I still remember the riots in Abuja stadium. 😂

But this set will be totally and forever silent if they fail to go anywhere. Infact not even an AFCON trophy win will lift that embarrassment if they fail to qualify for WC. It's that bad.


For now, it is helpful seeing they mean business this time. If Chelle can have some "the boss" aura of Late Stephen Keshi, e go good.

Renee is really doing well in the UWCL. I'll say we've got a chance there than the WSL cos Chelsea right now are like Liverpool -no weakness or drop of momentum to cause big hopes.

Na Heaven save us. That backline disappointed throughout the game. Very wack defending, especially how they switch off and prefer bunching during setpieces. I'll take Paris FC GK, Nnadozie over that GK.


Very very lucky we held on till the end.

At the very last 20 seconds, they almost mad it 4-4 from a setpiece. It is safe to say, this setpieces thing is the Achilles of our Women's team. I hope they fix up before the UWCL KO fixtures.

Observation: our PK has reduced drastically. Most pk we won were not by in box foul like when auba and Laca were here. Bukayo has singlehandedly won most of the pks under Arteta. Nobody else.

After GW31 last season we were on 71 from 3rd position to 1st. 22W 5D


This season, 9D as at last season, that was the number for Westham in 8th position.

27points and we dropped 18 is crazy.

‪Remo Stars Ladies goalkeeper, Charlotte Adjei 🇬🇭 is currently the best goalkeeper in the Nigeria Women’s Premier League this season so far…!

I’m still wondering how those Nasarawa Amazons players easily get into the SuperFalcons squad 😂😂😂

Nigeria need to do better, give opportunity to the rightful (Qualified) players not selling the slots to the so called Nasarawa Amazons players when they don’t even deserve it.! It’s killing the National team especially the Home Based ones, when we don’t invite the best how do the public clamor for more of them.!
I thought it used to Rivers Angels and Delta Queens that year.

Remo get 3
Edo queens got 4
Falcons quality from my POV
Ekiti Queen got 1
Amazons get 1

Proven what? What did they prove?

I understand the sentiment though. We are all Africans and we love the AFCON so naturally we support our own. However, you and I know the honest truth. No football fan in his right mental state will think that Afcon and Euros are equal in terms of quality.
Ani na still you dey bring in that equal talk. Nobody raised equality.


World cup is major
Club world cup is major
Copa and Afcon is major


Does that mean all are equal?

This has nothing to do with sentiment. I still love the Rio Ferdinand statement. It is the voters and journalists for these individual awards that are sentimental towards a major tournament and it is hugely due to bias and ignorance. They should goan step up. Afcon too will step up each tournament. But to think na we wey dey support afcon as major dey sentimental?? Seriously?? 😂😂😂😂😂

JohnBullMySon:
The context was Balon d'or. AFCON might be a major tournament in the context of confederation cups. It could be competitive and entertaining. That does not make it on par with the Euros in terms of quality, which is what determines the Balon d'or. Your SS2 vs SS3 derby was also competitive and entertaining. Competition is relative, entertainment is subjective.

CAF best players developed and play among Europeans, CAF best squads are made up of Afro Europeans, ranging from 50% to almost the entire team in some cases. Morocco achieved the best record for an African team in WC2022 with a squad full of half-europeans. The success of African tournaments in recent times can almost be directly traced to The european football industry. If the by-product of Europe is improving Africa this much, it isn't wise to think that somehow, AFCON can stand toe-to-toe with Euros.
Lol. You're trying so hard abeg. It Is independent of this context. Henry, Wright, Sturridge, Micah, and many other European journalists have all proven this. They all agree Jamie said rubbish. No need to beat around the bush joor.

If not for the fact that his statement is stepping on the sensitivities of black people, what he said is not far from the truth. I appreciate how far we've come, but you cannot say that AFCON is equal to Euros. We are not there yet. If he said the same thing about CONCACAF nobody will argue with it.

If I tell you that the Belgian League is as big as the EPL would you agree?
There's no tournament that has the kind of attention Euros has in the world of continental football. It doesn't mean other continental tournaments are not more competitive and entertaining than it. The crux is if AFCON is a major tourney and that is why that Carragher is getting dragged. He was corrected twice and he scoffed twice. Nowhere in his head does he want to take it as major. That's the height of dumbassery. And his bosses have a different pov and that's why they didn't upload it to their sites as well.


AFCON is more competitive and entertaining than Euros. The last one is enough as evidence.


Jamie Carragher is too wrong and that's a stubborn corner to stick too despite the correction. I trust Thierry.. if he was in that room, he go bend.

It has nothing to do with the CAF president but the same reason why a Gasperini will say shit about Ademola!
It has o. The external dey. The leadership of Caf too get their own. Always playing 2nd fiddle to these guys. Under his tenure, the way scheduling has been is not good. Especially the female football.

Roland17:
Isn’t this what I have been wailing about for nearly 4 years now? The season he choked qualification for the UCL, we had two opportunities to make top 4 but he chocked it. Under this guy we never raise our game when it matters most.

Forget all the aura and vibes nonsense, this team is mentally weaker than cotton wool. We also don’t have a strong voice amongst the players on the field or inside the locker room. There is absolutely no character. I questioned making Odegaard a captain, he don’t think he has the capacity to push this team on or off the field, it doesn’t question his talent in any way.

This has always been how we start and end the season, nothing different.
Omo.

When Liverpool lost to Forest, Arsenal drew with Man City.

When Liverpool drew with Newcastle, Arsenal drew with Fulham.

When Liverpool drew with Fulham, Arsenal drew with Everton.

When Liverpool drew with Forest, Arsenal drew with Villa.

When Liverpool drew to Villa, Arsenal lost to West Ham.

The challenge has been weak as Arsenal failed to capitalise every single time. A lot to learn from this season.

To capitalize is the Arteta problem every single time.

When squad full, he didn't
When squad average, he didn't
When squad get injury, he didn't. New excuse

It's the quality of the teams that's annoying the most. The low teams. And the difference is that recruitment and sense/adaptation.

Everytime we dropped the points na the same one-way format we dey use. We didn't tweak an inch in the setup or approach.
