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!

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.

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

Nomyth:

Deltamani:
International Friendly!

Super Falcons starting XI vs Algeria

Where's Chidinma Okeke, our Olympic left back? She was in the 25 man squad.

Deltamani:
I will pick Linda & Omilana for grooming instead, Linda big and tall and she alongside Omilana have shown potentials. Linda physique is very intimidating btw the stick. This doesn’t take away their abilities of the Shot heavy goalkeepers called up but I’m still wondering what they say in these thick short ones🥹



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75ymwYnON4w?si=Y-XeVZhnYhSrhzDB

Linda Jiwuaku & Faith Omilana, Supported!

daveP:
Man rested Effiong and risked Moshood, knowing fully well that we need her free from cards and fresh for USA?

Na why i dey call am handler till tomorrow.

He also rested the left back, Ekezie. So 3 changes in all.
Ekezie, Effiong and Chidi.

FT: Dominican Republic 1-1 New Zealand.

Following the above result, the Flamingos are now through to the quarterfinals!

Kpom!
Nigeria - USA Quarters loading.
These girls need to stay focused and go all the way to the finals

isan:
Sub moshood before she pick 2nd yellow card

You dey mind the Coach. Even with comfortable lead.
Commentator sef just mentioned, that's he's wondering if we'd have further changes.

ekehopp2:
This group is too easy, I expect 9 points.
The challenge will be in the Quarter-finals.
On paper should be USA or Spain.
Both tough!!!

Yep this will surely happen all things being equal.
We're well on our way to 2 wins out of 2.
I love the confidence of the team.
Much better than Set 2022.

This our Coach sef. You have a comfortable lead. Make 3 subs now. Then another 2 shortly.
Manage the work load, keep them all sharp.

This group is too easy, I expect 9 points.
The challenge will be in the Quarter-finals.
On paper should be USA or Spain.
Both tough!!!

CAF decision will likely be a Libya fine, maybe hosting match ban, and match reschedule at a neutral venue.
We'll now have to play 3 matches in the November FIFA window.

Sad all around.
But knocks to the NFF leadership for the poor treatment of the Libyans that warranted all this.

charlesemeka85:
NFF STATEMENT 👇

Super Eagles still at Al Abraq Airport 12 hours after landing in Libya!

The delegation of Nigeria to Tuesday’s 2025 AFCON qualifier against Libya still remained at the Al Abraq Airport 12 hours after landing in Libya.

The chartered ValueJet aircraft was, strangely and in a dangerous manner, diverted to the small airport away from Benghazi just as the pilot was completing his approach to the Benghazi Airport. We understand the Al Abraq International Airport is only used for hajj operations.

Fatigued players and officials have remained nonplussed as the host Libyan Football Federation failed to send any reception team or even vehicles to take the delegation members from the airport to their hotel, said to be 3 hours away in Benghazi.

The NFF made arrangements for separate vehicles for the team, but the plan was unhinged by the diversion of the aircraft.

Players have resolved not to play the match any longer as NFF officials are making plans to fly the team back home.

Copied from X

I'm just getting to know that the Libyans didn't receive a smooth welcome in Nigeria. This is inexcusable; the NFF should be ashamed.

However, two wrongs don't make a right. The NFF should calmly sort things out with the Libyan FA because a boycott would mean 3 points lost and fines. CAF should take note.

Congrats to her. 2nd division or so I guess?

Nigeria SuperFalcons to Face Algeria 🇩🇿 in a double header Friendly game on October 26 & 29

Proper thing to do, but I guess won't be the full team with International players?

Clear as f*ck but no audio

PDPGuy:
We’ve pulled one back 😁

I went to bed shortly after the second goal. It was that hopeless. But great to know 👍🏾
