I have been following the falcons since their first outing in China. They never disappoint. They play with dedication despite the fact that they are not paid as much as the eagles. They qualified for a senior world cup before the eagles did and they got to the quarterfinal of the competiotion while super eagles are yet to achieve that. Today, they just played a 3-3 draw with one of the super houses of femal football. When was the last time the eagles beat any team in FIFA top 20?


But i thought u said we will win the match. So y are u celebrating a draw? grin

nigeria will win....
C unlike male football, female football teams hardly create upsets. Results most often go according to pre-match rating.

Do u know dat d last time the Falcons won a match at d women world cup was in 1999 in The last grp game against Denmark.

Even when we paraded more matured and experienced squads in d last 16yrs.We have still nt won a single match.
This squad is really young & so lack experience and dat will really work against them. sad

ENDTIMES:
FIFA should allow south Africa participate in every tournament whether they qualify or not so that dstv will show the matches angry

That shows that DSTV no send d rest of Africa. They even have more viewership in Nigeria more than that their Xenophobic land.

The Falcons have never disappointed me. Even when they lose, they lose with dignity unlike those arrogant Eagles that only love money. We will qualify from the group. I dey sure.

Have you ever watched d World women Championship? Jst to avoid heart break jst lower ur expectation. No b Flying Eagles b this.

Politics / Re: G7: Why Buhari Smiles Sheepishly Without A Single Joke Cracked...!!! by icon4ss: 3:28pm On Jun 08, 2015
I was a strong supporter of Goodluck bt i must say this.Buhari is deeply sorrowed bc Nigeria that he left behing is on fire.

Y should he b laughing:
when he knows dat scores are dying per day in d North East.
When 44% of Nigerian youths are unemployed
When an average home in Nigeria cannot boast of more than 3hrs of Power a day.
When Nigerians have been queeing to buy fuel for months
When naira is exchanged for N230 to a dollar.

He physically is in Germany bt his mind is with Nigerians.

I refuse to play opposition politics bc i am nt a politician.This is a kind of leader we need. A man with aperthy.

I entered "ghostmode" today for a reason. Ive been bedridden for the better part of the day. However, it still didn't stop me from crawling out of the bed to watch the match.

The match was an absolute borefest with almost nothing to play for since both countries had already qualified for the next round.

That said, I will not hesitate to commend awoniyi for his brilliantly taken two goals. Dunno which to rate higher though a standing ovation must be given for what should be termed "the assist of the tournament" in the long throw by enaholo which resulted in the 2nd goal. That throw should be the longest throw I've ever seen in my over twenty-someting years of football viewing, that has resulted in a goal!

That said, I didn't enjoy the match at all (neither have I enjoyed the previous two matches either, save for the first half performance against Brazil) and if the flying eagles do not step up their gameplay a couple of notches higher than they've been showing since the beginning of this tournament, they MIGHT NOT beat Germany!

I'm not really picking bones with the players themselves but with the coaching staff. Why have we started with this new taactic of spraying 4-5 inconsequential passes among the backline and midfield pivots and the hoof the ball in the air towards the striker?!

I noticed this a lot during the African Championship but I thought its could be maybe due to lack of adequate camping time and that by the time the worldcup started, all the kinks would have been ironed out.

But to my chagrin, its still there.

I hope..*hmmm!!*...I just hope that this "new" playing pattern is just a sham so as to decieve our opponents in the later stages of the tourney of our tactical vulnerability until we show them our real hand thereby tearing their match-strategies into shreds.

Anyway.. until the next game against germany!... lemme still have hope and belief in our boys!

Fly Nigeria!!
grin



Get well soon bro. Safarigirl missed u grin

I have also noticed those 4-5 backline/midfield passes since d AYC. Any team dat knows how press up front would capitalise on any loose balls and purnish us. That was what CIV did in our final grp game at d AYC. And dat was what led to Brazil's first goal.

I have still nt seen a midfielder in the mode of Mikel of U20 That can set up attackers from d midfield. If we had dat kind of player by now a player like Awoniyi would have become a Super star bc he capitalises on long passes.

Against Germany we should as much as possible avoid misplaced passes as they typically purnishe teams dat are nt co-ordinated. With 2 mistakes u are 2 goals down within 10mins and d rest would b history.
