...Omo... Morocco stood no chance..🤣🤣🤣🤣

They Couldn’t play their usual Passing Football as the Zambians were full of running and throwing a lot of Physical challenges at them which did worked against them, they tried Competing but some of their players got injured and tired.. even Fatima Tagnaout became useless in the game..

Zambia Women’s National Team Midfielder Prisca Chilufya

daveP:
When she came on, one didn't need bother watching cos goal sure. Whether na bitter rivals or enemies, she go score. If Randy just find replacement ehn. O pari.

Besides, can you help with the G/A of our forwards since covid. I wantu confirm something fes. Gracias.


No RW
No 9
False 9 sef no sure.

Difficult I must say but Will try, even NFF no get the correct Data of our Players number of Caps, Goals and Assists..

daveP:
Can Christy play in front of Abiodun like in this game? I need to see that again. This match vex me die for that blunder then. This version of Kanu is gone imo.

https://youtu.be/FQVl2Ldfdlg?si=un5XfBakDSCWegPc

Yeah she can go Box2Box but where do you keep Halimatu Ayinde?? Cause we need a Calmer one among the Combative Youngsters in Midfield..

I think Echegini still need to up her Physical side of the game especially playing against Africa Opponents, but against the Western side she’s very strong!

daveP:
Yeah her and Christy or Alozie. The ish now is that we've barely won enough freekicks in 25yrds region like before. Onumonu won a few at wafcon sha. I believe if the attack is worked on, defenders will commit more to our advantage. For now....


But Desire was such an amazon mehn. Our attack that year...

Replacing Desire Oparanozie will be one task that Randy won’t be able to accomplish anytime soon.. That typical type of well built No.9 Nigeria is always Known for.. Mercy Akide, Sarah Michael, Desire Oparanozie, Uchechi Sunday etc.. Like even if they don’t Score in that game they do a lot of Work with or Without the ball, we had good number of advantages having them upfront, not what we’re seeing now.. We still don’t have a number since Desire Oparanozie started blowing Off and now retired.!

carbonado:
..Yeap, even Zogg, Jennifer. At the time we played those friendlies, Waldrum will look for good talents that can easily travel(dual citizenship), without visa restrictions..

Schemerkhiz brought in Onyi Zogg and Roosa Ariyo during the Summer Series in the US, he was the one behind their invite to the SuperFalcons.!

lovewins:
I thought this was public knowledge. Not just her, was how Payne and Esther Okoronkwo got into the team too.

Toni Payne is not among, She would have started playing for the team going to the 2019 World Cup in France but her Clearance wasn’t ready then..

TheSuperNerd:
This Girl is fire💥

Ambipedal. Excellent finisher. Vertically driven in her ball approach. Curling shot technique is quite impressive. A menace indeed.

Such a Complete Player just need Proper Coaching which I believe Randy will give her as he’s doing with Abiodun…

Chemistry with Abiodun in Midfield at Pitts will also serve as an edge for them, I remember very well when Ayinde and Okobi where playing together in Sweden their Understanding of each other was so so good..!!

I’m just so happy Randy brought her from NJCCA real quick, even in one of the highlights I heard the commentator saying she has numerous offers from NCAA teams..!

It won’t take much time before Randy brings her into the SuperFalcons cause there’s no way she would be Playing for her at Pitts and not make his Roster at National Team Level, I believe after the Olympics she should start getting Call Up if Randy is still Coach.

mostob:
How her career turned out to be is just so.... A very good RB then.

Loveth Ayila is another player that was exceptional in that U20 squad. Infact, I rated her ahead of Ayinde in that tourney. Maybe that Oshoala's controversial goal took a toll on her after that tourney.

I no fit forget that thing wha she do for the finals.. She’s already pursuing a Career in Coaching the last time i saw something relating to her! Indeed she was one of the top performer at the 2014 U20 World Cup!

Many of that set don Either Quit Football or Married..

1. Sandra Chichi— GK (Married)
2. Sarah Nnodim— CB (Married & Own an Academy/Club in Jos)
3. Ugo Njoku— RB
4. Osarenoma Igbinovia— CDM (2kids already Girls)
5. Loveth Ayila— W (Coaching)
6. Courtney Dike— F (US Born)
7. Patience Okaeme— F (Now Stays in Sweden)
8. Gladys Abasi— CB
9. Victoria Aidelomon—CB (2kids already Boy&Girl)

This player might be the next superstar for🇳🇬, She will Certainly be the Most skillful attacking midfielder ever produced in Africa as far as the Women’s Game is concerned.. She has the abilities of Marta of 🇧🇷, A top dribbler and goal scoring midfielder

Let’s See how Randy Waldrum Unveils her at Pittsburgh. Remember the name 👉🏿 Celine Ottah


http://www.hudl.com/v/2LSkrS

It was obvious that her Skill level was way beyond the NJCCA level.. Playing for a Semi-Pro team in the USL also shows that she’s a great talent. Randy better do the needful just as she has done with Deborah Abiodun..

http://www.hudl.com/v/2MiTv0

http://www.hudl.com/v/2MiJw1

http://www.hudl.com/v/2MiL2C

The way she uses her skills are way better than Esther Sunday whose end product is trash! Her kind of player will cause a lot of problems for opponents, It will take the high level of Defensive Skilled Players like Ayinde, Abiodun, Ucheibe, Oberdorf, Walsh, Patri, Henry etc to Mark her.!!

GeneralDae:
Even the right back Ugo or something of Rivers Angels then was a delight to watch.

Yoh… I wonder how I forget Ugo Njoku (A.K.A Magic 15)

I don’t even understand how she even had a short Career such a robust talent who grew from U17 Trinidad &Tobago, U20 Japan 2012 & Canada 2014 and to SuperFalcons 2014–2017.. She would have been our All time best Right Back..

Eni Aluko became part of a new Multi club Ownership group promising to invest 💰 100Million (💷78.6M) in Women's Football Clubs across Europe 🌍(Spain and Italy ), Argentina and Uruguay..

GeneralDae:
I agree. Looking back now, I still think we were unfair to Odegbami and should have given her more time. Her falcons team was more of a delight to watch than that of Dennerby. This may also be because the likes of Ordega, Okobi, Oshoala, Ikidi, Oparanozie were still at their prime then.

Yeah yeah we would have given her more time as she played better football defensively and Attacking Wise, even though in the final against Cameroon she was very very Conserved but still grinded out a win when it matters..! She’s good. Arguably my no.1 Pick going for an Ex-international to handle the SuperFalcons and she’s more of a developmental Coach.! Again as you have said those Players mentioned where in their hot period even though some where already getting older.. Ebi, Chikwelu, Ijeoma Obi etc.

Her Players selection where also on point, Substitutions where top notch..! I think her Coaching Style was the last time the SuperFalcons played real Pace and Power Football.. Ordega/Oshoala/Okobi/Chikwelu Infact everyone of the Players where running till 90minutes non stop.

I hope Linda don’t get carried away with the invite to the SuperFalcons, She should work her way into the U20 team. Infact get the First Choice position in both Club and U20 so that we can be sure her invite to the SuperFalcons isn’t just to add numbers.!

Nigeria SuperFalcons Midfielders Amanda Mbadi and Regina Otu…

Bompastor is expected to leave Lyon and take over Chelsea this summer after Emma Hayes departs, per Tom Garry/Telegraph Football.

semid4lyfe:
The most impactful change that Randy Waldrum made that turned around the fortunes of the Super Falcons was dropping Rita Chikwelu from the team.

That lady was an eyesore and impacted our game so negatively and cost the team a lot.

The Saudi League must be a very low quality league cos I can't fathom how that lady was signed by a club and is still making appearances.

Make Ashleigh Plumptre do commot for that league.

The truth is Rita Chikwelu time wit the SuperFalcons supposed to have ended after the 2019 World Cup, but again most of our players don’t leave when the ovation is high.., like when they know too well that their bossy can’t carry it again at the highest level but they will refuse just because they keep on getting invited which I believe the Coaches are also to be blame..

Journalists.

Anyways I da among those Blocked by Randy thuooo

lovewins:
I'll rather we play Columbia, Sweden or Italy and any Asian country really. Columbia because they seem to be the most improved Southern American country at the moment. Gave the USA a run for their money. Sweden/Italy because all their games with Spain was very close. Sweden because they've played Spain 3 times just last year and all the games were close. We necessarily don't need a team that plays like Spain. No team plays like them quite frankly.

For Japan, they are the best team in Asia and others aren't even close. Anyone will do.

My view from another angle again, Since they will be Camping in Europe, they can as well play games against teams like Denmark, Norway, China PR, Austria, Italy, Belgium, Colombia, Czech Republic who aren’t Bad either and can as well help our Rankings..

ekehopp2:
-Nicole Payne is not guaranteed. Dare say won't be there.
-Randy will look to the future and take Linda Jiwuaku ahead of Tochukwu oluehi if its 18 players
-Chinwendu Ihezuo definitely ahead of Omorinsola Babajide from the look of things. Except Christy Ucheibe is take as defender in place of Nicole Payne, and then Omorinsola Babajide as an extra striker.

Lol 😂
••• Yes Nicole Payne not guaranteed but stands a chance to claim a spot..

••• Randy Picking another goalkeeper ahead of Oluehi as Back Up for Nnadozie will be a big shocker which I see not happening very soon.. This might be Tochi Major Goodbye tournament for the SuperFalcons..

••• Babajide gets a spot, She’s a winger not a number 9, we need options on the flanks!

••• Ihezuo still have a chance but will have a tough time making the final roster except she do more magic and Randy Sacrifices Iffy Onumonu for her, Her Pressing game look good though!!

••• Oshoala, Okoronkwo, Onumonu and Ihezuo are battling each other for spot..! Oshoala and Esther Okoronkwo very certain na the rest go fight for the other spot..

••~ By the way Onumonu came to camp with a knock on her ankle which made her not to participate in both legs, If she can spring a major surprise in the NWSL and Prior to the Olympics she stands a Chance! Ihezuo chance is more Slim

🚨Rachel Daly has called quit from international football with England.

The 32-year-old Aston Villa striker announced her retirement today hours after featuring for the Lionesses in their Euro 2025 qualifying victory over Ireland.

She made her debut in 2016 and went on to gained 84 caps, scoring 16 goals.

She was part of the English team that made history by winning the 2022 Euros and played an integral role in helping them reach the 2023 World Cup final.

Halimatu Ayinde vs Aitana Bonmati ??

Can Alozie marks Mariona who’s arguably one of the most underrated player in the Women’s game??

Right now this two are arguably the biggest weapon Spain have! Before the likes of Hermoso, Alexia and Salma

Any Country btw the USA, Germany, Sweden, Netherlands, China, South Korea should be our possible options for Friendly Games going to the Olympics!

Me still trying to figure out another Country that’s very good in Tiki Taka/Possession style of Play like the Spanish side that the Falcons can test themselves with before the Olympics, Sweden are pretty okay but no body does it better than Spain!!

With our Physicality, Strength, Pace, Compact Defense and Athleticism in General the girls can match them..!

Thanks I just searched both games out

Nigeria and our love for WOWO (We only want Oyibo), why did Salome Zogg and Roosa Ariyo not play for the Falcons again?
Surprised to even see Blessing Demehin was featuring for Randy even before the 2022 U20 WorldCup. Very Nice!

For emphasis I only started to follow Female football religiously after WAFCON 2022

Also watching these highlights can Tochi Oluehi retire. Randy should find another keeper in addition to Jiwuaku as back up to Nnadozie.

Tochi retire for what reason?? Have you got any incredible young backup for Nnadozie yet?? NO

By the way she’s not only there as Back up goalie for Nnadozie right not but as the Big sister to the Players playing the role Onome Ebi currently Left Behind…

Maybe when you spot one good goalie we can as well clamor for her retirement! But again Age doesn’t really have much effect on goalie as they do perform at the highest level even at 40…!

TVTM2023:
Haha,I have not seen her play for Nigeria yet,anyone with videos pls

Go and watch Nigeria vs Jamaica and Portugal games at the 2021 Summer Series in the US, you will see her play..! Both games are still on YouTube

2024 Paris Olympics …Zambia Qualified ahead of Morocco 🇲🇦

USA
Zambia
Germany
Australia

At least their group looks easier than ours but almost of same level… having two former world Champions in both Groups!

Why Morocco go beat Zambia for Zambia home when they know they can’t do same at home…. Okay oooo

ekehopp2:
Only trans Zambia player I know is Barbra Banda. Any one else?

Then you know nothing about the Zambians team!

Anyway not a verified thing though but their looks
