Until the US calls her to their U19 camp, then it will be all over.

We’re on the verge of losing Defender Ayo Oke to the USA though she hasn’t played for them at the Senior level but already Capped at U15, U17, U20 and U23 for them and also captain them at several Occasion…

I hope Joy Okonye Cases isn’t the same… Nigeria need this Special talent.

Except she has other plans, drafting her into any of our teams shouldn't be a problem. She's listed everywhere as Nigerian (born in Lagos) and is very likely not yet a US citizen. Couldn't get a profile that listed her age so do not know if she's eligible to play next year's u20 world cup. If she is, efforts should be made to get her on the team.

She's fast, can dribble, gives well weighted passes and can score goals too.

Below are some of the video links I could find on her:

She’s very much U20 but not certain if she’s still eligible for U17 as her age isn’t listed anywhere yet.. She recently left CanterBury School to College so she should be eligible for any of the age grade team..

Kibbs:
Players with her stature tend to be very technical especially with their low center of gravity

Think Hazard, Messi, Veratti, Gavi or even Linda Caicedo and Lauren James to mention a few

And she plays mainly as an Attacking Midfielder/ Winger..

mostob:
Na the shorty dey troublesome pass...



Dem no dey easy to handle

Omor the girly good sha but short small body frame Players nor really da freak me except you da exceptionally good..

For her to be listed as No.11 Freshman in the whole of US College definitely means she’s good.. 11games 1 goals and 8 Assists..

TF?? These Moroccans are even making coaching Upgrades. And it's not just anyone. It's a WC-winning coach. The latest even.

Damn! They aren't messing about.

And ur country is Battling on Retaining or sending out the one that have built the team Chemistry…

If they don’t want Randy again they should go for a World Class Coach with Winning records and one or two Ex-internationals..

Valencia Femenino Central Midfielder Elisha Sulola

The recent announcement of Super Falcons' squad for the Paris 2024 Olympics qualifier against Ethiopia brings forth various opinions on the exclusion of the veteran captain, Onome Ebi. 🇳🇬⚽

Former Super Falcons coach, Godwin Izilein, has praised the decision, emphasizing the need for new talent to take the stage. "This is the best decision because for how long do we continue to have Ebi in the team," Izilein voiced. "She was no longer needed and useful in the team."

Ebi, at 40 years old, had made history at the 2023 World Cup and played in six World Cups. However, Izilein's perspective is that it's time to give the younger generation an opportunity to shine.

In contrast, ex-Falcons captain, Stella Mbachu, believes Ebi's experience is valuable and age alone should not determine her role in the team. "As long as she remains fit and still very active," Mbachu commented, "she should be allowed to stay."

What's your take on this?

WHAT DOES RINSOLA BABAJIDE BRING TO THE SUPERFALCONS ATTACK??

A versatile forward, Babajide often plays as a winger, and is capable of playing on either flank, Her ability to time her runs enables her to stretch opposing defences, making her a dangerous offensive threat on counter-attacks.

A skillful player, She’s known for her dribbling ability, as well as her explosive acceleration, agility, quick feet, link-up play and creativity when in possession of the ball, as demonstrated by her use of elaborate feints, such as step overs, or sudden changes of pace or direction to beat her opponents in one-on-one situations…!


Her arrival will bring additional speed, Excellent Delivery into the Box for our No.9 and competition to the Super Falcons forward line, especially the Left Wing

This was one of my Favorite game of hersssssss that made me change my mind that we need her in the SuperFalcons set up cause I wasn’t really moved about her at first, She was on fire, pace and power couple with dangerous balls into the Box.

Yea, those subtle Jabs she usually post on her IG story.

Abeg mk Ona Leave that one, She doesn’t know she’s even reducing the respect everyone has for her as a Legend.. Leave when the ovation is high…

Anyways if she really Plays well for Naija Ratels this Season I won’t complain if they chose to invite her… Sinclair who’s her age mate is still playing competitively in the NWSL and there’s no way you would fault that kind of invite when she’s still at top form.. Seger 38yrs of Sweden, Ayinde Captain at Rosengard is still playing Competitively in the Swedish top flight, Faith Ikidi 36yrs same.. If you invite this type wha everybody da see them week in week out performing at top level I nor go complain…

Awful mistakes by Nnadozie today.
Sluggish reaction time on at least 2 of the goals.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INxwI_3Sp20?si=5bV4zpgKyXJC33rE

Momentary Lack of Concentration, I just hope she gets over it, A bad day for her at the office and the errors yesterday were very Obvious.
Paris FC would've won comfortably if they hadn't made the mistakes in the first two Wolfsburg goals. We all know how good Popp is in the air, someone has to be patrolling her in set pieces.
Looking forward to the decider in Germany next week!
