Seems our second game of the competition comes up today against Cote D'Ivoire.

Iheanacho taking off at halftime, see curses on Twitter before then.
I feel so sorry for him. I don't think he should be played as an out and out striker anymore or from the wings.
He should operate more from the middle, behind the striker(s).
With age people tend to favour tactical smart playing over brute force strength and running.

He's skillfull and great with passes and outside the 18 goal attempts.
Coach should try him there more often.

Get ready for the #U17WWC African Qualifiers draw today! Check out the pots. 🤩
https://x.com/CAFwomen/status/1867117186684514323
CAF tweeted above 4 hours ago. 6 teams of 4 are listed here. Image is attached

Then I Found the official info here: https://www.cafonline.com/womens-football/news/caf-to-conduct-fifa-u-17-women-s-world-cup-qualifiers-draw-on-thursday/

28 teams entered for this qualifiers (though link lists 29). 6 teams of 4 are listed in teh tweet. The 5 nations not listed are Burundi, Kenya, Nigeria, Zambia and Morocco.

Also, CAF said this is Qualifiers for the 2025 U17 Womens World Cup, so I guess the 2024 Women's WAFU B U17 Tournament which starts tomorrow in Ghana (featuring Ghana, Benin, Nigeria, Niger, Cote D'Ivoire) is just a friendly tournament?

So much confusion

ok this explains it.
Burundi, Kenya, Nigeria, Zambia get bye to Round 2 (probably based on previous performance)
Morocco gets bye to Competition as host

Yes, 2024 Women's WAFU B U17 Tournament apparently just a friendly.
Nothing bad with that sha.
Seems Burkina faso is also meant to appear in WAFU tournament too...

oweniwe:
They add flair to the team.

Especially when they're extra dedicated.

Look at the Onyibo wall (Leon and Troost) .

Plumptre is not doing bad at all.

You see Alozie, it opposition player beat her, she will still gather all her strength and run to pursue the player. Most home born will do like they're pregnant when backtracking after being dribbled.

See Onumonu, she always give her best come rain come shine

O'boy this na correct colonial mentality comment. There is no evidence that foreign born players have done more for the Falcons or Eagles.

emeka123123:
Talk is not cheap...na your comment no get value! There is a reason why she is a professional, gets the flaws and plaudits where applicable, just like we do get ours in our different disciplines and workplaces!

Victor Boniface had been firing on all cylinders for his club. Onumonu just most recently hit top form! Big Difference!

Onumonu got playing time based on Waldrum's Americanized selection pattern ahead of others that should be making the team, yet hardly did she make it count, not because she was played out of position or was out of luck, she just simply didn't cut it. Now, she has started to look that part, so you can rest on comparing her with Boniface!

You know Onumonu scored the goal that qualified us for the World Cup at WAFCON 2022. But yes, she got a lot of playing times at WAFCON and could have done much better. I don't think she scored a goal again for Nigeria after WAFCON until the France friendly, she also didn't start too many games after WAFCON too. Almost missed Olympics until the injury to Ayinde.

Want to start this journey too in the coming weeks, to differentiate myself (make myself standout), and help me with (steady)jobs.

Good seeing this code wars thread from 8 years back; 2016.
Guess PHP was the in-thing then and what all Tech newbies learned.
Proof of this is in the Tech stack of many current O'Gees.

But now JavaScript/TypeScript/Reactjs is the current bride for all newbies.

Deltamani:
Whosoever they call up is non of my business, they’re all Nigerian. Just because she was born abroad doesn’t make her an Oyibo.. Abi na do Oyibo Dey be for ur Family??

Oyibo Coaches and Foreign born can be grouped alike.

There are a particular set of people who keep clamoring for Nwabali to be displaced as Super Eagles number 1, despite the fact that he hardly puts any wrong step forward.

Same set of people believe Okoye can do no wrong, even if he concedes goals wearing the green. Runs away and then chooses his own time to return.

Let's emancipate ourselves from mental slavery. Non but ourselves can free our minds.

Deltamani:
Nnadozie replacement is actually a big thing and the Coaches seem not to be ready for that which is bad.. She isn’t fit either because she was playing through pain. I was just praying yesterday that she shouldn’t injure again if not Paris FC go too vex cause they have PSG if am not mistaken as next opponent..


The Home based goalkeepers haven’t done enough, they’re best as 3rd choice at least for inclusion sake.. They should go scout abroad, USA and Europe are a good location to at least get one.

Medinat Lawal just graduated and set for pro🇺🇸

Height. 5'8"
Weight. 65kg
Age. 22yrs
Position. Goalkeeper
Club. Prairie View A&M University
Dominant Foot. Right

Agenda must Agenda. "We Only Want Oyibo" (WOWO).
What's wrong with giving Faith Omilana a chance. or even Linda Jiwuaku?
Nnadozie came up too just like Faith Omilana.

TheSuperNerd:
No Deborah Abiodun, No Halimatu Ayinde, No Tosin Demehin, No Rasheedat Ajibade, No Asisat Oshoala. That is 5 top key players missing.

The team did very okay.in their absence. Impressed with #13 Shakirat Isa and #12 Shukurat Oladipo (came in for Alozie at RB). They held the forte well when they came on.


Our goal was superb. The ball carrying and swift passing transition and in our counter attack from Blessing Nkor to Gift monday to Ifeoma Onumonu looks very much like 2013 Nigeria U17 Team featuring Yahaya, Awoniyi and Iheanacho. Clinical.


Finally, BankyGee is right. How FIFA managed to leave out Nnadozie from the FIFA The Best GKs nominees is absolutely bullcrap. Did enough this year and last season to earn it and showed again yesterday why she is indeed among the very best safe hands in the women's game.

The goal top marks to Onumonu. She showed she is in top notch physically fitness. I love her!

Blessing Nkor = received ball, calm acceleration and pass to Gift Monday 15 points

Gift Monday = Good thinking and tactical through ball for Ify Onumonu 25 points

Ify Onumonu = Smart thinking to start running pass Blessing Nkor (you can imagine Blessing should have continued running but she was tired), opening herself out to catch Gift Mondays through ball, and skillfully lifting ball over on rushing goal keeper. 60 points!!!

I wish we had also equalised. 😊🇳🇬👍🏾

Final score: France 2 - 1 Nigeria. Watched the 2nd half. We put up a respectable performance sha. 🇳🇬👍🏾

Ohale made a mountain over a mole hill. Not cool. Red card at 95th minute means nothing in a friendly.

Also why did the Coach sub in Adoo Yina,and sub her off again after about 10 minutes. Not cool. Abi na injury?

ekehopp2:
Not much updates about who's in camp, training sessions, likely starting 11, pictures!

If na Super Eagles now we would know

Both

and
NGSuper_Falcons @NGSuper_Falcons https://x.com/NGSuper_Falcons
have no info.

but just saw elsewhere that "Nigeria and Galatasaray defender Tosin Demehin has been ruled out of Saturday's international friendly against France due to injury"

Deltamani:
What is the Best Formation, Madugu can select against France?


I have a feeling Madugu will elect for a 4-3-3 formation. Barring last minute injuries, I ween our strongest starting 11 is:

Nnadozie

Alozie — Ohale — Demehin — Plumptre

Ucheibe

Echegini —- Payne

Nkor —- Onumonu —- Babajide

Substitutes
1• Unachukwu
2• Mgbechi
3• Monday
4• Adoo
5• Imuran
6• Oladipo
7• Isah
8• Omewa

Our Local Coaches play a brand of football built on largely formulaic and predictable individual play coalescing into decent team routines (physical/functional football) rather than a well calibrated, highly refined and supremely coordinated group dynamics leading the charge and devolving into unpredictable movements.

Functional football is easy to the eye and very plain. With players who know what they are doing and are very professional, it can cause problems even the most technical team on the planet.

And Madugu has highly competent players who are well versed in the job description of their roles and can raise their individual performance to make functional football effective. The traditional roles of wingers, midfielders, defenders and centre forwards (the cornerstone of physical/functional football) can be performed with class and effectiveness by most of the players invited.

After following closely the outputs of local coaches particularly in the last 5 years, I have come to perish the expectations of seeing tactical football in play. We simply do not have the infrastructure to produce this sort of football. So, hopefully our local coaches can enhance the possibilities inherent in traditional football of the 1970s 80s/90s and select players capable enough to bring modern interpretations to bear.

So, I am looking to see how things play out.

Deltamani:
How does the call-up to the Super Falcons of Nigeria work? Is it based on a quota system or do the coaches just pick randomly? Or is it the NFF that recommends players to the coaches? I don't understand how we would have such talented and in-form players in Europe and not give them a chance to prove themselves. With the absence of the dependable Rasheedat Ajibade, names like Esther Okoronkwo, Uchenna Kanu, Macleans Chinonyerem etc., I thought it was best to give a look out for the current most in-form forwards we have in Europe. How can you have talented, fast, and skillful youngsters like this that are hot in the various top leagues in Europe and not give them a look? Nigerian coaches are just so bad at taking advantage of in-form players, Madugu and his Coaching Crew need to do better...

For instance, Joy Ugochukwu Omewa, a 21-year-old CF playing for Fortuna Hjorring Women in Denmark🇩🇰, has played 14 games, scoring 11 goals and 4 assists. She's currently the top scorer in the Danish Elitedivisionen Women. Another example is Edna Imade, a 24-year-old forward playing for Granada CF Women in Spain🇪🇸, who has played 11 games, scoring 7 goals. She's currently the 3rd top scorer in the Spanish Liga F Women.



Name; Joy Ugochukwu Omewa
Position; CF
Club; Fortuna Hjorring Women, Denmark 🇩🇰
Age: 21yrs (01.12.2002)
Current Form; 14games, 11goals and 4 Assists


Note📝; She’s currently the TopScorer in the Danish Elitedivisionen Women.



Name; Edna Imade
Position; Forward
Club; Granada CF Women, Spain 🇪🇸
Age: 24yrs (05.10.2000)
Current Form; 11games, 7goals

Note📝; She’s currently the 3rd TopScorer in the Spainish Liga F Women.

There's no selection that any coach will make that everyone can be pleased 100%. Agenda must agenda

Buts jokes aside I do understand that better scouting can be done, and more merit involved (less emotions ...selecting based on relationships or possible financial gain).

Penalties. Less annoying performance then their group game. Let's see how it goes.

Deltamani:
I know NFF is trying to work the Interim Coach in as the SuperFalcons Coach, what I will always say is that the they should consider the Pace and Power of the WAFCON when picking the players as well cause this would definitely be one of the toughest WAFCON ever if not the toughest…!

There are So many players with higher testosterone level that ain’t popular yet in many of those National teams like Tanzania🇹🇿, DR Congo🇨🇩 that would announce themselves… Hope the Big Countries don’t underrate them, because right now the game is changing and everyone is improving…

There are So many players with higher testosterone level men in women sports

Very acrobatic goal. Sweet!

BascoVanVeli:
That's Offside

The TP Mazembe goal that was cancelled, they should have done more to show us detailed review on TV.
But anyways we were on the front foot in the first half. So lucky us, and well deserved.
The girls should gather themselves and get that goal.

Iheanacho and Yusuf off
Chukwueze and Onyeka on

Samueltemi337:
Starting XI according to owngoalnigeria

Maduka Okoye
Osayi-Samuel
Bruno Onyemaechi
William Troost-Ekong
Gabriel Osho
Frank Onyeka
Fisayo Dele-Bashiru
Alhassan Yusuf
Moses Simon
Kelechi Iheanacho
Victor Boniface


I like the midfield
And that Osho is starting again
But Chukwueze should have started instead of Iheanacho
And I have a feeling that Boniface will get his first goal for the Super Eagles today

No taste of action yet for Sadiq Umar, Chukwueze and Collins the Local based Guy. But it's all good if true.
