Oluwatosin Demehin starts for Stade de Reims Femenine

Sharp sharp. I wish her all the best. Her place in the falcon's squad is almost guaranteed.

codemaniacs:
It's football not war...

the game can be won and lost in the 1st half...

Flamingoes were leading and only had one player defending... luckily for the Flamingoes, New Zealand's didn't score...

there should be at least 2 players at the back when its 0 - 0 or 3 - 4 players when Flamingoes are leading...

Flamingoes didn't have a defense line and don't know how to "pack the bus"...

If they had defended or "packed the bus" with 9 players ( changing to 6-3-1 ) against Germany then they would have won or at worst drawn the match...

and this means Flamingoes have no counter-attacking pattern or style because if they are leading then they should switch to counter attacking game...

If Super Falcons had packed the bus against Morocco when they leading then Super Falcons would have gotten to the AWCON final...

Its now obvious to me that Nigerian coaches and foreign coaches they hired don't know how to defend and switch formations during a match to favor the team...

1. The war part was an idiomatic expression.

2. A game can be won or lost at full time not half time.

3. Flamingo was on the front foot throughout so why should they defend? BTW the best form of defend is attack.

4. The fact that you park the bus doesn't guarantee that your opponent won't score.

5. They lost to Germany partly because of missed chances and poor officiating.

6. The coach's tactic was working throughout so why should he changed it?

Sarcasm... sarcasm...nawa o

BTW I thought we've gone pass all these age brouhaha

Oh my....

PDPGuy:
I like the fact that the Flamingoes went for a short-passing game today. I believe this change from the long-ball strategy vs Germany, enabled the team to create more scoring chances and kept the New Zealanders chasing shadows for most of the match.

We will need more of the same on Monday vs Chile.

Yea... I like the short passes too. Bello(#7) coming in made it even more efficient.

codemaniacs:
It's as if they want to twerk...

That doesn't look like a twerk na abi?
Moreso, many female players do something more extreme during celebration. Go search for Alisha Lehman. Her celebration ehn.

BTW, I think we should be more concerned about the bigger picture (winning matches) than ordinary celebration.

45 minutes gone and Morocco couldn't score a single goal against India?

lovewins:
Germany 3 Chile 0

And it's just first half.

I guess Chile shouldn't be much of a challenge for us then.

Chile beat Newzealand though so it is not that straight forward.

lovewins:
You'll notice my concern is when we play a more technical team. We were always going to beat new Zealand. For God's sake I'm not sure they had one shot in target. Even though they had they height advantage, they allowed us context for the aerial duels. If you compare with Germany, you'll notice Germany won almost all of them (including long throws). So moving forward, I'll prefer they try short throws keeping possession than long throws and lose to a more technical side.

well...I understand you but what if they lose the ball while keeping it short. It could go either way bro.
I'm just more concerned about their missed chances

germaphobe:
i think we started that game with a three man defense, then switched to back four when the pressure started getting much in the second half. i was kinda confuse seeing viera drop so so deep making him close to highly insignificant in the first half. and personally i think lokonga wasn't that bad yesterday too, he was just left alone to do the physical aspect of the midfield game(which he is not even suited to). who else noticed odegard haven't been at his best since he came back from injury, yes he has been trying but he's yet to give that vibe that i know him for. marquinhos, well he looks better in possession but his indecisiveness needs to be addressed. tuner was magnificient in goal, super alert in face of danger.

I think Odegaard's role has changed a bit. He is no more in the mix of things. He is now playing similar role to Xhaka just that his output goal-wise has been poor.

iamoyindamola:
Especially odegaard even the lfc match he should have win it
He will be kicking ball like he's caressing it

Bro...come see how I shouted last Sunday at the viewing centre. That shot still dey vex me now.

Samueltemi337:
Bordeaux is in Ligue 2 now

at least he would be playing or make the bench.

Fkhalifa:
And Odegard

Odegaard may not be physical but he is tenacious and energetic. Sambi sometimes play as if he is on the street playing 'monkey' post. Don't get me wrong but his body language ehn...

codemaniacs:
that last image they need to stop that celebration and celebrate in a better way..

why if I may ask

codemaniacs:
it's called sentiment and bias...

If the players the coach is sentimental towards don't deliver then they shouldn't be in the starting 11 or they should be subbed off at the 50th mins or before 55 minutes....

It is not sentiment. You don't go to a war with your full armoury. And at times, you need to have plan B. Aside the missed chances today, everybody did their job well.

hatakekakashi:
Especially that Ajakaye, pace merchant. But she has potential.

She needs to be more clinical. She could have gotten a hattrick today.

lovewins:
Congratulations to the Flamingoes. They had a good game against a team they are relatively better than.

My concern really is they wouldn't have this luxury if they play a more composed and technical team.

1. They need to work on converting their chances. They had well over 30 shots on goal, many would have gone in had they been more clinical.

2. The coach needs to make use of his subs for God's sake when we had the game in th bag, players like Ajakaye and Adeshina amongst others shouldn't have remained in th game. It was an opportunity for him to give game time to their potential replacements, yet he kept them there. Adeshina particularly missed too many chances, I'll like to see what her replacement brings to the table.

3. Is there a rule against short throws? The girls made long thow-ins the entire game (they did same against Germany) and they gave away advantage for the most part. Why not make short throws and keep possession?

Well said but permit me to disagree a bit with the third point. The long throw gave us the first goal and carved open, some chances too. If it is working well for them, let them continue. From what I saw today, it is what they've been working on in training.

Samueltemi337:
Now he is chilling with the bench

He should go back to Netherland in January

Na Kalu I pity most...he for kukuma stay put in Ligue 1. Now, he rarely make bench sef

Which kaim team be this?

Score the hardest goals and lose the easiest chances.

Did that number 8 just shouted hallelujah

maidaboi:
10 goals if not for miss chances

thank you. I was even trying to be modest.

do4luv14:
Chaiii, And that was why Germany Beats us

Probably

Make una free Messi abeg. He was not the one who made Barcelona drop to UEL.

Messi is anything but controversial so his 'like' is just a normal something.

Make una channel in frustration towards xavi

Fkhalifa:

The mental strength is there, These crop of players are different from what Arsenal used to have...

Arsenal have a striker who presses from the front, drop deep, to the flanks, create chances and scores, quite different from Mr waiting for tap in and Mr hardwork little result.

Btw, you can't tell me Saliba, Gabriel,White, Xhaka and Partey are not physical, Also Jesus,Martinelli,Saka and Zincheko are not slouchy on the pitch.

the only soft player currently in arsenal is Lokonga.

iamoyindamola:
No it was 3 man defense i saw and read on paper
Even blueraydick confirmed this

It is four bro...

charlesemeka85:
even the maduka na Obote

I no knw say all wey em be Dey do for Dutch league na Charlie boy show

He suppose jejely stay put for Netherland but baba wan chill with the boys.

These girls should be 5 goals up by now at least... Against a better team, they'll pay for it.

We should be at least 5 goals up by now.
WTF is wrong with these girls? Losing chances anyhow

iamoyindamola:
Oh i forgot to include there was no formation yesterday
Before the match nelson was suppose to be a fb with tierney but during the match nelson and tierney played same position on the left
Another is viera, hewas lost in the game because he doesn't know his postion
Even white was playing rb instead of rcb
Why is lonkonga own different?

we used 4231 yesterday bro... Nelson played as LW and Tierney at LB

charlesemeka85:
not at all but his performance in the game won’t earn him a move to league 2

ok

AndSunGorilla:
