Jorg and Saka actually. Cos Jorg touch ball. It was too soft a challenge. Aina own too but he kicked the calf, clipping him.

But kai is the one😂
Because say na kai and Jesus we get as striker, spy convert our wingers to part time strikers just to let kai kai of the hook
The fact that Sterling of alll people got an assist barely 5mins on the pitch further compound the woes for GJ and Kai. This Nwaneri go too cook if he see better striker near him. No mind spy jare😂😂😂
Those 2 players are not the best to take us where we want to.

Mali Women’s National Team Squad is currently on the rise they finished 4th at the 2018 edition in Ghana, They currently boost of some talented and experienced names right now…

They have the Players to compete in that group C… South Africa and Ghana should better watch their back because that’s the group of Death..

See few of their Big names that Will be leading the team…! And there are some other talents in France Division 2 that I know of…

1•Teninsoun Sissoko (32yrs) Center Back, Paris FC France 🇫🇷
2• Fatou Dembele (24yrs) Center Back, UDG Tenerife Spain 🇪🇸
3• Agueissa Diarra (26yrs) Forward, PSG Feminine France 🇫🇷
4• Aissata Traoré (27yrs) Forward, Fluery FC France 🇫🇷
5• Saratou Traoré (22yrs) Midfielder, Fatih Karagümrük, Turkey 🇹🇷
I'll put them next to Ghana because you highlighted. If not, i no dey feel them. But they got individual talents sha. This wafcon, na 1 North African team go see that semis.

Those 2 are harsh. Even commentator gree say e harsh. Compared to the challenges by forest that ref overlooks and wave playon for. If Partey enter 2nd half we go cook. This game supposed see hattrick for Saka. The rains though. We should be 3-0 up by now.

Yeah Ghana🇬🇭 is a team to watch out for, I would love to see them humble SA in that Group.. Is going to be tough, Mali have few of their stars in France right now and they’re very hot in form especially two of their Strikers playing for ( PSG & Fluery) ..

Is going to be a physical games in that group but the well Coached one should go through with SA & Ghana as favorites to go through...

Tanzania also have their own share of Higher Testosterone Players too especially that Clara Lavunga, If she plays then is going to be tough in that Group…

C, A and B in that order is the Strongest..

I wanted DR Congo 🇨🇩 in our Group though but didn’t come to pass.
Two Engine rooms of SA are in hibernating mode right now. Mothlalo and Dlamini. I dunno about Seope sha but this Ghana rebuilding in last 1year with all those high profile friendlies, I'm tipping them to top that group. Mali need to show us how they want to be taken serious anyway. Na that congo and Tanzania go be underdogs wey dey upset. I hope they're put in their place sha. Those guys dey fear me😂😂


I dunno why they didn't just let the wafcon be 4 groups. 3 groups is annoying. Best of luck to Ghana sha.

Both Nigerian teams in coaching debacle. I don't like it atall. Shows Gusau is not it.
SportsRe: Nigeria Female National Teams' Thread by daveP(m): 11:02pm On Nov 22, 2024
Ghana is that team everyone should watch out for. But Nigeria should have a convincing ride through IMO. Talent dey. It is now up to NFF to give this team a great tactician. Many may be satisfied with how local coaches fared in tournaments this year, but i am not convinced since 2022.


The barest minimum for Super Falcons is final show. No 4th place again.


What a sweet belle e go be if Nigeria sweep both men's and women's trophy. Can NFf make that reality?

Factory reset will happen if we trash the relevance of all these titles in social settings and rather hype anyone that helps uplift society and contributes to progress in communities. The craving for this commercial venture will die. But even this thought is not immune to bribery and corruption again.



Nigeria made a twin out of Bribery and Corruption that most Nigerian prefers to believe everyone else is like them, just to feel better with their miserable state of mind.

Y'all are robbers, cutthroats and sellswords.

You guys deliberately made Biodata Entry be a staff thing instead of allowing the hundreds of millions to enter their bio themselves. The aim for such was to input as much errors as possible so that when time for corrections come, it will be your fraudulent cash cow moment. To change DOB, etc is 16k. Are you guys having loose bolts upstairs?


It looks like you're tired of withholding what triggered all this cheating and fraud and you're confident to tell us what we already knew from onset.


Nigerian Agencies and making willing citizens to suffer because you want to hide behind the "job provisions for IT staff" something that should have been optional for everyone, esp aged folks that are not tech savvy.

Thank God for Nnadozie, I hope her type spring up in coming years if not all this trash we’re hoping on ain’t there at all…

Maybe time to try out Foreign Born, If they can’t prove themselves with the U17, U17, WAFU and CAF Champions League is it the SuperFalcons they want to come and show us that they’re good.
Simple and direct. No mincing words. They want me to be cuddling and cool when we've seen Oluehi and Nnadozie? Lol

Even the Jiwuaku i used to criticize he never came to defend her. I praised her for improving even if she still has lots to learn, he no see that one. Na Omilana and Oyono he go bring Hydra head for. If that makes me a hater, so be it. He should comman stop me for demanding visible improvement after 2 years.

When i criticize Demehin, Okeke, Alozie, NOTHING!!
NOBODY on Falcons is such my beloved favorite to make me deflect complaining when i notice any underwhelming performance. I even complained about Ijamilusi performance throughout, he never came to call hater for that. If he likes he should be absent when i dey praise someone next. undecided

But how do you want oyono to stop the corner in 90th minute? Tell us
Guy, her performance doesn't inspire anything, esp as many are touting her for a Falcons spot soon. It's not just about the corner but her overall performance. If you want to aim that high, we should be seeing such high level of performance from you. That's the expectation. And I'll continue to never be impressed until i see changes that makes her falcons quality. Does that now qualify me as a hater? Because i talk about uninspiring display. The bar has fallen obviously. The she was evidently Ijamilusi. Does that need explanation?

I'll praise, nobody go pop up until i criticize. Na me dey even try explain but i owe no one that, especially if emotions is going to be the forefront of any disagreement. What exactly about criticism is forbidden?

Don’t stress yourself we can’t beat Benin, South Africa and Rwanda away. The best performance we can get with this current team away is a draw. It’s takes deep hunger to win away in Africa and this team don’t have that level of hunger. Once they remember their club commitments like someone said they will start counting their legs 😜
Normally we can't, but if we put on our A game like we did at Afcon, nobody in that group can stop us from winning all 6. It's just the fact. So we currently have a discipline and attitude problem on the pitch and off the pitch. If all that is fixed, we'll fly like how Morocco were during this qualifiers.

You're right it's a daunting task but with the right mentality and a bit of good fortune they can still turn it around.

Going into those matches will require a warriors mindset players ready to leave everything on the pitch.

I also agree Sadiq, Iheanacho even Osayi should be excused. Osho still looks like he has potential given time but he needs guidance from the other senior players.

We should also be careful with our invitations not too many green horns to disrupt the flow.

At the end of the day it's only the attitude and determination of the players that will show the outcome. I've seen teams with the most below average managers still turn things around once the players amongst themselves decide to play. Under Rohr, JP, and AE are players have performed wonderfully while under these same coaches they have plunged the depths almost hitting crude so it's not solely a managerial issue.

Maybe if our past legends like JJ, Kanu or Mikel talk to them because now I know again.
I hope the legend talk will be effective anyway. Imagine seeing WC ticket at stake and seeing a crappy attitude on display. Like what else is the peak of national football if not a WC spot?

EEGA:
we can qualify for the mundial but we must start all our scorers in midfield i.e Bashiru and Onyedika.

A fully fit Bashiru will be crucial for our WC qualification.

Some teams double or triple up on our forwards whenever they have the ball and this leaves scoring to our midfielders.

Benin did this to Lookman and Osimhen in Abidjan.
My own is we have an emergency Situation for creativity.we revert to individual brilliance whenever creativity is below 40%
If we can get 1 or 2 talented creative boys from the u20 set of the last 2years, no p. We should get used to this 3man defense too. Anyone no eager to make this world cup ticket, player or official should be embarrassed. We don't need anyone helping to write the annals of consecutive wc misses right now.

As for scoring Midfielders, that one is down to tactical setup. It will also mean possession football. This Rwanda game got me pissed at how these guys were losing possession and not even able to recover it without a foul.

The had this game and let their guard down a few minutes to the end. A repeat of what happened to Sundown, only in the reverse.
I'll assess Ija later. The disconnect with Olise throughout this game made TP look so great than they ought to. It is obvious that the hattrick she got vs Algeria is because of the creative maestros on the pitch. I hope she improves her terrible passing game. Very terrible. Naaaah. I lost count of her misplaced passes today
SportsRe: Nigeria Female National Teams' Thread by daveP(m): 5:31pm On Nov 19, 2024
So technically, we can say that TP Mazembe scored 5goals in this game but 3 was accepted as clean

Same can't even be said for these girls cry

They've been wasteful and annoying with passes. Can't even win aerial duels but they keep kicking long balls.

As for Oyono.....we move.

All this won't have happened had she cleared that ball from going to the corner in the 90th minute.

Their errors are making this Mazembe team look good. The Nigerian Dilemma alrounda across all football teams.

Unimpressed with the misplaced passes from Ijamilusi. That RW needs Usani there near Essien. She's been back for most of this half.

Make God just epp us

Cos with this table like this, we need to win ALL 6 games left. That is the big business ahead of this team. The terror of missing consecutive World Cups should be the starter motivation to go alllllll the way. Anybody that is showing any rubbish attitude, no matter how talented, should getat. NFf should do their part and stop the mental gymnastics and get the manager that can take this team to the world cup now.


We don't want a nobody handling the WCQ because they plan to get a foreign manager after the December AFCON. That would never work.

6Wins
No loss
And a compact defense
No excuses for mediocrity. Bring on the A-game and dust away that 'no minnows' excuse. Our mediocrity birthed that crappy punchline excuse.

Once again, the two managers that contributed to this debacle.. i no wan swear for them.

All these testing testing with Tanimu and Osho, Sadiq should be thrown out the window.


This is possible if we take on a superiority and classy mental approach like we did at the last AFCON, but even more clinical on both ends.

Yeah, i should lower expectations. But i will after the 7th game of the WCQ. Till then.

No be setup. We are already in enough setup. We can as well drop our fifi imagination cos it's best that way. But to miss out twice from the WC will really wrap up the entire imagination, expectation and any -tion.
For now, we just need the best technical hands to flourish.

We didn't need a messiah. We needed a coach/manager who didn't just "know" the boys. But a coach who knows "what to do with the boys" and identify where we needed upgrades, tweaks or reinforcements.. Amuneke was that guy. His tactical ID is not a joke.

So dear Dave, it is not a messiah I was presenting. I was presenting a solution that I just knew would work. Amuneke doesn't even know about my existence same way many of the lads I speak about don't know about me. But what cannot hide after carefully studying a problem and seeking solution is insight.


We had a choice that was to decide our fate for the next few years. A choice that would either see us build on the Afcon2023 showing or destroy it.

Leave Peseiro as he was. Let us drown or fly with him. OR Appoint a coaching upgrade be it local or foreign and the best bet from the locals was definitely Amuneke.
Are you saying he knows alllll the boys? I don't like that his name always pops up everytime we take a dive. That's what gives him as the local coach that's a messiah, "someone that can save a team from a persisting predicament" but i know you already know that. For him to settle down and do what all his pro-EA keep saying he's capable of, the WCQ will have ended and i can't even risk another miss overall. You keep saying it will work, but i don't see it. Many of us don't see it either. What makes him better than the options available, foreign managers inclusive?

Jpes fired up this team to a height never seen since Covid. We didn't even need much tactically. In comparison, i can't see AE having same impact on this current team. Not now. He can prove me wrong tomorrow no doubt.

Let's stick to AE if there's no better option
And as for OKOYE... I reserve my comment
How you lose matters. We were leading afterall, meaning this game was ours to lose. And then they all slept off and suddenly we are on the backfoot under 7mins!! That's terrible by all standards. We have at least 6 Options to choose from, including Amuneke, even if I personally don't prefer him. Pedro is there too. We can't continue like this.
