I am not just worry about Madugu's because I know he's gone already,what I don't want are those clueless idiots in NFF to retain their jobs

He actually said this before the game day. By inference, man is tired of taking the heat alone. Smh

A federation can be terrible and the coach and players can still brave up and do the needful. The Late Yemi Tella(God bless his soul) did it. Siasia did it as well.


So for Madugu, he is terrible and mediocre for this outcome. This is his football. He is the African Arne Slot!!!


All his sentimental supporters that made all that saw this ahead and labeled us haterz are now pleased ba? You think we can't display faith in the midst of systemic failure like you did? We chose not to cos this ship and the sailor were bound for destruction even if it left the shores.

Whatever the hell this is, is an indictment on local coaches cos at the hand of two now, we miss out on the World Cup for both teams for the very 1st time ever


Finidi George and Justin Madugu


Maybe they were better in the past and such opened doors for all these trials and error. But they're not getting any better whatsoever. They're not here for better careers as Coaches/Managers. And don't bring the nonsense luck trope in here. this is not only the reward for systemic failure. This is the reward for mediocre with its supporters despite the handwriting on the wall

Support in the midst of blatant failure.

Na why APC still get strong following or any other political party in different states. Smh

AkinDS:
It’s called ‘Madugu-ball’ 😉

Maduball

So WarHammer is saying Man is using Cameroon approach vs SA?

From scoring easy peazy with 1st 20mins to finding it hard to score in every 1st half to now having it as a trademark??
Which kine downgrade be dis?

FiveFootNinja:
Guy I just weak.

Even if we make it tonight, no vote of confidence for this to be our reality any further. This is u17 girls level of intensity. Chaii

The way he sounded in the last press conference shows he don vex

I hope he never take the saboteur route laidis? He sef dey vex with nff and with the media dragging.

"he won us wafcon" see how e dey set up team.

Yet you want result anyhow anyway.

Michealy will have to perform excellently at 2 WWC to be seen as better than Nnadozie abeg.


What she did is not new. One reason I'll continue to hype Tochukwu Oluehi is what she did to win us that title in Accra vs South Africa that year. That is bigger than what Michealy is currently doing. But Michealy has potential to dominate the spotlight even better than Dlamini and co.

I mentioned this problem with Nnadozie in la decima but winning madr many feel i was overreaching.


All are elite
But Nnadozie, as far as caf gks are concerned, is in a class of her own all by herself. That's why her form is even more annoying and embarrassing.



For all its worth, Comfort and Fatima better be ready to fill in. Na one game we take know Nnadozie. Na one game we take recognise Michealy. The duo better get ready. No time for jellyfishing.



As for el capitano, i feel for her sha. But that's responsibility. This armband arrived due to issue with leadership that year. Make she gbe bidy sha.

Schemerkhiz:
Like do you get…

The Triple O

Oparanozie, Oshoala and Ordega…

Pace, Power and deadly Finishers

Their sync that year again. I miss Oparanozie I won't lie

PDPGuy:
Haha

That scenario would be almost analogous to how the Super Eagles were the best African side at the 1998 World Cup, despite missing 2 consecutive AFCONs 😁

If we didn't miss those two, we would've done what Morocco is currently doing at Fifa World Cup level. Rhythm killed. And had both Afcon titles in the bag

Scenes where the teams for the Caf playoffs are now the ones that will do Africa proud at the world cup while the 4 semifinalists go to just mark Attendance and drink Ls and goals.


(Raises hands like Sabinus)

AndSunGorilla:
African women's football has changed. We really need to sit up as a nation.

Nation fit sit up but if the mediocre sports system is not dumped for something fresh like mint, menthol and air, we rinse and repeat. We need to choose between it can only get worse versus it can only get better.

TheSuperNerd:
Cameroon wins oooo.. Hahahahahaha...

3-1 on PK shootouts. Michaely literally carried Cameroon on her back past Nigeria and now past Morocco. Lol

If only Cameroon can at least have Malawi Attack. They'll be like the 2016 Super Falcons team

ekehopp2:
Malawi coach Lovemore Fazili e be like Madugu clone.
Our WOWO (we only want Oyibo) people will say no be him dey work, na the Malawian players.
The man is on the verge of making the finals

African coach constantly being disrespected, despite all they go through to achieve results
(fighting for respectable pay, friendly matches opportunity, coaching autonomy)
Chai!

Chai.

No comparison here

His FA knows he's a coach
His FA didn't interfere or control squad Selection
He is also lucky due to the sisters carrying the team
There's still individual brilliance at work.
The entire team are ready to die on the pitch
A young team as well


Are things this bad we have to throw in this card? If we were okay this comparism won't even happen. Chai

ekehopp2:
Na wah for Una oh. Why are we so obsessed with foreign born players? She's currently 36 years old by the way . Yetunde (Yewande) Balogun

Didn't know she's that old o

AndSunGorilla:
Make dem fire the man asap.

Gusau don dey dance. Mtchew. We need hypo, sniper, jik, morning fresh and fine coat for our football sector.

ekehopp2:
Big one. Will be the first time she's loosing her spot since 2019 when she became number 1.
Toh, such is life.

I wish they kepts that yankee GK that was later dropped. What's her name again. yetunde

So baba don give hint say Nnadozie no go keep on Thursday fa? That's not the only change he gats make abeg.

A section of the fan base wan Gyokores sold cos of Alvarez
And now that rumors of Arteta and Berta willing to sell MLS has popped up, i dunno why this is happening


It it comes to shove, let MLS stay and be a Tony Adams than Gyokores.


I personally believe both should stay and contribute. I'm not ready to see MLS in the jersey of any rival right now. Plsssss.

Can't do that against PSG and Madrid and suddenly want to offload him. He's a keep. Arghhhh

Nomyth:
Don't mind them, what catching up?

Nigeria is still miles ahead of the nearest competition just that this year is just not our year.

The Cameroon that defeated us yesterday were they better than us in the game. In fact, they know their limitations hence the reason they went ultra defensive. Nigeria gave everything, the ball just wouldn't go in.

For those saying others hv caught up, how many of the teams that hv qualified for the world cup can they vouch for to win a single match at the world cup?

It takes a large volume of delulu to inject into the veins to continue to act like nothing dey appun

If na sentiment based on say na padi padi dem, e clear. But it's worse if no be padi dem levels but still refusing to see a problem.


Perhaps no standards afterall

Person go make critical analysis of a situation that is becoming Achilles heel, someone else will stand and continue to brush it off and make excuses upon excuses while attacking the former.


What exactly is your own metric of failure that need to happen for you to accept that indeed, that bar has fallen or crashed?


And if you ever arrive at an answer for the question above, when did the journey to failure begin? Or you think a successful team suddenly took a swerve off the road and crashed?


That's why i keep saying it is so Nigerian cos this very sentimental problem cuts across EVERY Govt agency and parastatals.


A failure of a boss have no conscience to step down or resign. Rather he goes about Beating his/her chest about promotion or retaining the same post.

So we ask, albeit in funny English


how failure must failure be before you accept the inevitable?


We don't see teams like Spain and England, France, doing this thing.

Im used to saying that there's a way you will play that even if you lose, everyone including opponents will stand and applaud you cos you showed class but were unlucky or outclassed.

Super Falcons Currently don't play that way. All Cameroon had to do was just do 451 and 541. They surrendered to us having the ball and we couldn't break them down. Duels, 1v1, we failed. Aerial balls especially.


An now I'm seeing a subgroup that will turn to Vhagar and Drogon if you blame Madugu, that very subgroup are all over blaming Esther Okoronkwo for not passing to Zee. Asif that is why we are mainly here today.


We need factory reset. I guess some of us are too close to the players or the coaching crew that we don't want to bee seen as "enemies" when criticism is due.

Draw a graph and plot a trajectory of highs and lows for this team we've been watching since primary school days and tell me if this is not the lowest of the lows.


We need a Factory reset.
A true leader will take a bunch of misfits and transform then to titans. Sadly, these players are good already.
Many have gone crickets cos its a mental cope to be silent than talk about this terrible state. 😂🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️
"this phase will pass" mental vacuum. Eeyah.

Talk plenty abeg.

daveP:
I agree with you. But they'll say we dey do busy body.

When Ellis and that Moroccan coach were dominating, we saw the philosophy and tactics even as rivals. I guess the right substitutions in that final will continue to be his covering until further notice.

This was in October.


I'm just 1/9 on this thread that have seen this nonsense since

ekehopp2:
Can we accept that other African teams have vastly improved.
Thats what i see and not so much a case of we have seriously declined.
The only fairly easy game was Egypt.

All this hate on Madugu and our indigenous players is disgusting.
it speaks of inferiority complex when we constantly only call for foreign coach, and naturalization of foreign born players as the way forwar.

Let's keep calm and support the team towards the playoff qualifier game vs south Africa.

Naah!! Please, dont do the boldened. Pls.


This card is the Nigerian Ace card of failures in sports in the last 2 decades. I stopped using it after 2014 myself. I realized na we dey do ourselves. It would have been better if we are learning from our mistakes and errors and setting then as the standard to never fall under ever again.


But No, we don't. We just keep recycling failure steps and expect different outcomes so we can Thank God.

The Super Eagles team is top 4 talented packed and loaded team in Africa yet them missed b2b World Cups while doing well on the Caf competition.


Same with last Wafcon until now.


I totally disagree with the boldened. That's a stale card to whip out as excuse for the obvious failures and neglect of this beloved Falcons team.


SA
Nigeria

These two are suffering from their own self destruct patterns albeit in different ways. It's not because anybody is catching up


Infact this catching up excuse is self indicting


It infers and concludes that we are indeed stagnant while minnows are upgrading

Whichever way you choose


But overall, let we Nigerian fans dump the usage of the boldened abeg.

It is 2 games

The barest minimum is getting a goal under 45mins. We need to stop this leaving it late thing. It is mentally exhausting.


Eveb if we get through via playoff spots, I won't change mouth about the lack of tactical efficiency.


Egypt shooot 5 and got 2 goals.
Cameroon should 1 and got a goal. Then had 5 more shots.

We have done doubles all through and still find it hard to net when it matters.

I pray we sort out the setpieces issues to.
If any team should be lethal and dangerous in caf women's football, it should be Super Falcons.

solonnachi:
Going forward, we really need to beef up this team with the likes of Plumptre, Okeke, Nicole Payne, Flourish Sebastian etc. I don't mind going after the U17s and U20s and quality foreign borns.

I no go lie, if na foreign borns, Nigeria is loaded enough to have a whole starting XI of FBs and extra 7 for bench. But.... But.....


Discussion for another day.

isan:
The u17 team that shoot from anywhere..... Nigeria problem is from the grassroot ...the thing i blame madugu for is he could have give the team more depth by dropping the likes of Isah , Ogbonna , imuran , ordega

Yes, that's part of the blame. Their intro was even suspicious. Chioma Olise deserved a spot and if anything at all, one cadet play should be the 26th.

But that's just 1/16problems with Madugu overall.

Na him choose them. Na still him no use them. Which means high chance that even if na better players he use swap them, no guarantee he go sabi utilize them to his own advantage in the first place. They were "Mark Attendance addition. I for add Oloko but she's a good GK I won't lie.


Isn't it a shocker that the Puppet and Puppet Master Method has so infatuated the NFF as regards appointments that they rather self destruct that take a risk to upgrade from the norm?


Because say two oyinbo surround am no mean say e guide.

As for grassroots, we need actual ex-Falcons at the helm, not men like Olowookere and co. Let the legends with the CV get those jobs. It will be way helpful than all these handlers.


Its not hard to spot a handler.

Before this wafcon began, i tipped Morocco favouritism to make them win no matter what we do. If only i knew we would press the red button ourselves without need for them to use ojoro to edge us out.

We should finish that play off in the 1st half.

If anything at all, based on the "handlers" of the female cadet teams this same passes problem is there since 2022. Same long balls trope for u17 and u20. There was some difference with the Moshood/Harmony set though.

Smh.


This is historic for both a coach and an NFF president.

Massaging rubbish to soften the truth should not be among us. We can't grow that way.
This was set in motion after the last world cup.

Perhaps it is best to admit many have the gift of foresight


Should it really even be a gift when all you need do is be critical about analysing beyond sentiments?


What im currently afraid of is this might be the beginning of rebuilding process. I'm not really ready for that especially if na Gusau and Maiduguri go dey in charge.

Madugu Stans think those identifying problems are haterz and enemies.


This thing is a Nigerian thing and Hundeyin and Elnathan John don write about this thing wella.

We do it the most in sports. We let sentiments becloud facts and stats. And always, it is always black and white Aka "if you're not supporting Madugu and so so so, then you're an enemy of this team"



It's not always black and white. Im really pained to be doing some I told you so for this same set of players that defied odds at 2022 and last World cup. How Madugu Stans can't see we are a shadow of ourselves is what makes me wonder if there's a catch to this thing. Are you guys so close to power you can't use the objective lens no more or what? 🤔🤔🤔


Almighty Falcons using Playoffs style alongside SA!!?

At least SA own is due to decline by Age. But ours is the disjointed and lack of philosophy. With SA, they maintain the philosophy but refused to upgrade too. One can see the upgrade with Morocco.

But with us, stringing passes is some Thanos Herculean task.


We have no business being here.
But if you pretend you dunno why, then we need to question your genuine love for the team that have ruled Africa Women's Football for so long the barest minimum was always reaching finals.
