If that's the case then what's the point of hiring fresh graduates

what has a fresh graduate done to deserve a job in any company

This is football… at this stage you can’t even compare the progress Deborah Abiodun who’s a collegiate has made to Flourish Sabastine who’s now a professional..

maidaboi:
flourish should be given a chance

What has she done at Club level to deserving a spot in the National team right now??

daveP:
i dey pray for winger in the order of Ordega or Stella sha.

Exactly… Wingers that hardly turn their back when with the ball, they will run at you! Like Catch me if you can.

But I haven’t seen anyone in that frame from the U20 qualifying games till date.

But again let me take you guys back, I would have picked Ordega ahead of Ifeoma Onumonu going to the Olympics.. She’s still among the top3 quickest forwards we have.!

Canada 🍁 WNT soccer appeal dismissed

isan:
So from Olympic we go move to U20 world cup ... Hopefully we get a breakthrough striker

Hopefully new stars will be birthed from this set especially the forwards..

isan:
Instead of just saying Nigeria generally, there's a particular body or person responsible for this madness he/she should be named and publicly shamed

Exactly, the person who’s in charge of registering the Athletes that made the mistake should be called out and publicly disgraced… You can’t tell me that you were able to register the rest but Ofili’s name was the only one to escape you.

Report has it that there are four zambian players who were removed from that test but the bigots only focus on the two who score goals, because talking about the other two just doesn’t fit the narrative they want to push…

Lucy Zelic who is an Australian journalist has cried out saying that the Australia women's team struggled to get a win over Zambia 6-5 because some players that Zambia are using to play against them are young talented guys that are disguise as women.

Australia defeated Zambia 6-5 on Sunday and Barbar Banda and Rachael kundananji scored the five goals for Zambia, and sister Lucy zelic who happens to be an Australian journalist has said that both of them are not supposed to participate in the tournament if FIFA are really serious.
Lucy said that when FIFA was still doing gender test all by themselves Barbar Banda and Rachael kundananji Missed many tournaments because the level of their testosterone was high but ever since they started allowing countries to be doing it by themselves that was when both players pass the test.
Lucy said that she's not calling them boys she doesn't have evidence but still maintain that both of them are not suppose to be playing in women's tournament.

Report has it that there are four zambian players who were removed from that test but the bigots only focus on the two who score goals, because talking about the other two just doesn’t fit the narrative they want to push…

i saw it on twitter. I'll wait till i see a reputable sports handle take it up. I hope its rumor sha

Meet Imane Khelif, a boxer who was banned from the Women's World Box Championships in 2023 because he is a man.

However, Khelif is being allowed to compete in women's Olympic boxing in Paris.

I just hope those blaming Randy should also know that he has done well on the World Stage at least 50% with the team especially

••• from how compact we play
••• defensively the team is very very strong now and can hold their own against any big team in the World.
••• His pattern seems to be Stay compact defensively and catch their opponents on Counter attack.
••• But it seems we’re lacking the necessary skills/Players in the attack to carry out the Counter Attacking game.
••• To me the likes of Ifeoma Onumonu, Chinwendu Ihezuo should go on international wilderness, He should go hunt for two talented and Speedy Wingers for the team.
••• If he can improve on the team attack and players selection for game execution I believe things can be better..

Leave him to take the team to WAFCON is a yes for me but must be on the Condition that we reclaim the WAFCON Title🏆 unfailingly

That's what makes it more painful, if we won those matches, the history, the joy, the massive boost in world ranking and the respect we would have gotten would be so much to even contain, but it is what it is.

These girls have a way of compensating these losses with the resilience and passion they show on the pitch, they just need to add ruthlessness in front of goal to that.

With the way we’re defensively compact we stand a chance of beating this big teams just that we lack one or two players upfront…!

I will keep saying it if we had one of Banda or Trinity Rodman or Chawinga in one of the flank upfront we’re good to go… Infact just add those Zambia players with higher testosterone to our attack we’re good. Cause there no way any team can withstand such fire power upfront, coupled with the Combative Midfielders and compact defense, this will enable our AM to roam freely with the ball as Okobi used to do.

Recovery training ahead of their last group game against Japan 🇯🇵 on Wednesday!l at the Stade De La Beaujoire. ✅.

The fast and athletic wingers are already there..

What's needed is finishing.. so they need to work on their finishing training as a team.

And to finish the team needs more players running forward to support the player that is through on goal..

Can you name them please 🙏??

yinkeys:
NFF should retain Randy Waldrum
On the conditions that he wins Afcon
They can let him go if he doesn’t get to quarter finals in 2027.
If they bring in another coach, it will destabilize progress & we’d be back to square one.
Getting to the Olympics after 16 years was no easy feat
Although he didn’t get his team list accurately spot on
Too many strikers, no alternative natural left footed left back, 2 central midfielders

The biggest thing we need for the team right now is fast and athletic forwards/Wingers so that when they gets the ball they can opens up the offense for their teammates, run at Defenders and get them confused..

An unselfish one though that will put the team first not individual accolades.
