Ajakaye has the pace of a Winger. I feel that will be her role as she goes up the ladder. Mosaku and Adeshina having better headers than shots in the box. Same for the team in general.


Why the urge to curl all shots? Evident that was a training project in camp. They need to get volleys.


The wings are still a problem, but passing is better. We need to see what the bench can offer.

I love the 3&4th goals though. They nee6d space and they got just that to shoot. Ajakaye on LRC all through. If we lead Chile by 1st half, she should be rested.

that curl shots is what is missing in the Super Eagles and Super Falcons and most of the national teams so its at least nice to see the Female teams scoring curling shots...

Ajakaye needs learn how to curl shots.. she could have curled her shot when she was one on one or lobbed the goalkeeper..

Lagos, a jungle when Tinubu became the governor? What a big fat lie.

He can only tell that yeye lie to small children. He can only tell that to his blind followers. All the areas and communities in Lagos today were existing many years before BAT became the governor. So how did he become a senator, representing a jungle?

That Ikorodu road that he partitioned to make his BRT lanes was rebuilt in 1974 by Capa _D'Aberto. The whole of Surulere, Aguda, Lawanson, Ijesha, Mushin existed many years ago and have never really changed. Ebute Metta, Yaba, Ilupeju, Maryland, Ikeja, Ketu, Alapere, Ikorodu environmentally, have remained the same since we knew them. He's compound near Femi Kuti's shrine was a go slow area and still remains till today. What about Ajegunle, Maroko, Okokomaiko, Satellite town? So this big deceiver wants to tell people like us that Festac town was a jungle? An entire area built and completed by Obasanjo, which was very beautiful, but damaged today? What about Lekki? An area that was developed by the late Raji Rasaki, following the destruction of Maroko? It was called Victoria Island extension. Ajah developed following that action in 1989. So Tinubu developed Badagry and Epe? What about Egbeda, Ikotun and their adjourning areas?

So Tinubu built Apapa, including the port? Tin can Island was built under the military regimes of Murtala Mohammed/Obasanjo/Mobolaji Johnson in 1977. The same government rebuilt Badagry expressway, starting from Eric Moore to Badagry. What about Oshodi expressway, starting from Apapa wharf to Oworonsoki to meet Seven up, Ketu and connect the third mainland bridge?

So Tinubu built the Oba's palace, Idumota, City Hall, Igbosere, Bamgbose, etc? So Martins street was a jungle, abi? Maryland, Ajao estate, airport road, Isolo and Ago/Okota were jungles? Oyinlola started asphalt on Ago palace road and ended in less than one kilometer, in 1995. That spot became a by stop known as end of tarred road. Marwa fixed that road completely. Oyinlola named a close after himself. It is called Oyinlola close, where his own mother lived.

Marwa chased the herdsmen away from Marine beach, Ajegunle to the present Oko Oba in 1997. Then cows were struggling with Lagosians on Lagos roads. It was Buba Marwa who sent then to the ranch when the cow owners could not stop their fights with tanker drivers. His ultimatum brought sanity to Lagos roads. If not for him, kids would grow up today seeing cows and dungs all over Lagos. Tinubu would not have had to liver to stop them, seeing his fraternization with the northerners to achieve his present emi lo kan ambition.

The present outer Marina was built by Obasanjo. Where you have the present UBA under Apongbon bridge, was UTC. From that point to the officers mess, was the lagoon throughout. Obasanjo reclaimed that land in 1978 and built the ferry station there. The present CMS ferry station was formerly in front on Joseph street. Was it Tinubu who removed the old iron made Eko bridge? How would Tinubu claim that he built the third mainland bridge. That bridge was part of the second national development plan and built under Obasanjo. What about all the Jakande housing estates, scattered all over Lagos? So baba Jakande did nothing.

What Tinubu did was formulate policies to make Lagos work better. The taxation plan was set in place when the revenue of Lagos was withheld by Obasanjo. The basis of the disagreement was his establishment of additional local governments to match Kano state. Tinubu the began that revenue drive.

We need Buba Marwa and Olagunsoye Oyinlola, who were governors before him to speak up, to disprove his blatant lies.

He can only tell his lies to the likes of Reno Omokri and small children on Nairaland.

Tinubu can only tell his fables to babies born between 1980 and 2000, who never knew Lagos.

We can give you the story of Lagos long before and after Tinubu

Tinubu built and reconstructed Itire road, Ijaye road. A lot roads in Lagos were mud roads and sandy roads or roads filled with deep pot holes..

Tinubu created BRT which Fashola completed, LAWMA, LASMA, RRS, Hydro power plant and LASUTH remodernization, EKO ATLANTICS, Alpha beta, lekki toll gate and creation of more local govts which created more jobs and employment especially for Yoruba people..

Like you said Tinubu began a revenue drive that makes Lagos work better.. the same way parents work to make the lives of their children better than what they had when they were children..

Would Lagos have been able to maintain the infrastructure it had on a N600m monthly IGR and even build more infrastructure, before Tinubu started the revenue drive

your parents wealth and your own wealth between 1974 and 2022 did it remain the same

can you survive on the same income you earned in 1974 and use that same income to survive in 2022

did your salary between 1974 and 2022 remain the same

1. The war part was an idiomatic expression.

2. A game can be won or lost at full time not half time.

3. Flamingo was on the front foot throughout so why should they defend? BTW the best form of defend is attack.

4. The fact that you park the bus doesn't guarantee that your opponent won't score.

5. They lost to Germany partly because of missed chances and poor officiating.

6. The coach's tactic was working throughout so why should he changed it?

1. English is not my language so I don't care about knowing its expressions. I take everything in basic meaning

2. Most teams don't stage a come back if the score is 8 - 0 in the 1st half..

3. The best form of attack is to hold possession in the opponents half of the pitch and ensure that counter attacks are stopped.

4. Pack the bus ensures there are more players in defense so If one defender is beaten then another player can block the opposition attacker.. the 1st goal that Germany scored was due to ball watching and lack of high number of players defending the corner. the 2nd goal was due to the defender trying to intercept the pass and no other player to cover for her....
If they packed the bus then there would have been another player to stop the attacker.

5. All referees will be against African teams so its important to score many goals which would nullify any favouritism from the referee towards the other team.

6. If the coach's tactic were working then we wouldn't have lost that match... and he should have changed it once the Flamingoes were leading by telling one of the midfielders to drop to defense or change to a counter attacking formation..

It is not sentiment. You don't go to a war with your full armoury. And at times, you need to have plan B. Aside the missed chances today, everybody did their job well.

It's football not war...

the game can be won and lost in the 1st half...

Flamingoes were leading and only had one player defending... luckily for the Flamingoes, New Zealand's didn't score...

there should be at least 2 players at the back when its 0 - 0 or 3 - 4 players when Flamingoes are leading...

Flamingoes didn't have a defense line and don't know how to "pack the bus"...

If they had defended or "packed the bus" with 9 players ( changing to 6-3-1 ) against Germany then they would have won or at worst drawn the match...

and this means Flamingoes have no counter-attacking pattern or style because if they are leading then they should switch to counter attacking game...

If Super Falcons had packed the bus against Morocco when they leading then Super Falcons would have gotten to the AWCON final...

Its now obvious to me that Nigerian coaches and foreign coaches they hired don't know how to defend and switch formations during a match to favor the team...

All you guys ever do is throwing accusations here and there a player can come in today and play well and start next game and have a off day .....the Coach that choosed to bench them is not mad

I didn't even know Etim Edidiong started against Germany... the attack against Germany looked abysmal so maybe Flamingoes changed formation against New Zealand or New Zealand is a weak team and that's what is making Flamingoes look strong or Flamingoes are truly strong...

if that's the case the team that started against New Zealand should also start against Chile..

they should defend with at least 2 Center Backs there were times New Zealand were on the counter and there was only 1 person at the back which was troubling to me..

they should take short throws like someone mentioned already...

A stronger opposition will capitalize on the errors the Flamingoes were making...

I generally feel good about them, like the subs that came in today made an impact even with few minutes in,they just need some more coaching to be better team overall, they play well

that's the point... the subs should be the ones starting if they are delivering with the few minutes the coach is giving them..

it was 2 - 0 and if New Zealand had scored and made it 2 - 1 then there would have been more pressure on the team and the coach...

the coach should start players who are more effective and clinical..

isan:
It's called team depth

it's called sentiment and bias...

If the players the coach is sentimental towards don't deliver then they shouldn't be in the starting 11 or they should be subbed off at the 50th mins or before 55 minutes....

sanpipita:
Flamingoes scored some very good goals today, individually the team has some nice talents even from the bench

the nice talents on the bench should be in the starting 11.. nice talents should never be on the bench if the ones in the starting 11 are messing up and not taking their chances...

Lagos is the commercial capital of the country warehousing the head quarters of banks, insurance, companies, seaport, airport etc. the employees of these organization pay tax to Lagos state government other states do not enjoy these benefits

Lagos is the commercial capital of the Yorubas not the whole of Nigeria...

nobody forced non-Yorubas to build their headquarters in Lagos, they only want access to the Yoruba market ( Yoruba purchasing power ) since a lot of Yorubas are consumers...

at least 70% of the companies with headquarters in Lagos are Yoruba owned..

What's the yardstick used? That's because I am surprised to see Akwa Ibom at #24 and Abia State ranking better than Borno State!

Why is Imo State GDP higher than those of Anambra, Ogun and Delta States? These states have more industries and economic activities than Imo State.

no yardstick was used.... Once you look at the data you'll know its a nonsense report even HarryDuce knows its nonsense..

Coming into this season, one of the best decisions Napoli made was letting Insigne leave. He was too selfish and that was killing the team.

Moses Simon and some other S.E players are selfish and that has been killing the Super Eagles so should they dropped or benched

Subzero047:
You don't know what you are talking about, anticipation will make you stay onside and not offside, you haven't talked about Haaland's speed of thinking, clear ball striking and positioning which he has more than Osimhen, Man City's top scorer last season De Bruyne had 15 goals and Haaland has already topped that in 2 months so no be by luck

Your friend tells you she's coming by 10am then you prepare that she'll come by 10am but by 10am she doesn't show up then she calls you at 1pm that she can't make it again that day..

That's the summary of Osimhen issue. Osimhen doesn't consider the defense line when he makes his runs..

he runs beyond the defense line too often.

Anticipation will never make you stay onside... It's Patience that will make you stay onside..

Osimhen lacks patience.

mostob:
Ever heard the saying, work smart, not hard ? That's what's applicable here. Haaland doesn't exert his energy pressing anyhow. All he has is positioning and high sense of anticipation. I have never seen any player who is ahead of Haaland in both qualities.

The fact that Osimehn presses hard doesn't mean he will definitely score more goals than Haaland in the City team. Osimehn in that City team will give the MSN vibe where every forwards will have almost the same number of goals and assists.

Both are quality players but with remarkable differences.

Osimhen will score more in any team as long as Osimhen learns to stay onside.

Is it not the same Man City that a young Ihenacho was scoring goals in... Ihenacho is not as fast as Osimhen..

Man City usually has more possession than their oppositions so their forward players don't really have to press. They just have stay onside and wait for the pass or cross..

Osimhen has a higher sense of anticipation than Haaland that's one of the reasons Osimhen runs offside because he has already anticipated and predicted the pass so he thinks his teammates think like him.

In summary
Instead of staying onside and waiting for the pass or cross... Osimhen predicts the pass then runs early and runs past the defenders and runs offside.

MoneyMustBMade:
All northerners know is just giving birth no future plan

Imagine people in charge of your government even Yoruba still dey attack igbos instead of them to fix hand with the igbos to make this nation right. They are busy fighting each other

Now see the type of people leading you as your leaders

Yoruba and Igbos are two different nation's already so they can only make their individual nations right.

No one can make the whole of Nigeria right because Nigeria is a collection of nations.

The people and politicians in Zamfara need to make Zamfara right..

it's not the duty of Yoruba and Igbo to make non-yoruba and non-igbo states right.

AkinDS:
Its the so-called Nigerian journalists that keep asking him the same silly questions over and over again, which he keeps answering. Is it not a fact that other African nations have been 'catching up' and making progress in women's football, which is similar to what's happening with the rest of the world?. Is it not a fact that Nigeria cannot just wake up on the eve of a tournament and expect to go there and dominate (as in the past), solely based on name recognition?
Nigerians love burying their heads in the sand, expecting the rest of the continent (and world) remain at a stand still. Guess what? They are not and that is why the likes of Morrocco, South Africa, Zambia and others are progressing fast!


I guess its his job to get on the field and score now, right? As a coach, you prosecute a game with the players at your disposal. Now, if those players aren't up to the task (contrary to the misguided beliefs of Nigerians that all their players are the best in the world), then you get what you get. If you like, go and get yourself a Pia Sundhagen or Sarina Wiegman or Vlatko Andonovski or even Florence Omagbemi for that matter. It wouldn't change a damn thing!
He has been working on making our ladies team more tactically and strategically competent and it has been working, at least, in the eyes of others outside of this forum who understand the tactical and strategic nuances of the game. I, for one, saw a Nigerian ladies team, short on personnel and acclimatization (due to jet lag) play against the Japanese and dominated in the first half. I saw them playing the high block and low block and moving the ball around brilliantly and impressively.
Now, I get that most so-called fans may lack the ability to recognize such subtle improvements (perhaps due to their pre-conceived biases), but that doesn't take away from that fact that those improvements have actually happened.



You need to understand that in the overall scheme of things, specifically pre-Waldrum, Nigeria really dropped the ball regarding women's football development and we were slowly being left behind. Unfortunately, the same myopic, 'we are not playing beautiful football and whooping teams left and right' mantra was what led to the idiotic decision behind the firing or Rohr, which ended up being a total disaster. We keep making the same dumb mistakes (not just in football, but in Nigeria as a whole) and expect to get better. Well...



In closing: I was asked (in a previous thread) why I am in support of the man. Well, here's my response...
Randy has worked on revamping the team, slowly transitioning from the old brigade to newer, younger players and also infusing the team with new players who are more in tune with the modern game. The build up and climb to the summit takes time, and is filled with disappointments (failing fast, learning, correcting and moving forward). Losses in irrelevant battles (friendlies) are not a predicate for how the war (the WC) will turn out, but are used to help identify areas of weakness and shoring them up (failing fast to succeed later). This is the same model that the likes of England, Spain, Mexico and several other countries used over the years, with some success. Our SF performances against Canada, US and Japan, albeit losses, demonstrated to me that he is on the right track - again, patiently building a solid and robust team. Let the man finish his project!!!

Stop saying nonsense..

Randy is meant to improve the team not regress the team. He doesn't rate the S.F high and doesn't make effort to improve the team.

He plays players out of position and doesn't sub out Onumonu especially when she's having a bad game.

No Nigerian football team can ever be short on personnel there are replacements for every player.

After the world cup, he needs to go unless super Falcons reach the semi final of the world cup.

You lack objectivity and you cannot substantiate your opinion with anything beyond sentiment and bias.

Look at the past 10 years and tell me how many forward players Chelsea have bought that have made it beyond Drogba, Conte and a one or two others.

Chelsea has either destroyed the careers of many young promising players or they have had to find world class fame and fortune ELSEWHERE, such as De Bruyne, Lukaku, Salah, etc

In addition it's part of the Chelsea business. Model to buy players and sell them on for possible profit.

Now compare the pedigree of the players Chelsea buys and how many failed to cut it. Terem is not as good as the players who did not make it at Chelsea thats the reality.

forgiveness:
Agreed, he should had scored but it was technique he used to beat the defender.

Can you please show me the video of the goal Oshoala scored that was something similar?

Tell me one time even a fit Morata registered 20 league goals for any side. Just tell me one.

I doubt you would find one yet Morata has featured for most marquee clubs (Real Madrid, Chelsea, Atletico Madrid and Juventus).


Now... You just read facts and called it story, story, story.

But since you believe and know what a fit Osimhen can do... then that settles this discussion.

The wrong move would have been Osimhen moving to Man Utd this summer like some Shameless Man U fans in here wanted but thanks goodness that didn't happen.

Next Summer, Osimhen will likely get his big move after having another strong season in the Serie A under his belt. Maybe Man U will be a better place by then... time will tell. Other options also exist. Next Summer will tell it all.

So chill out with your "wrong move-destroy career" talks. He's been at Napoli for 3 seasons now including this current one. You make it sound like he's been on the move every other season.

must Osimhen move

Napoli is on an upward trajectory, they are thrashing the "marquee" clubs and will compete in UEFA competitions every season.

Osimhen needs to learn to take care of himself more and stop getting injured, If he needs to change his diet then he should change it and if he needs to rest more to prevent muscle tears then he should..

same thing goes for all Nigerian players, they should reduce whatever causing them to weaken their muscles and the Nigerian coaches should also help them by not calling them up for International matches...

Amoo, Sadiq, Tijani all have ACL injuries and Osimhen almost got an ACL injury but he was wise enough to stop running around and just lay on the pitch...

Fortune is smiling on the Igbo Clan these days and they seemed blessed on all fronts! Who wouldn't be happy having Davido as in-law! He's definitely going to bring light to their benighted enclave. Better days are here for the Igbo, because an opportunity has come to them to have a Yorubaman as tutor of good things. It's certainly praiseworthy having the Yoruba lead from front and the Igbo following in their wake. Maybe this will seal up their loose lips and tie up their loose tongue for once, who knows. It'll use it to kiss the ground before them, the mouth which the snail abuse the gods with, it will use it to sing their praise.

davido is I:gbo. the only thing Yoruba about davido is his Yoruba name ( he definitely has an I:gbo name )..

his grandma was an I:gbo woman while his granddad was Yoruba, that makes davido's father half Igbo half Yoruba.

davido's father also married an I:gbo woman, which makes all their children ( davido and his siblings ) 0.75 I:gbo and 0.25 Yoruba...

then davido's son ( Ifeanyi ) with C:hioma means Ifeanyi is full blood Igbo boy with a Y:oruba surname..

Oga...the late former governor Audu Abubakar started that project as Kogi State Cement company, how it metamorphose into dangote cement company is what is baffling the house members and the state...dangote come and show paper dangote cannot show paper cos there was non, that shady deal could have probably happen when the former kogi governor Ibrahim idris took over from Audu....!!

No document at all showing when dangote aquire the company and that's what they are asking to see...!!! No such transaction is anywhere in Kogi State accounting books...!!!

okay... but if it was state owned then the same house members would have been the ones to approve the sale... so why are pretending to be ignorant of a deal they participated in...

Kogi state should build a state owned cement company..

the players you mentioned are mostly DMs and Amadou Onana is Belgian and not from Africa...

you didn't even mention Eze and Olise who are still eligible to play for Super Eagles

charlesemeka85:
my football knowledge may be low to you because it doesn’t suit your narrative

De bruyne and others you mentioned are doing it in top leagues and clubs in europe so for nwakali to be in the same sentence with those you mentioned he should mk the leap to a bigger league and make a statement. He is over 5 seasons in europe now after showing so much promise as a cadet player

Imagine lil onyedika bossing ATM in the ucl after just 2 seasons of men’s football? Bro try Dey keep sentiment and bias aside pls

charlesemeka85:
if nwakali is half as good as lil gavi and pedri he won’t be in laliga 2

Okocha is one of the best Nigerian midfielders and he ended up playing for Bolton..
Mikel that was supposed to be a CAM was turned to a DM just to be in the starting eleven..

Our players especially CAMs or CMs no matter how good they are will never be rated high enough to be a top teams CAM in the top 5 leagues..

even Onyedika that we are praising now, If he moves clubs they can end up turning him into a defender...

Nwakali is not European so don't expect him to be highly rated...

charlesemeka85:
well you re right but I listed more deserving players doing it in top leagues in europe

Some may see it as hate but bossing the laliga 2 is not enough to deserve a call up to one of the best teams in Africa unless in a position on the pitch where the super eagles lacks better players in top European leagues

It's not about bossing laliga2. It's about what Nwakali brings.. most good teams have 2 creative midfielders in their starting eleven.

Man City has de bruyne and B. Silva
R.madrid has modric and kroos
Man utd has Eriksen and Fernandez.
Barca has pedri and gavi.

dele bashiru, nwobodo and tijani is a no no no!

Sometimes I wonder the way you guys rate players

Bashiru and tijani are injured while nwobodo is in the mls. The latter at his prime shouldn’t be in the mls if he is as good as hyped here

U are making a case for dead woods and injured players but left out aribo who is doing decently well in his first season in one of the toughest leagues in europe

Nawaoooo!

Aribo is a forward player not a midfielder..

Aribo should be playing either left winger or supporting striker.

Anytime Aribo plays as a midfielder for the S.E the midfield is always looking
lean and with Iwobi also trying to join the attack the S.E ends up with a one man midfield and that's bad.
