happney65: Just as expected.
P.S. As you reported it was a unanimous decision. Liberal and conservative Judges on the Bench. I hope when Liberal Judges rule against Trump next time he and his minions won't Whyne and cry..  The Court would then become a disgrace 😁 |

“We conclude that states may disqualify persons holding or attempting to hold stage office. But states have no power under the Constitution to enforce Section 3, with respect to federal offices, especially the presidency..” - U.S. Supreme Court in the Trump v Colorado case |

Deltamani: Womens Olympic Football Tournament draw March 20 8pm 🇫🇷
Current standings of the pots
1 France (host) Spain USA
2 Germany Japan Brasil
3 Canada Australia Colombia
4 New Zealand Nigeria / South Africa Morocco / Zambia
With the Semi Finals and Final still to be played in Concacaf W Gold Cup the final pots can alter pending results. The next published Fifa Rankings will be March 14 2024 Cool I think that even if the US loses to Canada, they would still retain their place in pot 1 |

BREAKING: U.S. Supreme Court has unanimously ruled that Trump’s name must be kept on the Colorado primary ballot, rejecting the state’s 14th Amendment arguments.
The Court held that it is Congress, not the states, that have the power to remove a presidential candidate from the ballot via section 3 of the 14th Amendment |

It’s definitely workable to play the both legs of the Olympics qualifiers on April 5 and 9 respectively, because there is no indication that FIFA would extend the window… |

Travel › Air Peace To Lease Norse Boeing 787s To Commence London Services by PDPGuy(op): 12:40am On Feb 29, 2024 |
Nigerian-based airline Air Peace is preparing to start its long-awaited service linking Lagos with London on March 30, 2024. Without available aircraft of its own to start services on the route, the carrier will be using leased Boeing 787-9s supplied by Norse Atlantic Airways (Norse)
The new route will see Air Peace operate from Lagos’ Murtala Muhammed International Airport (LOS) to London-Gatwick Airport (LGW) four times per week commencing at the start of the IATA northern summer schedule period.
According to Air Peace, the agreement with the UK-based arm of Norwegian carrier Norse is a wet-lease deal that will last for two months initially, but with the possibility of an extension. The airlines have also disclosed that they are in exploratory talks about further ways in which Norse aircraft could be used to expedite Air Peace’s ambitious long-haul expansion plans.
The start of London services also marks the entry of Air Peace into the highly competitive and lucrative market between Nigeria and Europe market. British Airways currently flies daily to Abuja (ABV) using Boeing 777s, and Lagos (LOS) using 787-10s, both from London Heathrow. Virgin Atlantic also flies a daily flight to Lagos using Airbus A350-1000s.
With the commencement of its new service, Air Peace will become the only Nigerian carrier serving the London market. Much of the current passenger traffic between Nigerian airports and London currently routes via a third connecting city. Out of around 362,000 passengers traveling between Nigeria to London in 2023, 46.8% traveled indirectly, connecting via cities such as Doha, Casablanca, and Addis Ababa. https://www.aerotime.aero/articles/air-peace-lease-norse-787s/amp |

Deltamani: Is not possible at all… FIFA only allows 2 game in that window and there’s no way Players will be in Camp exactly on the 1st of April as some of them will be playing a game 31st of March and also the travel distance, they still need time to recover from jet lags….
What is difficult here for you to understand.?? Well, both the federation and players would have to figure out a way to make the schedule work 🤷🏾 |

Deltamani: Then will they play the Olympic Qualifying Games? Traveling and all that? How does it work?
FIFA only allows two game in that window… Each window have the maximum number of game a National team can play. FIFA’s window for both legs is April 1-9, so it’s possible |
Sports › Re: Nigeria Female National Teams' Thread by PDPGuy: 7:22pm On Feb 28, 2024 |
Deltamani: It can’t hold April 1st and the international windows opens that day… Players will have to report to camp first.. Maybe April 4th or 5th is better. As some of them might have league games March 30th/31st.. I meant April 5 - a Friday |

The first leg of the Nigeria v South Africa Olympics qualifier will hold on April 5 in Abuja; whist the second leg will be played on April 9 in SA
Hopefully, the NFF would offer a massive discount on tickets for the stadium to be filled on that Friday |

Nigeria Super Falcons will face South Africa in April in the final qualifying round of the Paris 2024 Olympic games.
South Africa beat Tanzania today 1-0 (Aggregate 4-0).
First leg will take place in Abuja, Nigeria while the second leg will take place in South Africa. Abeg, the NFF should take the first leg to either the Onikan or Uyo stadia |

Deltamani: 🔥 What a win for Mexico in the 2024 CONCACAF W Gold Cup as they score two fine ones to beat USA 2-0 and finish top of Group A.
Mayra Pelayo golazo seals a stunning Mexico win over USA to take group A and earn a top 3 ranking in the QF
USA 🇺🇸 0-2 Mexico 🇲🇽
Jacqueline Ovalle 38' Mayra Pelayo 90'+2 Aside from their near relentless pressing, I was particularly impressed with the Mexicans’ shot accuracy as most of their shots within the box and outside were on target! I bet the priority for their opponents, moving forward, would be to prevent those outside the box shots |

lovewins: Mexico stuns USA winning 2-0. Anyone who's seen the trajectory of the USWNT and the growth of women's football worldwide wouldn't be surprised. The last World Cup exposed the deficiencies in the team, where they only beat one absolute minnow, and drew 3 games. In fact, if the Super Falcons were to face them today, I would also deploy the 4-3-3 formation that the Mexicans used. |
Sports › Re: Nigeria Female National Teams' Thread by PDPGuy: 5:19am On Feb 27, 2024 |
Is an upset on the cards, as Mexico lead 1-0 over the U.S. in the W Gold Cup at half time.
To put this in perspective, the last time the USWNT lost a home competitive game was their 2003 WC semifinal loss to Germany… |

Ppogbae: If we win all of our WC and AFCON qualifiers matches, we could potentially make another huge leap in the rankings. The UEFA and CONCAFAF teams are doing this with their nation's leagues matches. My hope too |
Sports › Re: Nigeria Female National Teams' Thread by PDPGuy: 11:13pm On Feb 26, 2024*. Modified: 11:41pm On Feb 26, 2024 |
Fun facts:
The last time the Super Falcons lost an Olympic qualifier was back in August 2015: a 2-1 loss to Equatorial Guinea.
The Super Falcons have also not lost a home World Cup qualifier since the 1-0 loss to Ghana at the 2002 WAFCON in Delta state.
Since FIFA introduced the specific Olympic qualification tournament for the 2004 Olympics, the team have not lost a home Olympics qualifier, spanning 11 matches
Since that defeat, the SF have gone 6 OQM without defeat.. |
