If she is that good, why then has she not get called up by England? I can bet you have not watched her play up to 3 times.

She was called up by the Senior team in 2020.

No need wasting your Energy responding to Isan if much younger Lauren James can be invited and given playing time why haven’t they given the so called very good Rinsola Babajide invites at least..

Esther Okoronkwo and Uchenna Kanu are a better option than Rinsola, I don’t even know where the hype is coming from..

I don’t even see any special trait that she has that we can really pinpoint that will help the Superfalcons attack..

Aha! I have finally found it. This is the source of the controversy.

isan:
James is world class , also it's not everyone that will play for England, if Esther is that good why is she not playing for USA ? if not for super falcons opportunity Esther will still be playing college football

Only once? I'm not sure she made the squad then. I'm not against her getting a spot in our talent bank. But to suddenly rating her above those who have been in the squad already because she changes allegiance is laughable.

Shaytun:
Does anyone have the link for today’s match?

hismail1:
It's not really about rating her above anybody but the fact is that she adds quality to the team.

did Asisat withdraw?

This is how a sports platform described Oshoala's absence. Even the Super Falcons page kinda singled her out with the way they phrased it yesterday.

Who has correct info biko? Was she excused or did she refuse to show? Either way this isn't looking good for her.

One could also try to see it from Oshoala's angle (if she truly refused to show). The last 2 times she honoured the national team call she left with an injury that kept her away from her job for months. First was the Aisha Buhari tournament, second was the nation's cup.

AkinDS:
Actually, I am very okay with her missing this tournament, as she has nothing else to prove.
Its also more important that she stays healthy for the WWC, even if that means she misses out on friendlies. One cannot also dismiss the level of unwarranted abuse and disrespect from some sections of the media and fans as a possible contributing factor for her possibly staying away.
Its an opportunity for others invitees to step up and be seen.

This Line up was Literally trending just now, I just wanted to share it with you guys… To me its impossible, it can’t be

It has been deleted though 😂😂😂

AkinDS:
I agree that the debate about who is better than who is rather premature and will not be drawn into it. What caught my attention was your emboldened comment below, which I will punt back to you...

Of all the foreign born and raised female footballers who played age grade for either England or the US, name one of them who received a call up to the Senior WNT? The answer is zero.

For the record:

Toni Payne - United States U17, U20 & U23
Iffy Onumonu - United States U23
Ashley Plumptre - England U15, U17, U20, U23

- Compare this with Rinsola Babajide - England U19, U20 (FIFA WWC Bronze Medalist), U23, England Senior WNT invitee.

And interestingly, pretty much those that played age grade WNT for US/England, who then switched to Nigeria, walked straight into the SF starting 11.
