Paris 2024 Qualifier: Tunisian Referee to Take Charge of Banyana 🇿🇦 vs Super Falcons 🇳🇬

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has picked Tunisia’s Dorsaf Ganouati as centre referee for the 2024 Olympic Games final qualifying round second leg tie between South Africa and Nigeria.

The second match between FIFA’s Number One in Africa vs WAFCON Champions will take place at Loftus Versfeld in Pretoria on April 9, 2024.

Kick off time is 6.30 PM WAT

AkinDS:
This is just not right.
CAF really needs to step up and quash this nonsense!

That means they will be losing at least 5 starters ooo, if CAF stop them from using this players.!

dankorode:
pascal or prisca?

God Abeg oooo, na Prisca oooo😂😂😂

But anyone you call am sha cus na Pascal fit her/him pass..

Zambia 🇿🇲 Prisca who missed the Penalty against Morocco!

...This is also means there is legit fear in S.A's camp.

I don’t think the SuperFalcons will really feel this their I’ll treatment from SA as they already know how the African sides are always hostile… Even the Foreign Born in the team should be used to this already..

We will be having our final training 6:30Pm this evening

lovewins:
Kanu in describing their trip said they saw "Shege Banza". She didn't go into specifics so can't say it it is something within the control of the NFF or just usual Nigeria wahala.

We just have to do better sha. Can't imagine putting compatriots who have the responsibility to qualify the nation to the Olympics under undue stress.

Yeah yeah, SA are trying to frustrate the SuperFalcons there with their ill treatment, giving them wack bus to convey the girls… Imagine Oluehi telling Kanu and Ihezuo how very bad the bus they’ve been given compared to the one NFF gave to South Africa over here in Nigeria!

isan:
Our job tomorrow is not to address low scoring difficulties, it's to grab the only Olympic ticket by all means

Yeah,.. Getting the Ticket to the Olympic game is paramount…!

Deltamani:
Sevilla Femenino's Winger, Tony Payne, has addressed the issue of Super Falcons players scoring more goals for their clubs than for their country.

“Obviously, the national level is quite high. When you are playing in the national team, the connection might not be as strong by default, but we have a really good team and we trust each other, and I think the goals will come,” she stated.

However .....This Low Scoring Ahbi difficulty in Scoring goals have to be address when we meet south africa in the second leg and henceforth...
We must plan for a cut out victory in their home..

Some one with a technical ability should be given the job to break dem down.... No one person should be our target striker, we hav to prepare to blast dem from all corners.... And mount the pressure on them!!

This is man nau

According to Physical appearance she’s a man ooo, Infact about 6 of the regular Starters in the Zambians Squad.. but Biology wise she’s a Woman with higher level of Testosterone than Usual.

Some of the white folks in England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 wants to play for Nigeria, I know few girls in my team who told me that they will like to get the Nigeria citizenship so that they can play for Nigeria 🇳🇬.

The greatest achievement my dad did for me is getting Nigeria citizenship for me , and I am enjoying wearing the Nigeria jersey.

Playing for the greatest black nation on earth is a dream come true for me . Ashleigh Plumptre!!!

It’s very Clear and obvious that this Zambians team is thriving on individual Brilliance especially from the Pace of Physical Strength of their Male like Players ( Prisca Chilufya, Barbra Banda, Kabange Mupopo, Racheal Nachula, Ireen Lungu)

The Super Falcons will travel to South Africa on Sunday (7th April) afternoon.

Do come and catch a glimpse of the team as they train at the Moshood Abiola Stadium on Sunday (7th April ) by 10 am


Thank you for your continual support. The fight for the Olympic ticket is more intense. 🔥

ThePresenceWtf:
No, she wasn't. She just played during the time female Goalkeepers were all short... Under 5'7". For reference, Hope Solo is the same size as she was ( 5'9" albeit, 2lbs smaller.

Of of the players in that picture is literally bigger than her. Don't let those oversized jersey and Monstrosity of Shin-pad she's doning fool you 😂😂

Not all were short pls, there were a lot of tall ones just that Hope and Nadine dominated their time!
Lydia William of Australia, England goalkeeper then, I think the Norwegian goalie was tall too, even Dede who was among their set was also tall.

ThePresenceWtf:
Nadine was never as bulky as Linda, I don't get where this contstant comparison is coming from. Nadine was just 5'9" and Linda is at least nothing less than 6'0" ( Chiamaka is 5'11" and Linda is comfortably taller than her ). Nadine was just a regular sized GK her playing weight is listed as 154lbs. Goalkeepers like Chrisiane Endler, Musovic, Berger etc are all comfortably bigger than she was.

Excluding 2007 to 2010. Did you even watch Nadine in the Period of 2011-2015?? Haba… Nadine is way bigger than all you just mentioned except Endler and Berger who are taller! How do you even bring Endler, Musovic and Berger into this issue. You would have mentioned Belgium/RSC Anderlecht Goalkeeper Justine Odeurs I wouldn’t have replied you brought in Endler and co🙄🙄

Linda is well built just like Nadine Angerer, you might just come up with Linda slightly bigger and taller but again they’re both in same range, I followed her game alongside Hope Solo because of their constant comparison of who was better between them then..

Rinsola Babajide in Action Yesterday!

Again after the match yesterday one of the Journalists was asking Randy when are we going to see her Play… Nawa…. Truth be told going by the number of 18players that goes to the Olympic Games, I don’t see Monday Gift making the squad thuo!

AkinDS:
And how good were these very big keepers for Nigeria, huh?
Sorry, but Nadine Angerer was never this overweight throughout her career.
This kid really needs to shed a few.

I did say they were mainly Back up goalies for Nigeria, Judith was the Back up for Ann, Racheal alongside Tochi Oluehi were back up for Precious Dede but they both had an excellent Club Career in America and Europe respectively..!

Nadine is well built and she comes to mind whenever I see Linda Juwuaku, I do believe she will definitely shed some weight as time goes on as she’s still Young! She isn’t even as big as Racheal though!

U20 Versatile Shukurat Oladipo (African Games Silver Medalist) warming up yesterday for Super Falcons.

mostob:
I just dey pity the attacker this girl go jam. Aboniki balm won't be enough to reduce the pain.

Lol 😂 😂

Her well built Physique though, one of the reason I always compare her with Legendary Germany Goalkeeper Nadine Angerer as they look the same in height and body side even goalkeeping abilities too…

We used to have very big goalkeepers back in the days especially as Back up’s goalies Judith Chime Pic.1 (Played in the 🇺🇸) one of the first generation set, Racheal Ayegba Pic.2 (Played in 🇫🇮) among the 2nd generation set of goalkeepers and they were very very good too even with their bulky size…!

One For The Future

A strong or an average performance from Chinwendu Ihezuo yesterday against South Africa.

carbonado:
...she still does not believe that counter did not work for them because of personnel Nigeria used and not the pitch...She will find out in S.A in a few days.....They don't know...This is not to excuse the terrible attitude of NFF towards facility management.

She doesn’t know yet, She forgets that the Falcons will have time to train and also get better for the Second leg, If their Pitch is better it will be a Big Plus for us too as our players will be able to do their thing very well…

Thembi Kgatlana says the "bad pitch" of the MKO Abiola Stadium was a game strategy from Nigeria to prevent them from playing the ball.

She said "you pass the ball and it doesn't bounce, it just drops there."

She says they will play well in South Africa where they have "better facilities."

Does her comment deserve attention from the football authorities in Nigeria?

skallion7:
There's a rumor that Pittsburgh team is interested in shukurat oladipo, the team Deborah abiodun plays for in USA

Randy waldrum is said to be interested in the youngster because of her versality

If true That’s a very good news, Shukurat is very versatile as she can play anywhere on the field apart from Goalkeeping… I wonder why she’s playing as Center Back for the Falconet when she mostly plays as a forward or midfielder for FC Robo.. She’s Strong and very Calm too.

lovewins:
Great point, but Abiodun is calm though. Not sure we've seen a player in her mold before in the team. She's different

That would be the Younger version of Rita Chikwelu as she’s very calm with the Ball with her fine long passes but she very aggressive with her tackle and challenges.

U c dt Ayinde ehn…aw I wish she came to dis world as a male ,she for be our own busquet Abi wetin b d guy name…not always noticed in a match but highly intelligent and read d opponents move well

We still need to understand something that the
Young and Energetic duo of Ucheibe or Abiodun need to be paired with someone very calm and intelligent to help Calm things down as they roughen up things for opponents..

One of the reasons i can’t even remove her from the Midfield for any of the Younger ones, Play Ayinde and pair her with Ucheibe or Abiodun, But again any moment she retires we already have Ucheibe and Abiodun to rely on and also the Combative duo of Regina Otu and Amanda Mbadi, Foreign born Elisha Sulola.. Infact Younger ones are also coming up ( Chinyere Kalu, Yina Adoo)

elyte89:
U c dt Ayinde ehn…aw I wish she came to dis world as a male ,she for be our own busquet Abi wetin b d guy name…not always noticed in a match but highly intelligent and read d opponents move well

Did you see that Race between her and Thembi Kgatlana?? Omor Ayinde is the real Veteran in that Midfield even as Pacy as kgatlana she still beat her to the ball I was like this Ayinde is called Elder 4 a reason by her teammates!

She will be 29yrs by May and currently the most Experienced, Calm and Calculative. Her passes and the way she turns is just so Superb.. Our Very own Sergio Busquets.

I think Debbie is getting better and better by the Day…. and tends to play well with Ayinde and Ucheibe, Infact any of them she plays with she delivers… The Red Card against Canada at the World Cup really Made us miss more of her Exploits then which we would have seen earlier on…

🚨Norway, France, Italy and Spain got off to a bright start to their campaign in the UEFA Women’s Euro Qualifiers.
