In alignment with you.
Debbie was absolutely NOT ready for the Super Falcons at that time and thrusting her into the team would have set her up for failure.
The coaching and onboarding path Randy took with her her was deliberate and is setting her up for huge success. Baby steps works best for her and you all saw the ginormous progress she has made in the few months she has been under Randy’s focused tutorship.
I recall debating this with a few folks her months ago. She had a few things to work on still - like her speed on and off the ball. However, she is on track to be a world class DM (and she is still a freshman in College!).

Speaking of which, I wish Onyenezide wasn’t rushed and had taken a similar path towards her development. Unfortunately, that is not the case. But, let’s see what happens…

Deltamani:
The truth is Regina Otu was ahead in the pecking order and was pretty inform before the 2022 WAFCON but something led to another and she didn’t find her form back…

Regina Otu was one of Thomas Dennerby favorites Home Based players then before she moved abroad…!

In all we can now boost of having Ayinde, Ucheibe, (Abiodun, and not ‘Abeodun’) as top options in CDM/Box2Box role before any other can come in…

Not to mention the monetization aspect which could generate much needed funds.

This lady reports to the NFF media head, potty-mouth Olajire, the epitome of incompetence. No surprise here!

lovewins:
Again, the NFF is filled with incompetence. Tobex isn't the problem, she's only a symptom of the problem. There's is no desire for change and no system of accountability. Funny thing is, improving their social media outlook could cost the NFF next to nothing should they decide to take it serious. There are youth coopers who are extremely skilled at these things who will gladly serve in the NFF for free or with little incentives.

Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner!
That was a midfield maestro clinic she put up today.

The experience she has gained in the NCAA in such a short time, and all the focused training under Randy and the Pitt coaching team on full display here. Midfield generalship, football IQ and fully understanding of her roles and responsibilities to the letter! All I can say is: wow!

Can't wait to see JOE’s performance in the midfield with her.

isan:
Abiodun had this people for lunch

Hopefully, that should be the last of her for the U20 team.
She was terrible!

Deltamani:
Nop… Bakare Shukurat

Was this the Anderline girl?

Deltamani:
Falconet game on against Tanzania

I see same Goalkeeping Errors Cost us both goals conceded against Tanzania 🇹🇿 U20… The team isn’t bad though but really need to look into the Goalkeeping department…

Considering the fact that Demehin was schemed out of the final running (she would have easily won based on her body of work for club and country) , don’t be surprised if the Ghanaian girl or the Arab girl wins it.

These awards are becoming a joke (actually, the CAF Awards have lost any semblance of credibility).

You always have a stupid Nigerian who would vote for a non-Nigerian (instead of their own), like the idiot who didn’t vote for Osimhen and other examples…

Deltamani:
The future of African football! 🌟

The top5 shortlist for the Young Player of Year Award (Women) 😎

#CAFAwards2023

Even though that was a risky run, that was a brilliant goal (or no goal).

I hope its not apathy on the part of the players, not wanting to play for the idiots running the ship now (Madugu or whatever his name is).

Deltamani:
Not injury, she scored with a great run into the Box..
Should I say VISA issue or something else but not injury at all..

Definately, not for injury reasons...
She was just warming up to play in the ongoing derby a few mins ago

lovewins:
This again is prove we have incompetents running our football. Imagine an official of the NFF admitting suprise to Oshoala and Onyi's absences. Even as a fan, I know why they couldn't make it. As Deltamani reported yesterday, Oshoala is out injured and wouldn't be featuring for Barcelona too, while JOE has a championship game with FSU within the same time period. It's funny the NFF official tried to make it seem scandalous. Not sure why Christy pulled out but she has her reasons

With these withdrawals we obviously have a totally different squad now. They should still be able to get the job done but it may be a little difficult with many new entrants.

Deltamani and BascoVanVeli, are the home based players introduced the best we have? Are they one to look our for?

But...
Most College (University) Fall semester exams week are from Nov 27 through Dec 8. and I will be shocked if Abiodun makes the trip to Nigeria for this game.

Calling these NFF people incompetent is being generous. They are imbeciles, pure and simple.

Deltamani:
That Justin be spitting nonsense… Asisat Oshoala haven’t Played Barcelona past two games and the rumors have been blowing around that she isn’t fit cus of the hamstring injury, so they have been managing her till they ruled her out yesterday..!

Everyone knows too well that btw Onyi and Deborah one of them won’t be available for the game because of the College Cup, Anyway we should be glad that Deborah will be available to filled in the vacuum left by Ucheibe and Ayinde, which is my greatest joy right now..

Anyways I just hope NFF ain’t experimenting things with this below average Justin Maduga… We need a Coach!!

Done.

Deltamani:
Please guys let’s vote 🗳️ for our own Asisat Oshoala 🇳🇬
She’s far behind Caicedo and the rest…

Show your support for Asisat Oshoala! Vote for her at https://vote.globesoccer.com/vote/best-women-player-2023/ as the BEST WOMEN'S PLAYER! 💫

Great goal by J.O.E.
This kid is in another zone.

Sad for Debbie, as Pitt and Randy crash out of the NCAA tournament, having won the most games ever in the Pitt program. Lost 5 games, out of 24 matches (including pre-season), with 3 of the 5 losses to No1 ranked FSU.

Bascovanveli2:
Jennifer makes it 3-0 vs Pitt. Seems Debbie's season is over

Mommy wa!
She must be captain by fire or by force.

Just thinking...perhaps she's afraid she would flunk the CAF or UEFA coaching exam?

Deltamani:
DANNAZ vs Naija Ratels

https://www.facebook.com/100063809234812/videos/3492793334271119

Don’t believe she’s ready or good enough.
For example, she always throws her arms up whenever she heads the ball - a very backward way of heading.
Thats a penalty waiting to happen. Not only that, she seems quite slow on and off the ball.

BascoVanVeli:
Comfort Folorunsho

Hint...never said the ladies you mentioned are not Naija age. In fact, in all likelyhood, they all are.
I wasn't going to name names...

Deltamani:
Whaooo just because it’s Maureen Umeughochukwu now she’s no Longer 21yrs and her age is Naija Age, but the likes of Demehin, Monday Gift, Peace Efih and Ucheibe that are of age bracket are not Naija age but Foreign Age😂🤗😂

Nawa… Anyway what matters here is her doing well and playing at the top for level when given the chance to play for the SuperFalcons, I do tip her as Osinachi Ohale successor💯

But wait ooo in 2010 Osinachi Ohale walk in straight from the U20 to the SuperFalcons Starting 11 where there were Big Defenders like Christy George, Ulunma Jerome, Lilian Cole and Kikelomo Ajayi on the verge of retirement then..

Randy gave Macleans a chance and it was clear she wasn't good enough.
She blew her chance, just as Roosa Ariyo did.
I also see the social experiment the Madugu coach performed has failed already.

The Falcons need to infuse 3 players at the moment:
FW: Edna Imade - 5'11 Granada CF striker
MF: Elisha Sulola - 5'10" CF Valencia Midfielder
CD: Maureen Umeugochukwu - (Deltamani's favorite)
The first two are young and have a very bright future ahead. I have little confidence the age Umeh is purporting to be is correct (Naija age).

And no, I am not a fan of Gift Monday, as she is very inconsistent.

My error

Deltamani:
Wasn’t expecting this kind of Mistake from you…. Esther Okoronkwo has played ( league games this season scoring (2).

Again she was on the Bench on Saturday (18/11/223) here but didn’t come in..

She Started their 2nd to last game which was on the 12th here against Levante Las Planas..

Then how come she hasn’t played for 4weeks as you have just said..??

Yes, my bad

GeneralDae:
If I'm not mistaken, I think Okoronkwo played two weeks ago when Monday James scored two goals.

As usual, the NFFs stupidity reigns supreme.
Both Echegini and Abiodun’s teams will clash in the NCAA women’s Soccer Championship elite 8 on November 24, with one of them going into the final 4.
So definitely, one of them will be unable to attend the match.
Yet the bufoons who drew up the list didn’t even bother to check and make sure those being invited did not have any previous engagements.
Also, the stupid selectors failed to realize that Okoronkwo has not played a match in close to 4 weeks, and then you pile the team up with some no namers who are simply not good enough to play at this level.
What a bunch of morons!

lovewins:
I hope this puts to rest those who were insisting Randy drew up the previous rosters.

You and Deltamani no dey serious

BascoVanVeli:
U Don come

Clearly another man.
CAF needs to clamp down on all this nonsense!
It’s getting ridiculous!!

Deltamani:
All this Zambians sef… Prisca Chilufya

I am sorry, but y'all are grossly overrating these two young ladies. They are up and coming, but certainly NOT anywhere close to Caicedo.
No way!

Honestly, Onyi is good also, but is not that good in comparison also. We all need to temp down all these comparisons, as neither of the three ladies in question even play (or have ever played) at the level and caliber of competition as Caicedo.

Deltamani:
Ajakaye is definitely not up to Linda Caicedo level yet even though she’s very quick which is her major asset..

As for E Onyenezide and F Sabastine they ain’t far from it maybe I will give Caicedo 70%, Onyenezide 55% Sabastine 55% all over 100%


I will rate Onyi Echegini at same level with Linda Caicedo and the only difference been that she isn’t Playing Pro yet..

A 5% difference btw both.. but Precision in front of goal Onyi is way better than Linda Caicedo.

Ah ah...'Calm down', Deltamani - as one of the contributors on this forum always says to me .

Look, Caicedo is ranked this high for a reason and yes, she IS deserving of the title.
Salma only blossomed for Spain at the world cup (where she was not even a starter until later on in the competition) and before then, was a bit part player for Barcelona, where she was also a bit part player.

Caicedo, on the other hand, played in ALL the grade level WWCs and excelled. She was highly instrumental in making Colombia reach a quarterfinal spot.

For me, Caicedo was more influential to women's football than Salma was this year. By far and very well deserved!

They are cheats!

She won 2022 coach of the year for that.
Are you saying she will win it on that account again, in a WWC year?
All the nominations from Nigeria were largely on account of our WWC performance.

In light of the above, I ask again, what has been her body of work in 2023 that is deserving of a 'coach of the year' award?

daveP:
you have a point but winning wafcon will make her take this.

Again, what was Ellis’ body of work in 2023 that makes her more deserving of Coach of the yr?

Nigeria had a way more challenging path in the WWC than any other African team and left due to penalties. We played 3 top 10 teams, 2 of whom made it into the semifinals (England and Australia).

Randy definitely performed much better than Ellis. Not even close!

daveP:
That's true. Ellis and Nnadozie sure

This shouldn’t even be a debate.
Not a single one of the others played every single minute of the WWC and excelled.

Demehin all the way!

daveP:
Demehin vs Comfort

But this should be Demehin's imo

Coach of the year Desiree Ellis on account of what?
WAFCON was last yr - she hardly did a damn thing this year. Okay, SA made it to the rd of 16. But they lost to all the top 10 teams they played.

Randy played 3 top ten teams and didn’t lose a single game in regular time. That was way more difficult than SA’s path.

lovewins:
Coach of the year should be Desiree Ellis

GK of the year is undisputable Chiamaka Nnadozie

Young player of the year is Blessing Demehin, Ajakaye isn't even top 3.

Player of the year is between Oshoala/Kundananji/Kgatlana/Chawinga/Nnadozie

Cut Nicole some slack.
She’s still a kid playing with a club side consisting of some of the very best players in the world.
She is tracking very well for her development.
Took a bit for Imuran to debut but see how well she has progressed so far.

Congrats to Nicole on her debut!

Deltamani:
League debut..!

But Nicole Payne really need to step up Big time, As she’s Playing in one of the Biggest Club and One of the toughest League in the World..

Debbie Abiodun opens the score as Pitt routs Ohio State 6-0 in the first round if NCAA Women's Championship.
Great start for Pitt!

GOALLLLLLLL ‼️@Abiodundebby100 puts Pitt on the board first off of @landy_mertz assist!

That person cannot be a woman. That is a grown ass man!
I don't know why Africans like to deceive themselves.

Deltamani:
Her goals single-handedly eliminated Cameroon U17 over a year ago during the U17 World Cup qualifiers and she trended because of her Physique then..

I guess you didn’t notice then, she’s playing in Saudi Arabia now..


Watch that Clip and see how she plays, more Physical than the likes of Banda and Chawinga I think..
https://www.youtube.com/live/mVPbVxWZL5g?si=NZXcgI2mxa9HXLkg

How is this person a ‘woman’??
I mean, seriously?

Deltamani:
No report of 🇹🇿 18yrs Star Player Clara Lavunga joining them yet..

Well, it is.
Next thing would be another Onyenezide acolyte will build off his comments and accuse the coach of not liking her and preferring his ‘favorites’ (to respectfully burrow a word recently used in a recent debate on this forum).

BascoVanVeli:
It's not that serious. All he asked was a question
