we hold to the ball too much,

hopefully Ucheibe is alright, the game is boring though..

Mstravelindiva:
Manifestations that your wish be granted swiftly friend!

....welcome back....we await more pictures.....

do4luv14:
No wonder......, That's why they refuse to return our Ticket,

Btw, They had been served Wotoporiously

....lol...who be their mate for this world cup....who do they think they can beat...Senegal is a better team than Mali.

so it seems it is only Nigeria that has scored against the USWNT in as many games, no wonder they got rocked a little when Uchenna Kanu scored.

justicechichex:
For sure.. But wait oh, so the next WC will be 2027 right?

....2026...a lot of players from this class might not be able to attend.....Sad much...However, there is still olympics in 2 years...

Deltamani:
Eight years of Amaju Pinnick's tenure as the president of the Nigerian Football Federation officially ended today 2014 - 2022.

How would you rate Nigeria's football in the last 8 years?.

...Poor...Under him, the usual success at age grade competition we used to enjoy has disappeared, especially for the male teams. The male senior national team failed to qualify for the world cup and also there were times under his belt that we failed to qualify for nations cup. The female senior national team has been a shadow of itself under his watch. bye bye Amaju Pinick may we never meet again....still cant believe he did not sack Waldrum immedately after the Aishat Buhari cup...

mostob:
I'm sorry to ask boss... Are you the same person as schemerkhiz?

.... Lol..his he schemekhiz, i do not know, however, deltamani is a legend... A golden fish has no hidden place even if it is a faceless forum. I think i know who schemekhiz is though... 95% positive.

Danielnino00:
Okobi returns...wow

...na so we see am o.....ll...was suprised....however, still wondering why Patricia Gorge has not been called up...na wa o...at this stage, i have a feeling it is waldrum himself that does not want her, nobody is blocking her call up, except for waldum himself....it is well,she will get her call up soon, guessing as soon as waldrum is gone...BTW is the Japan friendly a double header.

Deltamani:
Mercy Akide Udoh and Julie Foudy


So Mercy and Julie were teammates in the US back then. Julie Foudy the US former international Midfielder was one of the Commentators for the game against the US..

...Legend(Mercy Akide), i could tell the commentators were former players and knew whats up with our federation,has they touched on federation owing the falcons their wages.

Danielnino00:
You aren't far from the truth... The talent is there obviously, it needs to be well managed..that's the issue... Randy Waldrum after two years in charge has shown no sign whatsoever that he is the right man for the job ..
Lets hope somebody who is really passionate about the development of the game and not just their financial gain that will take over the NFF leadership come September 30

....he is not the man for the job, plain and simple, he cant lead us to the promise land, he has shown the highest he can ever reach, and that is too low a level for the falcons, so definitely not the man for the job.

lovewins:
It's also obvious Randy doesn't know how to deploy Monday Gift. You could hardly feel her effect in both matches.

....is it a surprise to you, the man does not know how to deploy anybody except the goal keeper.......the man can not read a match to save his live, the match must be over, then he will go home and who knows, maybe he has some friends that help him with analysis, before he makes correction, hence you notice his correction is usually in the next game. The problem in this is that every match caries its own level of unpredictability, when things start to go south, is he good enough to see it immediately and stop it, the answer is a big No

Deltamani:
Spot on, Asisat would have given them a lot of heat up there, they would be looking for how to contend Kanu on the Left and Oshoala in the middle or right…

One of our major setbacks was that we didn’t have much player to trouble them from the flank like when Kanu came in, They had to double up on Kanu as she was causing them trouble already.

....to be honest, when i was watching yesterday, somethings came to mind, that is, we are just a few steps away from being world class. Majorly the problem is that we are not tactical enough, the talent,speed,strength,athleticism is there, however, this can be solved by having a tactical coach and also,NFF needs to invest in technology, where player have their reports and tapes at the end of every training session, which they can watch while they rest and eat and prepare for the next day. They see their flaws, they work on it the following day, this should not be limited to just matches, but also training session. You will be surprised what beast this can unleash.

Thinking about how Oshoala has not been too lethal in the Green,White,Green lately, could it be that, it also a function of the farmer coach that we have, i am beginning to believe that we will need to give everyone a chance again to see what they are capable of under a new coach and the players playing at their natural positions, as a wack coach can make players look bad and demoralized.

Danielnino00:
On a brighter side, we were the first team to score against the US after their run of 12 games without conceding since April.... No wonder, the goal had them panicked..
I believe we could have scored more if we made the most of our counter attacks yesterday.... Indeed, a pacy Oshoala up front would have really troubled them...

..absolutely...they kinda of where thrown aback, if you noticed after the goal by Kanu, they started doubling up on her, imagine if Oshoala was on the other side...then you know you are in trouble...

BankyGee:
And I want us to play Brazil too, I really want to check something

....yes o....

mostob:
Asisat Oshoala Academy.

...Nice one by Asisat...God bless her.

isan:
South Africa can't defend

...i guess much....we played ourselves for not getting our 10th AWCON, we are still the most talented team in Africa, the only problem is we are coached by a farmer which the higher up in NFF do not have a problem with, very worrisome.

I want South Africa to play the USWNT, i want to check something.

isan:
Demehin is playing defensive midfield

.. What Waldrum can not do, does not exist...

Deltamani:
Gift Monday

...i like this unveiling.

Deltamani:
2 goals call off as offside
Silly call from the Lines Woman, Should have ended 8zero..

.. ... That will be too much too...

Thats not offside naa.. Should be 7-0...South Africa not comfortable at all..

Deltamani:
Election is September 30…. EVERYONE is waiting after the Election, because the New President and his Crew will definitely have their own review..

... Hopefully, someone with the love of the game at heart wins o.

Deltamani:
It looks like in Randy Waldrum Contract there’s a Clause that states that he must take the team to the World Cup…

.....to be honest,slowly becoming indifferent....anyhow Pinnick like make him do am.....slowly losing interest.....

Lmao... Up Waldrum... ......Una never see anything.... 8-0 loading...

ReadaDream:
Find an AC technician that knows what he's doing to check it properly. AC issues can be frustrating and money gulping, try to get it right this time around.

...thank you..

Hello house, i have been having A. C issues of late, just got a new condenser, however, problem persists. I feel there is a leakage somewhere...

Truth is, the ladies have always been out best bet in achieving anything worthwhile on that world stage. We bunked that chance by depriving them of the world cup.

None of the key players of Dtigress would have missed this qualifiers if they were the ones playing. This was the year they were supposed to show up on the world stage, sadly Sunday Dare made that impossible.

........none of the dtigress will miss such, were is jordan nwora, guess what, Jokic and Gianis were going at each other yesterday(serbia vs greece....it is well, we do not have to qualify, let the best in africa at the moment represent us....for the ladies, we still have some young bulls that are eligble to play for naija, also some of our team are in Japan as we speak, they are holding scrimmage against the Japanese squad, just to prepare the Japanese team for the world cup.....i think they will be there for a week.

the old school guys hate this way of playing by basically just spaming 3 pointers, Barkley, shaq et al....do not like it at all, also it makes the big man not too active. i guess i will be rooting for south sudan, they play my kind of basketball, high tempo, high octane basketball, not this sluggish way we play.

Danielnino00:
8/38 3 pointers made... We don't have good three point shooters..Why waste our shots on threes?

...that sthe problem, we do not have good shooters, but want to shoot....recipe fr disaster, the guards are not creaative enough too....to be honest, they do not have to go with this atitude, my own mind don dey Rwanda 2023, when our ladies will win the Afro basket for the 4 time in a row, and six editions in total.

lovewins:
I tell you. This game was ours to lose and we are doing a very good job at it.

Why insist on 3 balls when you need to close the gap.

...thats the new way, i guess golden state warriors had a hand in this style of play, however, those guys are some of the best shooters in the world, steph, klay et al..the problem is when you are nt scoring you look very horrible.
