If we are sitting back like against canada
Regina...................ucheibe
...............Ajibade

Schemerkhiz:
Club or Country this trio are the best in Midfield...

To me (#12) Patri is the best Defensive Midfielder in the World followed by Germany Lena Oberdorf.


Which pair would be the possible best trio for the Superfalcons in Midfield going to the AWCON and World Cup proper
• Rita Chikwelu
• Ngozi Okobi
• Halimatu Ayinde
• Rasheedat Ajibade
• Regina Otu
• Christy Ucheibe
•Tony Payne
• Amanda Mbadi
• Peace Efih
• Onyi Echegini
• Joy Bokiri

Asisat missed 2 one on one , i don't know if her finishing can get better

No tough group here

Schemerkhiz:
The CONCACAF Draw.....


Group A the toughest..

4 Semi Finalists qualify directly to the World Cup... Two teams that would finish third in each group goes straight to the intercontinental Play off..

Lol that is nothing less than 30

jihday:
how do you know this? Just by looking at his face?

I'm not ranting about vandrezzer but the player invited he's way above 20 years

Philosopher1979:
I don't understand you.
Vandrezzar fc is one of the few privately owned clubs in the country with innovative ideas. They are like leventis United of old.
It's good the way nff is cooperating with them as they are set to change the face of Nigerian football.
One of their coaches is even in one of our youth teams.
This is a good development. You embrace progress when you see it

U20 ladies and gentlemen
Ladan Bosso has already started his madness
We are going backwards in our football

I never said she will be a star because she's wearing no10 jersey

yinkeys:
What’s her name
Anyone can wear the number

I thought FIFA banned the Abuja stadium

That flamingoes no10 is a future star , watch out for her

Any link?

Deltamani:
28' GOOOOAL! in Abuja|

Ajakaye breaks the deadlock as the Flamingos gain the lead at the Moshood Abiola Stadium

Nigeria �� 1:0 Egypt ��

South Africa u17 0-3 Ethiopia u17

Ethiopia will face nigeria or Egypt in the last round if they complete the job in second leg

For the national team she's a mildfieder Since Okobi has fallen off waldrum has prefer Ajibade over payne for the attacking midfielder role

BascoVanVeli:
I was talking about the national team.

Ayinde has been out for far too long , don't expect to get back 100% Ayinde u used to know she has probably lost a pace or 2 now

Schemerkhiz:
If am to go with this Line up, I will definitely sit out Christy Ucheibe for Halimatu Ayinde..

She has a position she's a striker , she's just versatile she can play anywhere in the front 3 and also a attacking midfielder

BascoVanVeli:
Okay but it still goes with my point that she didn't have a position.

In 2018 Ajibade didn't play in the wings , in the first game she started as an Attacking mildfielder and the Final she started as the striker

BascoVanVeli:
Ajibade basically didn't have a position on the team when u saw her in 2018. She was on the wings and that wasn't going to work. Deborah, Esther and Flourish play in positions that the team is actually lacking. Deborah actually got a call up already just that she had to return to the U20s. Esther and Flourish have pace to burn that can be used on the wings.

If we can throw a 19 year old Nnadozie in goal at the world cup, I believe these girls should be at least good for an invite during some friendlies. Let them at least train with the team and let the coach decide.

My dream line up in June

Go and watch the full match , even the stat you posted showed both teams with 5 shots on target and 2 goals each every other stats is bullshit and all those your if this if that is useless do you know how many times onumonu was a touch or few inches away to breakaway on counter and score ?

daveP:
I missed this game despite expecting it but naptu fp highlights is enough for me.



I see nothing much to praise the ladies for except this time, Surviving.


The foolish setpieces situation reoccurred once again. Canadian Corner/set piece and all the defenders were oblivious that 4red shirts were behind them all eventually.

As big as the Canadian team are in Women's Football, they also did this nonsense marking that led to our first goal despite having the better defenders. That should make anyone know by now that this zonal thing doesn't work.


My observation about Ebi stands. Its mostly her fault the equalizer she gifted them. A quick backpass to save herself would have sufficed. That was foolish from Nnadozie too. We don't need such mistakes on a grand stage. The 2nd equalizer had Ebi blocking Nnadozie the third time. Ebi did nothing defensively to me. Its like Her and Rita are just minus 2. Unimpressed!!


For the Canadian Chance at the 27th minute, 6 of our players were blocking the line of sight of Nnadozie, plus a red shirt,. Number 4 was left unnoticed by alll of our players in the box. If any ball came to her she was either going to volley a goal in, with the space she had or take a touch and choose an angle. Our Coach need work on this weak aspect. This Wafcon have better teams now o.


I liked the game Plumptre brought this time. She really covered for Payne. The coach needs tell Payne and Ucheibe to help each other when one is out of position. Uche should play something like what Xhaka does when Tierney goes attacking. That way, Plumptre has less work facing three red shirts.


Relevance of Rita Chikwelu to this team is enough to make an epistle. She has no pass, no accuracy in passes, no cover, no aerial prowess, no tackling or flair for shooting at goal, just merely existing because of what?? Ajibade was doing her job at many points in this game. If Ajibade doesn't get a better midfield partner, even if we get our tactics right vs a wC team, Any of such team that prepares to exploit Rita will beat us with more than 3goals. Where are the Rita Replacements?? Where are these young ladies?


See that sleek one-two the red shirts did and our defense were watching in awe rather than do something? That's the one two our attack needs. For now i doubt there is any chemistry with our attack. I think that's also why Ordega was near ghost in this game. No impact whatsoever.


For players that barely did much to put the team forward, our 5,6 were already fatigued before the final whistle. Smh. If we jam the Southies in wafcon, they may beat us with just these weaknesses. Sinclair was full of life all through.

Never should a 5woman defence be used again.


Players that look ready to me


Nnadozie
Ajibade
Onumonu
Payne

Catch up

Plumptre
Alozie
Ucheibe



Just there

Ordega
Kanu

Minuses

Ebi
Rita

How can we add this possession thing to our game? Its highly needed. At least to solve the fatigue/burn out these ladies have always. Ajibade also seem to be the one with an eye for a shot at goal. Like Ndidi, if she's injured, that's it. Its over!! Individual brilliance and Nigerian Teams!!

I know Regina is not available I'm just asking question

dkay51:
All these player you guys are mentioning shey u know they were not available for the match sha. The coach knows his team and once he has his full squad we can then assess them. We had only 3 forwards for these matches where we usually have 8-9 forwards in the full squad, even the formation was mostly to maximize the number of defender we had on ground.

In a tough game like this can't Regina otu and ucheibe play together ? Sitting deep and giving Ajibade more freedom to go forward

2 more friendlies against African teams and we will be ready for AWCON

Those 2 rats are only looking for attention to derail the thread

Is super falcons on the level of barca or spain ?

Bigzigg:
Are you seriously comparing those girls with the players you named above? Cool down, bro, the coach knows they have a very long way to go. At least, let them prove themselves at the U20 world cup.

If you are Good enough you are old enough , look at players like Fati , pedri and gavi for spain all these players should be playing u17 or u20 football when they made their debut for the senior team and since then they ave not looked back

In my opinion NFF should be planning how we can climb the FIFA ranking we are ranked 39 we should be playing team ranked from 25 to 15 if we can beat this teams we can move up in fifa ranking and get a favorable draw at the world cup

Flourish can be named in the provisional squad for AWCON and if she perform in training the coach can take her to the tournament

Bascovanveli3:
I was wrong I just heard the coach talk about it. My apologies to the gaffer on that

I like the way onumonu win those long balls even with 2 defenders on her she still managed to shield the ball well and bring others into play something Azeezat couldn't do against USA

She make some really good runs into the final third but her final always let her down

Schemerkhiz:
Nicole Payne...........I just love her Pace To and Fro, The future is bright, she's really Modeling her game after Lucy Bronze and Alexander Arnold...

Yeah ohale height would have helped us dealing with the set pieces

Schemerkhiz:
What are you saying??

How many of them are legitimately defenders??

Amanda Mbadi Midfielder, Ucheibe Midfielder give them credit please, if the likes of Ohale and other defenders were available this wouldn't have happened

The team is fatigued most of them only got to camp on matchday and we really have some nice shots on target to test their goalkeeper something we didnt manage to do against USA in my own opinion i will say the team has gotten better since the us series and they will be much better before the world cup

JohnBullMySon:
Canada's defence isn't too spectacular. A little more organization might have seen a goal.

Not a bad performance especially in the first

I'm searching when i see one i will share it

lovewins:
Thanks for sharing. Any link for the second half?

I found the First half here

NFF are not even sure the game will be streamed yet they post a stupid link on their verified page to mislead people
