This captain, what's her name pls?

Oluchi Ohaegbulem… A right footed Left Back who Plays for Chris Danjuma at Nasarawa Amazons.

My Girl…

GeneralDae:
Christopher Danjuma's connection in the NFF is so strong. I don't see any real improvement he brings to his age grade sides and he's been around for a long time now.

This team in my opinion should be rejigged before the World Cup.

Maybe they will need to convert Asisat Oshoala, Chiamaka Nnadozie, Ajibade, Tony Payne to U20 for him to use … maybe he will deliver.

solonnachi:
Can't this girl be introduced to Chris Danjuma? May be he doesn't know her capabilities

Danjuma wha be like Shareholder for the NFF, even with his previous poor records with the U20 and the SuperFalcons he still manages to get the job..

To me he’s the worstest U20 coach ever with the caliber of players available.. Have never been impressed with his coaching style.! Peter Dedevbo who finished 2nd in 2014 World Cup edition and later in 2016 eliminated on the group stage on goal difference was a better Coach..

Edwin Okon is also better..

️️ PSG starting eleven! 🔴🔵

Nicole Payne Start..

BACK TO BACK ACL INJURY HAS FINALLY ENDED SAM MEWIS CAREER PREMATURELY….


The World Cup and 3-time NWSL champion has officially announced her retirement from professional soccer…

From what I’m seeing Wafcon was scheduled to hold in November/December this year. As seen from Caf's calendar

November 23-December13!

Mama Onome Ebi was in action yesterday for Bnot Netanya FC!
.

Despite interest from Chelsea, Casey Stoney is set to remain as manager of San Diego Wave, per @M0lly_Writes ✅

daveP:
I pray something big comes this year. We need her and Nkor

Yeah yeah Maclean moving up the ladder in her Pro Career is quite good.. From Nigeria to Belarus down to Poland and now Russia..! A move from Russia to a bigger League side like Spain, France, Germany, England, NWSL and Italy won’t be difficult.

I like Macleans too especially her build. However she needs more exposure in a competitive league.

She’s quick, Uses both feet’s effectively, good in the Air, very physical, can hold up play and decisive in front of goal. she probably would have finished the top scorer in the Russian Women’s League if not for the injury that cut her season shot..! Anyway I still have high hopes in her as age is still on her side.. If she can replicate this form in stronger league like Spain, England, Germany or France i believe she stands a good chance as our no.9

daveP:
Macleans dey
Blessing Nkor dey
The makeshift don taya me.
These two can fill in imo. But no sign of call up any time soon.
Nothing is exciting me right now than how packed that midfield is.

Ayinde deputy don dey ground anyway. That's the joy. Like i said, we going to miss her alot. Baller.

Macleans Chinonyerem is that no.9 I so much believe on .. I’m a big fan of a well built top9. One of the reasons I love the likes of Birgit Prinz, Abby Wambach, Lotta Schelin, Desire Oparanozie, Gaelle Enganemoult..

Anyways I will love to see her return to the NWSL again.. She previously played for Western New York Flash in 2015/16 Season.

One thing I see again is that there’s a good understanding between Christy Ucheibe and Halimatu Ayinde in Midfield.. Both knows when to drop for each other!!

GeneralDae:
Ayinde sure. But the post I replied to already lamented how unreliable it is to bank on her due to the rate at which she gets injured. So we were speaking of players to take the baton in her absence.

I grab now, cause I was thinking I’m the only one seeing Elder Halima impact in the midfield.. Best Friends aside Okobi herself openly said she loves playing in front of Ayinde because she knows she’s there behind her to Clean things up.!

From 2014 till date that Lady has held her own in that Midfield playing alongside and in between the likes of Rita Chikwelu, Evelyn Nwabuoku, Ngozi Okobi, Chinaza Uchendu, Osarenoma Igbinovia, Tony Payne… The most indispensable under all the coaches ( Edwin Okon, Florence Omagbemi, Thomas Dennerby, Randy Walking) from 2014 till date…!

All the Coaches them picking their Midfielders as far as Halimatu Ayinde is available she will always start alongside any other two in Midfield. Her recent injuries have been a major concern especially since coming back from ACL in 2022

GeneralDae:
Otu maybe, Mbadi?? not so sure.

But I would pick Christy and Abiodun as regular starters always.

Lol 😂
So where you put Ayinde?? Cause I can see the Disrespect from some of you here about her..!

Injury aside no body in that Midfield can bench Halimatu Ayinde in her Position right now..

lovewins:
Exactly. These folks literally have the best college programme for women's football in the world (probably the only one that exists). Their college programme is better than some football leagues and they are very well funded. Yes Europe is growing but the US is still very formidable.

They have the talents ( There’s one of their 17yrs years old Midfielder who’s currently a Starter for Ajax in both league and Champions League games) scattered all over the World. They just need to get things right again... NWSL is also getting in a lot of the European, Asia and Africa players right now for better competition.

There’s another League coming up in the US right now called The USL Super League
A new league that will be kicking off in August 2024 with 10 to 12 teams that will play at the same level as the National Women's Soccer League, the top tier of women's soccer in the United States. The USL Super League announced that it will apply with U.S. Soccer for sanctioning at the top level... And the report going on is that they will Pay higher salaries than the NWSL and compete with them in all aspects.. But again I’m still wondering where the funding is going to come from

daveP:
I really pray for a fully fit, complete squad for wafcon. Most especially that midfield. We need to wrest that aspect away from SA. I also pray we get a proper 9 going forward.

I also pray we get our setpieces aspect up and running. The pk were so bad we don't even want to talk about it since then.

I believe Randy have learned his lessons, He just came in then even though there was a lot of time for him to do away with the likes of Sluggish Rita Chikwelu and Co… Again Halimatu Ayinde was nursing ACL injury back then when Randy started and she returned going to WAFCON 2022.. He had to make do with Rita Chikwelu, Regina Otu, Amanda Mbadi, Joy Bokiri, Amarachi Okoronkwo, Onyebuchi Goodness and co.. Even Okobi was hardly available then.. But the good thing now is that he already have the likes of Ayinde, Ucheibe, Abeodun, Payne, Echegini etc.

One Mistake he made was delaying in bringing in Ucheibe, even while he was commending her on Twitter during the UEFA Women’s Champions League games (One I remember very well was Benfica vs Chelsea) he spoke good of Ucheibe..

At least he don learn his lessons, if he doesn’t Win WAFCON, qualify for the Olympic and take the team to at least Bronze Medal spot then I can say that he failed because the team is already above 50% Compact!

yinkeys:
let me state this point
USA is never winning the womens game again
Football lives in Europe and the world has caught up with them in terms of tactics, infrastructure, talent in the female game
England, Spain, Sweden have surpassed them now if you ask me

The Athleticism of the US is one advantage they had in the past but I don’t think they’re really off yet… Only Spain is the major threat in women football right now.. England to me isn’t that a Big threat… Sweden is very good and composed too but they tend to fumble at the final or Semi final stages of Big tournaments..

Deltamani:
This Remo Stars and SuperFalconet U20 forward Okah Adaobi of a Girl is really talented, Quick, String, Skillful, good in the air, Can score goals and her Link up play is top notch… She would make a good false 9 too… More like a Mini Jennifer HERMOSO

I don’t think her stature will pose any effect on her game, She’s very strong and physically Capable with what have seen her play in the NWPL for Edo Queens and Remo Stars of recent, what amazes me most is her link up play. Her ability to drop into the midfield and drag defenders alongside with her decent for her age, if she can go to a good University in the 🇺🇸 or Laliga Academy or even Barcelona team B this girl will reach her potential..

This Remo Stars and SuperFalconet U20 forward Okah Adaobi of a Girl is really talented, Quick, String, Skillful, good in the air, Can score goals and her Link up play is top notch… She would make a good false 9 too… More like a Mini Jennifer HERMOSO

Here is the issue.

CAF insists that WAFCON will hold this year. However, European clubs are trying to block the date that CAF proposed. So no specific date has been given.

It’s a matter of CAF looking for a more suitable Month, Date and time for the WAFCON as this is the FIFA Window for Women Football 2024…

What’s WAFCON without the top Quality Foreign Based Players…
