I think the media teams normally tell them to. Cos it is like that during most tournaments.

Makes sense. Onyenezide and Imuran have definitely caught many eyes.

Danielnino00:
Lol. I agree the barking of orders were much (not that I heard them anyway, but post match comment from fans confirmed it), but it appear to be his style.. He was famous for it even at the last edition of the tournament... But as long as it works, it should be fine.. He probably does that because the girls are young..it's easier to coach them...If it was the super falcons,I don't think it will work .. Imagine him barking at Rita to run faster

His constant Calm down cal. Down shouts didn't really work. He needs to find another style. The girls are definitely hot blooded
It makes his job easier anyway. They are hungry. As it stands, it's tactics and discipline that looks like his major contribution here.

Looks like that 4141 formation really paid off.

I expected he removed Flourish. Maybe he wanted her to score. Only a goal and i hope she's not tracking Linda Caicedo o. She should just focus and play her thing.

Three favourites are out and that gives a booster. Japan though....

I won't be surprised if Netherland take up a cautious approach like Koreans did. They really need to. Our midfield pair are the most impactful to me asides the Spanish midfielders.

Oyono probably got carried away with her stats of a dozen saves in two games. The team physio needs to have a serious talk with her. She needs to be calm and think of doing her best to help the general course. The koreans noticed her fear and reacted fast. She was lucky against them. She's proved she can be up to the task, so why still silly and jittery?


Brazil vS Columbia is a must watch. Sad one of the two gats go home. Columbia are more revved up for the challenge and are also favourites. Linda is on fire. Unless it is quality of opponent. If we were in group A, we would have gotten a dozen goals.

Best of luck to the girls.

For now, most solid group performance are Rofiat Imuran and Onyenezide Esther.

mostob:
Exactly
But as it is, I think e don sure for like 6 of them.

She must definitely have one reputation in Europe that we are privy to, to be sincere.

mostob:

I noticed that too. Onye,Idoko and Deborah are the ones I can remember. I don't blame them sha...they need the exposure

Bottomline: Teams that beat the usual powerhouses need to be watched out for(that includes Falconets)

JohnBullMySon:
Lol. Which ginger? Na you dey the field?

Maybe cos I've been watching the age grade teams for quite a long time maybe. I don't think we're as powerful as we used to be. I set high standards for them in my head,

As against the France game, we improved in our passing. By a huge margin. Very impressive. But we must improve in our attack seriously. Mostly individual play. It's good for now btw.

I've not seen some of the other games. No time. I won't estimate or predict again so I don't turn out wrong again. Whether positive or negative.

The intensity has dropped. If you followed the Oshoala set, you'll easily agree. Especially the fans. But that's not just us alone. It's all the teams. But at this level still, powerhouses still have their reputation.

Usa
France
South Korea
Japan
Germany


Now you can't first of all beat a team like France, with players from Lyon and PSG and not be pumped up. And on a night the showers were heavy again, we still showed up down to the last minute. Give them their accolades.


As for the last match. Despite their own reputation, they recognized the facts from our france game and made their own tactical adjustment to frustrate us. Normally, they go rate us, and that showed, even with their attitude when attacking. But they respected us enough to pack the bus and that's fear too. Vice versa, we all know we'd be wary of such teams.


They still bossed them all rounda, except for shots at goal. I, personally, was already happy it would end goalless. Then Esther came through.

As for that attack, you're absolutely right. Someone needs to step up whenever's Flourish isn't threatening.

In conclusion, these girls are on full confidence from these two wins due to the calibre of our opponents, asides their own achievement prior to this competition.

Seeing Usa and Germany being schooled should tell you why it will be a diff ball game this time. We are part of would be winners as it stands, provided that attack comes alive like the defence and the solid midfield.

Dem dey teach USA lesson.


It's like this cup is ours to lose o

I know we've been recommending many of these girls to the senior team due to their performance so far. But i won't lie, Three need automatic drafting to the Falcons.


The goal scorer-Onyenezide
Demehin
Rofiat Imuran.

This will reduce that rubbish makeshifting at least. Plus we will have a skillful midfielder will a trick or two. We currently lack that.

TheSuperNerd:

Buga seem to be out official goal celebration song submitted to the PA Crew.

Johnbullmyson, nawa o. Why the pessimism over these gurls na. E be like una go continue o. Cos e be like ginger for proving otherwise.

TheSuperNerd:
Rofiat Adenike Imuran, #14, is quite a very good, strong, fast and technical left back. She, I like.

She did give away the ball once though but I think aside that, she rarely put a foot wrong. Very good LB coming through at this level.

Man U needs her more right now than Falconets. >:

TheSuperNerd:
Chinemerem.

I go deck you o nerdie.

Schemerkhiz:
These girls know how to serve opponent late breakfast...
Congratulations Falconet


Hopefully we would get a fit again Deborah Abeodun, Chioma Olise who came in for her tried her best but Abeodun is way ahead..

Goalkeeper Oyono getting better and better.

Oyono got 6+ saves in this game. Confidence building.

I said it. The brilliance needed to come from the midfield, and Chioma stood up just when everyone was ready for a goaless draw.

Seems this isn't Idoko's game afterall.

Okay, I'm full
This crossing needs its own special training for these girls abeg.

Samueltemi337:
Too much long balls

Dunno why Demehin is even attempting that when we haven't successfully utilized one. Noticed our fullbacks aren't really assisting like that too. Imuran is on the cautious approach so far. The one time she burst forward, we threatened. This is the game our midfielders need to shoot as the attackers drag players with them.


These Koreans are confident of their own shooting prowess, unlike us.


Good thing we outplayed them. But end result is needed and one or two must change.

Our 11 looks like she's struggling with a knock or so. Amoo. Counter will do the trick, but while our passes are even better, we aren't really on the nut cracking approach right now. These Koreans sabi positioning and they're playing 451 again. They seem pleased that we didn't trouble their keeper. We need to reduce the heavy touches and increase the 1-2s.

Onyenezide has done well so far. Looks like no point-girl.

Beginning to feel like Everytime Ball land for Jerry Joy leg, nothing comes out. But...

Jerry Joy needs to calm down and connect with her nearest mate.

Korea dey fear ni? 5-girl defence!

mostob:
That is her natural stature o

I don taya

mostob:
you mean you don't know Zogg...as in our very own Onyinyechi

i confuse cos she looks petit here.

pls, what's her name @ pic?

Nketiah will have a long hurdle seeing minutes o. Well Europa is there for rotation.


White can't play Yasu RB atall. Cedric even plays it better. A 3 man defence will come to use one day this season. That Martinelli goal. He hustled the ball and passed then strolled in to go score. Those kind of goals were plenty under Wenger. E dey sweet belle. Esp when its Alexis/Santi/Ramsey doing it.

Deltamani:
Game Day…. The ever Pacy and energetic Franny Ordega



Last Weekend she scored 1 and gave 1 Assist.

She no apply makeup this time? (Intended)
