Morocco yet to score in open play. Few free kicks and VAR penalties. Nothing spectacular about them actually. 5 Likes |

daveP: The whole SA is praying for Nigeria not to get to the final. Our team is actually building a momentum and if we go to the final, it will be hard to stop us. Cameroon is not as strong as 2016 or 2018. Neither are we, solely based on the tactical lag with this coach. I still believe the coach is doing ok, he's learning and I hope he sticks with Ucheibe against Chikwelu. That midfield is key tomorrow. 4 Likes |

Looking forward to quarter final already. We might play Cameroon and that should be easier. Meanwhile we might see a 6 goal or more pasting of Burundi. 3 Likes |

lovewins: Actually, for all the growth SA is boasting of, they're still way behind in terms of talents we have for our super falcons team. We have super players waiting in the wings to replace these aged players stinking the place. That's why I preferred the abroad ones. In 4 years, our central defence will be Ashley and Demehin. We continue to produce great U17s and U20s and that is our strength. When we refuse to use these players and only use 35 year old immobile Rita as a DM against a fast moving team like SA, we only have ourselves to blame. 4 Likes |

Based on Ashley and Alozie's performances, we should be recruiting more abroad players. They are more intelligent. If we play SA again, I'll go proper 442 with a different DM pair.. Regina Otu and Ucheibe. Very mobile. SA didn't really do anything serious till the crazy 2 minutes when they scored 2 goals. My issue is that Falcons were totally ineffective as an attacking team. Oshoala was stinking the place up and only Ajibade was trying. And Chikwelu as DM was just chasing shadows playing further upfront. 2 Likes |

Actually we did contain South Africa for a long time and we did it well. But that was all. We didn't have an attacking outlet. Oshoala was piss poor. Ajibade tried so much to make things happen. Toni Payne was ineffective in the system too. We should play 442 going forward. 3 Likes |

Positives 1. Chikwelu exposed. Let's see if the coach is senseless again to start her next match. 2. Keeper is going to change. This one doesn't give any confidence. 3. We have better players on the bench, as is shown when the subs came in. 4. Oshoala is out. As bad as this looks, Oshoala is actually not helping this team. She takes away many team plays and ruins them. Her asset is speed, but not much after that. 5. Michelle Alozie is a baller! 6. Coming 2nd in the group is actually better as it puts us on the easier path to final. Next match will be much easier. Our next tough game might be in the semi final. 8 Likes |

70 minutes later, Coach tries something different. |

The better side is winning. Chikwelu and Ayinde absent while Oshoala was doing bigmanism. |

Even a blind person can see this from afar. |
Sports / Re: Nigeria Female National Teams' Thread by olapluto(m): 6:59pm On Jul 04, 2022 |
Chikwelu was never going to make any impact against a top team. She's not a DM, she's not helping the attack too. A goal to SA will expose us so bad. Just remove Chikwelu and put Okobi to force issues. |
Sports / Re: Nigeria Female National Teams' Thread by olapluto(m): 5:00pm On Jul 04, 2022 |
Randy's starting 11 is very boring and the midfield will be terribly exposed with Chikwelu. Except Ajibade drops to play as a 10, we may be chasing shadows while SA run rings round our midfield with speed. |
Sports / Re: Nigeria Female National Teams' Thread by olapluto(m): 1:05pm On Jul 03, 2022 |
Rumours going around that Francisca Ordega is ineligible due to high testosterone levels. Same so Barbara Banda and 8 others. There's a list going round. If that's the case, CAF is overdoing it. |

Schemerkhiz: SA lost to Zambia 3-0 with the barely mobile central defence they have. This is probably the best prepared Super falcons team in a long time. Played almost 10 top grade games this year. At least the coach picked a good blend too. If they stay injury free, it will be hard to beat them. 2 Likes |

Schemerkhiz:I thought Solgado is injured and not going to Morocco. I like this Nigerian team very much for the nice blend of youth and experience. Will you go with 442 or 352 considering that SA will target our full backs or try to draw Onome or Ohale out? I'll like to have Ayinde start as the holding DM. |

South Africa hasn't greatly improved. They aren't going to surprise anyone anymore. Their gameplay is same. Quick, counter attack to play to Kgatlana. Rafilo Jane as an outlet and Mothlalo as the midfield vision. Dennerby tactically shut them down in the last Awcon final. Kgatlana didn't see any ball after the first 20 minutes. In the Aisha Buhari cup, they had Solgado as a 9 to assist Kgatlana and that worked by stretching Onome Ebi. With Ohale coming in, we should tame Kgatlana since there's no Solgado in the team this time. Our strength will be a solid, balanced team. Our weakness is the right and left back positions. Oshoala finding her scoring book is also key. If we play a solid 442 or even 352, we will best them very well. Game changer will be the link between midfield and attack for us. We can use Ajibade there and deploy Toni Payne on the flank. |
