Na wa ooo. This kind Tigress wey nor fit win just one match.

I just tire for this Olympics, make leagues resume jare.

Una dey try to follow up. I rada sleep away my time. Less than two weeks from now league go start

Julianaa:
France hasn't scored anything for 4 mins

Changes nothing bro.

Can't even shoot a free throw

This is very disappointing ..olorun!

Julianaa:
Fact is the reason most of this players chose to represent us is because USA didn't pick them

Like I said earlier, experience matters

These tigress players barely play in the usa women's league

Shame on Nigeria sport/basketball association

The fact is that most of them don't play in the USA Women's League(WNBA). The only person in D'Tigress playing in the WNBA is Erica Ogwumike. Nigerians in the WNBA(USA Women's League) such as Kristine Anigwe, Arike Ogunbowale, Nneka Ogwumike, Liz Cambage, Michaela Onyenwere, and Chinenye Ogwumike are either barred to play for Nigeria or aren't even thinking of playing for Nigeria. It's our boys that have a lot of players who play in the USA League, most of the D'Tigresses play in funny leagues like Mozambique League, Chinese League, etc, so I don't really blame them.

Few seconds to match end....mtcheeeeeeeww. Nonsense upon imgeridient

Giant of Africa indeed

87-62 Game Ends.

Zizicomm:


Still driving in with this kind margin is disappointing.

So annoying.

20 points in 4th quarter ,france decided to relax

They tried,

Julianaa:

Gaints of Africa because we dominate Africa

Doing it at the world stage is an issue


At world stage it's more of a mental battle than Physical battle

We will continue to struggle until our administrators start doing the right things!

We are not going anywhere.

We allowed ethnicity and bigotry to blind our eyes to the real talents. A lot of very good talents were dropped just because of their Muslim names and/states of origin.

Kindly help us name names pls

Just like the Buhari's admin, this team gave Nigerians false hope. Some people were already thinking medal.

This is what you get when the guys saddled with the responsibility of doing the right thing see competitions as jamboree...an avenue to chop. Hence, I wasn't surprised when most of our athletes were banned because some thieving adults refused to do their jobs. Tragic!!!

This silly stream of thought is one of the reasons the freaking Nigeria should be disintegrated. There are many countries in Tokyo which have a population less than Bayelsa State.

In the exhibition games when they won USA did you talk...TRIBALISM mother of ha8. Oni and udoh are in the team.

Good comment.

Though friendly games are not a good assessment of team quality. Especially when they are played before a big tournament.

Because why? Everyone is playing not to get hurt...so everyone does not play too well.

And who are those talents please?

I have been following our national basketball teams for nearly 2 decades. And I had no hope before the olympics, even when we won the exhibition matches (which are not a good assessment of team quality...since everyone and his mother is playing to avoid picking up an injury before the main tournament starts)

Nigeria is not a basketball nation. Most Nigerians don't care for or play basketball. There are few active players, not enough professional teams, and our basketball league matches are poorly attended. Most schools in the country don't even have a basketball pitch, and there are no active basketball structures at youth and U-23 level.

(France that beat us today, was beaten by Japan. Both countries have basketball pitches everywhere..in Japan many secondary schools have indoor basketball halls. Nigeria...no way)

So we always end up with a team of overseas nigerians, or a lacklusture homebased side, or both. And even when the overseas Nigerians are playing in the US, because of the overabundance of talent there...they barely get a look in in their WNBA clubs.

The only way we can improve is simp;le....get more interest in basketball here, and it will grow from here. Just like the USA went from being nobodies in women football in the 1980's to world cup winners by 1999....

The UK and US are killing racism, while bigots like you are defending tribalism. You are a dangerous bigot and you need help if you didn't see the lopsided nature of the team.

Yoruba - 1
Hausa - 0
Igbo -13
Niger Delta -1
Tiv - 0
Igala - 0
Kanuri - 0
Fulani - 0
Other tribes- 0

The match has been cancelled o.









Information reaching us is that Abba Kyari did not sew their jerseys on time for the match...

As usual we can never win anything

They are always losing.

Zoo falling.

Lol, but this is female basketball na. Have Oni and Udoh become female basketballers now?

JohnBullMySon:
What kind of an idiot is this Can you name the talents that weren't selected?

Oga, while the dude you replied is only being silly, don't tell me Igbos won't cry foul about "Igbo marginalization" if only one Igbo was in the team.

Are we supposed to be surprised??

Tranquillity360:

Lol, it's now become "zoo is falling" since the Igbo-dominated teams "both the male and female" are losing? Okay.

Just in scores please?
