BascoVanVeli:
Very foolish attempt to win the ball sha
Brazil 1-1 Cameroon

Yeah the Cameroon defender was needlessly aggressive.
No immediate threat to score, just shepard her to safety, instead she went for a slight push

BascoVanVeli:
Cameroon go up 1-0 Naomi Eto'o having an Oshoala like tournament so far

Yes oh! On second thoughts I looked through both Teams Group stages. Cameroon did well and only lost to the host.
I guess the 3 teams in Brazil's group (they had a perfect score, 9 points) weren't all that (Fiji most especially).

TVTM2023:
The girls played well against Venezuela but now i think they should get ready to play defence and the game of their lives against Japan.

Japan is very technical and very very good at set pieces.
An early goal will help Nigeria.



At least 3-2 can be the score or so.


If Nigeria qualifies, it will be good.

If we are lucky to beat Japan, we go come go face tiki taka Spain.
No hope really. We're not that fluid.

For the final 3rd place spot, because of goal difference Costa Rica (-11) are all but ruled out.
So its basically Ghana vs Argentina. Whoever wins goes through.
If both win, then Argentina.
If both fumble then Paraguay gets their spot.

oloriooko:
now i can see why danjuma benched ajakaye, the few touches she had when she came on were really poor with terrible ball judgement
no wonder she's been on the bench and i thought she was going to be the next oshoola

BTW why are our northern gals not prominent in women football

Life's a biatch.

U17 WorldCup 2022 Opeyemi Ajakaye had the time of her life, while Chiamaka Okwuchukwu (U20 WorldCup 2022) got the minutes but kept missing chances after chances.

But now Chiamaka Okwuchukwu is shinning!
2 goals, 2 assist.
I pray she gets a US school scholarship.
Very bright girl!

ekehopp2:
Germany 1 - Venezuela 0
17 minutes in.
Venezuela should be easy 3 points for us.
We await 12 midnight

Just like i predicted. We qualify 2nd with 6 points.
We'll face Japan in Round of 16 though.
I hear they're very co-ordinated.
They'll likely knock us out

(All 4 lines as at 63rd minute are almost certain predictions )

SamueItem337:
Possible XI against Benin Republic

Nwabali


Aina
Ajayi
Ekong
Bassey

Ndidi
Onyeka
Iwobi

Simon
Osimhen
Lookman

Osimhen shouldn't start tomorrow, he should come from the bench.
He was late. Not to mention the Finidi thing. Which he still hasn't publicly apologized for.
Starting him would set a bad precedent, and would further undermine our local Coaches.
There are 23 players in camp, no one is indispensable.
Eguavoen should show so.

Our play is much better in this game. A bucket full of chances. Sadly all wasted!

Sunnyson8:
Very Selfish Play from Osigwe… Could have given that ball to Okwuchukwu who was better positioned.

Very annoying but sadly very common in these age grade competitions. Every trying to score/shine as their way out of poverty.

Not encouraging at all.
Would like to see Ajakaye to add hustle to the attack in second half.
This game and Venezuela are supposed to get us the 6 points we need.

Germany 1 - Venezuela 0
17 minutes in.
Venezuela should be easy 3 points for us.
We await 12 midnight

But I still don't know if SuperSports will broadcast our game tonight or if I have to look for streaming links.

P/S: ok, no restrictions to Nigeria. Seems we can stream free on FIFA Plus https://www.plus.fifa.com/

Deltamani:
Linda Caicedo is the most valuable player at this year’s U20 World Cup 🤑

Rofiat Imuran arguably the biggest name in the SuperFalconet Squad…!

Tournament starts 9pm today by the way.
Our first game against South Korea is 12am Monday 2nd September
Night vigil!

Deltamani:
US A College based Defender!

Through thick and thin, it's her job to keep the backline safe… Former U17 Right Back Mamuzo Edafe!

Would have loved to see her selected for the current U20.
Oh well, chances will come.

Deltamani:
Courtney Ozioma Dike made headlines in 2014 when she rejected a $7,000 bonus after representing Nigeria at the 2014 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup.

Courtney made headlines at the tournament by scoring the fastest goal in FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup history—just 14 seconds into Nigeria's match against Korea Republic

Born in Edmond, Oklahoma, to Nigerian parents Vincent and Jacinta Dike, Courtney grew up excelling in both academics and football. Born on February 3, 1995, Dike is part of a distinguished soccer family. Her brother, Bright Dike, and cousin, Emmanuel Emenike, both played for Nigeria's senior men's national team, the Super Eagles.

At Edmond North High School, she scored over 90 goals and later became one of only seven players in Oklahoma State University (OSU) history to earn all-conference status at least three times.

Dike capped her collegiate career with numerous accolades and graduated in 2017 with a master's degree in accounting.

In 2015, Dike continued to make waves on the international stage, earning two caps for Nigeria at the FIFA Women’s World Cup in Canada.

Her brief but impactful international career includes representing Nigeria at the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup, where she made history as the first native Oklahoman to ever play in a World Cup match.

Now 29 years old, Courtney Dike has transitioned from the soccer field to the accounting field. A certified public accountant, she currently resides in Los Angeles, where she continues to contribute to her community in new ways..

Courtney Dike was the first dual nationality player to break into the Falcons, way before the current gold rush.
That's as much as I remember. Am i correct?

Deltamani:
Onyenezide Esther Chinemerem is off to Israel🇮🇱

Safe flight Esther!

I thought her and Ajakaye Opeyemi were already signed to Madrid CFF in Spain?

Deltamani:
After going through the photo thoroughly on several occasions i noticed that Danjuma picked 21 player for the tournament… and I was able to Identify 19 of them, THE PLAYERS I WAS ABLE TO IDENTIFY…!

Wow, nice effort. This team already has many abroad based players unlike the 2022 set. Beautiful to see 👍🏾
Rofiat Imuran should naturally be the captain of this team based on who broke into the falcons first.

From @thenff I can see that the Falconents will depart tomorrow to the #FIFAU20WWC starting in Colombia on 31 August – 22 September
Anyone with Team list? Want to see the number of U17 and past U20 players that made it to this.

From the 2022 squad from the best of my knowledge the below have japa-ed

Deborah Abiodun
Oluwatosin Demehin
Esther Onyenezide
Flourish Sabastine
Rofiat Imuran

A good number too from the U17 2022 Squad

.

Deltamani:
If Chioma Okafor really want to play at the World Cup and major tournaments as she has dreamed of, she better forget about Malawi 🇲🇼 and pick Nigeria🇳🇬

Except the Uconn Women Soccer striker wants to go the Chawinga Sisters way…!

Nigerian Father and a Malawian Mother, though she was born in Malawi.

Allow her, we have too many players. Her best bet of featuring regularly is to play for Malawi. For Naija she might feature once or twice, after strong connections, and without no immediate impact that will be it.

DDayve:
Been smooth so far...thanks for asking

Alright, great to know. When you can, please share a more detailed story of lessons learnt, and tips for those coming behind you.

DDayve:
niel63 and others who gave a constructive criticism when I posted my portfolio project here, I want to specially thank you.

After several failures and trials, I finally got a tech job as a front-end web developer.

I have been on my graduate job for 8yrs now but my first tech job which is remote pays me more. Funny enough, I still do both. My onsite job is presently not stressful, so I write code while at work using company power.

My advice to newbies, the road is not rosy but there is definitely gonna be light at the end of the road if you persist.

Congrats, how has the job been these 10 months?

To land them is an issue.

The consolation I have is that my I am using my knowledge to develop a personal project in laravel.

Hopefully by God’s grace, I may launch it before the year ends.

What has helped me. Join communities where there are many senior Developers.
You'll hear them banter alot about the eco system and share vacancies.
Direct vacancies as in: "my office needs so and so kind of developer. Know anyone? Please share CV".
They also outsource small gigs often. That's the window I used to get my first gig. Expecting follow up of similar gigs too.
If you want to join the group, DM me. Will send you the link.

Aww so happy for her. I remember her exploits at the WorldCup well. I love her! Very humble girl on the exterior too!

If u want to learn fast buy a course from Udemy,
If u want to go slow and steady get videos and PDF materials from Google .
Then dedicate your time to learning it.
That's just it.

This is web development, there are a proliferation of free courses online.
You don't have to spend 1 kobo when you're still at the beginning stage.
Freecodecamp, codecademy, YouTube tutorials/courses etc Use them!

The only money you should be spending is on data, and a laptop.

I don't think I'm ready to learn a new language yet.
This Javascript/Typescript I learned must pay good first.
Will go deeper with my fullstack instead, and pivot only after i start eating good.
Better a master at one, then a jack of all trades.
