If the NFF can't appoint a top Coach from Europe like the Moroccan Women National Team Coach with a better CV...

They better stick with our own Coaches...

Head Coach; Florence Omagbemi
1st Assistant; Mercy Akide Udoh
2nd Assistant; Peter Dedevbo


If this 3 can work together in unity with NFF giving them the needed Support just as they gave to Randy Waldrum, I bet you there's no way the Falcons won't succeed at the big stage... DEDEVBO took the U20 to the World Cup final in 2014, he knows those Crops of players very well..

Florence OMAGBEMI have been there before on a shottime bases with the needed experience after Coaching the girls as Assistant to Edwin Okon at the 2012 U20 FIFA Women's World Cup in Japan where they finished 4th, before leading the team to Victory in Cameroon in 2016 AWCON..

Mercy Akide Udoh a University Coach like Randy Waldrum who's one of the greatest as far as women football is concern in Africa is also doing well in the US with good experience as an ex international, and playing pro in the US years back...

Florence Omagbemi and Mercy Akide Udoh have all worked with FIFA in various FIFA Women's World Cup tournaments as members of their technical study group alongside the Ivorian National Team Coach..

This Ladies have it in them, let's give them the room to succeed not wasting our tax payers money on this Colour People..

Randy Waldrum Failed Whoafully, If it was a Nigerian that messed up in Morocco I bet he or she won't even get to Nigeria before receiving the sack letter...

You called Randy a 'NUGA' coach but here you are still promoting the same set of 'NUGA' coaches with an U15 coach as the head coach.

Impressive

If you have read it from the beginning you won't be typing this trash..

By the way Florence Omagbemi is a far better Coach than Randy Waldrum
From late 2020 till date with all the Support from NFF, Randy nor fit win common Bronze but Omagbemi won Gold within months and without quality preparation... Oga the difference is clear.

FIFA U20 W/C: Falconets Set To Depart Colombia For Two Weeks Tour


Ahead of the 2022 FIFA U20 Women's World Cup in Costa Rica, Nigeria's Falconets will in the next few days depart the country for a training tour of Colombia to be in shape for the tournament, BSNsports.com.ng reports.

The Nigerian side qualified for the biennial competition in style beating their opponents including Cameroon to book their place.

They have been in closed camping in Abuja under Christopher Danjuma as their coach and are prepared to intensify their training as the competition draws closer.

Nigeria Football Federation head of communication Ademola Olajire while speaking to the News Agency of Nigeria said the training will be for a week and from the crossover to Costa Rica for the World Cup.

"The national under-20 women football team who have been training in Abuja will depart for a one-week training tour in Barranquilla, Colombia,” he said.

Falconets will open their campaign on August 12th against France before playing Canada and Korea Republic later in the tournament.

Opagoal nor try for this her tweet oooo


I personally went to check her page on several Occasions when Asisat Oshoala won the Award...


By the way there was a Separate Award for CAF inter player of the Year, which Ghanaian Young star Evelyn Badu won.. That award was for players based in Africa as a whole it goes for both male and Female...


This Award is been voted for by the CAF Technically Committee, National Team Coaches and Captains etc ... So is Oparanozie telling us that those that Voted Asisat Oshoala don't know what they're doing??


This War between them has to stop... The two of them are big name as far as Women Football is concerned in Africa, Oparanozie was here before Oshoala even though Oshoala became bigger on the Spotlight...

I saw the tweet a few hours after she posted it. I immediately glossed over it as I found it concerning and didn't even bother to bring it here. I kinda gave her the benefit of doubt and felt she probably was being misconstrued and there wasn't a need to give it any subjective interpretation.

However, when the comment by Onome was posted here, I just couldn't shake that feeling. It's sad though that she posted that no matter her intent, and to think she did this hours after Asisat received the award.

The first thing the new coach should do is try to resolve this beef if he/she has these players on their plan. If not some of them just have to leave the team. We can't have a fractured team at this point.

Randy Waldrum was appointed October 5th 2020

Florence Omagbemi was appointed in February 18th February 2016 and that same year won the AWCON, she didn't play a single international friendly game, just against NWPL Clubside...

While Randy played series of tournaments, ( Turkish Cup, Summer Series, Aisha Buhari Cup)
Played friendly game against top Country.
Had a training Camp in Austria
Had a training camp in Nigeria
Played against NWPL Clubside


How many of this opportunity did Florence Omagbemi and her Coaching crew get??

Rasheedat Ajibade and Osinachi Ohale makes CAF xi

Randy Waldrum Failed.... He has no Business Continuing as falcon Coach...

Let's give the Ex-internationals same room that was given to Randy they will do very well....

Imagine having the likes of Payne, Plumptre, Alozie, Onumonu coming in still yet nothing to show for..


With this Caliber of players Omagbemi and her crew can't fail..


You guys can go and watch the 2016 AWCON Semi Final against South Africa.. The First half and Second half of that game can easily proved to anybody that Florence was a better game reader than Randy.. Her ways of managing game is top notch.

No wonder she didn't agree to Work as Assistant under Randy... She knows her worth..

Randy Waldrop is taking the super falcons job as a part time job

Because he still doubles as a college coach and has infact returned immediately to the USA



That's quite embarrassing

So we can have a local coach that will be devoted

Up to Ohale and Oshoala to help get her if she's that good. That's an upgrade move.

How many team falcons fit beat for here ?

Just 3, convincingly o. We can win by slight margin, 2.
Just 5 we can draw with(goal goal), provided the keeper and defender communicate well(one of the biggest undoing of our female team in last 3 WWC)

Happy 16th Birthday to Vicky Lopez as she join Barcelona Femenino on a Five (5) years deal....

My hopes are high on these girls. Can't wait for a new Asisat and Oparanozie. If we fit see a Courtney Dike sef, i no mind. The setup towards that set that year suppose be blueprint in a way, plus improvement on the lapses off the pitch. If effort is just about representation and not intention for next big star, then these girls are at the mercy of another evil administration

AkinDS:
In the same vein, its odd that she was silent on the men's award, which was also based largely on club performance.

Look, Oparanozie by now should have been smart enough to realize that her words carry some weight - that was what got her into trouble the first time. She obviously hasn't learnt a thing from the past. Truth is, I really think its time we dispensed with all these old Mama's on the team in order for the younger ones to grow and for the mental health of the team.

Its time for the likes of Onome Ebi, Rita Chikwelu, Ngozi Okobi and Desire Oparanozie to be permanently excused from the team, in order to have a breath of fresh air. They are way to toxic and are stifling the ability for the team to blossom. I assure you, they will NOT be missed at all (case in point - Ucheibe vs. Chikwelu, Plumptre vs. Ebi). Let the young ones thrive without all the drama and negativity from the old ones, please! Haba!

I don't know the origin of this thing, but it has been a longstanding lens through which they see each other. One day, those privy to the whole story will forgo decorum and villians may turn saints, vice versa. Another Wafcon and the fact remains that the crews in the team is a big issue only a serious coach can address.

13months away i think, let's see what happens las las.

It not just about what Godwin said, it had been going on since time, show me any of our govt, that made and released budget on time for any sporting events

Even when hosting too, show me, from the military era to this present dispensation in which we are.

Godwin should come and tell us what he had observed, that makes him pen the post of his,

Thing is those country are more stable than us, and so is their Economy, which makes them plan ahead, but can same be said of us

Those journalist list posting negative vibes about our systems without giving 2 fuxks, and when they are later appointed, they end up not making any inroads, I. E Sunday Dare,

What are his plans for our sport

In conclusion, you're still in agreement with Godwin. You just don't want us to put the blame as harsh as we are doing it. How is that being negative? Do you think its only our journalists that do such?


The British media make our journalists look like saints, same table o.

Call it as it is, else it's just a delusional stance. Wack is wack. Mediocre is mediocre.


Efforts and dilligence to change the norm are what makes things to change for the better. Politicians are not, and should never be sport administrators in our own setting. It's absolutely abysmal!!

Sorry, but I disagree with you on this stance.

The problem with this team is NOT Randy. The problem is too many people affiliated with the team (directly or indirectly) with contrasting and divergent objectives.

1. COACHING. Why was there a need to superimpose that failure of a Rivers Angels coach on the team? (i.e. Edwin Okon). What value has he brought to the team so far? I know he tried bringing in some poor players, including his goalkeeper girlfriend who was promptly kicked out by Randy. I mean, that was a really dumb decision to do that. Likewise, half of the Nigerian coaches on the team don't know anything and should not even be there. Regarding Randy, yes, he is the Coach of the Univ. of Pittsburgh team, an NCAA D1 team. But he also was part of the very successful USWNT set up and has coached the very successful NWSL Houston Dash

2. ADMIN. Whose dumb idea was it to strip Asisat of the captaincy? I strongly suspect it might have been Aisha Falode's idea - I hope I am wrong. What has it accomplished so far? Has it boosted Asisat's play on the national team? All its done is create more internal strife between the players which has spilled into the media. The incompetency and lack of foresight of our football administrators has been one of the biggest problem for our football growth in that country. Illiterates who think they know football but are as dumb as iron and continue to destroy any progress that can be made.

3. SENIOR PLAYERS. As I had mentioned earlier, the biggest problem with the team right now is the so called senior players, specifically - Oparanozie, Ebi, Chikwelu and Okobi. Their presence is toxic to the team and they need to be excused from the Super Falcons as a matter of urgency. They have been on the circuit far too long and the drive, hunger, passion and desire for success is no longer there, as they are now complacent (that's why the likes of Okobi and Oparanozie have been saying all that nonsense). They are nothing but an impediment to the team's progress and growth and the time is ripe to be rid of them - permanently! We have many young players who can step in and do a decent job and its time for those young players to step in and step up. Desire Ellis did that for SA with great success - In hind sight, I now better understand what Portia Modise was alluding to.

4. AGITATION FOR OMAGBEMI. I am sorry but considering the current state of affairs and the undue internal and external interference and bickering, Omagbemi would have also failed WOEFULLY with this team (even with Akide and whoever as assistants). Omagbemi coached this team in 2016 and came in on a whims notice and won in Cameroon. Funny thing is: I watched her final match against Cameroon and compared the style of play with Randy's during this 2022 tournament. Same thing. Long balls from the back which were chased after by a very fit Oshoala and Ordega. Absolutely nothing spectacular or significantly different between this team and Omagbemis (Go watch the 2016 team performance if you don't believe what I am saying). Omagbemi has been coaching a U14 team since (not even a college team). Randy has over 300 wins as a college coach (top 20 in the US).

5. NEXT STEPS.
a. Get rid of the 'Fabulous Four' as mentioned above. That will help create a better atmosphere in the SF locker room, especially when there are many younger and more exciting players waiting for an opportunity to show case their skills. We have established players who missed the WAFCON, like Esther Okoronkwo, Rinsola, Roosa, Zogg, George and a few others who can compete in this team, as well as the U20 prospects, like Demehin, Onyenezide, Flavor, Ajibola, and others who are the next gen. We have MASSIVE talent on the horizon and its really dumb focusing on those old women who have caused nothing but strife! Its time to move on!!!
b. Get rid of the 'hanger's on', estacode chasing coaches who don't add any value whatsoever to the team - Okon, Wemimo and others.
c. The media is not helping matters, by parroting what disgruntled players and those incompetent, bad belle coaches are saying about the Oyinbo man. Let the man do his work the way he knows how!
d. Stop all the 'oga at the top' external interferences. Prime example of their stupid thought processes is stripping Oshoala of the captainship. That caused more issues in camp which was totally unnecessary. Let the coach do his job!
e. Pretty sure this experience with the Nations Cup will make Randy more stoked to exceed expectations at the World Cup. He needs to finish the job he was hired to do without undue interference. Let him build his team, win or lose. The man has used his vast network to line up 3 top friendlies against world class teams in the next 2 months - Japan and US (x2). There will be more top friendlies which would only help the team get better.

Happy to debate the points raised with you, Schemerkhiz.

The problem with this team is NOT Randy. The problem is too many people affiliated with the team (directly or indirectly) with contrasting and divergent objectives.

The above quote calls your entire writeup into question. You conveniently absolve Randy of any responsibility and found a way to make his "Nigerian assistants" culpable and hinged their culpability largely on their passivity (what the supposedly do not know).

Everything rises and falls on leadership. To Randy isn't responsible for the challenges of the team, then he shouldn't be responsible for the team. If the team had succeeded wouldn't you have arrogated all the success to him?

You also without evidence claim Omagbemi would have "failed woefully" under the same circumstances Randy enjoyed. Really bro? Really?

You mean if she had almost 2 year with the team, with multiple training camps, with same salary structure as Randy, with the liberty to pick some of her own assistants even if the FA will add some to her as they did the with Randy, if she had the same liberty Randy had to invite whatever players she seems fit, she would have failed? Come on!!

We don't know much about Omagbemi, but this we do know, she guided same team within a few months to win the same championship Randy failed to win under more extreme conditions.

I have no personal issues with Randy, but have sincerely lost faith in his ability to lead this team. He hasn't shown he has what it take to take us to the top, and we can clearly see it where it matters - the pitch. We also aren't necessarily making a case for Omagbemi, if the NFF can contract a top coach for the team, then fine, if they however cannot, we'll take our chances with Omagbemi.

Okay, what exactly did Randy do wrong on the pitch?

We dominated each and every other opponent, including Morocco, until the 2 red cards. Even playing 2 women down, we held them at bay for 60 mins! The only game the ladies did not dominate their opponents was against SA in the first game. However, we had more shots on goal than SA but were unable to convert. These are indisputable facts based on stats!

As I stated earlier in another post, no other team played as good as Nigeria in this tournament, none!. Not bragging or boasting, but I still believe we had the very best team. Had we not had the 2 red cards, I am willing to bet the ranch we would have won the tournament, beating the SA team in the final.

How was it the coach's fault that the two players made bonehead tackles that led to red cards? How was it the coach's fault that the Sports Ministry/NFF in their stupidity, decided not to pay the ladies their remunerations, thereby leading to them striking and missing several key training sessions prior to the Zambia game?

Regarding Omagbemi, have the issues that led to her disengagement changed since she left? Did we not have another payment protest during the competition? Did the NFF not interfere in the running of the team? Omagbemi managed a team that was pretty much set in terms of personnel. Randy's team has been in flux since day one - a lot of players coming into the squad. That is extremely difficult to manage as a coach, considering you are trying to get the best balance and flow for the team.

Lets look at things in context here before casting doubt on the man's ability.
