You'll know that the thread is about female football if you read the title. If you then go on and click on the thread, then it means that you are interested in female football.

If you click on the thread and read its contents, then you should leave if you are not interested in female football.

It makes no sense for you to know what the thread is about and then you go on and dictate that such threads must not be created. You are not the dictator of the world and people have the right to like things that you do not like.

cr7lomo:
Stop deceiving urself with deluded naptu ... all female football stories he posted dint even pass page 1... simply shows people are not interested, so pls let naptu stop disturbing us with nonsense topics

I will not stop disturbing you and there's nothing you can do about it

Oya, respond again and grow the thread. Quick, quick!

You see, I was right. It's got nothing to do with female football. It's simply a failed attempt to provoke me.

You've got to work harder.

Usmanovic95:
When she comot FCB?

End of January this year.

yummy001:
Please always speak for yourself brother. Everything in life has its fans no matter how few. That is why it is called choice. I don't click on more than 50% of the topics gracing the front page of Nairaland.

The reason is simple. I am not interested in them neither am I curious about them.

And mind you, it is not only interest that makes one engages a topic on the front page like you just did to this particular one you claimed you have no interest in. Curiosity plays a huge part even more than interest..

One of the things life has taught me is that, if you want to know the real personality of people, observe what they really do(deeds) instead of what they say(mere talks).

The real people who have no interest whatsoever in the subject matter would never have clicked on it let alone leaving a comment.

naptu2, please keep up the great work sir. You are really doing well.

Thank you

dominique:
But why take the match all the way to Morocco? Does Ethoipia not have facilities to host foreign opponents? Even at that, Morocco is a tad too far from Ethiopia, why not use neighbouring Sudan or Kenya?

The competition is being held in a tournament format, like the African Cup of Nations. All the matches are being held in Morocco.

Shedrack777:
Is their first game now so it's not a big thing

First game??

Bwilliam:
Commenting on a thread about female football doesn't increase their viewership, thus they can't negotiate an increase of salary that is already being subsidized by money gotten from the Male football league.

I'd rather watch female volleyball players than female footballers.

🤣🤣🤣

This one didn't even understand the post he was responding to.

Anyway, no one cares what you will rather do. What's important is what you have actually done.

If you were not interested in female football, then you could have completely ignored the thread and if enough people ignore the thread, then it will die.

But you are helping me to increase the view and post count and pages of the thread. Isn't that wonderful?

Please continue, maybe you can get it to page 2.

cr7lomo:
No one is interested in female football....stop forcing it down our throat

Thank you for being interested in female football and taking the time to comment on threads about female football, thereby increasing the post and view count and number of pages.

It's an observer mission. Very many elections observers come to observe Nigerian elections, just as INEC also goes to observe elections in other countries.

Onumonu’s Brilliant Brace Not Enough As Montpellier Falls To Paris FC.

In a thrilling Division 1 Féminine clash, Super Falcons’ forward Ifeoma Onumonu scored twice for Montpellier HSC Féminines, but her efforts were ultimately overshadowed by a 4-2 defeat to Chiamaka Nnadozie’s Paris FC on Saturday night.

Onumonu’s goals marked her third of the season and second consecutive match with a goal, building momentum in France’s top women’s league. Her previous goal helped Montpellier rout Guingamp 7-0.

Montpellier’s hopes were reignited when Onumonu struck again in the 58th minute, showcasing her composure and clinical finishing. Her second goal brought Montpellier level at 2-2, momentarily silencing the home crowd.

However, Paris FC’s resilience shone through in the closing stages. Kessya Bussy completed her brace in the 72nd minute, restoring their lead. As Montpellier pushed forward in search of another equalizer, gaps emerged in their defense, allowing Mathilde Bourdieu to seal the win with a late fourth goal for Paris FC.

Despite the defeat, Onumonu’s performance remains a bright spot for Montpellier. Her growing confidence and form signal her importance as a key attacking threat. With three goals in her last two games, she’s proving to be a vital asset as Montpellier navigates a challenging Division 1 Féminine season.

Meanwhile, Paris FC continues their strong campaign, solidifying their position in the league’s upper echelons, with Nnadozie’s presence in goal and Bussy’s attacking prowess steering them to victory.
