Nice design.

The Lionesses captain is just 25yrs old. Leah. Like 5 egbon dey the team o. Ehen

Exactly what Pep should’ve asked his City lads to do when playing Real Madrid in the semifinal with the 2 goal lead and a few minutes left in the game … possession football, kill the clock!

he wanted to dominate instead of doing what's right. Overthinker!

Danielnino00:
Shooting from outside the box is another aspect the super falcons need to work on... I've observed that Southern African teams at all level are quite good with it ..

Some basics and our team will be really a force to reckon with. We've shown we got the endurance and intensity for extra time, even better than these two. Wiegman really sabi extra time tactics. I give it to her.

Women Euros Final Lesson: If your team no sabi shoot shoot from outside the box, oyo for una.

Alaba have been a Short goalkeeper right from her U20 days.. Her positioning and abilities to Lift higher have been some of her advantage…

You didn't answer for the specific scenario i gave anyway

Some players just have that natural chubby look ...it doesn't mean they're not fit.

It matters absolutely. Can she flight if a German or an American striker gives a volley from outside the box? Abeg make we call it what it is

mostob:
We just need to be cautious. 2 banks of four (Ayinde,Otu,Ucheibe,Payne), (Ashleigh,Ohale,Pat,Alozie) and 2 pacy forwards...we should do long ball and inshallah

Biggest defeats were all 8-0(thrice). I doubt it can happen again

mostob:
I cried that day...2014 was more painful than 2010. Oshoala scored already and Ayila just had to do oversabi ...chai.
I was thinking the game will get to penalties and they scored in extra time. I no fit chop that day

2010 was an interesting match. Ebere Orji(where is this girl sef) and Glory Iroka(that short mama) ran the show. It was even on a rainy Sunday.

Chai...we Don suffer for Germany hand sha

If this present Germany team catch Togo or Senegal ehn....

Plus this geh wey ait add to their song. Esther Sunday. All just disappear. 2014 was more painful sha. Cos we came too close.

mostob:
If we jam the Germany, we better park aeroplane instead of bus...

If na that one, we sabi. But clean tackles?? No ashwarance

mostob:
Oparanozie was not part of that 2014 U20 squad.

I keep mixing up.

mostob:
And those we parade here dey beef one another. SMH

You get!!!

Like, do they need external forces or middlemen to be at peace? Why can't they just allow peace and harmony flow and understand what the power of unity is? It's complicated too sha. Cos all those doing loyalist to top dogs in our administration are a problem as well.

We go reach there. ONLY IF we want to.

The more we play these teams,the more we improve. Let them give us baptism of fire
No be this Poop break our heart that year...was it 2010 or 2014 sef.... See her mouth

2014.


These semifinalists, what they'll do to the other Wafcon teams ehn...

Hopefully, all 4 shock the world and make a statement

mostob:
I'll rather take France. I'm afraid of these England and Germany teams. make we no go dey see double digits scoreline.

France no go add anything. Na the pk really give them edge that year. Let the goals come. Or we use it to replicate the Morocco park the bus, this time against a bigger opponent.


That game shows we can, but we just don't reach premium level when we should. Chai.

mostob:
more than 4 have senior caps. Njoku and Dike played for falcons. 3 are still active... Kanu , Oshoala and Ayinde.
The team was so talented and Asisat? Oh my God....I wish she an just give us another similar tourney performance even if it's just once.

The 4th is Oparanozie. As she no dey? So just 3 then.

"I've been an international for more than ten years. The team spirit we have in this team right now, I have never experienced anything like that. That makes it so special"

-Alex Popp


Hmmm.

We'll meet one of these semifinalists in the WWC group stage. E sure me. I don't want France again.

mostob:
The squad then... Ugo Njoku, Nnodim, Ayinde, Oshoala, Dike and Ayila were such a joy to watch then. Then, Uchechi Sunday too...the lampost

This team, only three left with senior caps. Two still active in the senior team. Chai


Na that Courtney own still dey pain me. Can't imagine how it would have been if she was still in our XI.

mostob:
We should fix a friendly with this team later this year.
We have US already, Germany, England and France should follow.

If we want to improve, we should normalize friendlies with the Europeans for now. It will instill being careful in their blood. I will drop France and put Netherlands. Seeing Popp is making me pray we have a player like her that will transition successfully from cadet level to senior team and become the pinnacle of the team, while still her usual calm and simple self.


Notice the big difference between their WOTM and our Helix Mathset WOTM. I'm i harsh?

6 - Alexandra Popp has scored six of Germany's 13 goals at the 2022 Women's Euros (46%). Popp has scored six times from 17 shots, while the rest of Germany's squad has combined for seven goals from 75 shots. Precision.


Copied


This young girl has turned to the most lethal female player on the planet. It's her precision for me, compared to her other teammates. She doesn't even act like she's bossy or too special despite this.

Schemerkhiz:
Coach Peter Dedevbo.,

This memory. Chai.

E no go good if Ajibade especially miss World Cup games o. Beginning to look more like some witchhunt to ruin our World Cup for us. Smh.

AkinDs, Chai. Your write get one very big comma


Absolving the Nuga coach from blame for this Wafcon poor outcome. Like this is obvious even to female journalists and haters of our team.

Did you know his assistant, that mama, she's the one that influences the subs? You also know she's the one that most likely get Rita on the pitch. I hear she's his mentor or so. Besides my point though. But this man can't even read the game and make changes accordingly. The SA game is proof. The Botswana game is another proof. He is no tactician. He is a handler. Simple!!!!


That man can't do nothing with the team on the grand stage, influenced by his input.

If you doubt it, go and watch 2018 clips and 2022 clips. The girls are playing the exact same way. Meaning he adds virtually nothing as much as a change in style or strategy to the team.


I can't ignore we have many problems. They are many as you outlined, and Randy Waldrum is very much one of them


Compare with his counterparts at this Wafcon, and be fully convinced

isan:
I don't know if anyone notice this anytime the defenders are with ball the midfielders hide behind the opponent pressing instead of making themselves available for pass and this will force the defenders ohala-ebi to used long ball only plumptre always calm and move forward with the ball and find a forward pass , also anytime we win the ball back in the opposition half the midfielders are always eager to play back pass

This Eagles Tracker guy on YouTube has highlighted it in the best possible way. He even said we were more threatening when we transitioned on the ground.


Overall, one thing i notice is that if we just remove Ohale laidis, eye go clear everybody for this team.

As for those back passes, it's cos they lack vision. They no dey look up. Ordega, Okobi, Kanu.... They no dey look up.


The Cameroon game. While Okobi was stopped in tracks before she passed to Ify, she spotted Ajibade's postioning, she didn't need to look again. Goal.

These are some slack aspects of our game. We won't even need muscle if we can improve on this passing aspect. A dedicated manager can help to be honest.

If you want to know how sorry our state is right now, watch England vs Sweden tonight. You'll see some basics that doesn't need class to be involved before it can be applied.

Am not in agreement with him, the koko is that we take defeats very badly, instead of going back to knew what went wrong


Tell me, if we had defeated Morroco, will Godwin pen that article , and blaming the Nff, will he


As it is now almost everybody is calling for Randy's sack, with few months to worldcup

I won't be surprised if we get Another AE situations on our hands again

All the Ifs you put in this post is why it is a game. Preparation affects result as well. What you're trying to project is the place of luck which is not always going to save the day. Infact, ref favour will help a team more than luck. Morocco is there.


Despite all that, is it not obvious the efforts the Moroccans put into female football? Can you deny that regardless? Did you see the setup for just this team alone? Have we at any point in time had such a setuo for our female teams? From Akide down to Ajibade. Abysmal is abysmal. And it should bear its name.


Our sports is in chronic sickness levels despite the talent. You sef no taya? The female team setup needs to change for good, and no analyst or journalist is going to stop airing that opinion on the grounds of solidarity and patriotism. Fact.

They didn't even do anything and Randy don fire shakabula their way. First coach doing that. Better call a spade its name.

do4luv14:
It not just about what Godwin said, it had been going on since time, show me any of our govt, that made and released budget on time for any sporting events

Even when hosting too, show me, from the military era to this present dispensation in which we are.

Godwin should come and tell us what he had observed, that makes him pen the post of his,

Thing is those country are more stable than us, and so is their Economy, which makes them plan ahead, but can same be said of us

Those journalist list posting negative vibes about our systems without giving 2 fuxks, and when they are later appointed, they end up not making any inroads, I. E Sunday Dare,

What are his plans for our sport

In conclusion, you're still in agreement with Godwin. You just don't want us to put the blame as harsh as we are doing it. How is that being negative? Do you think its only our journalists that do such?


The British media make our journalists look like saints, same table o.

Call it as it is, else it's just a delusional stance. Wack is wack. Mediocre is mediocre.


Efforts and dilligence to change the norm are what makes things to change for the better. Politicians are not, and should never be sport administrators in our own setting. It's absolutely abysmal!!

Rasheedat Ajibade and Osinachi Ohale makes CAF xi

Zineb over Tembo and Payne was probably cos she attacked more, better. Her crosses are even better. Trent style. Defending was not even up to the other two.

AkinDS:
In the same vein, its odd that she was silent on the men's award, which was also based largely on club performance.

Look, Oparanozie by now should have been smart enough to realize that her words carry some weight - that was what got her into trouble the first time. She obviously hasn't learnt a thing from the past. Truth is, I really think its time we dispensed with all these old Mama's on the team in order for the younger ones to grow and for the mental health of the team.

Its time for the likes of Onome Ebi, Rita Chikwelu, Ngozi Okobi and Desire Oparanozie to be permanently excused from the team, in order to have a breath of fresh air. They are way to toxic and are stifling the ability for the team to blossom. I assure you, they will NOT be missed at all (case in point - Ucheibe vs. Chikwelu, Plumptre vs. Ebi). Let the young ones thrive without all the drama and negativity from the old ones, please! Haba!

I don't know the origin of this thing, but it has been a longstanding lens through which they see each other. One day, those privy to the whole story will forgo decorum and villians may turn saints, vice versa. Another Wafcon and the fact remains that the crews in the team is a big issue only a serious coach can address.

13months away i think, let's see what happens las las.

FIFA U20 W/C: Falconets Set To Depart Colombia For Two Weeks Tour


Ahead of the 2022 FIFA U20 Women's World Cup in Costa Rica, Nigeria's Falconets will in the next few days depart the country for a training tour of Colombia to be in shape for the tournament, BSNsports.com.ng reports.

The Nigerian side qualified for the biennial competition in style beating their opponents including Cameroon to book their place.

They have been in closed camping in Abuja under Christopher Danjuma as their coach and are prepared to intensify their training as the competition draws closer.

Nigeria Football Federation head of communication Ademola Olajire while speaking to the News Agency of Nigeria said the training will be for a week and from the crossover to Costa Rica for the World Cup.

"The national under-20 women football team who have been training in Abuja will depart for a one-week training tour in Barranquilla, Colombia,” he said.

Falconets will open their campaign on August 12th against France before playing Canada and Korea Republic later in the tournament.

My hopes are high on these girls. Can't wait for a new Asisat and Oparanozie. If we fit see a Courtney Dike sef, i no mind. The setup towards that set that year suppose be blueprint in a way, plus improvement on the lapses off the pitch. If effort is just about representation and not intention for next big star, then these girls are at the mercy of another evil administration

isan:
How many team falcons fit beat for here ?

Just 3, convincingly o. We can win by slight margin, 2.
Just 5 we can draw with(goal goal), provided the keeper and defender communicate well(one of the biggest undoing of our female team in last 3 WWC)

Nigeria/Spanish Young star Vicky Lopez bid farewell to Madrid CFF



Report has it that she's heading to Barcelona Femenino

Up to Ohale and Oshoala to help get her if she's that good. That's an upgrade move.
