The women's game have really improved in North and Southern Africa.
In East Africa, Tanzania is the shining light I see. But East Africa is lagging behind the most.
WAFCON would gradually get more interesting from here on.
I think West Africa still leads ..

Nigeria
Ghana
Cote’D’Ivoire
Mali
Senegal
Burkina Faso
Are all strong side more than any other zone in the whole of Africa..

The Handler of the official Twitter page needs to step up. This is not some club handle na. 🤦🏿‍♂️

Some may overlook it but is it shame of the abuja pitch that's making them post another pitch with Esther on it?

Maybe no pressure, that's why. But they should really step up big time!!
Mrs Tobex is the SuperFalcons media Officer and she’s the one handling it..

Is it that Burkina babes are really good or that SA was poor. Looks like a good team that would have to miss out unfortunately. Also what happened to the Ivorians? Used to be good too.
Tanzania Eliminated Ivory Coast, you forgot so soon that Burkina Fada played in the Last WAFCON

Anyone with good aerial ability should be prioritize for that front 2. It is hard but that nodding will make it complete.

Kanu and Monday should step their game up though.
Especially Monday Gift, She’s an off on On player, the day you expect her to deliver she would play rubbish. The day you don’t expect she rise up to the occasion, that have been her game till date! We can’t Bank on her at all..

Anyway the good thing is that Esther Okoronkwo is a goal getter, She will give you the goals. She seems to average a goal in every two games for the SuperFalcons or should I say in three games??

I really want to see her in games soon enough. Congrats to her.

I won't lie. We currently have the personnel to play 352 right now, esp if these 3 are in the setup as well as Ucheibe and Ayinde.

I hope Christy of Edo queens get her minutes on Tuesday.
3-5-2 won’t be Bad, but this might take Tony Payne Back to Wing Back position with Ohale, Demehin and Plumptre as 3 CB at the Back…

Alozie and Payne to Flank them…

Ayinde, Ucheibe or Abeodun and Echegini in Midfield

But who will be the top upfront??😂😂😂

You have Ajibade, Kanu, Oshoala, Onumonu, Okoronkwo, Babajide, Monday and Many more…

So this 3-5-2 go hard with the quality and number of options we have in attack

GeneralDae:
You feel Payne can shoot better than Echiegini? I don't think so.
Omor Echegini shooting and her accuracy in front of goal sets her ahead of her mates especially her ability to Pop up in the Box… She’s also a brilliant Header.

Another thing about her is that she’s the best and most accurate Passer In The team according to most of the SuperFalcons analysts… SuperFalcon Media Officer who’s also a former footballer also said same thing that she’s the best Passer and i can attest to that with what have seen..

Dis is not even a question….with all due respect to the oda “two players”…no be by muscle or gra gra …ayinde is a class above d two,she’s calm and calculative …I will always pick a calm and calculative player over a destroyer midfielder…she’s our busquet kind of player..u will hardly c her in a match,but let d coach remove her…one will notice d large vacuum immediately
As for Halimatu Ayinde, I haven’t seen any SuperFalcons Coach bench her from 2014 till date when she burst into the senior Category… it’s either they play her in DM or Box2Box..

Again the Midfield definitely need an experience leg like her… If Free from injury and very Fit, her starting spot is sure

Ucheibe go play Declan Rice. Abiodun go play like Partey. Make Legend Ayinde get free role. How you see am? Abiodun dictated place today gaan. For now, that Toni Payne Role is uncontested. If i see anyone that has a sweet shooting accuracy, ball curver, foul winner within that 25yrds region, then Payne can be contested.


Overall, na this Selection headache suppose make nff get better tactician. Although, these Verde girls no look like they fit survive 60mins sha. But the combo is sweet.

Okoronkwo no disappoint me. 😎😎

Can't wait for dem Onyenezide and Babajide to settle fast.
I think it’s Tony Payne vs Onyi Echegini vs Esther Onyenezide right now…

In terms of Shooting Accuracy, Ball Curving and Long distance shot from Midfield Onyi Echegini comes into play.. The good thing is she’s going pro January as she’s graduating this December..

isan:
Who sit on the bench between Ayinde , ucheibe and Abiodun ? Only 2 of dem can start

For attacking midfield who starts , Payne or Echegini ?

In central defense who pair ohale , Demehin or plumptre ?
Isan Please and Please don’t put us on a Hot seat, You ask questions I cannot answer correctly right now…

Halimatu Ayinde
Christy Ucheibe
Deborah Abeodun

Two to start then one to come from the bench…
Halimatu Ayinde is cool, calm and Collected, she’s the most experience one among them all, a great marker and a good passer of the ball… can I bench her I don’t know😂😂😂…

Christy Ucheibe.., A workaholic, the Engine room of the midfield, she doesn’t get tired but lack the end product of a midfielder which is the passing and really need to work on that become a Complete CDM/Box2Box Midfielder

Deborah Abeodun (A.K.A Ngolo Kante), the Baby among them all, how do I describe her?? She’s young, Strong, great tackler, good passer and a good game reader at such a young age, imagine calming breaking things up and calming down the midfield..
Ball control, Dribble, Passing, Block are on point, Halimatu and Ucheibe need to watch their Back…

Omor Abeg mk the Coaches do that Selection Abeg 😂😂😂, I can’t oo

People are really late to the party. Deborah

🚨Tabitha Chawinga has said she is not ‘disappointed’ that she did not make the final top-ten nominees for the CAF Women’s Footballer of the Year award.

The PSG forward initially made the 30-player shortlist, but was overlooked for the coveted prize following her omission from the final list despite her performance for club and country, Malawi in recen times.

“I am not disappointed. In everything, we need to thank God. We will do better. Only God knows,” she told 𝐁𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐍𝐞𝐰𝐬.

Our objectives go beyond scoreline” – Cape Verde coach Silverai Nedio aims Nigeria upset


As Cape Verde prepares to face Nigeria in the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations qualifier on Thursday, Head coach Silveria Nedio is untroubled by the pedigree of the Super Falcons as she shares further insights, emphasizing the team’s aspirations and readiness for the challenge.
The West Africans progressed to the next phase after silencing Liberia in the first round of the qualifiers, securing a 6-2 aggregate victory over the neighbours in September.
The Cape Verdeans were rewarded with a second round duel with one-time African champions and manager Nedio is upbeat about her side chances against their West African rivals.
“Nigeria’s nine-time champion status reflects their immense dedication. We respect their journey, but we enter this challenge fully aware of the strength they bring to the pitch,” Nedio told Nigeriafootball.ng.
“Our objectives go beyond the scoreline. We aim to elevate women’s football in Cape Verde, learn from experienced international teams, and uphold fair play, dignifying our nation in the process.”
To advance to the second and final stage, Cape Verde earned a comfortable 3-0 first leg win over Liberia before completing the double with a narrow 3-2 win on away soil.
“Positive takeaways from our game against Liberia instill confidence. We’re on the right path, contributing to the growth of Cape Verdean football,” she continued.
And on going up against Nigeria, she insisted that: “Participating in international tournaments, Africa Women’s Cup of Nations qualification, FIFA recognition – these are victories in themselves. Our journey is marked by milestones beyond the numbers.”
When asked on what Cape Verdean should expect from her ladies, she said: “Cape Verdeans can expect a team with a fighting spirit, dedication, and occasional boldness. Dreams are what drive us, and we carry the hopes of our nation onto the field.”

Anticipating where she’s heading this January….

Juventus FC rumor everywhere…

I would love to see her head to the WSL since she already ruled out the NWSL, She can still change her mind though…

Sports › Re: Nigeria Female National Teams' Thread by Deltamani: 12:08pm On Nov 30, 2023
Our major worry should be the availability of Ashleigh Plumptre, Michelle Alozie in Defense then Christy Ucheibe, Halimatu Ayinde in Midfield against Cameroon next year…

Hopefully Halimatu Ayinde will be back from Injury and Ucheibe would have settled her traveling issues..!

Upfront we surely need Asisat Oshoala especially for the fear factor..

The Cape verde ladies has been in their Dakar, Senegal camp preparing for this game. May God help SF today.

Women football is growing fast world wide but that doesn’t mean Cape Verde🇨🇻 will come over to Nigeria here and beat us or hold us to Draw..

At least we have Btw Nnadozie and Tochi in Goal…

Veteran Osinachi Ohale, Blessing Demehin and Imuran in Defense…

Deborah Abeodun and Tony Payne in Midfield

Rasheedat Ajibade in Midfield or Attack because of the players available…

Kanu, Monday Gift, Babajide, Esther Okoronkwo upfront..

*Coach Madugu:* "You always want to get the best legs around. People keep making comparisons with the performance of the Super Falcons at the Women's World Cup expecting that each time we go out we want to see the same level of performance. Yes, it's right and appropriate for people to want to see the players sustaining whatever standard they may have set for the team."

"But let's be realistic with ourselves since after the World Cup we've been unable to get half of the players that played in Australia due to one reason or the other..."

*David Oku:* As a veteran tell us how you help the new invitees (players) bed in the camp. Do some of them come to you for advice?

*Osinachi Ohale:* "None of them have approached me, but I understand. I will make an excuse for them cos some are here for the first time (first call-up), probably some are shy and don't know who is who which is normal."

"I don't usually wait until players come to me for any kind of advice, if I see something I tell them. I speak to them on how to do things that will affect the team positively. If I have the time to call the players closer I try to give them confidence cos we all started like this and we had one or two people to put us through."
