BascoVanVeli:
Then why are u jumping to say she's not top 4, like it was an outrageous thing to say? U are the same guy that argued CC being the best guard in the league 2 seasons ago. Without any notable achievement!

Welll, I’m justified

PDPGuy:
She’s among the top 4 players in the world right now 😮‍💨😮‍💨

Basically, anyone that scores 30pts has automatically catapulted above A'ja, Phee, Kelsey Mitchell, Breanna Stewart, Jackie Young, Alisha Gray and the likes?

Pls, she's not even the best player on her own team. All-timer performance though

BascoVanVeli:
Lol Amaju didn't call him that. They asked him about his dream style of play and he said "u know Guadiola?"

I still have that video. Kills me everytime I see it 😹😹😹😹

Would be nice to know where the opportunities are for elect elect

gomol:
JM should not be used as a scapegoat.
Since we are not going to the world cup we can now focus on the people and organisation working day and night to kill football in Nigeria.

He’s the face of this failure of an administration, idc if he’s the scapegoat or not. He’s clearly not fit for purpose, you want him to be covered in glory or what? After this shambolic displays?

Spainever:
Congratulations to the Nigerian coach for giving SA the ticket . Nigerian football no dey pain me again . They qualify 😀 or not it is for themselves. Super eagles didn't qualify back to back , heaven no fall.The coach playing Ortega keeping Tony payne and Ucheibe on bench , shows how horrible the coach is

Pls don’t say so, you’re hating on the super falcons and one of the best tacticians in Africa. Remember he won the last WAFCON

WarHammer2000:
Madugu seems to have read the game well. Sit back in defence and South Africa runs out of ideas. Then hit them on the counter.

If this works, I would have to say he is a better tactician than many people here think.

Sha no delete

See how you implanted tribalism into the conversation. Nobody—not even the Madu supporters or protesters—have mentioned tribe in any discussion. Make your argument but don’t even try to incite any tribal wars here. Tribalism ko nepotism ni

forgiveness:
I just watched the match between Nigeria and Cameroun but I didn't see wy people are blaming the coach. Na coach tell that goalkeeper to stand flat footed before the ball was kicked? The girl lost concentration and was caught flat footed. Gosh! And some of you have the temerity to blame coach?

Na Coach tell Monday to dey miss chance? Abi na coach tell Kanu not to be clinical in front of goal? Na coach tell Okoronkwo not to give simple pass instead of playing hero?

Abi, do you have players better than this aforementioned players? The game plan was good but the Strikers messed up. They squandered more than 4 goals.

Coach wey get Ballon'dOr nomination, na em you say no good?

Okay. recommend a better coach instead of making noise here. Abi, you don't just like him because he is from the North? Tribalism don wound some people here sha.

Maybe, we should channel the blame on NFF who didn't prepare for the tournament.

Moreover, the U20 team were tactically suppressed by the Burkinas. When I watched that team, I was just impressed with the boy on the left midfield.

Muiz and that lanky Ade no impress me at all because they don't know how to position, create space themselves and hold on play to bring players into the game. Though that Muiz is good when he runs with the ball and also at scoring goals but he needs to improve. Not impressed at all.

I hope they improve themselves.

However, when it comes to U20, to compete at the highest level like their counterpart, our players needs to play in a good professional league. Don't be fooled if you are expecting them to do well with our poor league.

CornOak:
Not defending Madugu, but if Esther had scored that 1V1 in the last minute and Nigeria went on to turn the game around with a win, no one would have come for his head.

Yesterday, we all agreed that he got his lineup and even the subs spot-on, while expecting the ladies to finish the job.

By now, you should know that if Nigerians don't like you, there's nothing you can do to please them. Some posters on this thread were waiting for that loss, so they can affirm their "I told you so" statement.

Regardless, NIGERIA SPORTS need a total OVERHAUL.

If my dad was Dangote too I will prolly be a millionaire by now in dollars.

He shat the bed means he shat the bed. No need for whataboutism. The buck will always fall on the coach

lovewins:
So na grassroot be problem now. Ok.

It’s giving emilokan tactics. Hail someone as the savior/best option and then when he fails, direct blame to someone or something else

GMBOFASIA:
The same professional that beat Australia at the wc?

E dey call grassroots for international players. A lot of them who have played years at the top clubs or even have being educated on football since their youth abroad

isan:
Nigeria problem is from the grassroot....you don't expect a national team coach to start teaching professional how to complete a five yards pass or how to control a ball

I’ve seen how you wear Ohale’s jersey anytime Madu’s name is called on this thread. And sometimes justly. So one thing we’re not going to do is try to absolve him of any blame here especially when it comes to that.

It’s not the coaches job to teach them how to complete a 5 yard pass but it’s his job to tactically immerse the girls on when and when not to make certain types of passes. If you see them hoofing balls instead of making simple passes to each other, that was the plan. His plan.


So that talk about grassroots no gel at all. Which of those players on the pitch today don’t play in a top international club? Now would they play in those top clubs if they can’t make simple passes? You think Abiodun or JOE or Rash or Christy play gung-ho football in their respective clubs? Abeg abeg

Grassroots una. Better off that defenders jersey and face your coach this time

Justice505:
Because she is a beautiful woman, that's how Nigerians are, A coach that won the wafcon and is on the way to win the second one is who you want the NFF to discard because he is not playing beautiful football, you want the NFF to repeat the same mistake they did with the male team during the time Rohr.

On the way to what?? Come outside joor!

yinkeys:
Can we give Madugu a chance
Waldrum didn’t even perform in his 1st WAFCON
Madugu brought home gold

How many more chances does he need now?

olapluto:
Cameroon vs Nigeria. Old classic,new faces. Madugu will thrive here.
Straight up physical battle. 1 goal nicks it.

0/10! Come outside!

Is there a link we can watch from? I don’t have DSTV

All these paragraphs cus of one loss? Ewo

Where was this epistle when they won last title? I’m not saying you’re wholly wrong but this feels very reactionary. Wait till they crash out at the group stage before you drop this banger

NasirIbnLaAhad:
If we're honest with ourselves, this is exactly what Nigerian football needs right now. Y'all don't want to hear this but this has nothing to do with Malawi. This is about the rot that sits above the pitch. The administrators. The politics. The endless cycle of underfunding and overpromising that has followed the Super Falcons even as they've somehow kept winning trophies despite the system, not because of it. Ten WAFCON titles won on the backs of players who train without pay, camp without proper facilities, and qualify for tournaments the federation barely bothers to prepare them for.

So yes, I want this loss badly. I need us to crash out of the group stages if that's what it takes. Because a Falcons side that wins yet again, papering over years of neglect with talent and grit alone, hands Gusau exactly what he needs walking into the NFF elections: a trophy to point to, a "see, everything is fine" argument, a shield against any real scrutiny of how this federation is run. Every Falcons triumph becomes his talking point, even when he had almost nothing to do with it.

A humiliating exit changes that math entirely. It will strip away that cover. There will be no more championship banner to hide behind. No more "defending champions" headline to deflect the hard questions. Nigerian football needs to hit the floor, publicly and undeniably, until there are only two paths left standing >>>

(1) Scrap the Nigerian football programme altogether, or
(2) finally take the bull by the horns and rebuild it properly, with real investment, real structure, and real accountability. From the men's team, to the women's team, to the age grade, from U-23 to U-13.

Another trophy managed by mediocrity just buys the status quo another four years. As long as NFF continues to take our football for granted, the Super Falcons and Super Eagles must fail. Because sometimes the bottom is the only place from which anything actually changes.

Greatest my ass

Unfortunately for you, facts don’t care about your feelings or ass, no matter how big it is

What is the greatest African female footballer doing in the squad? Hmmm what a question

Respectfully though, that question walked into the room, tripped over common sense, and still asked for directions.

do4luv14:
No bring that narrative abeg, what is her use to the team, if AkinOS ahbi what's the Monika again can question Ordega use in the team let's be fair and question what's Asisat own is,


Imagine Akin0S using the last AFCON and the lone game Ordega played as inconsequential, to discredit her use to the team, even after I pointed out the She was lumping to draw his attention to the fact that she gets injured during the first game


What was his response again

steady986:
Can you win with a small guard as your best player?

Na this finals we go take answer that question

Haven’t curry and IT proved that already?

Kaczynski:
50k

How do I contact you?

isan:
This is a product of the NWPFL ...... I'm not seeing anyone praising the league for producing oladapo

Don’t wait for someone to do it. You too, praise the league

Schemerkhiz:
Sounding as if she went back to D2 on purpose, if you know the story you won’t sound this way…

If you don’t want us to assume based on what we saw, then tell us the story sir

I have a ThinkPad T480. The keyboard and battery are faulty. I need an estimate of the price to fix it

Thanks

SmooshCHN:
Ask me this question again.

I’m asking again

Honlucas:
Is this 2yrs ago?
Alot have changed since

Yeah everyone said the same thing before they won it and now that it’s been debunked, you’re still refusing to let go. Goodluck

Honlucas:
Celtics can never win NBA If they continue like this.
3's won't give u championship.

If 3's not working in their game, they will love.
Attempting 3s Asif their lives depend on it.

Even if they beat Knicks it doesn't change anything.
Go to the rim

They literally won it 2 years ago. Wys?
