Chidi is heir to that super falcons No9 position.......I hope coach madugu is watching chidi and moshood and shouldn't be saying they are too young

I won't be surprised if they stall this set. Cos these girls have what it takes to enter falcons XI than Sebastine and Ajakaye at this rate.


Animashaun looks like Rofiat a lil. I hope she improves her all round game.

Deltamani:
Florence Alexander who plays for Bayelsa Queens, Formerly of Rivers Angels.. One of the best Center Back in the League if not the best.

She recently won the Soccer Queen best Defender of the NWPL.

Okay.

Noticed most post match news from the nwfl don't add the age of players mentioned on their blogs, news, pages. It's a solid norm. Lol.

Deltamani:
Meet the new faces of the Super Falcons. Fresh talents joining the squad as they gear up for their International Friendly against Algeria.

There has been a change of venue for the upcoming international friendly duel between Nigeria and Algeria.

The first leg encounter initially billed for Lagos at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena on Saturday, October 26th, will now take place at Remo Stars Sports Complex in Ikenne, Ogun state.

While the second leg meeting remain unchanged as the two sides will face off again on Tuesday, October 29th in Lagos; at Mobolaji Johnson Arena.

Please, who is that tall aunty on red braids? Defender or striker?

Deltamani:
The Goalies…

Anyway sha I never for one day Gbadu shot goalkeepers, If you’re shorter than Alaba Jonathan & Tochukwu Oluehi is a NO NO 4 me!

What i am seeing is almost making me regret saying Nnadozie is overweight sometimes this year. Wetin sef? Who is that mama there? Is that Oyono? Oh my goodness!!

See how Barca pack academy boiz. Na revenge be this. If we no fit revenge this same Bayern, it takes the notch one bar lower.

Naso ministry just die?

Spot on!

If you a fan has observed this, I shudder to think how much data the americans would would have amassed on the flamingoes and their pattern of play with their professional match analysts cos they'll go way back to the WC Qualifiers.

I hope our coach and his crew will do their homework on the american team too cos this game will be won and lost from the bench.

The flamingoes can beat the US team but the coach has to be tactically astute, and not leave them to play their normal game, and be shouting orders like "follow am', "ma fun laye", "eh watch e", "iwaju' , 'emu eyan kan", etc from the sidelines

All those yoruba instructions sweet for olympics indoor events like wrestling and judo. 😹😹😹

But in football....

Olowookere did exact in India 2years ago. Many was lucky we had 2 CBs that helped us just like Mercedes did for Dom yesternight. There's a Reason i call him handler.

I also feel his taller assistant is more technical than him. One thing I'll not take away from him is how he organizes the team in unity and respect. That's his biggest impression since 2022.

TheSuperNerd:
Ekezie is better than Azeez. Azeez should return to the bench from whence she came.

Ekezie has too many misplaced passes and isn't face enough. She's lucky Adegoke is faster, else... The
Two may have slight differences shaa. 😹😹

Thanks so much for all the birthday wishes and prayers. I really appreciate. Great to be part Nairaland's biggest sports family. God bless you all. 😎😎😎

41 shots
13 shots on target
Rondon saved 12/13


Olowookere, Dominican Republic thanks you so immensely for creating a GK that would be chased as the next Buffon.

See their accurate passes in 90mins(5, 6, 2 ,4). We made them look special.

isan:
Azeez ? She was rubbish in my opinion

The budeying was hilarious sha. But duels and passes were okay

TheSuperNerd:
If Ifitezue and Animashaun were lethal in their decision making in the final third in that first half, the Dom girls would have given up before the second half even came around and no one would be praising the Dominican haram ball.

Mercedes and Rondon should milk this for what it's worth but na serious haram.

They sure would.

Ifi and Animashaun truly messed up. But see how imposing Chidi was almost immediately she entered. That Kareem no sabi that role. SS go fit her las las. But she lacks extra qualities for that.


Chai. We just dey pass ball to Rondon throughout. Coach carries the blame. He didn't stop it during halftime talks, meaning he wanted it
Smh

TheSuperNerd:
Yeah, Adegoke got that swagger. Solid in duels, good on the ball. The most confident of our back 4.

I won't be surprised they'll convert her to a CB las las. Azeez got Wingback qualities as well. This handler should just let Ekezie continue on bench abeg.

Dom's 18, Sano, na pretty girl. Good with throwings ONLY😂😂😂

solonnachi:
Quarter Finals
Nigeria V USA
Spain V Ecuador

GOD HELP US!

Only US can be our own undoing at this ko stage. Luckily the firepower of our forwards should be enough to win USA. Only issue is our defense will get the test of their lives this time. Provided we aren't wasteful or foolish like tonight....


40 shots vs Dom really shows the outcome

TheSuperNerd:
The commentator should stf. Praising haram ball like it is gold. The Dom team are also taking a lot of time restarting the game from every throwin and goalkick.

The guy was stating the obvious. Na you wan callam haram. Na u17 na😂
Do they look like they can get 4 successful passes in the 1st place?

Foolishness is still doing that shooting while making their gk look like prime Buffon or Van der Sar.

If na us, you go praise that Mercedes o😆😆
But we made them look extraordinary. Not them. Us!!
Modified
Ahhh. You don praise two both of them. Nice👏🏿👏🏿

Our wastefulness has made legends of Rondon and Mercedes. They'll go on to have beautiful football careers for how they held out tonight, thanks to foolish instructions by Coach.

Mercedes gets POTM. Well deserved.

I'll watch that Moshood goal before i drop what i feel about the execution.

So far, the stats and scores shows the summary of the tactical nous of a coach like Olowookere with such talents.

Even commentator dey enter us

Nothing to show so far with 13corners and 30 shots

See where Kareem stay again for that beautiful through paas by Moshood

TheSuperNerd:
Very very frustrating from that #7 Ramotalahi Kareem. No way we won't be 2 or 3 goals up with Peace or Harmony in the lineup.

Let's pray the goal comes 15mins in.

TheSuperNerd:
You see that Moshood. Damn, the girl is too elegant with that left foot. Technical, physical, good passing range, excellent ball striking, late runs into the box, covers lots of grounds, etc. She is a special MF talent. If she keeps this up, she is destined for the biggest sides In Women's Club football. Just too good.

She's the package. If they even attempt to outmark het, Effiong switches on beast mode. She looks fatigued though. Moshood.

I'm seeing traces of Ohale in Adegoke. Noticed?

TheSuperNerd:
Afolabi for all her technicality really frustrates with her ball striking. It is trash. Seeing that she gets into good shooting positions often, she needs to improve on that.

Ifitezue has been both impressive with her pace and annoying with her final ball. Time and time again, she held the key to us scoring and fumbled it.

Animashaun showing her industriousness as usual bursting down that left from midfield but her end product is also a worry. Ramotalahi Kareem hasn't even had much to do upfront as she is either crowded out, blocked off when trying to pull the trigger or just unable to beat her markers. Her runs and positioning too havent been encouraging. She also needs to watch the offside trap being set by the Dominican defence led by their hardworking captain #8.

Im happy our wingers are showing such grace without Peace and Harmony (double Pun)



Observation: No 16 yo geh gathers hair laidat sha🥲🤭😉

isan:
Yeah Kareem is not making runs ....

60th min max, if goal no come, i will reduce hopes for them being any threat to that USA backline. We've been wasteful. I guess the shooting instructions given by Olowookere is wack. See how it led to nonsensical ambition. Faridat especially.

Kareem better wake up. Winger dey run towards box, ya shifting towards edge of box.

isan:
They don't pass the card to knockout round except they've changed the rule

I think it counts.

Even if both wingers do well, Kareem no sabi position too. If only Moshood can play false 9 right now. Cos these runs need to lead to goal. Blessing is beating her marker but see the options available afterwards too.

isan:
We should keep the ball in our half and let them come to us

I doubt they want to come out though. But since we have quick wingers, this ought to work. Their captain and Martinez really look u17.

This ambitious overshooting by these girls ehn. Animasahun is quickfeet but end product is slightly off edge,plus no body positioned well. Wassup with Moshood long ranges? Our wingers are doing well. Na that CF be issue. Afolabi still needs to learn shooting.

ekehopp2:
He also rested the left back, Ekezie. So 3 changes in all.
Ekezie, Effiong and Chidi.

Moshood card is why im afraid. We should not risk suspension.

TheSuperNerd:
Spain ever strong since the last tournament. Looking good with their title defence run so far.

The USA will again meet Nigeria in a Quarter final at a FIFA youth tournament be it U17 or U20 and truly they don't have good luck against us in this particular KO stage.

2010 U20 Quarters, we beat them.

2022 U17 Quarters, we beat them.

2024 U17 Quarters, I expect same result.

Ofcos in 2012 U20 Semis, we lost. But quarter finals? We seem to edge them everytime.

and on all occasions that they lose to us, probability of them making the senior team consequently is thrice ours. Like 70-24% for these young girls. We need to change that.

TheSuperNerd:
Flamingoes XI vs Dominican Republic, Host.


Twin attack of Harmony and Peace rested.

The Machine, Moshood starts again. Coachie should not let her finish the game abeg.

Man rested Effiong and risked Moshood, knowing fully well that we need her free from cards and fresh for USA?

Na why i dey call am handler till tomorrow.
