That 2-1 loss was not just an announcement of how terrible our midfield was. It was the fact that it was SA that loss came by. A skyrocketing change has occured and I'm glad they can't boss us in an encounter even if Mothlalo and Seopensewe dey there.


We need strikers that have the volley from afar style. No be to enter box dey do bunching and anywhere belle face. I hope we solve that next.

One of the reasons I think we need a goal Scoring Midfielder like Onyi Echegini who can shoot from anywhere, you must not get into the box first, once you catch the goalkeeper off guard… Shoot.!

Damn I know this is a thread for female football but Osimhen too good chai. We need his exact female no 9.

I don’t think such 9 are still in the Women’s game maybe just few.. Gone are those days when you will see physically imposing strikers like Birgit Prinz, Abby Wambach, Lotta Schelin, Christiane, Melissa Tancredi, Sinclair, Sarah Michael in the women’s game..! E belike say that time don pass…

Remember at the time even Ucheibe was not in that game because Rita Chikwelu was still a favourite to Waldrum despite complaints by fans then.

Now we have Ucheibe, Abiodun and Halimatu in defensive midfield. Attacking midfield position has Payne, Echiegini, and Oyenezide.

For me what is left for us is a reliable left back and at least two more strikers/wingers.

I remember when Ucheibe said in one interview that Veteran Onome Ebi and one other senior in the team where advising her about taking her chance once she gets into the Starting 11… and she did.
She said they called her and told her Christy your fitness is more than of two persons oo keep training harder once you get the chance take am..!

Cameroon na only gra gra dem sabi, we know how to get over them cause their gra gra no da work for us…

We losing to SA during the WAFCON was all Randy’s fault because he was still struggling with his Selection then, thank God he finally got it right going to the World Cup.. I really want to see how the Southy Midfield will be able to cope with Engine Christy Ucheibe, Halimatu Ayinde and Skillful Tony Payne couple with Deborah Abeodun. Regina Otu is another alternative too.

We got the qualities just the Coaching set up and again NFF administrative aspect shouldn’t affect them.

I for go greet her for IG but no let me save the time for better People, It’s very clear that this SA and Zambia never liked Nigeria for once… Envy and Jealousy at is peak… Imagine she stated that Asisat was injured in and out but at the end still became Barca Top Scorer in the Liga F.. How did Asisat Score those goals?? Ahbi Liga F da award goals to players without Playing…

Janine should go and rest and face her life, The whole of South Africa Women Football can’t even stand in wherever Asisat Oshoala stands as they’re far below her rank. Let them deal with that jealousy go surely kill them…

Asisat Oshoala ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬

Nigeria/Swedish Woman Footballer Evelyn Ijeh who plays for tigres fc in Mexico is currently in Nigeria and she joined AOA girls for our core character session on Friday to share with the girls her journey and experiences.

Ajakaye>>>>


She get pace and energy but weak vision. She will do well in counter attacking situation or a 2v3 situation. A mature LB will easily stop her. Not like her crosses are anything sha.

Another tactical way is to overload her RB partner so she gets more involved in defending by force. Solved.

If they were playing the SuperFalcons for example she has a lot of Strong players to face, for example Ajibade and Babajide plays on the flank, she will need to help her fullback with a lot of Defensive duties cause those players are quick, skillful and very physical too.. Then she go come jam Ucheibe or Ayinde or Abeodun for Midfield.. it’s definitely going to be a lot difficult for her..

South Africa and Zambia look similar in their style of play just that SA are good at handling the Ball than Zambia.., Cut off Supply to their Speedy players especially those long ball’s then it’s Finnish for them…

BascoVanVeli:
That Jordynn Dudley for FSU should be the starting striker for the USWNT. She would start for almost every professional women's team on earth

I don wish say she be Nigeria tire.. She Plays like a Pro already but she’s still a Freshman or Should I say she’s a Sophomore now ..!

US have got themselves a Big talent there, Pace, Skills, Finishing and Ball sense top notch..

Will she be able to Finnish College with what I’m seeing right now? Maybe..! But right now Big Clubs from Europe or NWSL might want to steal her away with Big money Move…

To me FSU on it own is a Semi Pro team, can literally hold their own well against Clubs from Turkey, Finland, Denmark, Austria even against lower ranked teams of the Big 5 leagues in the World..

GeneralDae:
I told y'all

Vicky Lopez set to represent Nigeria in 2024.

Hopefully Onyeka Gomero follows thesame path.

Lol 😂
Na only Laugh I fit laugh 4 now..

Princezibk:
She’s looking so pretty and captivating 💯❤️❤️ . She’s a legend and might be a great coach in nearest future

She said sometime ago that she doesn’t want to become a Coach but will definitely be involved in Football Business..

Michelle Alozie been named the Best Right Back in Africa..

AkinDS:
She is not as bad as you think. She actually has some good wheels on her (pacey).
Imuran will have problems with her - not because of pace, but physical strength. Imuran gets pushed over easily sometimes.

I believe someone like Nicole Payne will be best to mark her. She has all the requisite tools to neutralize her. If Nigeria is also able to shut down Thembi, then SA attack is as good as useless.

Nigeria can then put the squeeze on their midfield and defense, as both the SA midfield and defense is not really that good.

I never said she was Bad though🤗

One thing the likes of Thomas Dennerby & Randy Waldrum has done well is knowing how to keep the Star Players of opposition mutes.. Anyway i don’t see her as a threat though… Shy shy Imuran really need to work on her Physicality too, But pace to pace Imuran will match her down..

I would really love to Nicole Payne get quality Playing time at PSG..
For now Ashleigh Plumptre, Rofiat Imuran own the Left Back spot with Michelle Alozie and Nicole Payne holding it at Right Back.

Asisat Oshoala presented her Best African Player award to the group.
🦅💙❤️

15 in NWPFL ? Nigerian coach will never put a 15 years old between the post , is this her first season?

At what age did the likes of Chiamaka Nnadozie, Omilana, Linda and Co start having game time before they where called up to the age Flamengoes team??

Freshman Joy Okonye is one of Brown University Women’s Team set piece taker.

She scored 1 goal with 8 assists..

AkinDS:
Thanks to the stupid NFF people that decided to schedule the Ethiopia tie a day after the ladies flew in from their club stations.
Why is Nigeria 'blessed' with imbeciles at the controls?
Also, the new fellow is nothing but a puppet and a yes man - because if Randy was in charge, he definitely would have pushed back on the scheduling for that match.

NFF have been poor with Scheduling the SuperFalcons games from international Friendlies to Qualifying games, Schedules matters a lot, you don’t expect players to come from their Club today and give 💯in a game the next day… Why not make the Schedule in a way that they can train at least 3times before game..

Look at the game against Haiti and New Zealand, the time they had to prepare really helped the Ladies.. NFF need to do better cause this is their Fault not the Ladies or the Coaches..

If you prepare well, you can as well fight well…

daveP:
Make Nff swoop in na 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Lol 😂
NFF no serious Abeg, them never fit Pay Randy Finnish na Coach Wha Barca no fit pay them wan sign🤗🤗

Many top Coaches were on the Market since after the World Cup, if NFF really needed one they would have gotten from the likes of Luis Cortes who just signed a big money move to coach Saudi Arabia Women’s National Team, Morocco former coach is there, Colombia former Coach is there and some few names…

The Edo queen goalkeeper is a basket, she conceded a cheap goal against remo stars this week , in the same match Ogbonna of super falcons made a world class block to deny Edo queen a way back into the match

Lol 😂, she isn’t that bad for her age, I hope she gets better and works her way into the U17 squad.

She will definitely grow with more game time as she’s just 15yrs.

GeneralDae:
We went from 32 to 34 mainly due to that draw with Ethiopia.

Yeah that draw against Ethiopia sucks a lot of points from us. The only thing that will help us now is if we can play and win Friendly games against the top20 teams, this will give us a lot of points for us to move up! If you lose or draw against a Small team that cost a lot of points, if you win small teams (Lowly Ranked) you get very small points

Oh Noooooooo 😢💔

🚨 Jonathan Giráldez will leave Barça F at the end of this season. He announced it at the club and won't change his mind.
A possible new destination could be the NWSL.

Diario Sport

Jonatan Giráldez's decision to not continue at Barça is irreversible. There is no possible counter-offer that will convince him.

He wanted to communicate it to the club with enough time so that the club would have time to look for a replacement.

The final #FIFARanking of the year is here! 😁

#FIFAWWC 2023 winners 🇪🇸 take top spot, while 🇺🇸 and 🇫🇷 climb the table.

SuperFalcons ended the year @34

GeneralDae:
That's what happens in a real farmer's league that is just heavily funded and well organised. A defender becomes a very good striker 😄😂

To me playing in Saudi Arabia League is same as Playing in Belarus,Serbia, Poland Israel, Cyprus etc..

ANOTHER HATTRICK FOR ASHLEIGH PLUMPTRE!fire 🔥🔥🔥

Last Night Ashleigh Plumptre Scored three Goals as her team Al Ittihad Ladies Defeated Al Ahli SC Ladies in Saudi Arabia Women's League

At the Point, we don't know if she is still a defender or have been converted to a Striker because what is it with the series of Hat tricks🤣🤣🤣

mostob:
Nnadozie might be the first person to win the African best footballer of the year and African best goalkeeper awards. She just need trophies to complement her world class performances.

I just hope this Chiamaka Nnadozie performance boost the confidence of the Goalkeepers we currently have in the League here, so that they can step up their game too… We need Back upsssss!

Barcelona manager Jonatan Giráldez has “practically decided not to accept Barcelona’s contract renewal offer”, per @relevo ❌

A club in the @NWSL has reportedly submitted an “astronomical” offer for his services.

What is all this Hype about South Africa….

Nicole Michael this, Nicole Michael That.!, I don’t even think she’s quicker than Ajakaye.. Talk about Pace this girl can’t even get past Michelle Alozie and Rofiat Imuran talk more of Nicole Payne who’s arguably our quickest Fullback..!

Randy Waldrum just da everywhere da Praise Nnadozie ooo…. I don da see say this man get e own Special Affinity for Nnadozie!!
