That's even going too far up the hierarchy. She is not even in the league of the following: Esther Onyenezide, Suliat Abideen, Peace Efih, Favor Emmanuel, Chioma Olise, or even Super Falcon-in-waiting, Ayooluwa Oke. Sorry, but she has no business being in this squad. None, whatsoever. dkay51: |
Nothing to dog-walk, if you watched the pre-match conference comments by Nnadozie. She did state that several of the Beninoise players ply their trade in the French Ligue 1 and are no pushovers. lovewins: |
I noticed that also... she has really lost a step or two. Whatever happened to that Isah lady who had a few cameos in the WAFCON? I thought she was impressive and potentially, one for the future. lovewins: |
Sorry, but I have to disagree with you. Truth is she is WAY too lightweight. I mean, how many times has she been bundled off the ball? She lacks any power in her shooting, which are mostly directionless. She really is out of her league here as there is nothing really exciting about her game. . Bascovanveli2: |
Oh wow! Benin just hit the post, off the parry of a shot deflected by Nnadozie. Great save! |
The broadcaster was busy showing a replay of a foul when Esther Okoronkwo scored the second goal. Nice assist by Abiodun. |
It might be a stretch for Okoronkwo to win the W-APOY, considering the exploits of the others you listed. Not to mention the fact that Ajibade won the WAFCON player of the tournament, even though really didn't do anything else at club level. Okoronkwo, on the other hand, had been excelling in the Canadian league. It's a tough one to guess who will win it. Deltamani: |

Thanks for the video creation. I guess that should teach me not to watch Telemundo highlights when I am half asleep - I must have dozed off when she came on and it is obvious that she had a good game and complimented her team quite well. Ayooluwa Oke was quite impressive with her overall ball skills and looks like a decent prospect for the Super Falcons. BascoVanVeli: |

It's more that a 'belief' but a 'fact', implicitly corroborated by some of the players. QueenJazz: |
Word! lovewins: |
I will be surprised if Debbie Ajibade, Osi Ohale and Chiwendu Ihezuo are able to honor the invite. This is because they will be neck deep in the CONCACAF-W Champions league in session, as Washington Spirit and Pachuca made it to the next round, which is in the next couple of weeks. On another note, kudos to Joy Omewa who finally made the team (about time!). A straight 'like-for-like' replacement for Iffy Onumonu who recently retired. Pssst (side jist) ... looks like Toni Payne might be on the naughty list - heard there was a bust up between a player and the coaching staff, leading to that player blacklisted after the first game of the recent WAFCON. Most unfortunate, as Nigeria has a dark history of doing things like this. lovewins: |
To be honest, watched the highlights around midnight and was feeling sleepy. Will watch again and reassess. BascoVanVeli: |
Talked about her some time ago. She came in during the 1st half, but based on the highlights I watched late last night, had a ho-hum game. I plan on watching the full 90 to assess her performance. She is still young and can add some depth to the squad. She played in the unders (17 and 20) for the US and yes, she is open to play for Nigeria, pending her switch. BascoVanVeli: |
Any word on Ayooluwa OKE , who plays for Pachuca in Mexico, alongside Chiwendu and Osi Ohale. Real good attacking midfielder slash right back. Tons of age grade experience in the US set up. Deltamani: |
Not to mention her goal against Canada, the cheeky backheel. Brilliant! Thanks for the memories, Iffy! 🙏🏾💕 Wishing you all the very best in your future endeavors, my Engineer 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 ekehopp2: |
@Deltamani, Now that Onumonu has officially retired from Professional football, now might be the time to integrate Joy Omewa into the squad. Also, what is the status of Edna Imade? |
Blistering hat trick by Gift Monday. Pretty much destroyed Alozie’s Houston Dash this afternoon in DC. Seems to be playing with a lot more confidence and control now. Cameo by Abiodun and Alozie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01Q3ervD9Xc |
Wasn't the #3 the one that Magudu took to WAFCON as a home based? I see they are trying to recycle her through the system, as she was not particularly impressive during the WAFCON. Also, the #10...I mean, how many times must this girl be recycled through the age grade teams? Between the U17s and the U20s, she must have done multiple tours of duty. Enough of this nonsense, please. She is not good enough and probably will never be. Time to explore other more prospective options! BascoVanVeli: |
This kid is a warrior, no doubt. Sorry, but why is she not a contender for WAPOY (Woman African Player of the year) again? She most certainly deserves to be in the mix. Most definitely! BascoVanVeli: |
Moji Ayodele, Goalie for New Jersey Institute of Tech NJIT (NCAA D1), who will become a senior next year and likely join the NWSL draft. Most definitely, one to keep an eye on. Good height, very agile and good command of her area. She seems to be a decent keeper and could definitely be in the mix for our Super Falcons. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHjHxZ2tQQY?si=G-w47Z3_TW4K1-jw |
Looks like a done deal. Congrats to her - solid club to move to, with Champions League action every year.

Now this is how you celebrate champions! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cuvhITi99V0?si=bLAQgb8Bq6yyFeRf |
Chiamaka Okechukwu is a forward who plays for San Diego Wave in the NWSL. She is not a midfielder and I don't think she is ready for the SF as yet. Perhaps after this season IF she gets more playing time. GeneralDae: |
And what exactly is your Zidane going to do? She would be clearly out of her league, as she does not have a defensive bone in her body. Ditto that for Moshood. Idoko is not half as good as Favour Emmanuel who should be the one to complement the current midfield. The SF needs players with the best lungs, who are pacy and can offer value upfront and in defense. Neither of the players you mentioned offer this. daveP: |
I think you are partially right. Abiodun is a DM and it showed when Ayinde was removed and JOE came in. Abiodun locked down that midfield in the 2nd half and completely neutralized the Moroccan attack. I recall only 1 clear attempt on goal for the Morroccans in the second half. Regarding Plumptre, Rinsola coming in pretty much put the left flank on lock down, as Rinsola is a very disciplined left winger who provides more end to end value and compliments Ashleigh better, than Ihezuo who is an out and out striker (as evidenced in the 2nd half). The JOE and Rinsola substitutions were the turning point of the game and should have been done sooner. GeneralDae: |
Yes, I did have it mixed up! Esther with the assist. My bad. BascoVanVeli: |
Alozie's goal was recorded as unassisted. Neither Esther nor Abiodun touched the ball. yinkeys: |
It’s possible the WAFCON refs committee may recommend a red card and extended ban for Debbie, retroactively. It’s been done before after review. daveP: |
Replay shows it was Debbie - pink hair. Samueltemi337: |
