I thought I updated this page long ago concerning Favour Emmanuel return to Lokomotive Moscow 🇷🇺

Bascovanveli2:
Why couldn't Ashleigh stop her when they faced in Saudi?

Deltamani:
Super Falcons head coach, Justine Madugu has apologized to the fans of the Super Falcons for failing to produce a result that meets up with the expectations of Nigerians after the team's 1-1 draw against Benin Republic. He remarked that there is always a standard to which the team is expected to perform in games, however, the Super Falcons were not able to perform as such, labelling it an "off day" for the ladies but then they will see the result as a wake up call to the fact that there is more works to be done.

Super Falcons captain, Rasheedat Ajibade emphasized that the team did not at any point understimate the capabilities of their counterparts Benin Republic in their WAFCON qualification game that ended 1-1 at the MKO Abiola Arena, Abeokuta. She maintained that even in Togo, where the two teams played the forst leg of the double-header, they knew the Amazons would be tougher as getting a result against the African Champions would mean a lot to them. She admitted that the Falcons did not particularly play their best game but noted that it was an opportunity to detect their loopholes and as well correct them ahead of subsequent games.

Benin Republic women’s head coach, Abdoulaye Ouzerou has said that he expected his side to win their second leg tie against Nigeria. Speaking in a translated speech after the game, the gaffer said he always believed his team had what it takes to win, and he tried to instill that notion in his players. Overall, he said he is satisfied with the result, but would’ve be more satisfied when they start winning.

• Do you accept Coach Madugu's apology?
• Did Nigeria underestimate Benin?
• What must the team improve upon to secure an 11th title in Morocco?

Bascovanveli2:
Deborah Abiodun has turned into okocha all of a sudden

dkay51:
A number of times, Ashleigh passes to her, runs ahead to receive the return but she's not able to and loses the ball and Ashleigh is caught out of position, we would have been punished if it were a lethal team.

So who would you say she is better than at the moment? Ucheibe? Toni Payne?? Echegini

Let's be saying the truth abeg

lovewins:
Not a bad first half seeing we are ahead, but also not a great one. We should be dog-walking this Benin team. Good so far but not overly impressed.

lovewins:
Ohale has tried but I think it's time she takes a back seat. I'll rather play Ucheibe in defence Instead. She's been beated twice and it's obvious she's no match for that Benin Striker's pace.

Bascovanveli2:
Quìt the cap. She is having a great debut. Combining well with Ashleigh and She bas created a number of opportunities

Deltamani:
You’re sounding as if Nigeria can’t win awards or tournaments just because it’s hosted in Morocco..!

Football all round Club and Country
Esther Okoronkwo is no.1 in Africa right now…

In terms of club alone then Temwa Chawinga is no.1

Deltamani:
She debut for Portsmouth in the English Women's Cup against Brighton & Hove Albion FC in September 2025.

She had a great game, you can watch it on YouTube. But for now I will definitely pick her as 3rd choice for the Super Falcons considering the environment she’s in right now where there’s proper training and competition..

BascoVanVeli:
Chiwendu Ihezuo, Osinachi Ohale and Ayo Oke vs Orlando Pride @ AkinDS

BascoVanVeli:
Ayooluwa Oke is a player we should go for.

QueenJazz:
There is simply no rationale. Evidence of her doings are clear to see. It's sentiments that drive decision making when it comes to Nigerians. That's how it has always been.

Someone said on Twitter that Madugu's football philosophy is still not clear till now. And I still have this nagging belief that the Super Falcons excelled at the last WAFCON not because of Madugu but in spite of him.

lovewins:
It's just incompetence in full display that the WAFCON success seems to have clouded. How you have 4 NPFL players on the team when they haven't kicked a ball in months. Taiwo and Usani are not super falcons material, at least not yet and have no business in this team.

As is, we are in trouble should anything happen to Nnadozie cause these guys are too myopic to see how the need to get another competent goalkeeper is of utmost importance. Instead, they see it as a chance to bring home based players who by the way have been on break for months now onboard.

lovewins:
Not surprising if you've listened to the coach speak. We'll see more homebased player inclusion as time go on.

The Monday Gift exclusion shows the WAFCON snub wasn't an oversight. Maybe he just doesn't fancy her as a player.

BascoVanVeli:
I thought she did good last night.

BascoVanVeli:
American Nigerian 22 years old. Can play as a fullback and forward. Hopefully Osinachi and Chiwendu are working behind the scenes

Deltamani:
Yeah… Joy Omewa deserves a look, golden boot winner this past season and already the top scorer this season..

For Edna Imade, she’s back to form after suffering a knock during preseason… Already 2 goals in 4 game this season.. the news is still thesame that she already in contact with Spain to play for them that’s why she’s on loan with Real Sociedad so as to stay for a year to complete the process before joining Bayern next season..

ekehopp2:
