Anyway sha, mk we use this one hold hand… e nor easy

But wait ooo, the likes of Faith Ikidi, Helen Ukaonu and Ngozi Ebere where products of Chinese System

Please use the word, brilliance, economically when you write about anything Nigeria. Faith Ikidi remains my favorite Nigerian female soccer player followed by Helen Ukaonu yet I had to be hellishly pressed to use the word, brilliance, to describe the girls' soccer artistries.

I know very well that Randy wouldn’t move this bolted two upfront as he’s strong headed.

The above post has been nicely edited.

Hopeba:
Silly ass men talking about females

Only a dumbass man frowns at anything female!!!

Deltamani:
Toni is far better on the right yes, but she plays the Left Back far better than Glory Ogbonna which is the issue on ground.

In terms of pace Ashleigh Plumptre would be beaten but she’s more intelligent and tends to position herself wisely and when she burst forward, she does well.
Unlike Glory Ogbonna, going forward and defensively i haven’t been impressed at all..

Still waiting for the rightful time when the likes of Patricia George, Ramat Imuran will own that position.

As for Nicole Payne she’s a right back but your Coach will gladly play them all out of position..

Tony Payne plays Midfield better than Ayinde. Why do you not make this argument too? Ashleigh Plumptre has better awareness of the field than any player groomed in Nigeria who plays for Falcon.

Schemerkhiz:
Oh Please don't even go there okay.

Go and watch the following few games and come back later. Incase you don't have the game full clips I will gladly send them to you.

Aisha Buhari Cup against South Africa
AWCON qualifying game against Ghana
Summer Series game against Portugal
Summer Series game against USA


Glory Ogbonna is not even qualify to play the Superfalcons Left Back..

Nicole Payne who's naturally a Right Back is far better than her at Left Back.

As for Patricia George, Glory Ogbonna doesn't come close an inches..

Ramat Imuran proved herself at the U20 what she can bring to the table..


Talking about Tony Payne and Ashleigh Plumptre it would definitely be an insult to them pitching Glory Ogbonna with them. Glory Ogbonna doesn't have such brilliance.

What brilliance are you on about? Tony and Ashleigh are not products of Nigerian village soccer. Glory Ogbonna is very good at her level based on Nigerian school of thought. Nigerian system sucks.

daveP:
Flourish ended this badly, esp in rating.

Two silly mistakes were the biggest difference for this match, forget our inability to find the net. Coming from your captain, in a team where most of the girls look up to you, shows how those mistakes affected morale.


The Dutch Ajax approach was just vivid. Unlike France, they did their home work on our attackers.


We failed woefully in tactics.

They were playing from the back and only Okwuchukwu was pressing and running while Sebastine was not doing same. Amoo and Abiodun left their markers 5times in the first half. Like,they weren't marking nobody and so two useless legs for 5 times.

Jerry Joy added a spark to the press. I'm sure if we simply beat their press, we would have made them falter and get goals. We made them comfortable at the back.


2nd half showed desperation and breakdown of mental strength as everyone wanted to shoot tame shots at goal. Alani that i was scared for had a good game.


This loss pained Onyenezide pass everybody else.


The post match interview of Danjuma reveals a touch of tactical cluelessness.

The knowledge of anything aftermath does not indicate intelligence. Africans in general and Nigerians in particular tend not to have knowledge of anything beforemath. Before the Falconets were defeated by a better technically sound team than them, most contributors on this forum frowned at the instance the Falconets are technically lost.

Deltamani:
Glory Ogbonna have been given more than enough chance, so there’s nothing to talk about by the way she’s not even up to the Makeshifts Left Backs Tony Payne and Ashleigh Plumptre sef!

Right now she’s not even better than U20 Ramat Imuran even though the game at the Senior level is more tougher, quicker and requires more and more..

I wonder what you want to defend here.!

These are not good Left Backs. Tony Payne is excellent Right Back while Ashleigh Plumptre is a magician at LCB. Ashleigh is easily outpaced by pacy wingers. While would any coach move Tony to Left Back while she is a landlord at the Right Back?

kwametut:
Mandela didn't stay even a day in Nigeria he use to criss cross Africa on his way to Russia. He has been to North Africa, West Africa and east Africa and southern Africa. Even Prince Harry of UK can tell you that but Nigerian fools claims Mandela was in the zoo/NGR? You have No shame Nigerian youth in fact your politicians know you idiots spend your time spreading hatred over the internet instead of uplifting yourselves. Buhari told you that many times. Lastly haters Bantu isn't an insult but a Group of related African languages that share ancestry. Bantu speakers are the Biggest Language Family in Sub Sahara Africa/Black Africa they spread from Southern Cameroon, Kenya, Uganda all the way down to SA. Samuel Eto is Bantu he won't be offended if you called him Bantu or Uhuru Kenya of Kenya won't take offense as well.

Per the bolded. you are not only new to certain historic facts but totally ignorance of the fact.

Deltamani:
Bayelsa Queens Left Back, Miracle Joseph bagged The Player Of The Match Award For Her Superb All-round Performance Against Athleta Ladies FC Of Togo

This is new page to be turned in Nigerian soccer lifecycle. The silly idea of heaping praises on a dumbass goal scorer has turned young Nigeria players into mediocre.

How can this moronic "Patriot" scathingly talk about Obi, beer and Aso Rock when the dumbass supports quota system. Any person who claims to be a Patriot and supports the crap such as quota system is a goon.

Deltamani:
One of Okobi point in her recent Interview live on Instagram… This mentality need to change, football is team work… If the defence don’t hold their own side and the midfield doesn’t do their job while the forwards don’t score nothing will come out..

This silly mentality is the bane of development of soccer in Africa in general and Nigeria in particular.

AkinDS:
Gosh! She's still a kid, for Christ's sake. Lay off on her and her teammates, will ya?? Geez!
Once she gets into a club a bigger club (in Europe, hopefully), she would be taught the art of modern football, the same way the likes of Oshoala and Ajibade were taught and we are seeing how rounded they have become now.
Ditto that for the high prospects from the team - herself, Demehin, Onyenezide, Oshobukola, Chiamaka (#7), Alani, Abiodun and perhaps, Idoko.
Wish the others good luck in their respective careers.

The bolded is simple expression of inferior mentality. The only two technically sound players in the Falconet squad are #8 and #14. The #13 is a glorified wet blanket while #7 and #17 need heavy load of film studies of the games.

timay1:
It's as a result of poor football development and upbringing.

Most Nigerian footballers , male or female of any age didn't start from a proper football academy where the basics are taught till, they were very mature and no more malleable.

Most of them play street football till their early or mid 20s and those shitty trait is an Hallmark of street football, and not professional football.

When some of them get to play in a proper professional setting, some adapt themselves and correct that error, but a lot of times, majority are far too gone to be able to be corrected.

Even if I had to agree partly with the bolded, the basics were thought when we played "academicals" in Nigeria. I remembered when the game masters had to carry a symbolic cane while instructing us not to touch the ball more than twice in order to seek out teammates who were open. I guess the guilt rests with the idiotic culture in today's Nigeria where a dumbass goal scorer is held as hero or heroine.

Schemerkhiz:
While it is nice to dribble your opponent, goals and assists are more important.

Most important thing in any competition is "W". Most Nigerian players of any grade idiotically soaked in "I score the goal mentality".

Danielnino00:
And when we accuse the NFF of incompetency,some people will come and tell us how they have been doing this and that...

The chap you responded with above post only wants to know how many of his/her tribal girls are in the list of the invited players.

Captain Oluwatosin Demehin's concession and appreciation message after Falconets missed out in the quarterfinal of FIFA U-20 Womens World Cup, Costa Rica 2022.

Self-deluded Nigerians hardly learn anything.

tupacshakur:
The Naij editor is, no doubt, on point. The Igbos dominate when it comes to Nigerian football.

Meanwhile, the present female African footballer of the year, Asisat Oshoala is Yoruba.

Nigeria's leading all-time goal scorer is Rasheed Yekini, followed by Segun Odegbami. They are both Yorubas.

Yorubas sef dey try!

The bolded remains the reason soccer faces a downward spiral in Nigeria. Someone passed the ball to Yekini and Odegbami to score a goal.
As for the Oshoala, it good notice you qualified her with the "Present". There had been Igbo female African footballer of the year before now.

Deltamani:
Even before now, Non of them is getting into the Superfalcons starting 11 but at least 5 can make the Provisional list… Making the final list is also another tough task for them… Demehin has Zogg, Akudo Ogbonna to battle with..

Abiodun has Otu, Ayinde, Ucheibe to contend with

Onyenezide has a better chance though, Just Okobi who’s the well known Superfalcons AM, then Tony Payne, Efih again If Chinaza Uchendu comes back to form..

Sabastine good but very selfish today, She have big girls to contend with…

Ramat Imuran already beat Glory Ogbonna just N Payne and Patty George

The bolded should be dropped from the Falcons to make room for #4 of the Falconets.

TheSuperNerd:
Flourish Chioma Sabastine. Too bad. Talented but still a lot to learn in terms of teamwork. You cannot go it alone. If she had used her "sense" to cut back a few times or raised her head to try locate a teammate, the result might have been different.

Her selfish plays are immature for the Super Falcons right now.

Only Esther Onyenezide is mentally, technically and tactically matured to walk into the present Super Falcons from this set.

There is a reason I termed Esther, a Super Falcons material 100%.

Flourish is good and can get in on a 75% pass rating but Esther Chinemerem Onyenezide is the Biggest Truth of this set.

Really sad we crash out due to two errors from one of our most reliables in Demehin. She will learn from this and grow into a better CB I hope.

At the bolded, I must say excellent observation. However, I shall add #14 to the grid.

Deltamani:
CAF Women’s Champions league you say?

Bayelsa Queen currently have the toughest Goalkeeping Competition in the NWFL..

1. Cameroon first Choice Goalkeeper is there
2. Onyinyechi Okeke still rated one of the best though but hasn’t been able to hold on to a regular spot in the Superfalcon squad, One week in 2 weeks out..
3. Sandra Chiichii 2014 U20 Women World Cup first Choice Goalkeeper…

4. Oyono Omini is 4th in the Rankings at Bayelsa Queens, I wonder how she got the spot in the Falconet..

It is called age competition, hence U20.

Occurstaem:
Our defenders and forwards (except our right back and midfielders) let us down. I'm not sure if they can make the 2023 world cup squad at the moment with the way they played. They just wasted the efforts of our midfielders.

At a point I was wondering if it's only Sabastine we got because I don't why the coach didn't sub her for a fresh leg.
Finishing 0
Team work 0

A team cannot have "Finishing" and "Teamwork" when the players' only concern is to score a goal. Nigerians must deemphasize the importance of goal scorer in a team.

JohnBullMySon:
I said it since the first game that the attack is mostly individual brilliance. The build ups were good football however.

In the first half, the statistic was the Falconets took 18 shots only 2 were directed to the goal post.

JohnBullMySon:
Honestly she has a good run. It was difficult for the Dutch to mark her down.

If this was the case, then the Falconets lacked the ability to seek out a teammate. I guess what gave rise to this defeat are lack of basics and the need to be a heroin. I scored the goal.

The Falconets lacked 101 of soccer. In addition, the coaches seemed not to know the abilities of their players. How could any coach start #13 over #15?

JohnBullMySon:
Sabastine's solo efforts are impressive but we're not going to score like that. Someone should let her know there's something called PASSING

There is absolutely nothing impressive about Sabastin's solo efforts.

gameboy727:
Sebastine has poor decision making

I guess moronic Nigerian press too. The news media in Nigeria tend to heap useless praises on a goal scorer.

mickyeddi:
That kick sent his brain to hibernation

Luck is always abounded in sports

crazygod:
AJ picked the wrong time for a rematch. The western world will always be sympathetic to anything Ukraine now. Congratulations to Usyk.

The bolded brought me squarely in front of Chalsea-Tottenham match.

kenzysmith:
Common uysk you can't knock him off he even won you the second time oga no just near Tyson fury or dentony Wilder quit boxing now and stop disgracing your self. And pls stop tagging Nigeria to your name you are British we don't associate with failures . Your mates are busy training and improving their skills you always in one function or the other. You have brought disgrace to Nigerians dentony Wilder is far better than you retire now a word is enough for the wise. Ote

The dude is a one-time show. He is not cut out for the rough life in the ring.

Two changes in the lineup need to be activated for Falconets to have a good crack at the team from Netherland. The wearer of jersey #10 should take the place of #7 while #15 takes the place #13. It appears #7 does not know what to do with ball most of times while #13 is a wet blanket. Falconets need pacy players up front to keep the Netherlanders on their toes. I think #9 and #10 can, at least, harass the backfield of the team from Netherland. In addition, #15 seemed to have the range of the ball better than #13.
