on a constant basis.

That our defense is tight. You see Imuran, Demehin, Oshobukola and Alani- We should quickly move them to the falcons.

Good to see the Ghanaian Fans there Supporting the Falconet.. It's a pity that their team is out already. Better Luck next time Ghana

Ghanaian football is in serious decline

The earlier they realize this and do something the better

The world cup ticket they got by a stroke of luck could give them the false impression that everything is ok but it isn't

Addie's the males team going to the word cup (which again was by luck), it's been terrible for them

Dangerous. We are always building. 2015 was supposed to be a new crop. But it did not gell. One mistake will be to retire all the Falcon players and replace them with these younger girls.

Sometimes, at all at all bad pass. I will say still keep him till the world cup
.. Offourse, we cant retire all of them... Infact, i believe we have the best team talent wise in the whole of Africa, likes of Oshoala, Ajibade, Ayinde, Ucheibe, the Paynes, Plumtre et al ... We just have Nuga/Waug/Nupoga coach for the most successful team in Africa. The man is punching way above is weight.

Save the name: Esther Onyenezide, she wears the number 8 jersey. What a strike! She tried it in the first half and the goalkeeper saved it and in the 83rd minute, the goalkeeper had no answers for that missile

That goal looks like one of the goal of the tournament contender

Fantastic midfielder. Esther Onyenezide, take a bow. Falconets flying high in Costa Rica

Flourish Chioma Sabastine. The Star-Girl of this 2022 Class.

An excellent ball carrier. A wonderful take-on specialist. Her ability to switch wings and still be as effective is quite remarkable.

One thing that actually wows me about her is the ease with which she can move or twist her body in 3-Dimensions, which enables her to maneuver in and out of tight spaces like some Survey/Recon Corps warrior in Attack on Titan Manga series.. lol


Flourish Chioma Sabastine is the complete Forward Menace capable of playing through the middle, and on both wings.

The Koreans followed her all game and left her with at least 2 markers every damn time yet she was still able to cause some havoc like winning that freekick on our right wing in the final third after beating 2 markers before being fouled. FK from which Onyenezide attempted with her left foot.

This shows you just how dangerous Sabastine can be in any phase of the game. A Complete Forward Menace.

Congratulations Falconet


Hopefully we would get a fit again Deborah Abeodun, Chioma Olise who came in for her tried her best but Abeodun is way ahead..

Goalkeeper Oyono getting better and better.

Oyono got 6+ saves in this game. Confidence building.

I know we've been recommending many of these girls to the senior team due to their performance so far. But i won't lie, Three need automatic drafting to the Falcons.


The goal scorer-Onyenezide
Demehin
Rofiat Imuran.

This will reduce that rubbish makeshifting at least. Plus we will have a skillful midfielder will a trick or two. We currently lack that.

Another good game from the girls.. We dominated them again... To be honest, I was quite surprised that the Koreans tried to park the bus. Obviously,they respected the fact that we posed a serious threat to them.. I feel we could have scored more if we time our shots better.. We had some good chances that were wasted... Coach need to work on that...

On to the quater final we go!

Lol. grin Which ginger? Na you dey the field?

Maybe cos I've been watching the age grade teams for quite a long time maybe. I don't think we're as powerful as we used to be. I set high standards for them in my head,

As against the France game, we improved in our passing. By a huge margin. Very impressive. But we must improve in our attack seriously. Mostly individual play. It's good for now btw.

I've not seen some of the other games. No time. I won't estimate or predict again so I don't turn out wrong again. Whether positive or negative.

Over 90% of players at the U20 are college students. Just so you know. The playing ground is not the same.

Where did you get this data from? A fact check of the squad list on Wikipedia shows that majority of the players at the tournament are assigned to a pro women football team.. They may still be in college or even high school,but they are still attached to a club..
You appear to be suggesting that our girls are more matured than them professionally...

Flourish Sebastine gives me Messi vibes! Yes, that’s the impact she’s had in both games.

Kudos to the team for notching Nigeria’s 20th win in the tournament as well. I noticed the pass accuracy improved, but the decisiveness in the final 3rd needs improvement.

We just need to study the FC Robo model and duplicate same across the country. A platform that gave us Asisat Oshoala, Rasheedat Ajibade, Monday Gift and now Onyenezide isn't one to be toyed with.

One may be luck, but four should be given special attention.
