So unfortunate our girls have nothing to offer
Seem our girls have platooned
No ball holder no skillful player no tactical formation
It's over welcome home girls

If this is anything to go by; our XI vs Burundi
4-3-3 formation
Looking forward to seeing what Chukwueze will do today.

An European country is playing an African opposition and you put an European in charge of VAR.
Seriously!!

OMANBALA1:
Etebor is not a better 10 but he is a workhorse. I mean, Iwobi couldn't play against Europeans and now you think he can play the ever physical African team.

Additionally, Etebor was our best dribbler in the world...So, yes , he can dribble and run with the ball.

TheGoodJoe:
On the money. Game intelligence. Not individual brilliance. That Villareal goal shows tactical insight in the players. These kind of players are the platforms for coaching magic. Not solo skills.

Earthquake3:
They need to get two yellows before they overtake our disclipinary record

And the coach has told them not to conceed any yellows

Sainty92:
Cameron just picked a 6th yellow card against our 7(2yellows for the red).
Let's pray they get another card b4 the end of the game to tie with them. Ahhh, falcons just turn person to wizard... hmm

Earthquake3:
We have the same record as them

But our disclipinary record is worse

Icon4s:

Nigeria cannot be a constant because we are part of the variables in the eqaution.

Nigeria has been differentiated already with respect to France and Argentina differented with respect to Scotland.

Now the next variables to be differented are DCameroon/DNewzealand and DThailand/DChile.

At the end of the first order differentians the top 2 two variables differented will join 2 other previously differented variables as part of the 4 best variables.

QED.

Icon4s:
U know each time I see these our U15 teams I always have the feeling that a proper selection process was not done.

That's why when it comes to the U17 only few of those previous U15 players progress through because a good number of quality players were left out during the U15.

A few connected academies are just benefitting from these U15 programs.

tbaba1234:
It is ridiculous that Solanke starts ahead of Tammy and calvert-lewin in the under 21. He barely played all season.

forgiveness:
France female team can flog NPFL teams.

As you bring am out na, na wahala ooo

Icon4s:
If you have known me long on this thread, u will know I will not see a weakness in the team and keep mute.

Just a couple of days ago I was pointing out our bluntness in the central attacking position. The same Joebie who u quoted to take a jab at me said I have written off the entire team. Same person that has gone back to attack Rohr and the team again.

If there is any one that needs to have a balanced view of the team it is u the pessimists.

I see both the strength and weaknesses of the team and I point them out when I need to. But there are people here that all they do is predict doom. Not just for the SE but for all our national teams.

You can continue to write off the team if you want but please stop coming to take a jab at Icon4s any time any Nigerian team loses. Look for elsewhere to channel your disappointment to.
