Asisat's retirement news is FAKE NEWS.

I didn't even know the story was in circulation till I saw Colin Udoh's video yesterday debunking it late yesterday.

I didn't see the news to post it here since the story of her alleged retirement hadn't made it here. So surprised to see it this morning.

Modified:

Addressing those @AsisatOshoala retirement reports.
I had a chat with her upon seeing the reports. Let's just say, the shortest distance between two points is not always a straight line
She is focused on the semifinal game and will not be saying anything. At least for the moment pic.twitter.com/abyQ4lIkff

Here's the link to Colin's twitter post. He spoke to Oshoala directly. It also didn't make sense to him that a professional like Oshoala will release such disturbing news that has the potential to unsettle the dressing room a day to a crucial semifinal game. Thankfully it was false.

I've also personally seen a snippet video of Oshoala reacting to this too.

The only thing South Africa has over Nigeria is their National Anthem.

Their Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika anthem is easily top 5 in the world and even me wey no be S.African dey feel am wella.

Arise O' Compatriots wasn't bad too. It was a very good call to war and battle anthem but PBAT go get brain touch change am.

Now nothing to ginger and boost our gals morale tomorrow.

The SA anthem is simply mind-blowing, downloaded the lyrics some months ago.

As for the bolded, changing our anthem was very needless in my opinion. Even worse, going by our recent games, NONE of our girls could recite a line of the new anthem. It's a shame.

Not true.

She remains the most respected amongst her pairs. Ask an average new entrant to the team and th first name they mention is Oshoala. She also largely been a great bridge between the foreign born contingent and the Nigerian born ones.

The Ohale and Ayinde angel is also laughable. They are players who don't want big roles in the team. You have to understand that the reason Ajibade is captain today is because people like Ohale didn't want the responsibility. That's not to say they are irresponsible, not at all, but I think they prefer leading from their roles.

Oshoala has a big voice in the team, one that her colleague respects, and I also think she deserves to leave the team in style and the best place to do that is at the World cup.

semid4lyfe:
She's so bad she isn't even deserving of being a squad member.

Football has left her completely.

ThePresenceWtf:
Someone was hyping up this Zambian coach when she was head coach of the Ghana Women National team and also when she took over as the Zambian Women Coach. All because Ghana FA was uploading 720p, 1080p images 😂😂😂

daveP:
Oshoala is finished.

This thing hard me to type but i have to. That's the wackiest decision making for a player of her calibre. Otilo.

Madugu should sub Ijamilusi off. These are ladies now. Why are Ajibade and Ijamilusi still on the pitch? They're not men o, Madugu.

carbonado:
I have a question, is Banda and Kudunanji in this game

Nah, they are currently on holiday in Marrakesh.

Danielnino00:
Zambia have made themselves way too predictable and it seems Madugu studied them well..

Their defence is wack......their only style is to boot long balls to Banda and Kuandanaji... Our defense have so far done well in keeping the duo quiet..
Excellent game so far....

I expect Zambia to come out more in the second half.. Madugu should introduce Ucheibe and Abiodun to lock up that midfield

Queenslander:
Nigeria will lose this match,. quote me anywhere!!

Can we quote you now?

ThePresenceWtf:
Man! i'm having to watch these games on mute. It's been like that for all 4 games now, the commentary is "Ear Itch" Inducing. 😂😂😂

Btw, who is the female co-commentator?

lovewins:
It's also noteworthy that Madugu isn't playing defensive today, contrary to how he executed the group stages. The selection shows he's going on the offensive. We are either going to see a masterclass or a disasterclass.

Not sure what's sponsoring this boldness but I'm seated.

carbonado:
I do not know if it is Nigeria that is playing, because, what is this.......very flat a game..
