They seem to be. The lost 0-6 to Cameroon, and 1-10 to Switzerland.

You may recall the above post because Cameroon is letting Switzerland have lt. If only the Nigerian Falcons attackers could borrow a leaf from the unselfish play being displayed by the Cameroonian attackers, the issue of bloody coach such as Edswine Okon should not have arisen.. Cameroon is the best African women team in this FIFA Canada 2015.

CFCfan:
FIFA may be incompetent or corrupt, but I agree with their decision to ban Njoku. The Australian player could have suffered a broken jaw, requiring surgery to fix. The $3,200 fine may have to be paid by the NFF, cos I don't see how she'll pay it out of pocket.

FIFA only flexes its muscle when the perpetrator is a African. I remembered when Amy Wambach of USA elbowed and broke a Nigerian falcon's player nose and she was never suspended. An English player received a red eye from a French player through the swing of the elbow yet it was not even reviewed by idiotic FIFA. But if what the moronic FIFA termed damned African swung the elbow, it becomes a subject of review by so-called soccer governing body.

Nigeria is, indeed, a practical joke. Why is the jungle called Nigeria blessed with moronic dingbats such as Mallam Rochas Okorocha?

RandomVic:
If we must avoid a catastrophic score line then that mama in goal Precious Dede must not start. That girl at right back Ohale abi? Shouldn't start too, she's tactically and technically inept imo. Ayinde has been absolutely non-existent in both games we've played thus far, she has no football brain whatsoever I really don't know what her role in the team is. Anyhow sha Falcons are coming back home after tonight game, just can't see them beating a much more superior USWNT.

All the African women teams at the FIFA Canada 2015 did not prepare for the tournament. Once again, lack of organization, critical thinking and discipline proved Africans shall remain Africans. It is a pity!!!

FIFA dealt Falcons a serious blow with the suspension of Njoku. She is the real enforcer in the Nigerian backline. I hope Edoho could be used in the right back position. Or the coach could draft Chukwunonye to the right back while Ohale pairs with Ebi at the center back even though Ebi has been useless in this tournament. It could be culpable crime if the coach allows Ayinde and Nwabuoku to step on the field against USWNT.

BascoVanVeli:
Look we can't blame our ladies they simply got tired u can't expect them to play 90 minutes with no subs then come back and perform u could even see it at the end when the game ended with 3 minutes left to play none of the girls protested they just wanted the game to end. Also that ref ruined us she gave our midfielder and defender yellow cards for nothing therefore taking away their edge. We need to be like Tunisia and complain kicking and screaming when we are wronged cuz nobody is going to speak up for us.

This 90-minutes talk is a hogwash. The team had four or three days to recuperate. Besides, there are players on the Matildas side that played the same 90 minutes without being substituted. Nigerians in particular and Africans in general are full of it. We know that each time our teams take the field against a European team and officials are Europeans, officiating will weigh heavily against us. Instead of Nigerians using their head during the match, they tend to get loaded with silly sentiments while chasing individual glory.

I do not think Nigeria will qualify. However, game is full of intrigues.

dodobytes:
Duru,this line-up is too offensive,the USWNT will seize the midfield easily and dominate the game for the full 90mins.

Ordega is a minus defensively,same for Sunday (in short Sunday insnt a player for this game),Okobi cant be burdened with too much defensive duties when she has to be the conduit for all our attacking moves.

The only hard tackling midfielder is Ohadugha,and trust me she will be overwhelmed if this tactical formation is employed.

The Falcons need a creative and skillful player at the midfield. I think Okobi is suited for the role. If Ohadugha is a good defensive midfielder, I had play her in the position instead of Nwabuoku who has been "no-show" in this tournament. Esther Sunday can stretch the USWNT defense with her skills thereby creating space for Oshoala and Umotong to work magic. If Ordega is at odds with defense, then 4-3-3 is the answer with Oshoala as an attacking midfielder.

samtol4:
Oparanoize no doubt is deadly striker but in this tournament she is too heavy and always falling off the ball .Please the coach should try other strikers bench Ohale and Oparanoize ...We have raw talents to beat Usa but MR OKON is tactical poor and we may consider cheap goals .

Ohale should not be benched because she has been played out of position in this tournament. I had replaced Ebi with Ohale. Also, Ayinde should be replaced with Ohadugha.

The Fulani people will continue to enjoy the wealth of the dumbass nation while Ijo peeps will continue to wallow in the illegal processing of crude oil. What a tale of two people.

bigtt76:
Serious country not like loud mouthed Nigerian team wey Don win de competition even before they kicked ball see #mtscheeeeeeeew

Not only that Nigeria is a loudmouthed ninny, the dumbass country is too big for itself. Sometimes the need/pressure to certify the so-called national character is a downer.

dodobytes:
When the momentum is with our team I would encourage them to switch to a 4-2-4 formation where Okobi either pushes to the flank and Oshoala comes into the center, or Okobi pushes straight up into the center. Nwabuoku then steps up into the central midfield role.

This should be the complexion of the team when we are on the attack and pressing for a goal. Notwithstanding Ordega and Oshoala can always interchange depending on where they both find joy.

I would not play Nku because of size issue against USWNT. Nonetheless, you have a good lineup but I had followings in the lineup:

Whyte
Njoku Ohale Chukwunonye Ebere

Ordega Ohadugha Okobi Sunday

Umotong Oshoala

Nwabuoku's play does not represent the armband she wore. She does not play or act like a captain.

olapluto:
She fell because she played for too long on artificial turf in the opening match. It is more work than on grass because the bounce of the ball is not normal. Also, she was perhaps the most hardworking against Sweden. She held the game up alone almost all the time.
Moreso, Okon trains the girls twice a day. That is too much, even for men on artificial turf.

Okon must be a dullard for training the girls twice a day.

Centrifude:
A While Back Nigerians were patting themselves on the back when those reports attacked Mugabe asking him when he was going to step down and when would the suffering in Zimbabwe stop.

But when South Africans detains a War Criminal and Mass Murderer a A MAN WHO KILLED THOUSANDS OF AFRICANS and now Nigerians are condemning S.A for detaining him.

Let's face the facts, the only problem here is that he is being detained by South Africans you guys hate the fact that its S.A and if it had been Nigeria or some other country you all would've applauded the move.

If the so-called Buckingham Palace is located in Africa, you would have been one of dumbasses in Africa etching to tear it down on the urging of the idiotic British press.

pkjag:
The U.S isn't a signatory to the ICC, so the ICC can't prosecute US leaders.

Is Sudan signatory to the idiotic ICC, the same ICC that handed Bakassi to Cameroon without minding the peoples' interest? I had cancelled Nigeria's signatory to the ICC if I found myself in the corridor of power. I shall also pull Nigeria out of dumbass UN. These so-called world bodies are imperialistic tools.

This Malian team is very good. They remind me of certain Nigerian youth team.

olapluto:
It wont take you 10 minutes of the game to start clamouring for Oparanozie. She is a handfull. The fact that she was tired against Australia doesnt mean she's no good. She has rested, so has Oshoala. Only Ordega is likely to be unfit.
You will see the real Oparanozie on Tuesday.

When she is in shape, yes. But I can tell you that Oparanozie on this stanza is a shadow of herself. She kept stumbling and falling knees over head on any touch of the ball.

dodobytes:
After the match against Australia, I think lots of people just quit on the Falcons, truth be told I kinda gave up too, I decided to just forget the game and move on jare. But being a green-white-green for life I had to ask myself questions and I found myself answering them.

What went wrong against Australia?

• I personally think the girls burnt out in the first 15-20minutes of the game, and as stamina and pace deserted us, the quickness and trickery of the Matilda’s began to show. I can attribute this to the error of fielding the same team without any changes.

• Desire Oparanozie is a good player but in this tournament she hasn’t really come to the party (it happens to the best of players, nothing personal). Against the Matilda’s she was looking very heavy and lost for pace.

• Ohale starting on the right flank was a testament to the fact that we have a coach that is stubborn and needs to upgrade his technical abilities. Why make the same mistake that cost us dearly in our first game? Truth be said, the substitution of Ohale later on in the game, as much as it was welcome, it was needless if the right thing was done initially. That slot could have been used to unleash more firepower against the opposition as we direly needed a goal to get our girls fired up again.

• As our girls tired out, we lost the engine room of the game (midfield), they completely bossed the midfield and it was only a matter of time before we conceded. Dede might not be what she used to be, but I absolve her of any blame for the two goals conceded on the day, her defenders didn’t do her any favours.

• I don’t fault Coach Okon’s substitution on the day;

 Ohale had to leave for Njoku,though it was a wasted substitution but it was needful to shore up the right side of the defence, we were looking fragile there.
 The midfield was lost, we needed to calm it down and regain some form of control,while at the same time looking to go forward.Cecelia Nku and Ohadugha cant give you that.The only player that can give you that on the bench is Perpetua,credit to her there was some form of control when she got on the pitch.
 Desire was a spent force we needed fresh legs to trouble the opposition and in comes Dike,smart move but a little too late.

I know that we have a mountain to climb to get the result against USA, but if I were Okon would I roll over and die? Never!! I would rather go out guns blazing.

So I am gonna be Okon for a moment and come up with what I feel would be my plan to get a result, I would tell my girls that we have a fighting chance, it might be a small window, but we have a chance and we should go for it. Firstly I would allow the girls go and rest, they would surely need it because against the USA, we are going to bring the thunder!!

to be continued…..

I knew this Nigerian Falcons are all about raw skills no technics due to lack of preparations. The match against Australia really expose their handicap. They are not technically sound and lacked basic know-how of elevated soccer. The second goal the Falcons conceded against Matildas indicated that the players do not even communicate with each other on the field. There was no team cohesiveness as players were bent on individual glory. This Falcon's team sucks beginning from the team preparation to selection. Most of the young and hungry players were left out of this team.

olapluto:
dodobytes, you will be making a big mistake by dropping Oparanozie. Shes miles ahead of Dike and Ini.

If she is miles ahead of Umotong and Dike, Falcons should not take the field against USWNT. Anybody is better than Oparanozie at this point. Nigeria could find a diamond in the rough.

Kennedyiheme:
atleast if he had brought her in instead of nkwocha on thursday,it cld hve been better. The earlier tht useless man replaces dede the better. The two centre backs are ok, it ohale that is givin chukwunonye a lot of work to do.... Ebere is a spectacular player, I don't understand if dis okon guy doesn't hve brain, nigerians all over the world are always happy weneva the team wants to play bt yet they'll jst dissapoint....do u knw hw many foreigners commended our game against sweden? Only for us to f*c*k up

Ebi not ohale is the one giving chukwunonye much work at the back line. Ebi has been, at best, spectator. I had replaced her with Ohale. Also, Nwabuoku and Ayinde are on sabbatical vacation. I play Esther Sunday so the Okobi will be drafted to the midfield.

Kennedyiheme:
yeah we can shock usa, if the coach take out some players, replace oparanozie for umotong, some of those girls are tired, esther sunday tht is very skillfull is on d bench, nigerian coaches are dull, all dey knw how to do is pray

The team needs fresh footballers. Oparanozie seemed overweight and stumbled at every touch of the ball. Ebi is so fat she cannot even raise her legs. Ayinde is a spectator and Nwabuoku is clueless at the midfield.

I shall use Dike or Umotong in place of Oparanoize, Ohale in place of Ebi and Njoku at the right back. I call on the help of any midfielder but Ayinde and Nwabuoku. I shall also emphasize that there is no heroine status for a goal scorer. The team must be a winner before the goal scorer.

aroti:
A lot of unintelligent football motions with the hope and prayer that we just nick a goal or goals. The Aussie were not physically superior but were more efficient and intelligent in the use and movement of the ball than our girls; I don't get it; is the black man is all about brute force and no brain. A little use of the brain in combination with our physical strength would have seen us victorious yesterday; in place Of Brain work, Coach Okon prefers prayer and worship.

It is a combination many factors. I guess preparation or lack thereof is one of the Achilles. Also, the officiating of the matches involving Nigerians leaves much to be desired. Most Nigerians are full of sentiments and love to be regarded as heroes or heroines hence every idi.ot on the football team wants to score a goal. Nigerians society is the worst of all the factors. A society that has just elected a screwball as president cannot be fancied.

CFCfan:
The Okon guy is one hell of a character. Maybe he wants the ladies to tell him the USA formation

Okon is just a part of the problem. Nigerian society is the major problem. I indicated on this thread that Nigeria will not make it out of the group stage in this tournament. The team never prepared and wrong players were selected. I can say without equivocation that Dede, Ebi, Nwabuoku, Ayinde, Ayila and Nkwocha should not have made the team. There is no doubt that Oparanozie is ridiculously out of shape hence constant tumbling and falling knees over head.

Xfemt:
dis is what u get when u ve wrong pple ruling our country
since failbuhari came on noting seems to b working
especially in football

gosh !!!

i miSs the goodluck of old days



hmmm it is well even in d well when God is aware

I must say that election of Buhari says much about Nigeria.

gsalvatore:
That Oshola of a girl is all about personal glory, has no clue about team work and I think she is over rated, what was even her input in today's match?

That Ohale and the keeper should not make these team in a sane world.

Ordega, Nkwocha, Oparanozie are super layers, very unfit for this tournament. Look at how hungry the Australians were, if they play the match for two years the layers won't equalize, they lost before setting foot on the pitch.

Finally, the coach. Do these coaches go for training at all? How did they get to become a coach? Where do they get their coaching badge? Is it the same place with the whitey counterparts? Abi Garba and OKon usually skip classes or what?

Both the flying chickens and super layers don't even have a single football sense, zero intelligence. Look at the second goal from the Australians, that's what football sense looks like. The Nigerian players and some Nigerian viewer attacking the pack of sightless wolves were even Confused, thinking it was offside.

You see, all prayers without hard work is like fvcking a girl with STD without protection thinking you won't contract the disease...

I wonder how these girls got into the list.. Better players are out there... Na so them carry Enaholo come New Zealand as keeper..

No need watching Vs USA...we need a Hail Mary.

Please add Ayinde, Nwabuoku, Ebi, Ayila and Nkwocha to list of players who should not have made the team. Most Nigerian players are like Oshoala. There is no iota of team work in their DNA.

Kennedyiheme:
I will say this again.....okons father is a born bastard, nff is the foundation of all dis problems, fire all dis idiots and bring in german tacticians

Bros, I guess one has to create an environment where tactics can work. I shall be hard pressed to believe any tactical approach will work with certain Nigerian mentality.

goingsolo:
That Fat man on the side line of our bench called edwin okon is indeed a disappointment. I heard him in the last post match boosting on how he doesn't care about his opponent and his going to thrash Australia. He said he don't care what his opponent does, with 5-10 mins he has concluded on the approach his going to use to destroy his opponent, very poor submission from the fat man, A coach in this 21st century that doesn't respect his opponent.so so sad. we need German or Dutch tacticians in all our national teams including our local clubs too.

What you heard is a component of Nigerian mentality. Nigeria cannot manage mere gutter talk less soccer.

ozijay:
IM NOT JOKING O.... NIGERIAN COACHES ALMOST WOULD MAKE ME HATE MY COUNTRY. THIS IS SO SAD... DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY FOREIGN SUPPORT WE GOT FROM THIS TEAM. I LIVE IN CANADA AND I SAW THE MULTITUDES OF CROWDS WHOSE BANKING FOR NIGERIA.
THEY ALL PLAYED POKER FACE AS THEY LEFT WITH AN UNBEARABLE DISAPPOINTMENT

EVEN THE WHITEE WEY I BIN DEY CHAIKE FOR DOCUMENT TINZ NO GREE TALK TO ME AGAIN AFTER THE MATCH

TRUE STORY...

It is not the coach but the country.
