The way the ladies dey ginger when arsenal was going for both the equalising and winning goals ehh, you go know say na fans dem be grin.
I even a video on twitter the way Leah Williamson just dey ginger and celebrate every goal scored.

To be honest, That AON- Arsenal did a whole lot of good and I think that's another reason the fans are even more closer to the team and the love they showing to the players esp player like Xhaka who have received much love recently from them. You saw the way Arteta celebrated with Gabriel at full time?

This documentary have really done a whole lot of good to arsenal. It makes the fans to feel really more connected to the inner workings of the club and they feel more carried along.
I believe it made the ladies Even love the men's team than ever before. This compactness is working good. Now i too imagine how half time talks occur.

This Golden boot race


Haaland
Jesus
Firmino
Mitrovic
Son
Kane


Cant wait to see how each use the other for motivation, one way or the other


That Haaland last goal is proof he's going to bully most epl defenders this season. If the guy body you ehn.

This season too, the ucl should come the English way. Dunno if the WC would influence that though.


Two defenders mess up and reply with a goal. Now I'm afraid for Ben White grin

I’m enjoying the Spanish Vs Netherland game, talk to you later. By the way I’m still wondering how the Dutch side take win us…. Sad one
I thought no one will comment on how bad the dutch team were defensively. They put three bodies on the dutch defense and a mistake came as a result and goal!!


We left Okwuchukwu to be the lone presser, and got nothing tangible out of that approach.


On the other hand, the spanish defence have serious carpenters, and that is why I'll tip Japan to colet their thing in peace.

NFF: Why Falconets overstayed at Istanbul Airport

The Nigeria Football Federation on Wednesday explained that a number of factors, including the inability to secure transit visas for players and officials of the U20 Girls National Team, Falconets, at the Istanbul Airport, led to the team having to stay 24 hours at the airport in Turkey on their way from the FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup.

“The NFF did not book the team’s tickets from Costa Rica; FIFA did. FIFA also did not envisage the hitches that saw the team delayed for more than three hours in Bogota, and another one hour in Panama. By the time the team got to Istanbul, the flight to Abuja had left.

“Our officials pleaded for compassionate transit visas so as to take the players and officials to a hotel inside the town, but this was not possible as they were informed that Nigeria had been removed from the list of countries whose citizens were issued visa-on-arrival in Turkey. The airline then took the team to a sleeping area at the airport and gave them tickets to have meals every five hours. This situation has nothing to do with NFF, who had made arrangements to receive the team in Abuja before the complications in travel arrangements,” NFF General Secretary, Dr Mohammed Sanusi, explained.

It would be recalled that the NFF had implored world-governing body, FIFA to intervene with the Embassy of Germany to issue the team transit visas before their departure from Nigeria, in order for the team to be able to travel through Germany. This did not happen.

On the issue of body-wear, Sanusi said: “The players were handed three sets of green jerseys and two sets of white jerseys, several house-wear types and training jerseys. The players opted to wash only their jersey top (no other stuff) because when the first set of body-wear was sent to the laundry people at the hotel, it returned with some FIFA and NFF badges at the front and names at the back peeled by the machine.”



I hope you know that your curse will returned to you and manifest in your life
which curse? grin
Rest.

Come off it Dave, it had not gotten to that, read again carefully,

That guy was right not blaming Nff for it, everything had been set and booked for their return, if Colombia Airline had not done what they did, then we can say the Nff is to blame,

We should speak well of our sports, and people some times, those negative vibes will not take us anywhere,

Hope you heard what Jose Mourinho said concerning, E .Dennis
E reach to para. They are always in such situations. Why? Na only us waka come? Now it's FIFA that caused it all. That's the info now. Anyways, they can ride off for now. But they and embarassing moments are 5&6
SportsRe: Nigeria Female National Teams' Thread by daveP(m): 9:19am On Aug 24, 2022
When it comes to proper planning and logistics off the field, we never ever get it right with the female national team. Why? Nobody should sugarcoat or defend this incompetence and rubbish action this time. This is highly embarassing and sickening. Whatever the reason anyone feels is justified, is actually not justified.


A proper plan would have done the job. That they had to start 3hrs after losing to Holland shows you how there was no plan in place in the first place.


Buying their own soaks again and then everyone free to travel once they land in abuja again.


Thunder fire anyone wey defend this nonsense. Sincerely!!

With this u20 game, at least one can understand why i clamor for a friendly with the senior dutch team for the Super Falcons.


I can't wait to see Onyenezidane in the middle, making work easier for Ajibade and Ayinde. The way she brings the ball down with both feet is thrilling. Then the freekicks will have a better shooter this time. We finally have a good setpiece taker to anticipate in coming years. It now remains our setpiece setup that have a poor % in the last 4yrs. Very very very poor conversion rate. Any technical side would take such when analysing us and feel we can't be a threat from there.



How France drag Japan though.

CAF Women’s Champions league you say?

Bayelsa Queen currently have the toughest Goalkeeping Competition in the NWFL..

1. Cameroon first Choice Goalkeeper is there
2. Onyinyechi Okeke still rated one of the best though but hasn’t been able to hold on to a regular spot in the Superfalcon squad, One week in 2 weeks out..
3. Sandra Chiichii 2014 U20 Women World Cup first Choice Goalkeeper…
4. Oyono Omini is 4th in the Rankings at Bayelsa Queens, I wonder how she got the spot in the Falconet..
i meant nigeria's reps in the CCL.

Nevertheless, this is hard for Oyono.

But wait oooo. So Oyono is the best U20 goalkeeper we have? I laugh in Spanish..

Chiamaka Nnadozie go too hold that Superfalcons no1 till she retires.. This U17 goalkeeper better Step up. Nnadozie needs Competition. TOCHUKWU OLUEHI is already 35yrs and will retire anytime soon.
I tell you. Unless this Caf champions league run produces a much better deputy for Nnadozie, I'm afraid we will have no competition in that department. Oyono was lucky most aerial duels ended up in fouls on her. She started well but shaky shaky here and there.


Seeing the dutch bench having a great laugh with their smoothies pain me. The Koreans were like that until Onyenezide scored. Chai

Flourish ended this badly, esp in rating.

Two silly mistakes were the biggest difference for this match, forget our inability to find the net. Coming from your captain, in a team where most of the girls look up to you, shows how those mistakes affected morale.


The Dutch Ajax approach was just vivid. Unlike France, they did their home work on our attackers.


We failed woefully in tactics.

They were playing from the back and only Okwuchukwu was pressing and running while Sebastine was not doing same. Amoo and Abiodun left their markers 5times in the first half. Like,they weren't marking nobody and so two useless legs for 5 times.

Jerry Joy added a spark to the press. I'm sure if we simply beat their press, we would have made them falter and get goals. We made them comfortable at the back.


2nd half showed desperation and breakdown of mental strength as everyone wanted to shoot tame shots at goal. Alani that i was scared for had a good game.


This loss pained Onyenezide pass everybody else.


The post match interview of Danjuma reveals a touch of tactical cluelessness.

And the coach needs to shut his damn mouth sometimes. Man wants to play the whole game with his mouth. Telling players every single basic thing to do. "Alani, stay!", "Amaka, move", "Mercy, make run" grin.

Does it mean he didn't train them or give them instructions before bringing them to the pitch or what? It's getting embarrassing abeg.
The dutch coach is the opposite, just watching and applauding. Sincerely the shouts have become annoying. He can shout, but not that as the main stream of play. Allow the girls do their thing.
