Arteta should not give Hale End boys the impression that there's nothing any of them are going to do to be part of his process o. This is too bad.

6 don comot, and e wan add Nwaneri after losing Chido and Heaven??

Abeg o. Making those legends in the academy to feel like their labor is in vain is counterproductive abeg. MLS is the exception at this point.

What's this urge to take their scraps while they fund better players? Madueke that's not even better than Trossard

What happened in the World of sports in the last 48hrs is devastating. We haven't even adapted to Jota and Andre loss, only to hear one of our Legends, Peter Rufai, passed away due to illness. embarassed

That's a combined 6 in total from Sports World alone.

RIP to them.

The memory of that ojoro is still fresh in my head.. imagine been one woman down and yet the girls still attacked massively. Unfortunately for us, the goalkeeper was at her best that night.
That game was a nervy one.

A fully fit Oshoala should be dependable in such a game as well, although im expecting more from Rinsola, Esther, Deborah and Ihezuo this time sha.


I also hope the ladies are tested and trusted in PKs this time around. A repeat of that England shooutout should never ever be known.

I will rather say South Africa who are more organized and Morocco who are very tactical with technical players are ahead of them in the pecking order..

Truthfully if you can get down Banda, Kundananji, Mupopo, Mukoma and Co then they’re very much beat able..

Thank Goodness we have very Physical players in Midfield( Ayinde, Christy Ucheibe, Abiodun) who thrive alot in this kind of physical games…!
Congo might be there too. I however hope that when we meet Morocco again, we'll take them to the cleaners. That last encounter is still fresh in memory and the ojoro and all at play. I hope we contain Tigernut and Chebbak this time fully.

I believe the freshness in attacking power will make the difference. That their keeper turn to Olivia Kahn that night. Lol

What makes his backtracking good? Do you know how many millions of people were deceived by his many lies before now? And what makes you think the current path is not also a lie to be backtracked from? undecided

2. Huhhuh? Are you kidding? If you are referring to Jesus Christ of Israel, He is nothing like what these scammers-in-the-lords tell you all about. Christianity boasts of over 46,000 different idols of Jesus Christ of Israel with none of them anything like the original. huh
Kobo, i understand you. Better one that recognizes error and rectifies than one that is defiant and arrogant. Personally, i have enough to write epistles or books if i want to on subject matter but i just decided to write this simple one. I acknowledge the errors and misleading it has caused. It is devastating truly and like you are on, it deserves dragging no doubt.

As for if it is the right path or not, that is obvious to see anyway.

The thing is all these man-made structures that God didn't institute will collapse las las.

Gracious3105:
As a follower of Deeper life I would disagree with you to a very large extent.
Kumuyi, over the years, has always addressed issues like this. Sometimes, people are even surprised that he is the one saying such things. In 2008 or thereabout, he addressed many behavioural issues in the Church like marriage, offering, and even this same topic of covering the hair. At the time, some people thought he might die soon, which they believed was why he was preaching those messages.
Now, the way Deeper Life members behave is that whenever Pastor Kumuyi preaches about something, they tend to apply it to every area of their lives, often without limits and that has been a major issue.

For example, Deeper Life members used to see those who danced or gave offerings openly as sinners, until the Pastor addressed the difference between church traditions and Bible doctrines. He said that the fact that people do not follow DLBC’s laid-down traditions does not make them sinners. He referred to the woman in the Bible who gave two coins as an example of giving openly. He pointed out that if she had not given openly, how would Jesus and others have known that she gave two coins?
That's the problem there.. but if you knew the origins pf all these things, you'll know that there's been a softening from the extreme view levels to a more central original level.


It is bad to suspend one's brains every time any MoG speaks. Infact, throughout the Bible, MoGs spoke to restore the factory settings of a sound mind as a corrupted mind was not only the issue, but a pharisee-ical or warped/confused mind.

The good thing is he is backtracking now and we bless Hod for that but we can't overlook how many were victims of following every rule more than a soldier follows orders of his General.


The tightness is exactly what Jesus rebuked in the Jewish synagogue system and it is time DL makes the uptight ones relazz and breef now than ever before. May God open eyes daily and help those already discourage and disheveled. Hopefully more reforms of extreme rules that are now traditions.

Odunayaw:
Good point, I slightly differ that the prelim & first rounds be scrapped. There are 47 associations (as at this last CL), without those rounds some FAs will never taste continental football.
However it is nonsense that clubs like Raja Casablanca are still forced to do prelim & first rounds.
The top 12 associations should have the league winners settled in the groups.
Runner ups from the 12 can play against the winners of those who beat themselves in the prelim round.
That Super league nonsense should be scrapped.
That's where expansion can help to me. If 8 more teams are added to make it 24, that already cutting away of prelim games. Not to talk of when it is 32 teams.

The league winners, yeah. Fantastic idea. They've done their part in deserving that, especially as they're ranked top 12. Then the remaining 24 slots can go through just one round so we can make do with all these. Then coefficients can come in to determine if 2 or 3 total slots needs to go to one league.


Or better still, just increase the league slots for confed cup and make it a 32 team tournament. Atall atall(if they're too reluctant for changing the 16teams for the CCL). It will increase the rep of CCC.

It's just sad that CAF is still struggling with how Away teams are treated all rounda. The hammer is not wielded enough. If an existing rule is on ground for such conduct, it will reduce all these panel sittings IMO. They should leave anything committee for heavier matters.


Overall 16teams is undeserving, no matter what anyone tries to say.

Present continuous on delivery abeg. Man needs to increase our confidence in what he's got. We know the talent ceiling of the players already. If we can't see his tactical input in them, na to face front o. For now na just talent dey make us believe in this team. Coach side na still hibernation mode. Till then.

When will CAF get rid of this funny CCL and CCCformat abeg? All these extra rounds should be for non champions from low teams now. Why should a league champ go through an extra round after sweating all season to seal the spot? They should find a way to eliminate this round thing abeg and perhaps use league coefficients properly going forward.

16teams again?? Yeah, i understand all that tiny excuses but the repeat shows they're not doing what they ought to to make it 32. Generally, the continent still feels left out, asides these North Africans that are fully inclusive most of the time.


16teams is undeserving of CAF Champions League at this level. Naaah. If they can't do 32, 24 is there. We need more teams abeg. Swap out these prelim for actually extra games in tournament proper

The Coach didn’t play her doesn’t mean she wouldn’t get game time at the WAFCON. Let’s be patient WAFCON no far again..
At least for friendly she supposed see 5mins na. Especially if he doesn't intend to really use her in wafcon. Abi he trust her so much that her first rodeo is a wafcon game? Anyways we wait.

So North African clubs had no avenue for shenanigans at this CWC and see how it all played out. If CAF likes it shouldn't curb their nonsense on the home front so that football can be football and not a crime scene
If NPFL clubs like make they no sit up too alrounda. The money Sundowns got is one of the smallest but it can sponsor the entire NPFL season 10times over. Almost 200 times the prize money for champions. I hope they do what it takes to reach there and kick out enikeni that stands in the way.

I believe why many do not get their flowers enough (or no flowers atall) is because of the poor media hype around the team in entirety. Then add the journalists that have their faves or major focus too.

Imagine many just finding out about Echegini in the Cameroon and Portugal games, they finally called her Female Iwobi. Some dunno she even plays for PSG and Juve prior. Lol.

Ohale is one solid player that never gets her own deserved hype as well. Even if she seems reserved, the pen should do her justice alrounda.


No journo go see to hype Ayinde now, that it took Randy to do the needful away from the job o(Madugu don ever talk about the brilliance of an individual atall?) lol

And we really needed a runner in that Attack, Cause upfront we were lacking that fast and furious kind of wide forward we used to have in the days of Stella Mbachu, Rita Nwadike, Vera Okolo, Chichi Igbo etc that would run at you with the ball and cause havoc…
Cos of her speed precisely. I hope her teammates are in tune to that and i hope the manager is planning along side such an advantage too? No he where she go dey make runs and teammates go dey avoid or misplace pass o.
