We have abundance of talent for the next U20. If the NFF is serious, they will appoint Dedevbo because he is very apt in his understanding of football. In fact, I think he should be the next falcons coach.

I would like a combo of Maureen Madu and Dedevbo to coach the team once Dennerby’s contract expires.

FergieRaww:
Wrong! Chelsea and Madrid would be in pot 1.... so there’s no chance they’ll meet at the group stage

You’re wrong!

The sweeter thing about this win is that Chelsea would be seeded in the UCL next season! However, Hazard and Real Madrid could be group stage opponents.

Fun fact -

France defender, Wendie Renard, standing at 1.87m (6ft 1.6in) is the tallest player at the World Cup.

See Defender and Keeper

Comedy hour
None of these players have basic soccer IQ. It’s that bad

Goal difference:
Nigeria +2
USA +1

Haha
Within 25 seconds of the restart, USA score a second goal

Based on height and reflexes, I’ll go with Nnadozie as my starting goalie. The only real edge Oluehi has over Nnadozie is her length of service to the national team

DOMINO001:
Glorified local governments. We are supposed to have a maximum of 10 states. They should be collapsed asap. But it won't happen cos somebody is benefiting from this current arrangement.

You are damn right! It’s the northern political establishment that mostly benefits from the bloated and unnecessary 36-state structure.

NLBigBoy:
Anyone watching the U-20 World Cup...It’s fantastic this year with laughable schoolboy defending and Outrageous ballsy skill moves...Some of this teams are amazing to watch when you compare them to that shít infested man utd team

I’m watching the tournament too. And it looks like half the Nigerian team is over aged

No one can convince me that the Argentine #9 is under 20

For those of you ranting about the presence of only 5 defenders, there is nothing to fear.
Nwabuoku, one of the players listed as a midfielder, can also deputize in defense if the need arises. Although she is a midfielder, she played admirably well in central defense at the last WAFU tournament.

olapluto:
I think we'll be just fine. Nwabuoku isnt going to play as a midfielder, she will play as a defender as part of the back 3.

Ok

I think taking only 5 defenders is risky! Dennerby should have named an additional defender as adequate cover in case of a serious injury.

Me, I am more bothered about her pose



So annoying when ladies do their legs like that...….. but then I am old school, what do I know?

Guys, do you all really think the 3-4-3 system would work against the bigger teams at the World Cup?

At this rate, almost all ex-Trump appointees May be in danger of a contempt of Congress citation. This is definitely an unprecedented breach of Congress’s oversight authority

olapluto:
Oshoala comes in and in 5 minutes, she's done what Duggan couldnt do in 60 mins.

It may be too little too late

These latest abortion laws are completely retrogressive and are a blatant attempt to get the US Supreme Court tot try to overturn Roe v. Wade.
But little do the progenitors of such laws know that, despite the current conservative majority in the Court, the likes of Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Gorsuch would vote to keep the current precedent in place.

Nnadozie saves again!
Falcons win 4-2 on penalties

One glaring advantage our team has over the rest is the fitness level of the players.
While our opponents suffer intermittent cramps, our ladies stay strong, which suggests that the new fitness trainers are doing a good job.

I think 1 keeper, and 3 attackers would be cut from the list. Yes, it’s entirely plausible that all the defenders and midfielders will make the final team.

So, the likes of Oshoala, Ordega, Oparanozie, Ogebe, Uchenna Kanu, and Ajibade are guaranteed places in the team. The final slot will be decided among Ihezuo, Chinaza Uchendu, Umotong, and Anam Imo.

Okon’s stance is misguided, at best, and foolish, at worst.
Yes, prostitution is technically illegal in Nigeria; but that doesn’t give policemen the authority to molest or harass the alleged prostitutes. The affected women deserve to be treated with dignity.

There are 26 players, not 27 in the preliminary list

My prediction for the final 23 are:

GK: Nnadozie, Oluehi, Jonathan

DF: Chukwunonye, Ebi, Michael, Ebere, Okeke, Ohale

MF: All midfielders except Chukwudi.

FW: All forwards except Alice Ogebe

Unlimited22:
Trent Alexander-Arnold.



Won't be shocked if that nigga is starting ahead of Trippier and Walker at Euro 2020

He should start ahead of either of those guys at the UEFA Nations League sef

naijaseeker:
I think the coach is doing great for a couple of reasons. He is developing a team that can take over from the Super Falcons. I do not mean a Falconets because we always had that but really picking young talents. Secondly this team is actually good enough to play at the world cup. They are hungrier, they need to prove themselves or reassert themselves. Nwabuku, Esther Sunday and Igbinovia have all maintained steady shirts at the higher level even before Oshoala and Ordega. Talents are discovered as the old ones fade unfortunately, most Nigerian coaches are scared to try anything new, you cannot blame them, the NFF are not so respectful to them. Believe me, Oshoala entered the senior team not because she was good but because of her emphatic delivery at 2014. Uchenna Kalu has always played for under 17 and under 20, why haven't they given her a tryout for the senior team? Confidence.

This team play more like a team and I understand the coach. Individually the main team probably (probably) has more talent and experience, but team against team in cohesion, this team will beat them. This team would have played better against Cameroon and would have beaten the SA regulation time.

Yes, I was impressed by their general coordination and movement today. The right-back put in some decent crosses to the forwards as well.
However, I still don’t think the “main” would lose to this team. At best, both teams would play out a draw.

For the World Cup, I only potential starters in the first 11 would be Uchenna Kanu and Nwabuoku. Igbinovia would always be amongst the substitutes.
In fact, Uchenna has already secured a seat on the plane to France. Nwabuoku has bags of experience.

Fulltime: Nigeria 15-0 Niger. Biggest ever margin of victory for the Super Falcons.

This 15-0 win is now the biggest margin of victory for the Super Falcons!
Their previous record was a 9-0 win over Sierra Leone in 1994.

Full time: Nigeria 15-0 Niger

12-0

Halftime
Nigeria 9-0 Niger
