Under pinnick the super falcons didn't miss any FIFA window

They put the Super Eagles WCup qualifiers ahead at the end it almost like the end of the road for them..!

Imagine WAFCON is almost here, less than a 100bags if I’m not mistaken.. No Good Coach for the team yet, No Friendly game to keep them active and on goal.

Deltamani:
Halimatu Ayinde is fully back… Having played back to back 90minutes games for Rosengard in the OBOS Damallsvenskan and svenska Cupen.

Ayinde is arguably SuperFalcons no.1 player in Midfield and the most experienced..
1• Halimatu Ayinde
2• Christy Ucheibe
3• Deborah Abiodun
4• Toni Payne
5• Onyi Echegini
6•

For the no.6 Spot Esther Onyenezide, Favour Emmanuel or any other youngster can take that. But I will certainly choose btw (Esther and Favour)..

And who told this European Clubs that if they’re Lacking Players availability in the role of Center Back that Nigeria Defensive Midfielders are best to fill in.. Because Ayinde literally played as a CB for Rosengard in their last game..

I don’t see Rosengard retaining the Swedish league title or even performing well in the next UEFA Women’s Champions League because they lost more than half of their Squad without like for like replacement.

Departed:
1• Jessica Wik (32, DF, IFK Norrköping)
2• Rebecca Knaak (28, DF, Manchester City)
3• Olivia Holdt (23, MF, Tottenham Hotspur)
4• Ria Öling (30, MF, Crystal Palace FC)
5• Olivia Schough (33, LW, Inter Milan)
6• Mai Kadowaki (23, FW, RB Leipzig)
7• Momoko Tanikawa (19, MF/FW, Bayern - end of loan)
8• Caroline Seger (39, MF, end of career)
9• Cajsa Rubensson (20, MF, KIF Örebro - immediate loan).

The Midfield will definitely be our major power point at the WAFCON with the kind of players we have there…!

Ucheibe & Ayinde in Double pivot, Abiodun as alternative.

The no.10 role should be left for Toni & JOE to fight for who start and back up.

According to Relevo, Washington Spirit have shown a lot of interest in the Nigeria🇳🇬 SuperFalcons forward and Costa Adeje Tenerife top scorer Gift Monday.

The US transfer market closes on Monday at 20:00h ET.

Currently Monday Gift haven’t been in Costa Adeje Tenerife games for the past two weeks and her name is already on Washington Spirit Squad list by fotmob.

So Flamingoes Goalkeeper Uzoma Christiana Ijeoma is taller than Ex-international Goalie Precious Dede..!

GOOD height but she hasn’t really shown any sign of great goalkeeping yet but hopefully with time she will get there.. Nnadozie & Omilana were more convincing at the U17 level..

USWNT🇺🇸 Forward 𝐒𝐨𝐩𝐡𝐢𝐚 𝐒𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐡 is Pregnant 🤰

USWNT international and Portland Thorns forward Sophia Wilson and her husband, Michael Wilson, have shared the exciting news that they are expecting their first child!

Congratulations to the couple..! 🎊🤩

Have seen some post where people complain about Sophia Smith getting pregnant at 24yrs.. Some says it’s her prime that she would have waited till 30, while some are saying the husband doesn’t want her to continue with her career that’s why he got her pregnant now..

Imagine telling a Married Woman when to get Pregnant 🙄😂

BascoVanVeli:
Lol I'm only one person na I can't catch everything. I just talked about Esther Okoronkwo's move yesterday when it happened last week. Remember I also follow the men's side

I get now… From my own side I give 70% to the Women’s game while 30% goes to the male side as i also run a page where we keep the World updated about the Women’s game…!

What happened to that tall CB at Nantes

Whaaaaaaaatttt🙄
A whole Basco not updated

Can’t believe you’re asking this question. She left by the end of last season and currently back with US Saint Malo..

Chiamaka going up against Chinaza Uchendu and Nantes

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IU_Kr0e15MQ

The ACL injury Chinaza Uchendu suffered when she signed for Linkoping LFC alongside Uchenna Kanu really affected her career… Good to see her gradually playing her way back to top form. A quality attacking midfielder who can also play on either flanks as a Winger…

Deltamani:
Curiosity made me ask….

Where does Edna Imade fit into the SuperFalcons attack..! Which position best suits her right now in the team considering the caliber of forwards we have..!

Yes she can play in all the positions upfront, uses both feet’s effectively and also very good in the air..!

Haven’t seen her take Free-kicks I would have said she’s 90% a complete forward.!

At Center Forward we currently have Asisat Oshoala, Ifeoma Onumonu, Esther Okoronkwo and Chinwendu Ihezuo.. At least for now I will pick her ahead of Ihezuo

On the flanks we have Rash, Kanu, Monday Gift, Rinsola Babajide, Esther Okoronkwo can also fit in there..!

If we’re going to the WAFCON with 7 forwards two of the top forwards must be dropped

1• Asisat Oshoala 🇺🇸
2• Uchenna Kanu 🇺🇸
3• Ifeoma Onumonu 🇫🇷
4• Rasheedat Ajibade 🇪🇸
5• Monday Gift 🇪🇸
6• Rinsola Babajide 🇪🇸
7• Edna Imade 🇪🇸
8• Esther Okoronkwo 🇨🇦
9• Chinwendu Ihezuo 🇲🇽


With the current form of those 4 players playing in Spain, they deserve to be on the plane to Morocco for the WAFCON. By the way we’re Lacking pure Wingers like Mbachu, Vera Okolo, Ordega type who could do the play making job from the wing with their pace and skills.. Rinsola isn’t as quick as them but she’s the only natural winger among the 9 forwards above..! If you’re going to have Oshoala, Onumonu, Monday, Imade you will need a Rinsola to feed them not just Ajibade alone as she will be the most marked player in the SuperFalcons by our opponents considering her abilities..

We also have few other top talents that can still get a look based on current form, Joy Omewa 🇩🇰, U20 Chiamaka Okwuchukwu 🇺🇸 and then those from the Nigeria League here that they will insist on for the Coaches to pick😂

Deltamani:
Truthfully non of them are falcons quality including the U20 and recently invited chubby once…

It’s time the Coaches go for a real hunt for Chiamaka Nnadozie back up. Someone who can step in during Big games or tournament if by chance Nnadozie isn’t available… Someone who can give Nnadozie Competition just as the English team, Spain, Germany and USA..

Home and abroad they should search…, a whole Nigeria can’t be relying on Nnadozie alone, what if circumstances we don’t want happen?...

We have few based abroad
Medinat Lawal, USA 🇺🇸
Confort Erhabor, England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
Onyinyechi Okeke, Israel 🇮🇱
Cynthia Akwasi, Kazakhstan 🇰🇿
Rita Akarekor, Tanzania 🇹🇿

Even this ones listed below, I don’t see them as Falcons quality yet maybe 2nd or 3rd choice at best..

From my own view right now, I had to rank them like this with what have seen them perform between the stick from old times till date

1• Rita Akarekor, Tanzania 🇹🇿 (2018 U20 World Cup, 2016 WAFCON Winner)
2• Medinat Lawal, USA 🇺🇸
3• Onyinyechi Okeke, Israel 🇮🇱 ( 2014 U17 World Cup, 2016 & 2018 U20 World Cup)
4• Confort Erhabor, England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
5• Cynthia Akwasi, Kazakhstan 🇰🇿

I finally stumbled on Medinat Lawal 3yrs ago College shot Clips..

She graduated late last year… No information about pro yet.

I thought it used to Rivers Angels and Delta Queens that year.

Remo get 3
Edo queens got 4
Falcons quality from my POV
Ekiti Queen got 1
Amazons get 1

But here we are

2006-2010 era we had Precious Dede, Tochukwu Oluehi and Rachael Ayegba as our 3goalkeepers and any of them could start then..

2010-16 we had Dede, Oluehi and Alaba plus Whyte
With the likes of Rita Akarekor with the shaky shaky Ibubeleye Whyte Edwin Okon was forcing on Nigeria then in the mixup, even at that Whyte is far better than this ones they’re trying to force in as Nnadozie back up..

‪Remo Stars Ladies goalkeeper, Charlotte Adjei 🇬🇭 is currently the best goalkeeper in the Nigeria Women’s Premier League this season so far…!

I’m still wondering how those Nasarawa Amazons players easily get into the SuperFalcons squad 😂😂😂

Nigeria need to do better, give opportunity to the rightful (Qualified) players not selling the slots to the so called Nasarawa Amazons players when they don’t even deserve it.! It’s killing the National team especially the Home Based ones, when we don’t invite the best how do the public clamor for more of them.!

Copper Queens Of Zambia🇿🇲 Fall 3-2 to Malawi🇲🇼 in Second International Friendly

The Zambia Women National Team wrapped up their two-match FIFA International Friendly series with a 3-2 defeat to Malawi at REIZ Arena (formerly Woodlands Stadium) on Tuesday.

The Copper Queens started brightly and took an early lead in the 6th minute when defender Martha Tembo’s shot ricocheted off the post, falling kindly for Racheal Kundananji, who made no mistake in slotting home her second goal in as many games.

Despite Zambia’s early dominance, Malawi responded strongly after the break. The Scorchers drew level two minutes into the second half when Ngambo Musole misjudged Rose Kabzere’s effort, which Malawi captain Tabitha Chawinga set up.

Chawinga turned provider once again in the 56th minute, threading a well-timed pass to Faith Chimzimu, who slotted home to put Malawi ahead. Two minutes later, Sabina Thom extended the visitors' lead with a well-taken strike, making it 3-1.

Nora Häuptle’s side responded with substitutes Mercy Chipasula and Racheal Nachula combining in the 80th minute. Nachula rose highest to head home Chipasula’s cross to reduce the deficit to 3-2.

The Copper Queens pushed for an equalizer with captain Barbra Banda coming agonizingly close when her powerful shot struck the crossbar. Nachula also had a late chance but fired wide from close range.

Despite the loss, Zambia ends the February FIFA international window with a win and a defeat, gaining valuable match fitness ahead of their upcoming TotalEnergies Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) Morocco 2025.
