You're analysis is spot on, even though I would have scored them slightly differently.

Cameroon has not refreshed their team in quite a while, and the fact that Ghana took them to the cleaners during the ABC Tourney proved that. I think they may no longer be as strong as they once were. Will score them a 5/10.

Morocco could be one of those 'sleeper' teams, meaning no one rates them as a threat and they sneak their way into the final. They are the hosts and would really prepare for this tournament. They could be a dangerous side to a team not taking them seriously. They did well in the ABC and also the Women's CL. I will rate them a 7/10.

Zambia is a 2 player team and will agree with your score.

South Africa is a tricky one for me. Yes, they played well in the ABC but I feel they were 'advantaged' by Nigeria's foolish overconfidence, as well as our very poor start to the game. Yes, their winning the Women's CL will be a big boost for them, BUT I still feel they will not be able to handle Nigeria's firepower. The pace in the Nigerian squad now is second to none on the continent. Bare in mind that several of our key young players actually missed the ABC and Nigeria has since gone through a major refresh since then, with several key players now in the squad. Also, we just took out 2 of arguably the top 5 countries in African football (Ghana and Ivory Coast) en-route to our qualification. I just don't see how any country on the continent now (SA inclusive) can stack up to Nigeria.
I would have scored them a 6.5/10.

Again, my opinion here and welcome any dissentions.

Cameroon is more of a physical side, from 2018 till date they tends to depends more on Nchout Ajara and Aboudi Onguene.. mark them out they're gone though they have a good Central Defensive Midfielder Raissa Feudjo who injury have been disturbing for some time now.. I will score them 7/10

Morocco is the host with a young team, though they have gone abroad to poach for their foreign born players, they have about 20 foreign based players mostly based in Switzerland, France and one of their star player playing for Tottenham Hotspur WFC.. They look technically discipline but lack the big stage experience, their coach is there to instill that in the team but they find it very hard to go toe to toe with physical sides.. I will score them 6/10

Zambia is more like a Barbara Banda team, remove her then they're down to a half team, remove Chanda then they become flat.. A good coach can easily beat them if he or she knows how to handle them.. They're very quick especially Banda and chanda but not really a tactically discipline side.. I will score them 5.5/10


South Africa look to pose more threat for the Superfalcons but I bet we won't let what happened at the Aisha Buhari Cup repeat itself... Looking at their Squad they don't have that depth as we do but will definitely be banking on Thembi kgatlana as their star and Key player.. Their defense is prone to errors too especially Mbane #13 who gets erratic when the pressure is too much. But they're going to be a difficult side to beat right now because they're more like a Compact team... I will score them 8/10




Let's here from you guys....!

So far, the Falconets have outscored their opponents by 14-0 in four U-20 WC qualifying matches…

I'm not really worried about all these teams except for Morocco who are the the host and having a quality technical bench... The still lake the big games experience though but am very certain they would qualify for the World Cup... It would be a Surprise to me if they don't...


Upfront we already have great strikers who can do the job anyday anytime... The team just need more Cohesion.

2. Asisat Oshoala
3. Fransisca Ordega
4. Ifeoma Onumonu

** Monday Gift, Vivian Ikechukwu, Maclean's Chinonyerem and many more..

You've brought this young lady's name up severally and I have tried watching the few videos online of her.
Honestly, not particularly impressed as I am not sure what value she can bring to the team, considering she currently plays for a weak Polish league and it seems she has been there for a few years and has not had any upward mobility since (i.e. moving to a more competitive league). One also has to consider the fact that even though she attended the Abuja camp, it seems she really didn't impress the coaching staff - that in itself is very telling.

No personal affinity or whatever, Have only met her on two occasions few years ago while she was playing for Bayelsa Queens. I really did like her Physic because she's a well built striker..
Coach Randy commended her performance during the last Camp in Abuja and also said he would like to have her more in the team. she did well and she has been in Poland for over a year now moving from Belarus. Isn't that bad having the top Scorer of the Polish Women League in the Superfalcon Squad...

She's a very Physical and quick forward, deadly in front of goal. She brings in the attributes of Oparanozie, am just judging from Randy's Voice..

One of her interview which she said she's know too well that she's a big player (in terms of size) so she always work out and train hard to make sure she's in Shape..

The Polish Women League isn't as bad as you have seen it, Ranked 21 by UEFA based on the UEFA Women's Champions League, far ahead of the Israel and the Turkish league...

Competition in the league looks good.

Roosa Ariyo was killing it in finland and she hasn't done anything since moving to Spain

Everyone isn’t the same and the Spanish League is way more tougher than the Finnish League… by the way Roosa Ariyo is still nursing a knee injury which you’re not aware of, I believe she will find herself soon..

I hope so too, they're looking so young and talented. Kudos to the Coaches too who have done so well to bring out this young squad.
My eyes will definitely be on this two Goalkeepers with excellent height who have been looking out for for some time now ..#1 Faith Omilana and #16 Linda Jiwuaku



Egypt next round, then maybe South Africa final round..

That No10 is like 13 to 15 I hope she's an attacking midfielder
