It looks like FIFA would implement “autonomous offside technology for the 2022 World Cup

UEFA (and other confederations) should scrap extra time and go straight to penalties if both teams are deadlocked after 180 mins of action…
However extra time should be retained for the final

I don't think she has played for the US team in an official game...Or what rule add you reffering to?
I was referring to this doc.

Anyway, I’ve checked her profile and she played in the 2020 FIBA pre-Olympic qualifying tournament ..

What is Emeka Okafor doing on the list? He is too old for the Squad. Some of the names I am seeing here make me laugh. It is almost a month to dunk off time shocked shocked shocked shocked shocked at the Olympics, please. Coach Brown should narrow his list to the best players in this list. Cheers.
My thoughts too. At this stage of preparations, the provisional rooster should be down to, say, 24/25 players. 49 is just too many players fighting for a spot with about 4.5 weeks left

Sports › 2020 Olympics: Domestic Fans To Be Allowed Into Games Venues by PDPGuy(op): 6:23pm On Jun 21, 2021
The Summer Olympics in Tokyo will include up to 10,000 Japanese spectators at each event, organizers said, despite advice by leading doctors that the Games would be safer without crowds.

Monday’s decision clears up the final major uncertainty about the Games ahead of the opening ceremony on July 23. Officials said in March that foreign spectators wouldn’t be permitted to travel to Japan to attend the Olympics.

Guidelines released by the International Olympic Committee and Tokyo organizers said venues could be filled up to 50% capacity, with a maximum of 10,000 spectators at each event. Plans could change if infections in Japan rise sharply, they said.

“If the situation becomes very dire, we would have to hold the Games without spectators,” Tokyo 2020 President Seiko Hashimoto said.

Tokyo has picked up the pace of vaccinations and rolled out strict anti-coronavirus guidelines for people taking part in the Games. A member of the Ugandan Olympic team tested positive for the virus on arrival in Japan on Saturday and was quarantined at a government facility.

International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach said that more than 80% of the athletes and officials staying in the Olympic Village are expected to be vaccinated, as well as close to 80% of the international media coming to Japan for the event.

The only hombased players that should be on the plane to both the Nations and world cups is the No. 18, Ogbonna, and Demehin
Sports › Re: Nigeria Female National Teams' Thread by PDPGuy: 6:03am On Jun 17, 2021
The other thing that was frustrating was the lack of aggression from the Falcons. Whenever a player not named Payne, Oluehi, Ebi, or Alozie was on the ball, that player was basically sleep-walking and didn’t even care to look at available passing options on time.
It was just too casual for most of the game from most of our players. I guess the fact that there was no major competition until at least the second half of next year made most of the players take a lackadaisical approach to all 3 games. While the US players were fighting for spots on the Olympic team, hence they played with aggression.

Seriously?

It's like you've forgotten who Nnadozie is. One of the best female goalkeepers in the world presently.
I know Nnadozie is the #1.. What I meant is that Oluehi will be part of the squad to both tournaments.

Our keeper is my WOTM
Agreed! Some of her runs prevented this game from being a whitewash in favor of the US.

This Summer series has virtually stamped Oluehi’s place at the next Nations Cup and World Cup, fitness permitting
Sports › Re: Nigeria Female National Teams' Thread by PDPGuy: 4:05am On Jun 17, 2021
When you consider the fact that the SF were missing 5-6 key players, I’ll give the team an overall pass mark for this match.
Sports › Re: Nigeria Female National Teams' Thread by PDPGuy: 3:27am On Jun 17, 2021
I don’t know why the Americans are way FITTER than the SF.. it’s like the US team has 10x the energy of our players

TheSuperNerd:
To put it more accurately. We have actually defended better in this game. We should have had a goal if our players could switch plays quickly and find each other with good runs and openings.

Towards the end of the first half, Okeke was free on the right.. all alone. A simple unexpected switch of play via a sweet long pass would have caused serious danger for the Americans.

Our girls need to up their spatial awareness in the final third.
Very accurate on the bolded.. it’s as though the SF think all there is to attacking play is to beat the opponent on the dribble, before attempting a shot on target.
It’s really frustrating to watch

At least the Super Falcons did well in having 30% of the possession, unlike Sweden that only had 15% of the possession at half time in their game vs Spain at the Euros cheesy
Sports › Re: Nigeria Female National Teams' Thread by PDPGuy: 3:09am On Jun 17, 2021
Aside from the goal, I must commend the defense line for doing a good job. The much maligned Okeke has probably played her best half in this Summer series; while Alozie’s pace has largely frustrated Rapinoe
Sports › Re: Nigeria Female National Teams' Thread by PDPGuy: 3:06am On Jun 17, 2021
Even if you wanna play a low block, the midfield must still be able to hustle the opposing midfielders. For the majority of that 1st half, the midfield did nothing to protect the defense, exposing the back to incessant raids from Rapinoe, Press, Dunn and Mewis. That has to change in the 2nd half.

Moreover, the players need to be way more confident on the ball and know when to release a pass early. Too many times in that first half, the likes of Ordega, Okoronkwo and Chikwelu held onto the ball for far too long, allowing the US players to easily dispossess them off the ball. I don’t know why our players think they’re up against the likes of Sudan or Mali that would allow you to get away with such casualness on the ball.

That number 4, Ogbonna, is very useless.
She should have done much better in stopping that ball from reaching Press! I would say it was a lack of awareness of the opponent behind her that resulted in that goal
