Every small thing, this person or that person is corrupt and biased. Rubbish talk.

Morocco have put a lot of hard work into their football unlike Nigeria that has much more talent at it's disposal.

You are right about Morocco but that's going to take a decade before we see the fruits. Till then. Besides, you can't see the way Falcons played against Canada and not accept that that display shows hardwork. The only slip up was from Ordega causing pk and abiodun red card.

Super Falcons and Super Eagles need to improve and upgrade their attacking formation..

Super Falcons would have only Oshoala in the box or in the wings and there will be no one in the box waiting for a cross or a pass but if you watch the European teams wheb they are attacking they have at least 3 - 5 players in the box while another 2 - 3 are behind the attacking players in the box and 2 players are back defending.

Why is it difficult for the S.F and S.E to train how to attack this way.

Imagine having Osimhen, Boniface and Moffi e.t.x. waiting in the box or having Oshoala, Onumonu, Oparanozie e.t.c waiting in the box then ucheibe, Payne, Ayinde behind them.

Was just about to talk about this. I agree that it is hibernating for now. I don't want to use Dead. 11 shots and 1 on target is not good for any top team at the World Cup....


See how the Germans played...


We are yet to set up in such a way as to isolate the extra man/woman. Madrid and Man City do this well for the Men's team. Lyon, Wolfsburg and Arsenal do it perfectly well for the women's team. A midfield of Ucheibe and Ayinde would help. But our full backs need to go all wing backs to stretch any opponent. I hope we replicate something like this. All these longballs from Nnadozie is to nobody's advantage. Na demehin wey dey fear pass be the weak link for this setup

codemaniacs:
The same Sebastian was the reason the U20 didn't get to the semi-final because she wanted to dribble every defender instead of passing into the box.

Anytime Ajakaye was at the wings she always crosses or passes the ball into the box.

Sebastian also falls down a lot and in the world cup the referees won't blow their whistle for her.

Ajakaye is more of a team player than Sebastian. Ajakaye will press, close gaps, run to the wings and pass or cross which can also give the SF corner kicks.

While Sebastian will run to the wings and try to drive into the box with step-overs or pace to try and score on her own and she can also win the SF penalties if the referees are fare.

Oshoala was fouled and the referee didn't call it a foul.

At all. I disagree

Sebastine is a more rounded player than Ajakaye. Both will come good with time. Ordega at that level was something else already and in world cup team by 2011. Both aren't near her beast mode that year but are as good and Sebastine is the better player. Although her outing in the Cafwcl is not that impressive.

asisat is not giving her best. I miss rashidat

We still don't get the best and i dunno why. I see Popp her competition mate that year and just feel down. But she's a threat anyday sha.

We can do this but our coach is just clueless. We boast of pacy FBs in Imuran, Alozie and Nicole. Imuran is even a good crosser of the ball. In Ucheibe, we have a player who is comfortable slotting in-between the CB freeing up the FBs. See eh... coaching is a big problem in Nigeria football.

Giulia Dragoni (16) becomes the youngest player to ever grace the field for the Italian women's team at the Women's World Cup.

She was in action for 83 minutes. Impressive 👏🏾

Popp was never Asisat Oshoala competition mate at grade okay…. Desire Oparanozie, Ebere Orji were of the same set with Popp not Oshoala please..

After the U20 World Cup in 2010 everyone thought Esther Sunday was the New Stella Mbachu then because of her Skills, pace and everything but 2014 to come Fransisca Ordega fully displaced Esther Sunday.. I think Franny would have done that long ago in 2012 if not that she missed 2012 WAFCON alongside Oparanozie because of injuries and their Clubside didn’t release them for the tournament then…

I can’t Compare the Flourish Sabastine and Ajakaye of now with the Ordega of then, cause Ordega came in with full force…

These Brazil ladies are exciting to watch

Exactly!! We have the personnel already. Our own is always diff and its enraging.

If we play like this vs Australia and sama them with cross and nod, o pari. Their GK, Arnold, na full blown Otu. I'll pick the Moroccan gk over her anyday. She struggled throughout the cornerkicks Ireland played. We can use that to advantage. The goal Australia got was from pk sef caused by inbox tussling for aerial ball. I hope randy noticed this and tells the ladies to try something similar. High chance is it will end in pk. It's not Everytime person suppose win challenge for box. Floating balls and tussle and down. Pk.

Where are Team wait for your time to see this? Irony is she may not even be as talented as the ones we are saying should wait. But we move. Exposure is very key, talent or not!

True. Ordega never get 2nd since then at u17 level till date. Girl was just netting and netting and... These two, i pray they don't end the Esther Sunday way. That girl was too good to not have a good career.

One can see they've trained together so hard and for long. Everyone seems to know where they are plus passing accuracy is top notch. Don't spend too much time with the ball at your feet as well. I hope Alozie learns this before Thursday.

At least who follow 9ja Women football go know her good Esther Sunday is, I used to call her Woman Messi then cause this girl was bag of Skills, I don’t even know how she ended up that way, was in France (Guingamp FC) I think last two season but couldn’t keep up, she Left to Poland 🇵🇱 second div club which she help gain Promotion to the top div this past season… She recently joined another Polish Clubside thuo.!

That team fit beat our Super Eagles

You are right and wrong same time.

Popp was oshoala's competition during U-20 which they won and Nigeria came second. Oshoala nearly fought during extra time of that game for time wasting when the Germans took the lead.

Alex Popp played in the 2010 Under 20 World Cup.

Asisat Oshoala played in the 2012 and 2014 Under 20 World Cup.

Desire Oparanozie played in the 2010 and 2012 Under 20 World Cup.

What is the super falcons biggest lost at the world cup?

Which Popp are you talking about??

Alexander Popp played U20 World Cup once which was in 2010 and that was Desire Oparanozie, Osinachi Ohale, Ebere Orji, Alaba Jonathan and Esther Sunday set…

Asisat Oshoala played two U20 World Cups 2012 and 2014.. In 2012 Asisat Oshoala was a Defensive Midfielder alongside Ngozi Okobi, #5 Cecilia Nku even Cecilia Nku played 2010 U20 then..

The only time Alexander Popp and Asisat Oshoala have met at the Senior level was 2019 FIFA women’s World Cup round of 16 in France… The rest na Club

So Prove me Wrong please 🙏

Ona da Wrong ooooooo
Please if you don’t know ask or better still do some research, Oshoala set at U20 were the likes of Germany current first choice Goalkeeper Merle Frohms, Midfielder Sara Däbritz and Lena Petermann.

This formation would not be bad vs Australia

Please don't be unreasonable. Age was never the crux of argument. No one said Ajakaye or Flourish shouldn't play with the falcons because of their age. For God's sake that is t the point and no one gives a damn about how old you are as long as you can deliver.

You don't need to reference this as example. Historically, the super falcons is replete with examples of very young players who featured for the team at the world stage. Debbie and Rofiat are both 19yrs. Okobi was 16/17 when she played her first WAFCON. Same can be said about Asisat, Ajibade Nnadozie who were very young when they got their first stint with the national team. Their age again isn't the point.

Stick to the crux of th argument. The aforementioned players are currently in the team cause they were deemed good enough to play top flight football.

Don't waste your energy bro...there are some monikers here whose views are sometimes laughable. Just jump and pass.

I don't shy away from arguments. I think they improve this space and we tend to learn a lot from one another in the process. I'm also not afraid to be wrong (been wrong a few times), especially when I'm confronted with superior argument. I just try to learn from them. Some people however just argue for argument sake. I give the benefit of doubt sha, but after a while I just stop engaging.

labas370:

They were different sets actually. I just searched for details all over again. I guess Germany being the opponent on both occasions caused the mixup. I even saw Courtney Dike all over again during this search. Revelation of the year award in 2014 but that was the end of anything else. Naija sef!

Imuran and Alozie as wingback so we can provide crosses throughout. Oparanozie starts cos cross and nod only effective that way. But one thing is sha certain. Ajibade abd Ayinde are starting next game. So this won't work.
