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.

i cant wait to see ajibade on the pitch. The girl is not always lucky. Last worldcup, that was how Thomas deneby kept her on the bench until the last match

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 👏🏾
this can never happen in men's football. Messi was over 18 when he played in 2006

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.
Your last two sentences just summed everything up. Personally, It is frustrating going back and forth with someone who keeps turning and turning the argument.

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.
It's so easy to look these things up... The first 2 are the 2010 U20 World Cup squads and the last 2, are the 2012 U20 World Cup squads.


Nigerians 😂 😂😂😂😭

Bro, spent last night analyzing Australia’s matches this year and I can confidently say that cross and nod will not work against them (might only work for them against us although they even aren’t so good at scoring it but don’t count them out). If we want to beat the Aussies or get a result, we’ll have to do it the hard way, by actually playing direct football with intelligent & accurate passes and defending well, we won’t even need dedicated wingers and counter attacks else they’ll tame us. And the full backs, CBs and DMs will be extremely important on Thursday cos most of Australia’s attack will come as those square plays and through ball into the box. I will go with a front 3 of Kanu, Oshoala and Ajibade. But Ajibade will have to spend more time in midfield alongside Payne to help transition into attack. That’s just my take, I’m open to criticism, corrections and appraisals till the reality of Thursday’s match comes

I'm not arguing... I'm just commenting..

you say someone argues like a toddler to spite the person yet you don't have the intelligence to tell difference between when someone is arguing and just commenting..

Unlike you I wasn't born into this world to spite, insult, disrespect, defame and disparage other people.

Female footballers are generally younger than their male counterparts....The Average age for an academy player ( Males ) to breakout into top senior squads is 23/24 years, while female footballers make debuts as early as 14years old. Young girls can play "Women's" football but Young boys can't play "Men's" football....It's just Biology.

Female football doesn't have academies or little to no academies....They get drafted straight from high schools, colleges, center of excellence etc.

Example, Jessie Fleming has close to 120 Caps for Canada, and she's just only 25 ( She made her debut as a 14 yr old ), if she plays for another 10 years, she'll most likely add another 100 Caps.

There's a reason why there're over 500 women with 100+ Caps, despite their game just being relevant for a little over 2 decades now.

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.
When someone says their time will come then they're talking about age especially when it's coming from Nigerians and Nigerians do give a damn about how old you are whether you can deliver or not.

It's about having a succession plan..

What is the Crux of the discussion to youhuh

This kind of tactical marking is a recipe of disaster when used against a highly technical team. A quick one-two followed by a through ball to any of the free forwards. lobatan

I agree with you and would probably have set up this way a few hours ago. But after watching a lot more highlights of the Matildas, I'll rather Randy setup exactly the same way we did against Canada (at least for the first half) with Halimatu coming in for Abiodun and Rash for Ordega.

Just this year, the Australians have beaten Spain, Jamaica, England, France, and Ireland. It will be reckless and arrogant to think we can have a field day with them with their current form and over 70k people cheering them from the stands. I'll rather Randy err on the side of caution. Be conservative, then expand as we grow into the game preferably in the second half.

Thing is, we don't need to beat Australia to qualify, we just need a point and then we can go all out against Ireland. If we however execute very well, we can still get all ,3 points with Australia even if we play conservatively.

the lady that missed her penalty against is the highest goalscorer in international football, male or female. A lot of remarkable things that happen in the women's game hardly occur in the men's game. How many men can boast of four, five, six worldcups as the likes of ordega, Onome, rapinoe, popp, sinclair, opara, morgan and the like

The absence of Sam Kerr has impact on their all rounda approach. She makes things work a great great deal for them. It will work because that is a weakness noticed vs Ireland, esp that gk wey no sabi. It's the midfield battle one can be worried about, but Ayinde is returning.

Won’t be a bad idea if Waldrum deploys a 5-person, or a 4-person midfield.
Re: Nigeria Female National Teams' Thread by PDPGuy: 1:07am On Jul 25, 2023
Thoughts on this formation?

——-—Demehin——Ohale—Plumptre——-

——-Ucheibe——Ayinde—-Payne——Imuran—-

———-Oshoala—-Oparanozie—-Ajibade———

Here, whenever the Aussies have the ball, our midfielders (except Payne) and the back three will be primarily tasked with defending.

Then, Oparanozie would be crucial in holding up the ball (which she excels at) to lay off passes to the speedier Oshoala and Ajibade

Ajakaye and Flourish made their names at world cups so I don't think bringing up stats will slow anyone down. But I do think we should forget about everyone and focus on the 23 players representing us at the World Cup. After the tournament we can get back to the original program grin
How can a person focus on 23 players with no single ball joggler? The current SF team is pure accident. Most of the players have absolutely nothing to offer the eyes. The team's so-called superstar will fall to the ground on a blow of air from the opponent's mouth. They are so predictable their opponents easily intercept wayward passes meant for teammates. I guess the inclusion of Ajakaye, Flourish, Onyenezide, Efih, Okeke and Akudo on the team would have been a progressive endeavor.

Sebastine is the better player all rounder. Especially teamplay. Ajakaye is more selfish than Flourish to a annoying level but can be refined to become a big plus for her. Sebastine in this squad after 3 games will end up being the most fouled, and I'm not mincing words. But she's not here so we move.
I do not think so. Flourish selfish play holds her down for any selection. I had fielded Ajakaye before Sabastian.

Abeg stop it, why are you guys taking the team backwards? Inclusion of this and this. Tell yourself the truth non of this Players can bench the present ones ooo except maybe Okeke who i even think isn’t back to her usual form.

- They thrashed Argentina 11-0 on Argentina’s debut in 2007

- They bashed Cote D’ Ivoire 10-0 on Cote D’ Ivoire’s debut in 2015;

- And have now thrashed Morocco 6-0 on Morocco’s debut.
