I'm happy for the friendly. Hopefully, the coaches were able to fine tune the formation well. Looking forward to Sunday's friendly against Slovakia. Another chance to fine tune team cohesion and communication. Results dont matter in games like this. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Overview of the South korea Women Football team Women’s football in South Korea has made huge progress in recent years, and the national team heads to France with aims of reaching the knockout stage. In 2010, South Korea won the Under-17 World Cup and also reached the semifinals of the Under-20 World Cup. With many of those players still involved, now with the senior team, this can justifiably be called Korea’s Golden Generation. The coach, Yoon Deok-yeo, prefers to use a 4-2-3-1 or 4-1-4-1 formation, but also likes to tinker to have many different variations of those two constellations. The most important player is, of course, Ji So-yun, who has been playing for Chelsea since 2014. Here, quality and experience is a huge help on and off the pitch. South Korea have another outstanding creative attacking midfielder among their ranks, Lee Min-a, although it might be tricky for the coach to have both on the pitch at the same time. Lee’s stamina and creativity can be very useful for the team, but her inclusion could mean that Ji has to play more defensively as Lee prefers a more attack-minded position. The midfield anchor is Cho So-hyun, who can do pretty much everything. The West Ham United player has over 100 international caps and is the captain of the team (she also captained them in Canada in 2015). If she is in top form, Korea have a chance of qualifying for the knockout stage. If there is one main weakness with this team, it is the defense. Yoon has had his two first-choice goalkeepers out injured for long spells recently and there seems to be at least one high-profile mistake per game from the defenders. Moreover, they always look uncomfortable when they play against physically strong teams.

Schemerkhiz: I think the Superfalcons should be able to overpower the Korean side, they might be fast but the pace of Ordega and Oshoala should be a problem for them also Oparanozie physical style should also trouble them alot......although one of them is probably going to come from the bench 1 Like |

Oshoala On Fire As Falconets Rip Haladas Viktoria Apart By Iwedi Ojinmah23 mins ago The Nigeria women's team came from a goal down to claim a 5-1 victory over Haladas Viktoria at the Király Sports Centre in Szombathely. A brace from Asisat Oshoala plus a strike each from Chiwendu Ihezuo, Francisca Ordega, and Ogonna Chukwudi ensured Thomas Dennerby's side completed the fightback. The African queens were aiming to step up their Women's World Cup preparations with a morale-boosting win against Hungary's topflight campaigners. The Hungarians made a fine start to the game in front of their fans as they gained the lead after just seven minutes, capitalising on goalkeeper Tochukwu Oluehi's accidental slip. In the 32nd minute, China-based Ordega set up Ihezuo, who eventually finished off brilliantly to level matters for the Super Falcons. Ordega fired the Africans in front through Ngozi Okobi's corner kick seven minutes after the restart of the encounter. Substitute Oshoala increased the tally in the 70th minute through Chinaza Uchendu's assist before being set up by Uchenna Kanu for her second of the game two minutes later. In the 84th minute, substitute Chukwudi got on the scoresheet courtesy of Anam Imo's assist to guarantee the comeback win for the African champions. After the win, the Super Falcons will face Slovakia in a friendly on Sunday, who they defeated 4-3 at the Cyprus Women's Cup two months ago. 1 Like |

Ngozi Ebere Jersey no.4 Date of birth: 05.08.1991(27yrs) Height: 168 Club: Arna Bjornar, Norway Position: Left Back World Cup appearance: (2015) Among close watchers, the former Rivers Angels Left back is regarded as one of the most disciplined defenders in the country. She is known for her Speed, dribbles, accurate passes, What she does down the left side of defence is a joy to behold. The former Rivers Angels star is fine defender who can take on any defence when she is on the attack and can stop any striker that comes her way.

She later moved over to Barcelona FA of Cyprus where she continued her goalscoring form. She currently plays for Arna Bjornar of Norway.

Chidinma Nkeruka Okeke Jersey no.20 Date of Birth: 11-08-2000 (18yrs) Height: 168 Position: Defender Club: Fc Robo, Nigeria FIFA World Cup Appearances: ( Debut ) It is not always easy to convert playes from their nature playing positions yet they perform. That is the case with the former Falconet star. Chidinma Okeke started as a striker for FC Robo of Lagos where she formed a formidable partnership with Rasheedat Ajibade. However, at the 2018 U20 women’s world cup, Coach Christopher Danjuma converted her to a defender. Since then, Chidimma has not disappointed anyone in her new position as she tackles fearlessly and with her height, is an advantage to the team when there is a set piece The Fc Robo defender would however be contented watching the matches from the bench as there is no way she can wrest the central defence position from Onome Ebi. Strengths —Hardworking, agile, Strong, Fast, Very good marker, Can use both feets. Weaknesses —Need Experience.

naptu2:The writer is not a keen follower of Nigerian female football. I think only Sam Ahmadu has been keenly up to date with womens football. Imagine saying the team plays 4-4-2, something we havent played in a long long time. I expect that by next week, all these lazy journalists who have been watching the team from afar will start giving lazy opinion on how the team plays. A lot will be surprised that we now play like Burnley, while they expect us to play like Crystal Palace. I just hope they dont over criticize the ladies. 1 Like |

"The feeling is it's going to be hard to score against us," "If we can get to the knockout stages this year we will be very happy about that. Maybe we can be a nightmare for our opponents. If they think 'we can beat Nigeria, they're only ranked 39' my opinion, and that's from the heart, we're definitely better than the ranking we have.
