If she's put on that pitch, I'd bet she'd be lost.

Oshoala's was a special case, while Ordega and Oparanozie came through when female football was still never taken seriously in Africa . Times have seriously changed.
I bet u lose ur money making that bet.

She plays in the league so I don't expect her to be lost.

Your point on Oparanozie and Ordega is just bad. Nigeria lost the AWCON twice from 2008 to 2012 so how was the continent not taking football serioushuh

I 'd never lose! She plays in the league... So what? A league that isn't improving..

If you've not noticed that the homebased players are no more cutting it, you have yourself to blame, to top it all, there's a very long way from the U20 to the Senior team.

Also, my point stands,. Ordega and Oparanozie could never stand serious teams in Europe and North America ditto Oshoala who was a special talent. They could shine in Africa cos Women's football standard was still poor. Today, a lot of African team are catching up, if Nigeria fails to upgrade, they'll be disgraced.

She's clearly talented, but the truth is, she's got a very long way to go.

Of course I know. That was also how you defended Eguavoen after the Ghana game.

I've watched the Super falcons for quite sometime (at least to make a reasonable judgement). We have a poor history against European (plus North American) teams. Only now am I starting to see some boldness in attack. Even with a disjointed team (heavily jet lagged) We managed to still pose danger to Canada.

In the 2019 WC we would've not even got a single goal against a poor Korea if not for Oshoala's brilliance. Maybe you'll need to compare the individuality then and now.

Coaching is a very delicate job, hence I don't like to blame coaches who have not failed their objectives. For me, besides losing to South Africa, there's been no problems. That was a friendly, but we won both Ghana and Cote D'Ivoire, two top five countries in a crucial tie.

Relax first before home based brouhaha gets the better of you.
Some people don't realize how poorly the Super falcons have performed against these top teams in the past.

Why is it that some players looks good at Clubside and coming to the National Team they're not there, or should I say not good enough for the National Team but good enough (key Player) for her Clubside
Age is one of them. While their clubs are only managing them well, how sure are you that they play very well at club level?

Akudo Ogbonna cut it against the Canadians so ur point takes another big L. Can u name a homebase that didn't perform for waldrumhuh Was it Gift Monday who won a match with a brace or Vivian Ikekwukwu who scored the 2 goals against South Africa?

Your point was that Africa has massively improved and I asked if they were not improving when we lost 2 out of 3 Cup of Nations?

Oshoala was even a defensive midfielder when she made her debut so u saying she was ready when Oparanozie and Ordega were not is just wild. In football if are good u are good. From what I've seen Flourish Sabastine, Esther Onyenezide and Deborah Abiodun deserve to be in the team.

Oga u didn't address anything I said undecided what has the coach added to this team? What does Eguavoen have to do with anything? I don't know why u must always try to attack my character to make ur point. What do homebase have to do with what we are talking about?

U saw boldness in attack after 3 long range strikes all matchhuh Tell me more

We lost our final game to Ghana and we could have lost both games to ivory Coast if they had a striker. Our only meaningful result under Waldrum was a draw to Portugal.

The objective of coaching the Super Falcons can never only be qualification because that should be a given. I want them to have a set style of play that works and also COMPETE against bigger competition and not just show up.
No bro I'm not trying to attack your character. I'm just very sure that if they were the kind of players and coach you usually prefer, you'll will be singing a different song even with the same exact results.

So I think you're judging the coach and the team too harshly. Like way too much. It's not as if the Super Falcons had been a stronger team before him. we've even had poorer results. If the team and technical crew were built according to your desire, I know you'll be more realistic and appreciative rather than setting very high standards so that you can find fault.

When the team wins, you belittle it by making funny statements. Why not also say that we should've won Canada if they didn't have a defenderhuh
Re: Nigeria Female National Teams' Thread by Schemerkhiz: 8:10am On Apr 11, 2022
Back then when ever Ayinde and Okobi plays in midfield.. the transition of the ball from defense to attack was always fast... Ajibade slows the ball a little bit and is not fast with his release of the ball for some time now truth be told, But I think it's as a result of not finding the space upfront and who to pass to, just hope Coach Randy would work on this too.

Look at this guy. U are just telling lies at this point. Tell us what the coach has added?

So because I want some of the U20 girls to get a look that means I don't like the team? That's just silly.

Now show me where I made a funny statement about the team after a win.

Re: Nigeria Female National Teams' Thread by Schemerkhiz: 9:36am On Apr 11, 2022
21yrs Old Onyi Echegini is truly talented but still need to prove herself first.... Maybe more game time.

Re: Nigeria Female National Teams' Thread by lovewins: 11:23am On Apr 11, 2022
Never knew Aisha Falode was one of the officials in Canada.

From an observer's perspective, I think the welfare of the super falcons has improved the last few years. I really can't speak of promptness in the payment of match bonuses, but hospitality wise the NFF seem to have improved

Re: Nigeria Female National Teams' Thread by Schemerkhiz: 12:33pm On Apr 11, 2022
Okay guys just look at how Ajibade tends to draw about 3-5 Canadian players to herself... This is one thing she does regularly and we need to take advantage of her strength..



This is something we should be using against the Canadian side, for example having a pacy Ordega and Oshoala have, Ajibade could easily find a way of releasing the ball to them while Ordega and co or any player available can punish them..



We need that quick transition once we gain possession..

Randy in today's interview picks Ajibade as the best player on the pitch and I tend to agree. Like you rightly mentioned, we need to do better with our forward transition. The girls have to be swift and decisive with the ball.

They are all largely unpolished..

When Equatorial Guinea won those cups, the level of the game was still poor. Then, it was just about Nigeria, South Africa, EQ. Guinea, Ghana, Cameroon...The gap btw these teams and others was very large. Such is not the case today, okay... We've got strong teams in Ivory coast, Mali, Zambia, Tanzania, Morrocco, etc.

While progress is being made, the standard on the continent is still low. Problem is, Nigeria hasn't been improving.

You have to leave those young girls to prove themselves at the U20 first.

The above listed U20 Players are very good and they're currently the Key and Star player's of the Falconet, but right now if we're to go with Deborah Abiodun battling with the Combative Otu and Ucheibe for the DM role it going to be a tough task for her, there's no way she's going to unseat Otu and Ucheibe.. Lt wait and see what she brings at the U20 FIFA Women's World Cup later this year!

Look at Esther Onyenezide very small but mighty, she's still very raw, put her down with Ajibade, Okobi and Payne she will only learn from them for the now... Trust me she won't be able to win the Superfalcon team spot battle with any of them right now..


Flourish Sabastine the Ultimate among them all will have the likes of Uchenna Kanu, Esther Okoronkwo and Co to battle with upfront, she's very good but lack of experience will knock her out for the now, she needs that U20 World Cup and at least a year more to be at the same level with them...

If Barca had left messi, fati, Pedri and Gavi e.t.c to play youth football they will not be scoring the match winning goals that they scored and are scoring..

Pedri won't have been in the senior team to score the winning goal against Sevilla.
Messi won't have been the player he is today...

You just said that in your last statement.

I know you have players in your head but please allow the coach to do his thing. Calling him poor and running him down because you don't like him or some of his selections is unnecessary. You can't defend your statement about him being poor because he hasn't been. At least for now.

U don't have anything to talk about. U think u can use sentiments to stop me from voicing my opinion? Where does is say that a spade shouldn't be called a spade?

Again, where did I make a funny statementhuh Let me guess because it is something u don't agree with it is a funny statement. Now u say I don't like a man that I never met in my life grin u got ur argument straight out the average Nigerian playbook. Attack the person and not the subject.

Are you not the one who said here that we won Ivory coast out of luck. Something we did over two legshuh

He was the first coach to scale through this new qualifiers format of death by beating two top ranked African sides without his star player and Captain Oshoala.

At least respect him for that. Finito

Oshoala only missed ivory Coast.

So we should never question the coach because u have a crush on him or whathuh I never called the team lucky but even if I did would that be the first time it has been said in footballhuh People said Barcelona was lucky yesterday against Levante, did the world end? Abeg free me. U obviously have a personal issue that I don't care about. Peace.

Barca's situation is clearly different from the Super Falcon's. On what basis are you making this comparison? Is it in the area of football education the young players receive at the academy of Barca, the coaches they're exposed to, training equipment, etc., vis-a-vis the Nigerian system?
