WAFCON 2022| ‘There Is Still More Work To Do’; Super Falcons Forward Onumonu Focused On Burundi Match

Super Falcons Forward, Ifeoma Onumonu has noted that there is a lot more to do following their 2-0 victory over the Mares of Botswana.

The Super Falcons of Nigeria last night, came back from a 1-2 defeat to Banyana Banyana of South Africa in their opening game of the TotalEnergies Women’s Africa Cup of Nations to beat the Mares of Botswana 2-0

Goals from Ifeoma Onumonu and substitute Christy Ucheibe in the 21st and 48th minutes was enough to keep the defending champions in the competition.

The American-based Striker while speaking with journalists after the game, praised her teammates and said she was satisfied with the result, even though they could have scored more goals.


“We finally got on board, after our first game against the Banyana Banyana. I scored a goal and definitely wanted more, but am surely satisfied with the one goal and the victory we recorded,” She said.

“We were in a very difficult place emotionally, with what happened in the first game, and were determined to come out stronger and better against Botswana, with a lot of intensity. Good, we got the well-deserved victory.

The Super Falcons of Nigeria will face Burundi in their last group game of the 2022 Women’s Africa Cup Of Nations on Sunday, 10th of July.

What's the kick off time for the match tomorrow?

Yea, that's why I felt she should also have requested to be substituted from the game. I understand though that she's been under enormous pressure to "deliver" for the super falcons, but it shouldn't be to the detriment of her health. In hindsight, I believe she probably would have made a better decision.

She did the same thing at the Summer Series against USA and also at the world cup against South Korea. U are right about her being under
pressure to deliver but our medical team should also learn how to tell her no. Sometimes we need people to protect us from ourselves. At Barcelona she would have been subbed out immediately.

You're right though. Our medical staff need to be a little more assertive, but again the coach could also use his judgement. I'm aware coaches sometimes allow a player finish a game (usually semifinals or finals of a competition) even when they know the player is injured if the said player is very valuable to the team. But this wasn't the case, we were just starting the tourney with many more games to play. Just sad to see her leave. This inconsistency perhaps contributed to her being "easily" replaced as captain of the team. She could have stayed out of the game, even the group stage entirely and look forward to fill fitness during the knockout stages.

FALCONS : BRING BACK OMAGBEMI !

By Emeka Obasi

Our women chase shadows some of the time, when it comes to their case. Liberation matters most when it goes with political appointment. Many of them are not familiar with the name, Florence Omagbemi.

Omagbemi is an accomplished woman who captained the Super Falcons to the inaugural FIFA Women's Championships, China '91. She was African champion with the team seven times consecutively, between 1991 and 2006. To crown it all, the star won the African Women's Championships as coach with the Nigerian team in 2016.

Unfortunately, in a country of the absurd, Omagbemi was sacked after winning as Manager in 2016.

While Nigeria threw away their best, South Africa went for their best. Desiree Ellis who manages Banyana Banyana has been dealing with Super Falcons for long and did it again in Morocco.

Banyana Banyana have never won the African championships. They have a way round perennial champions, Falcons, thanks to Ellis. The South Africans defeated Nigeria in Cape Coast , Ghana at the 2018 edition.

Super Falcons were lucky when they met Banyana Banyana in the grand finale. It took 4-3 penalties for the West Africans to win the cup after regulation and overtime ended in a stalemate.

In 2021, Banyana came to Lagos, did not give due respect to Nigeria's First Lady, Aisha Buhari and went away with the trophy named after her. Victims were the hosts.

At the ongoing African Championships in Morocco, South Africa came out better leaving Nigeria on the grass with a 2-1 advantage.

It is remarkable that Ellis captained Banyana Banyana at the time Omagbemi was Super Falcons captain. In the 2000 grande finale at home, the South Africans were beaten 2-1. As a player, the latter led Nigeria to spell South Africa on the way to the Sweden '95 FIFA Women's Championships.

Falcons humiliated Banyana 11- 2 aggregate. The South Africans did not qualify for the World Cup until the 21st Century.

Omagbemi was appointed Manager in 2016 and won the African Championships. That was the same year Ellis was appointed interim manager. She has been substantive manager since 2018.

Presently, Falcons are led by a man who is far inferior to Omagbemi. He is an American, definitely not one of the best from God's own country. He is called Randy Waldrum.

Waldrum is not randy in anyway but he sounds like an empty drum. This man rejected the Falcons job in 2017, chose Trinidad and Tobago where he was kicked out for underperforming. That is the same fellow Nigeria hired in 2020.

Omagbemi lives in the US, she played for Boston Breakers and San Diego Spirit respectively. The Nigerian is a USA 1999 World Cup quarter finalist, Sydney 2000 Olympian and celebrated by FIFA.

Omagbemi was member, FIFA Technical Study Group ( TSG) for the Canada 2015 Women's World Cup. She was part of the organising committee of the Azerbaijan Under 17 Women's World Championships and did the same job in 2014 in Costa Rica.

When the Falconets got to the grand finale of the Japan 2012 Under 20 Championships, Omagbemi was one of the assistant coaches. So when you talk of experience, Waldrum is diminished.

Thomas Dennerby who came before Waldrum was better. At least, he was coach of his country, Sweden's female national team and is doing the same job in India.

Omagbemi is an icon. We cannot forget how she led Falcons to defeat Indomitable Lionesses of Cameroon at home, before their president, Paul Biya in that 2016 grand finale.

That was sweet vengeance. The Cameroonian men had dubiously beaten Nigeria three times in the African Nations Cup final. The most annoying was in Lagos in 2000.

Omagbemi shamed the Lionesses twice as captain before defeating them as coach. The sweetest part of the story was when the losers slumped 5-0 at South Africa 2004.

Falconets midfielder, Ngozi Okobi - Okeoghene is on the same page with me.

"A coach is supposed to be a friend to the team and Omagbemi is one perfect person at that. I think she is one perfect person for the job, " Ngozi said after the Nigerian legend was fired.

Please Coach Florence Omagbemi remember I wrote about this some days ago.

Randy Waldrum; “We want to build on our performance from the second game. We have quality option of players to pick from, we will look at the squad today and make the decision to bring the best out of the squad.”


Injury update:

Randy; “We need to check Plumptre to know if she is fit, we need her to recover fully.”

Payne; “I can play anywhere even though I play as a winger at club side.”

Damn!
The knives and machetes are truly out for Randy Waldrum. One wrong choice in his selection against South Africa and he is being pulverized.

Even though he was spot on regarding the media and their romance with negativity, he ought to have been coached by Amaku about how to string them along with the BS they love to hear.
Nigerians hate being told the truth anyway, so he should just play along. He knows what the objective is for him and the ladies, so…
