No South Africa? I'm quite shocked. I thought they were powerhouses in this sport?

I’m shocked too. But I think South Africa may not have brought their ‘A’ team to Accra because they deem the African Games as a B-list competition

Obrigardo:
These polls are always in flux. But I don't see you posting President Biden's wins, only when it's favorable to a court adjudicated rapist, Criminal trump.

Yes I agree that the polls are always in flux, but it’s shocking that Latinos would ever consider picking a Republican over a Democrat, even in a snapshot.

But who knows, maybe all that would change if Trump is convicted sometime before Election Day

Like I postulated some days ago, Waldrum may just have to go with a 4-5-1 against both Spain and Japan 😁

Draw is complete, and the Super Falcons are in the group of death in group C 😏

Nigeria have beaten Kenya 2-1 to book the women's hockey final.

They face Ghana in the final on Friday, March 22, 2024. 🇬🇭 ⚔️ 🇳🇬

The Olympic Football Tournament draw is now underway..

Hopeful for a favorable group for the Falcons

As expected! I now expect her to win 🥇 in Paris

BlueMann:
IFAB has approved new tests for another type of offside! 😳

A player would only be offside if his ENTIRE body is ahead of the last defender.

IFAB should permanently gazette this amendment into the Laws Of The Game! Why should it take THREE separate trials to convince them of the amendment’s viability 🤷🏾‍♂️

Enyimba economic city is the main project I am waiting for. They are going to break ground 2nd quarter of this year.

Wow! That project would position Abia as the economic nerve center of the SE

D’Tigress Olympic schedule:

July 29: Nigeria v Australia
August 1: France v Nigeria
August 4: Canada v Nigeria

Princezibk:
What event is that pls, and which country won the gold ??

Women’s 100m, Gambia won it

Olayinka Olajide, by winning bronze in the women’s 100m event, has now secured Nigeria’s 300th ever athletics medal at an African Games 👏🏾👏🏾

Deltamani:
Swearzzz… 9ja Version of Wendie Renard based on her height. I think Physically she’s going to be at the top of her considering her Strong physique.

I can imagine a CB combo of her and Ohale would be amongst the top 5 national CB partnerships!

do4luv14:
This thing no dey make sense, why will a whole continent had only one rep

I partially agree with you, in the sense that the women’s Afrobasket should have sufficed as the African qualifying competition to the Olympics, with at least 2 African teams heading to Paris.

But, FIBA, in their “wisdom”, chose a convoluted qualifying path that involves intercontinental qualification tournaments. And in their bid to ensure that at least one African side reaches the Olympics, they grouped Nigeria and Senegal together

Deltamani:
OUTSIDE FOOTBALL

I bring to you the ALL AFRICAN GAMES: Nigeria 400M Athlete Brittany Aderinola Ogunmokun

A US-based Nigerian athlete who served five-year in the US Military, is proudly representing Nigeria on the track. Yesterday, she secured her spot in the semifinals of the Women's 400m event at the 13th African Games unfolding in Ghana.

If she was a Footballer the GK and CB position would have fit her though…

Wow. It’s good of her to rep Naija!
I will deploy her as a CB because her physique and speed would be a nightmare to many opposing forwards

leathalbeast:
who taught u football? If that is the case then how is Argentina the world cup champions didn't they also draw with France. Poor logic, sour losers

Lol. That World Cup final is still considered to have been draw and neither team would be in the record to have lost the game, statistically speaking

daveP:
They'll cross it sef. But the least expected of them at Paris in all games is 30medals. They better cross that aspect. I know weightlifting and wrestling will give us a good start.

Sad that we have swimming potential in this country(SS region)but we allowing SA school trained kids to be packing the medals in that category.

Paris will be a different kettle of fish as the competition would be way more elite than whatever we have seen in Accra. I expect Team Nigeria to win medals, but I doubt we would win up to even 15 medals in Paris.

With regard to swimming, I’m encouraged by our athletes that won medals in the event in Accra, and I hope the swimming federation and sports ministry will build on this foundation and, hopefully, propel our swimmers to become genuine medal contenders at the 2028 Olympics

Not related to footie, but Nigeria is only one medal away from becoming the first country to achieve 300 medals in the Athletics event of the Africa Games..

GeneralDae:
The falconets in WAFU cup 2 years ago, did they beat Ghana?

They were merely eliminated on penalties by Ghana, so statistically, that game counts as a draw.

GeneralDae:
89' GOOOOAAL! in Cape Coast 📍

Nigeria 🇳🇬 2-0 Uganda 🇺🇬

Substitute Chiamaka Okwuchukwu doubles the lead for the Falconets

The unbeaten run vs African sides continues 🙌🏽🙌🏽

Best possible draw would be:
Australia, Belgium, Japan, Nigeria

Worst possible draw:
USA, Spain, Japan, Nigeria

And here are the pots for the Women’s Olympic Basketball Tournament draw on March 19:

BREAKING!

Supreme Court rules unanimously that public officials can block social media followers in limited circumstances

Wow! It looks like a tough tie, but I’ll be backing the Gunners to blaze thru to the semis

BlewMahn:
Of course, Grimaldo and Frimpong were involved in the goals.

Grimaldo - 11 goals, 14 assists

Frimpong - 12 goals, 10 assists

Do you know how crazy this is, even for attacking wing backs?!

They must be the best wingback/fullback duo in Europe right now!

A combined 47 g/a is 🤯

Leverkusen are the literal definition of “no gree for anybody” 🤯

raumdeuter:
Looking for the next Brighton player to spend 100m on. That young black striker called Welbeck shouldnt be more than 120M

🤣🤣😂😂
