China, Germany, Spain in same group. If luck wants us out in first round, then we end in group B.

PDPGuy:
Both highly technical teams.

Its looking like the easiest group for Nigeria is D, E or F

We dont want to be in group B at all. No chance there.

Draw live now on facebook page of Fifa women world cup.

PDPGuy:
Final confirmation of the pots for tomorrow’s World Cup draw, which starts at 6pm Nigerian time.

We sure are the top team in pot 4. We should be able to get good friendlies with teams in each pot.

Danielnino00:
I saw a report somewhere that they would be hosted by the president today (or tomorrow) ..But Pinnick has promised that their world cup camp will open in January

If camp opens in January, then that would be the bestest ever thing to happen to the falcons. It looks like Presidency was on hand to receive them. I am quite happy that the SSG was at the airport waiting for the team. That is big!

No news on the girls after winning the trophy last week. Am guessing they're lodged in one hotel in Abuja waiting for presidential reward.

Ifiokumo:
So basically Easterners/and the supposedly South-south won...

Sorry we don't do tribalism here.

BascoVanVeli:
My advice is that they all get personal trainers. They are nowhere fit enough for the world cup

True!
Except they start preparations very early for the world cup, the fitness issue will be thoroughly exposed.

PDPGuy:
This should be our best possible draw lol

Heck,we could top that group even.

I just went through records of under 16 and under 20 competitions. I am wondering, why did the coach favour Ajibade over Chinwendu Ihezuo and Chinaza Uchendu? They are roughly the same age bracket, so the excuse of introducing young stars do not really hold. Chinwendu clearly was the star in 2014 under 16 and 2016 under 20 where the two featured. In these same tournaments, Chinaza Uchendu also scored more goals than Rashidat. Further, at the Wafu Championship, Chinaza tied with Rashidat but her goals were more strategic. Rashidat scored a hat-trick.,

Maybe he feels the other two have more confidence than Rashidat or there are other qualities he sees that we do not see

It all comes down to not knowing the team and the terrain.
The first team is too comfortable. Oparanozie, Oshoala and Ordega should be threatened. Let's give opportunity to players who can challenge them. Chinasa Uchendu for example, is well ahead of Anam Imo.

Well, it should be exciting to fight for world cup places. Many many good players to be invited. I think this AWCON has exposed areas that need urgent attention. Osas Igbinovia has to come in for Rita Chikwelu.
Our ever dependable wing back has to be brought back, and I believe the former captain also needs to be brought back.
Attackers like Courtney Dike should be brought back to compete for places. Uchechi Sunday also needs to go to France.

Preparation is key and from what I saw, the girls need at least 2 months INTENSIVE camping to reach a fitness level needed for world cup. Even after that, they then need another 3 weeks or so for technical and tactical trainings. For now, we need to start playing friendly matches.

Congratulations my people. The team had just 3 week training.The team has a very good defence, and potentially deadly attack. Happy for Ihezuo and Uchendu coming through at the end.
Now lets organise grade A friendlies. I wish we play Thailand, Sweden, Korea, and Italy. Specifically chosen because they play different games.

isan:
he called about half of the U20 squad to camp trying to inject young players into the team but time time was not on his side he had to settled with An am IMO ,Ajibade and Nnadozie

The last 2 sets of U20 should come before this set in my opinion. They are not bad, in face, most are better than this set.

Vdsc:
In the next five years, I expect South Africa to overtake just like they dominate other Olympic sports.

Even female football that we are managing, the South Africans will take it over too.
Unlike their male teams, their female team is actually talented.
National mismanagement is evident everywhere.
It is no wonder why the most developed nations are the nations with the highest number of Olympic medals.

If Nigeria sports management was working properly, our female football should be at par with the rest of the world given how many world cups we have attended.

But Nigeria takes one step forward, three steps backward.

You know things that dont actually require big efforts, but people are hell bent on making money from it. Super falcons are actually very marketable. The players should be getting endorsements rather than say Big brother housemates.
For someone like me, Super Falcons are my favourite team and I plan to even follow them to France.

Highly insightful posts. Amaju Pinnick is not NFF president, but Super Eagles manager. He is axing and choping other teams while using Super Eagles for cosmetics.
Many many countries want to play super falcons, but unless Pinnick will make money from it, he wont sanction it.

BascoVanVeli:
Bring back Florence

Looking at this analytically, I will love to have Florence back, but she needs to upgrade the team's defensive play. Dennerby is not as good as Omagbemi. However, NFF will respect Dennerby more due to his skin colour.
I feel it will take Dennerby at least 5 or 6 friendly matches to really know his players. For now, he only trusts about 16 players and keeps repeating them. When he knows the team, he could help us, but we dont expect attacking football. His is to soak up pressure and win by a goal.

NA say they lost 23 men. Twitter journalists say it is over 100. BHT video shows about 10 soldiers dead or killed.

Moral of the story- In this season of politics, unofficial sources are invested in casualty figures and should bedisregarded.

isan:
Ajibade and Anam imo they are young players they are going to improve I'm sure ajibade is going to the world cup the coach trust her





I expect Courtney dike and umotong to be called for the world cup also

In terms of readiness for super falcons, then Anam Imo is not reaady. She's 4 years ahead of time. Ihezuo is the natural replacement for Oparanozie. Hopefully, they play up to 4 friendlies so the coach can know the team more.

isan:
I don't think ajibade is the problem we were outplayed from the first minute to the last the team played too deep oshoala spent more time in our half

Oshoala actually played more as a wing back than a striker. The coach was just happy to sit back and absorb pressure for 90 minutes. It seems we should get used to this type of game from the Swede.

Buhari today is on his way to Maiduguri. Since the attack NAF has bombarded Boko Haram so bad.
Afenifepolitics are not serious. Odumakin is a known Pdp beneficiary and should not be taken serious

BascoVanVeli:
Our coach tried so hard lose that match. Subbing Ordega who is our woman of the tournament and leaving a half fit Oparanozie on the pitch. I am starting to think Chikwelu and the coach have something going on because this is just ridiculous

I forgive the coach because he doesnt know his players well yet. He has Ihezuo on the bench but prefers Anam Imo who offers practically nothing. All his subs were off today.
They say good strikers win you matches, but good defenders win you tournaments. We may win this cup simply because we have solid experienced defenders.

We break Cameroonian hearts again. They must think its some form of juju.

Now South Africa is ready to carry the cup, because this Falcons are not ready to attack.

Dedetwo:
There is no room for a mediocrity.

I know for sure Omidiji will not play a competitive match for the falcons. She's good, but not as good as what we have now.

Mizwisdom:
Someone should please help with a link to watch U-17 world cup, what stage is Ghana now? Also Falcons against Cameroon match, how can one watch it online, I don't feel our girls are strong enough to handle them though

Ghana U17 are out. There are linksto watch our girls. The links usually come around 15 minutes before kick off

isaiah9:
So this is the same Ghana u17 some persons here said would beat the super falcons.

They wont beat our U17.

krattoss:
I heard the mi35 and some f7s bombarded bht elements even on chadian airspace aftermath of the matele attack.
. How true is this.. Bidexiii

The source is a government source. I believe our airforce invaded Chadian airspace, and I hope they continue to do that when pursuing BHTs. Chad had to chose a side now. We cant continue to sacrifice men for these French proxies.

bidexiii:
@Ola discuss one deep gan.....!

The Chadians are not to be trusted.

The voice of Jacob, and hand of Esau. The ambush was deadly, and very unusual. By now, every commander on the frontline knows that BHT can wear army uniforms. What I believe happened was that the unit was contacted by what they thought was MNJTF and fell right into the ambush set.

Reminds me of how Bin Laden was being fed with intel from the Pakistani Intelligence for years. It also makes sense that as we push BHTs back from the Lake Chad region, the Chadians either allow them in, or help push back against Nigeria.

.....Meanwhile, indications have also emerged that most of the Boko Haram commanders and their foot soldiers who attacked the military base were none-Nigerians. Another intelligence officer told PRNigeria in confidence that the attackers were speaking Arabic, French and some foreign languages. The officer said: “Some of our soldiers who escaped after the rescue operation told us that the attackers dressed in military camouflage similar to the one wore by member countries of Multi-National Joint Task Force (MNJTF). We learned that the attackers were not Nigerians as they spoke in Arabic, French and other strange languages when they first appeared like friendly force before they started to shoot at Nigerian troops. “There is heighten suspicion that the deadliest attacks could not have taken place without collaborators probably within the military camp or the host community who could have been communicating with the terrorists before and after they stormed the locations. “The military may likely engage in a tactical maneuver for forceful reinforcements of ground troops and air components in the affected areas in view of new developments

Chadian Intelligence is hand-in-hand with BHT. The hand writing is clear.

Perpetua Nkwocha

How many goals

She knows what she's talking about. Probably she's from the snake cult.

We're peaking in time for Semi finals. I'm happy to play Cameroon at this point.
