Nigeria is a country but not a nation. Theres a big difference between being a country and being a nation.

A country is just a place, a nation is home.

Na Wa Oh.

‘Aiteo Cup over for Bayelsa Queens’



Rivers Angels head coach, Edwin Okon has said top-flights and neighbours, Bayelsa Queens are merely coming for sightseeing in Port Harcourt.

The Jewel of Rivers are hosts of the Restoration Girls in Wednesday’s Aiteo Cup semifinals second leg clash at the Yakubu Gowon Stadium in Port Harcourt.
The Garden City landladies and Cup holders were held to 2-2 draw by the Yenagoa side in the acrimonious first leg clash at the Nembe City Stadium.

Okon said his side are poised to once again prove their overwhelming superiority over the visitors, Bayelsa Queens.


“It was actually in Yenagoa that we picked the Aiteo Cup final ticket at the expense of Bayelsa Queens.

“However, we are not relaxing but working very hard to ensure there is no mistake when both sides clash in the reverse fixture on Wednesday in Port Harcourt.

“I think this year’s Aiteo Cup is over for Bayelsa Queens as they are merely coming to Port Harcourt for sightseeing.

“We will turn them back empty-handed as we are fielding same squad that held them at their backyard.

“I do not have any injury worry at the moment as the players are all good to go come on Wednesday.

“Bayelsa Queens fought us at their home and even tore the referee’s card we will not do anything uncivil we will receive them well, accord them due respect but will not discuss the three points with them.

“We are Cup holders our desire is to go ahead to defend the title successfully,” said the former Super Falcons coach to supersport.com.

Aggregate winners of the clash will have both legs in the Aiteo Cup final to confront the winners between Ibom Angels and Abia Angels/Confluence Queens.

All u want is John obi Mikel in d midfielder,u don't care who pairs with him.

What I'm saying is that Etebo or Ogu would help us retain possession more against a fast team (relying on the pace of their wingers)and also give the attackline more steam. Ndidi is better against less mobile opponents like Cameroon, where he is there to chase the ball but not necessarily keep possession.

If it's not a country, what is it again? A Kingdom?

Kog45:
meaning with Mikel in d midfield we can bring in any of our midfieders(Onazi,Ndidi, Etebo, Agu,Ogu)

Maybe not Agu.

Kog45:
Likely Akpeyi is starting but let's wait and see coz Rohr is still saying it Akpeyi is No 1 for now in d absence of Ikeme.

Hmm, Akpeyi looks shaky though.

Kog45:
Hope u remember Onazi-Etebo-Ndidi against South Africa,pls remove Etebo and bring in Ndidi.

Onazi-Etebo-Mickel also did well against Algeria,the key ingredient here is Mickel, but l know the coach would go with the usual Onazi-Ndidi-Mickel which is fine anyway.

In Honor of CFCMan/CFCfan.... (he created this but he deactivated... don't know why or don't know if he back in another moniker) for the love of Women's football in Nigeria, Africa and the world over....


Let's resurrect this Thread. Time for a comeback.... no matter how tough and difficult it is to get news on our ladies.... we must try.


The Super Falcons remain the Pinnacle team in African Women's football and One of the best and most entertaining team in world women football. It is true they need much more support but our girls march on nonetheless. From the Super Falcons to the Super Falconets and to the Flamingoes.... the race is still on to greatness.


For Flamingoes and Super Falconets matters ahead of the 2018 Fifa U-17 and U-20 WWCs .. this thread(below) can also be consulted....

Nigerian Women's football lives on.....

Nice.

Danielnino00:
. Alright folks... Its a new day... And just 4 days to D-day....

Which midfield combo would u prefer vs Zambia?

Ndidi- Onazi-Mikel

Ndidi-Etebo-Mikel

Onazi-Etebo-Mikel

I would prefer Onazi -Etebo-Mickel.

KevinDein:
You beat to this.

CR7 is NOT A FOOTBALL GENIUS. He is just a fantastic athlete who happen to be a great goal scorer. An Inzaghi on steroid. Iniesta, Ronaldinho, Zidane etc all have better claims of being football geniuses than CR7.

I agree, Ronaldhino especially and even Messi.

forgiveness:
On two occasions, Ezenwa showed his recklessness while Akpeyi is not trustable.

Confidence is more important, because it can't be imbibed in a day, but recklessness is easier to overcome or guard against, so I'll go for Ezenwa.

Kog45:
CONFIDENCE vs RECKLESS,pls pick one

Confidence.

forgiveness:
Honestly, I don't know who is better between the sticks hence my choice of Akpeyi.


We are not under pressure to win, they are. So, I presume they will go for early goal to put us under pressure.

So, I think we should defend in the 20 minutes of the first half and see what they're up to.

While defending, we are also counter attacking with rapid speed.

Those Zambians are faster than the Cameroonians.

I don't think Akpeyi has the confidence of Ezenwa, but it seems to me that Ezenwa could be reckless sometimes.

between IWOBI and MOSES SIMON,who starts against zambia?
@Icons,Goodjoe,Mickael2,Goldfish80,forgiveness,etc
for me i will go for IWOBI

Moses Simon. Iwobi does better as an attacking midfielder however Moses Simon is pacy and more skillfull, he can improve on his crosses though.

Iwobi scores
