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

Especially someone who resides in Karu, nyanya, mararaba or it environs as this will be onsite contract.

I got you. DM me.

Edo Queens are out.
About to be 3-1 down, plus TP Mazembe even had a goal disallowed.
Sad end for Edo Queens

Edo Queens

Head Coach/Technical Manager: Aduku Moses Opuamowei

BascoVanVeli:
Emem Essien golazo

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.

Deltamani:
Hannah Yusuf 🇳🇬 officially signs with University of Pittsburgh, led by former SuperFalcons Coach Randy Waldrum, in the United States 🇺🇲.


Congratulations are in order. She will join Deborah Ajibola Abiodun and Celine Ottah at Pittsburgh.

She's friends with Deborah Abiodun. But I can't recall her being in any of the 2022 or 2024 U17 or U20 sets.

Good luck to her. Congrats!

TheSuperNerd:
Ejike Ikwu (#14) from that U17 Class of 2015 currently plays under the same coach that he won the U17 WC with 9 yrs ago, Emmanuel Amunike AT Heartland FC in the 2024/25 NPFL season.

Dorns #15 for Heartland and plays in defence.

He never made it abroad. Eyaa. E no easy

jihday:
while we always struggle to kill off our own opponents in qualifiers but when tournaments start we’ll somehow drag ourself to the final four

And what's wrong with the question?
Perfectly normal. If it's an opinion that you believe is false, you simply debunk it.
If true, explain why and possibly proffer solutions to fix it.

TheSuperNerd:
Better than meeting AS FAR so soon. Mazembe are good (not stronger than Sundowns) but I think Edo can get the job done. Clinicality will be their only problem vs Mazembe. If they can finish, then Mazembe is finished.

I like that the 2 North African Teams are meeting each other.
No inferiority complex, which us Black Africans tend to have.
Plus they can use their North African times wasting and aggressive wayo and cancel each other out.

Let me go and look at TP Mazembe match highlights

TheSuperNerd:
How you can miss it twice on two threads (Super Eagles and Super Falcons) in the same day is amazing

How far naa?

Lols, didn't watch the first match. But I watched Edo Queens against FC Masar. Their performance there, especially when you also look at how our U17 and U20 Teams went out in this year's WorldCup, was justifiable reasons to write them off.
But they served me humble pie and i'm happy eating it.

The Super Eagles have already qualified. For Team cohesion it's only fair you also give the unused guys time on the pitch.
Eguavoen is a reasonable fellow. I trust everyone will get some minutes.

ThePresenceWtf:
Edo Queens!!!!!!!!

Congrats to the girls they deserve it. Hit bar twice, missed penalty.
Well done!

ThePresenceWtf:
Damn....Emem missed an open net with no goalkeeper in goal


😂😂

Yeah saw it. Essien number 11. So unlucky

ThePresenceWtf:
Sundowns 1 - 0 Edo Queens

As things stands,

Masar FC - 7 Points
Sundowns - 6 Points
Edo Queens - 4 Points

Edo is going out 🤦‍♂️

No surprises, after their Masar performance, Coaching Crew inclusive, I wrote them off.

lbrichman2:
Updates..

With Nwabali, Ola Aina and Lookman out, I expect Eguavoen to try all other guys out.
My Preferred starting 11:

----- Boniface -- Sadiq Umar
Dele Bashiru ----- Chukwueze
-------------Onyedika
---------Alhassan -- Onyeka
--- Collins -- Osho -- Osayi-Samuel
---------------Okoye

With this line up Chukwueze would Captain. Or Onyeka.

Deltamani:
🚨 Esther Opeyemi Ajakaye, formerly of FC Robo and Madrid CFF, has signed with Kansas City Current, increasing the number of African players on the team to four, including Temwa Chawinga🇲🇼, Hildah Magaia🇿🇦, and Adam Jereko🇰🇪.

The striker will go on loan from the National Women's Soccer League side to play with Caroline Ascent FC in the USL Super League this season. 📝

Lovely! Wish her success
We have a tidy number of our U17 - U20 girls in the US now.

Deltamani:
Yeah… the main team should prosecute the game for sure but again some of the top talents in Midfield might not be available the likes of Halimatu Ayinde, Christy Ucheibe and Onyi Echegini… Deborah Abiodun have the NCAA Tournament on ground that’s if they get to the quarterfinals 29/30 of November..

Ok great. NFF dey cut cost against Algeria be that, knowing it would be a routine win.

But those 2 overweight Goal keepers, backups to Nnadozie? Will they still likely be around for much longer or retire soon?
Justin Magudu should look towards Faith Omilana and Linda Jiwuaku biko.

Deltamani:
November International Window….

The Nigerian Super Falcons will face off against France later this month 🇫🇷⚔️🇳🇬 at Angers' Raymond Kopa Stadium.


📍 Angers
🏟️ Raymond Kopa Stadium
30th Nov, 2024
🕕 9:10 p.m.

Yeah, I expect full compliment of our foreign based stars except Justin Magudu don dey...
I hope there's another game during the window. Should be 2 matches.

Nice to see Justin Magudu making changes.

Dem swear for Bankole Olowookere make him no make changes . Him own changes no dey pass forced substitutions, or only 1 or 2 after 80 minutes. Nothing concern am say FIFA raise substitution from 3 to 5 players.

Christopher Danjuma too dey the same camp.

Na the same kunu dey give Finidi drink wey make am fail.

Where una dey watch match? Share link abeg

Ok NFF TV
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Vv_cBHWDBA&ab_channel=NFFTV

Streaming started late, but if you scroll back, the highlight (4 goals) were shown during half time

2 - nil. I no watch again. Moshood's recklessness is all so annoying now.
From hero to zero. The game was balanced before then.

TheSuperNerd:
That is not a penalty. These people have come. What nonsense.

Clear penalty. clipped her leg. Moshood was very careless.
Should have just Shepard her out
