So there is a CAF competition for secondary schools too?...
Hearing this for the first time sha

It's totally embarassing that this reflects how bad the Glass House is so far. Peseiro owed his salaries too.

We need a revamp in this deadbeat sector. Na to dey snap upandan like politicians dem sabi.

They better win the next tie vs Sundowns. Nothing special about them. Looks like they got more shots at Dlamini than Super Falcons did vs South Africa at Wafcon.

But why do Nigerian teams lose their first matches in tournament and been friendlies?
Culture!
We always never really come firing from all cylinders. If you study the set/teams that did win, they usually had a better coach. Our media has played its part by using this to excuse lack of adequate preparation and proper, technical input into the squad.

For this BQ losing tonight, they showed some brilliance, but i won't be surprised if they got no data whatsoever to outsmart MS style of play(which they maintain since last season). These things no hard, but undecided cry

We can never be our best with such football culture. Times have moved ahead. We need to catch up. Especially the Transition aspect.

Style of play, positioning, passing and the time to start making substitutions, passing in the opponents half of the field e.t.c are what they should be working on..

Oliseh has foreign coaching license and he made the Super Eagles worse and caused problems amongst the players.
You've said it well.

Right now, one aspect of Falcons game dey fear me. And that is the defense and midfield cohesion. Long balls won't help us at this mundial. If they can't formulate a way to transit using each other, na big Shege dey load. We may have good legs in both sections, but if a system is not in place, alongside the discipline and the tact.....

Pushing and encouraging coaching license courses abroad till it becomes the norm. We need it on CVs. Then style of play again. We had none in this competition.

I don’t want to agree with dis phrase again of loaded with talents,7years of no football identity is a big no for me
The last decade has been horrible truly. But what we are seeing on individual level is a good thing (not the NT level o. We never gel on that aspect to be a force yet)

Our hands are so loaded with talents right now that we should be favourites for this Afcon trophy. Almost all positions in attack got double and equally lethal reps.

I pray for days where our football is no longer dependent on money as motivation to beat an opponent in the KO stages of a continental or World event.


I pray for days where it is not a big deal for the players in cadet competition seeing their FA president traveling all the way as ginger.


I really pray those days come cry embarassed


So Olympic boiz got 500k from SE captain as motivation? Anyway, it's the current state of things. Just hate that it is now the format. The MO. The Way.

That Linda Caicedo will definitely go to the world cup next year.

We can't say same for any 3players from the combo of our u17 and u20 teams. Add the Coach we have for the Super Falcons right now and it becomes even worse.

Mosaku has not been with us since the quarterfinals. I don't understand why he kept her in the game.

For me i would have rather put Adeshina on the wing than take her out and leave Mosaku.
A clueless coach that has barely been silent from the touchline for 10mins in over 400mins of football would never see that. I doubt he even feels like he has a bench.

For the first time in few months you said something applaudable to me… Coaching Coaching Coaching is one of the problems of Nigeria Football as a whole…

Imagine Germany U17 girls team been Coached by a UEFA Pro License holder ( The highest Coaching badge in Europe), while Nigeria team same can’t be said of..
A very sad and horrifying fact. They can't even read a game their opponents' formation and tactics and how to neutralize it in an instant. This archaic format of maintaining your initial formation sef ehn.


Besides, in this competition, we used 442 majorly. All pf a sudden, he changed it to 532. That 532 made Bello and Etim(bad pairing) to be up front.


To make matters worse, he subbed off the same Bello that makes our attack tick and left both Moshaku and Etim on. Ajakaye could barely make any impact. The understanding Bello has with her, into thin air.

532 changed to 433
Not even the usual 442 he's been using all through the game. Making Afolabi Totally overwhelmed in the middle. Then that bench just has no lifeline. Ineptitude of the highest.


The NFF has to start demanding for the best if we want to move up. But quota system veil will continue to deceive them. What next for him now?

If there is anyone to blame its the coaching crew and the coach himself...

the coaching crew were busy praying instead studying the Columbian goalkeeper strong side and informing the girls since the Flamingoes themselves didn't notice it...

The coach and coaching crew were relying on prayers and luck instead of teaching and coaching the Flamingoes about looking for weaknesses the opposition team have..
Totally agree.

I guess the idea of training sessions is one warped and old school format in the head of most local coaches. We kept doing as if we are experts in pk-meaning we supposed to have that in training



The Late Yemi Tella's u17 that became champs that year, we were glad to hear thar they took hours training for pk immediately the KO stages began. Now if they were all scared, those hours will increase confidence so fast, especially for the Gk. Only to hear from commentator that Bankole no even get pk list, and then seeing nobody eager to go take a pk. Yes, it happens. But just shows the cluelessness of this particular coaching crew. They just allow presido to waste flight money.

Adeshina and Bello should not have been taken out of the game. I don't get the favouritism towards Mosaku. She has not been in the last 2 games.
His stupid formation at the beginning caused it all. 532. So to revert back to a 433, he had to take out Adeshina. I barely saw any connect with Etim and Ajakaye after that switch. Mosaku disappears like wind. Maybe those birds picked her and flew away.
