See Moses Aduku of Edo queens. Why can't he coach our U20s?

He was made the Assistant to Danjuma at one point, I think he didn’t join the team or maybe because of the Champions League qualifiers.. Anyway Aduku is 3 step ahead of Danjuma…

Aduku, Former Bayelsa Queens Coach (RIP), Whyte Ogboda are better than him. I wonder where Edet Egan went to after his good job at the 2010 U20 World Cup, Even Peter Dedevbo 2014/2016 set Coach. This Men Should have probably upped their Coaching badges and become the top Women Football Coaches in Nigeria.. Not this Werey called Danjuma.


Even Edwin Okon better pass Danjuma

Anybody here Watched Arsenal Ladies Champions League game yesterday evening??


I was so Impressed with Mariona today, sometimes i felt like she lacked someone to play those quick one twos with as she used to do in Barcelona, Bit again I feel like that will comes with time also hopefully with McCabe on the left they can build something there because she was doing well with McCabe and Manum but the midfielders were not understanding it or weren’t confident enough to play with her, That’s what it felt like at times she’d also cut in look for the pass but everyone was running away or making the run which didn’t make much sense considering it was a low block 😭

isan:
That Oladapo will stray away from CB to DMF without even knowing where she is

It because Danjuma didn’t go to the World Cup with any DM, because if there was a DM in front of her she won’t step out that much.

Is like Randy playing a Midfield of Onyi Echegini, and Tony Payne in a 4-4-1-1 formation in Midfield without any DM to do the dirty job behind them.. At least Onyi & Tony will even do better at least they can pass and defend and shoot accurately.

🚨Nigeria take on a familiar foe, Germany at the FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup today at 11:00pm.

Win for either side earns qualification to the 𝐑𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐟 16 with a group match to go.

Congratulations to these ladies. But Let's be honest, Naomi Girma is a glaring absence. She deserves to be on this list..💯

She’s arguably among the top3 Best CB’s in the World if not the best.

Performance for the USWNT is top notch, at Club level she’s also very fine even though her club San Diego Waves is on a struggle..

Again, she should sack her agent. She shouldn't be in ATM right now. That team is going no where.

That said, I wasn't really expecting them to qualify for the group stages when I saw who their potential opponent is for the next round (Arsenal). But I at least expected them to win this game.

This game again shows that 1 player alone can’t 100% carry a whole team, she needs support. Ajibade can’t do it alone. Their opponents will keep putting 2-3 players on her in every game to render her less effective. Their Left Wing is Zero.. They were too relax. The substitutes didn’t level up at all.

Everybody was anticipating for Atletico Madrid vs Arsenal now it won’t happen..

Again we should also give respect to the Norwegian Club side they did well. We must also take note that the Scandinavian Leagues ( Sweden, Norway, Denmark & Finland) isn’t as dead as we taught in recent years..

The Coach was at fault here, Why keep Ajibade on the Right till the end of the game, She was bringing in good Crosses but her teammates were only able to benefit from 1 which resulted to the first goal, Rosenborg find out and kept 2 to 3 players on her even with that she still find her way.. The Coach should have told Ajibade to shuffle btw the Left & Right wing.. By the way the Left Wing was dead flat. GIO the CF wasn’t clinical. They got carried away with the 1nil lead and paid the price for it.. Tatiana Pinto was a disaster today.

Atletico Madrid is trash….

Ajibade start packing your bags… PSG need Wingers!

FT’ ⏱ | Atleti 1-1 Rosenborg

We're off to Extra time.

Asisat vs Nicole


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJEScm--Igg

The Lucy Bronze in Nicole Payne is gradually coming out..!

Nicole 23yrs has all the qualities to be among the top3 Right Backs in the World, She’s very fast, Strong and pretty Solid defensively. Just need to balance her attacking & defending as a Fullback and play with more Confidence.

Have Watched most of the NWSL games this season and I can boldly say that she’s among the top3 Fastest Fullbacks in the league.. Had a great game against Bay FC. Did held her own against the Physical and Speedy Racheal Kundananji. I hope she gets more game time and grown from there as she’s gradually getting a balance of Attacking and Defending into her game for a modern day fullback..

I don't remember her as a DM sha

I guess he is betting on Oyinlola to play that position. Shukurat and Yina can also play there but I totally agree with u on Kalu. It just makes no sense to leave her out.

I see he’s pushing Onyinlola there too who’s originally a CB.. By the Shukurat is our No.1 CB at the U20 level so the likes of Comfort, Oyinlola and Oladeji are definitely going for the second starting spot.

I didn’t raise much eyebrows when he dropped Chinyere Kalu because he’s her coach her Club level too but again Kalu was Nasarawa Amazons top3 players this past season scoring several important goals for them especially from set pieces… I hope no grudge on this sha.. if not Kalu is sure a starter for the U20 and have what it takes to play in Europe..

Onyi Echegini scores the winning penalty….. Whattttt
Why would Kobin Albert put such pressure on her? She collected the ball and gave it to Echegini to take the PK..

Anyway Echegini was literally the Origin of the pk as she set up her teammate Elimbi who was brought down by the Dutch International Casparij..

How am I sounding like it's strange so I can't give her a compliment again?

Oga you haven’t said anything about Goodness Osigwe your favourite player since…Why

The moment she made the team I was expecting you to throw some bomb about her here!

BascoVanVeli:
4 is a striker number in Nigeria oh

Lol 😂
Bringing back the memories of Perpetua Nkwocha, Asisat Oshoala and Kanu on the men side..

By the way whosoever wears 4 for Nigeria as a Striker have always been exceptional. Hope Mary Nkpa gets game time to proves her worth with the likes of Flourish Sabastine and Ajakaye there..

BascoVanVeli:
Shobowale is a winger/AMF

Sha has been deployed there in DM in the previous games have seen her play for the Falconet but I know too well that she plays Right Wing especially and AM for her Clubsides. Even her short clips on YouTube says it all…

Still wondering why Danjuma didn’t go with a natural DM in the caliber of Chinyere Kalu..!

Chicago Red Stars have announced the signing of Moroccan 🇲🇦 international Rosella Ayane. She joins on loan until the end of the NWSL season.

Full Game; Portland Thorns vs Bay FC

Asisat Oshoala & Nicole Payne played full 90
Racheal kundananji substituted late in the game..

solonnachi:
The jersey numbers are scattered. Why giving Jersey numbers 2, 3 and 4 to strikers?

Even Olushola Shobowale who’s a DM should have gone for the no.4 instead but took 11 which would have fitted the flank players like Okwuchuku and Goodness Osigwe.

solonnachi:

Those forwards probably didn’t get the actual number they wanted, at the end went in scattered 😂😂

Most of them did retained the numbers they used during the qualifiers except the return of big names like Imuran, Sabastine and Bello which changed things, but again you have your two starting CB’s wearing 18 &19 why not give them the 2,3&4 instead…

BascoVanVeli:
Nicole Payne has been fantastic. Going toe to toe with kundinanji

You’re sounding as if it’s strange for her, Nicole Payne is one of the quickest Fullback in the World. She would match any of the fastest & strong forwards. She has done before even against Temwa Chawinga and will continue to.. She just needs to get better with the ball going forward and do well with her Crosses into the Box.

These two Super Falcons 🥰🇳🇬
