Referee Melissa Borjas did not award the SuperFalcons the clear penalty against England’s Lionesses.
Why did VAR room turn a blind eye 👁️ in that Situation?🤔

It was a perfectly weighted long ball from Ohale to Alozie who was making a run in the box and Lucy Bronze careless nudge her from behind…. Maybe until all this European top teams start bringing battle axe 🪓 into the field before they will blow against them.

Again what has the Corrupt CAF done about this issues the African teams are facing at the World Stage

Coach Randy Marlon Waldrum is a super coach. A man who knows EXACTLY what he's doing. His accomplishments with the Super Falcons 🦅 is never luck. It's work and hardwork put together that enabled him to build this world-class team.

Coach Waldrum lost 6 consecutive games after the draw against Morocco 🇲🇦 at the WAFCON in July 2022. During this losing streak saga, Nigerians lost their patience, myself inclusive, we called for his sack and the immediate termination of his contract, but he kept saying one thing, "I'm building," another loss, he said, "I'm building," he kept saying "I'm building," loss after loss after loss until we lost 6 consecutive games! Now we became furious! "What does he keep building that never gets completed?" We asked.

Little did we know that he was ACTUALLY BUILDING a team capable of writing and breaking history at will! A team that is able to keep Olympic champions, European champions and World Cup hosts on the edge of their seats after being given outrageous odds against these opponents. A team that could fight tooth and nail to grind out results where everyone has concluded they can't get a result! A team that metamorphosed from dominating only in Africa 🌍 to locking horns with and defeating big teams on the world stage. A WORLD-CLASS team.

After our 6 games losing run, this is coach Waldrum's diamond statistics with his Super Falcons 🦅:

✅ Only two losses in ten games played in 2023 (v. Mexico and Colombia in February)
✅ Scored 17 goals and conceded only 6 goals in 2023 (Keeping 5 clean sheets 🛡️, ten matches)
✅ Eight matches UNBEATEN streak 🔥 (April - Present)
✅ Seven unbeaten streaks against World Cup participating teams
✅ First UNBEATEN World Cup run for the Super Falcons (4 games)
✅ First African team to keep THREE clean sheets 🛡️ in the World Cup (4 games)
✅ Defeated the two hosts of the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup ([3]–[2] v. Australia 🇦🇺 and [3]–[0] v. New Zealand 🇳🇿)
✅ Made Nigerians proud beyond our pride scale.

I couldn't be more prouder. We have a world-class coach 🤵🏻

Coach Randy Marlon Waldrum 🇺🇸🇳🇬 is a brilliant tactician, an intelligent man and a certified Idan 💫🐐

NFF, RENEW HIS CONTRACT! ✍🏾

a team that hardly improve with each game is not world class abeg. A world class team that was finding it difficult to outclass their opponent despite the numerical advantage. They were just resolute to defeat

chop knuckle my broda. Benzina is her name. She's a calamity in the morocco defence. Against colombia, that was how she miskicked an offensive pass and almost cost an equaliser. I think those things she's wearing is affecting her performance. Esp her stockings. Unless she removes them

BascoVanVeli:
Watch Fransisca Ordega's highlights on the website. The first video u see when u click the link

https://naijabiasfootball.com/

from your video Ordega was okay, during the match I only saw her losing possession and wrestling the Eng:lish players.

Ordega is a forward player but she was playing both wing-back and midfield that Onyi Echegini was brought on to play and by the way that Echegini even ghosted more than Ordega.. I expected Ordega to have more offensive impact than defensive impact when she came on.

Ifeoma Onumonu Speaks

The day after Nigeria came so close to reaching the quarter-finals, we start the day with Ifeoma Onumonu's words, as we truly need to start doing better by our WNTs, Afrique. The players are doing their part; meet them halfway if not full way:

“In Nigeria, we don’t have access to much. Our training fields aren’t great. Where we sleep isn’t great. Sometimes we share beds.

“It’s not good enough. In terms of recovery, we don’t have much of any of that. We don’t have access to a gym in camp in Nigeria.

“There’s a lot that needs to be done. Hopefully, more people start to talk about it. Coming here it’s hard to adjust. We do what we can because we love playing for our country but hopefully they make it easier for us to do our best.”

NFF people won't like this.
This country is something else

I think she have nothing to lose apart from the NFF not allowing her Call up again..!

ThePresenceWtf:
Bro what such false equivalency did you just make? Your points are very much valid, but you literally chose the worst possible example to make your point.

I don't think it's that hard to understand. It means instead of focusing on the crime u are blaming the victim.

U saw someone else because those are all her touches. She was basically played as a fullback so she could only do so much.

Rewatched the pk. Omo they definitely didn't train for it. Desire stance alone is one of the worst in world of football for pk shootout. 9/10 that stood that way all missed. They've all apologized sha. To do that twice at crucial stages of two competitions no easy. Mixed feelings

its more about the role instructed by randy to play. Primarily it look like WB. Then at a point she looked like she was in CF position. I dunno, but it looked confusing, but she wasn't bad. That ref is terrible. I'll take Salma Mushanga (pardon my spelling) over her anyday

camri:
when we meet European teams, the gulf in class always show and we dont progress. African teams need to work hard. On the world stage, we are no where near the best

They are already working very hard but intelligently.

BascoVanVeli:
Alozie should have never been put up front. She was clearly our worst player when the change was made. She could barely hold on to the ball. When u consider Gift Monday's performance against ireland and the fact she scored a penalty in the last Nations cup, I can't understand not bringing her in that game.

Most Nigerians are funny indeed. I am not surprised the airwaves are filled with "Alozie should not have put up front" or even back. The bottom line is poor management especially having an agent as a coach. It should not be Alozie this or that but poor coaching session. The Falcon team was a glorified junk. I am very surprised the team scaled through group stage.

ThePresenceWtf:
Oparanozie has been gone before, I don't know why she was brought back in.....Where does she even ply her club trade now? China? Imagine!!

The act of a typical Nigerian who seems to get smart aftermath.

I completely forgot the coach could switch player positions and roles..

since she came on for Kanu I expected her to apply the same pressure and energy offensively that Kanu was doing effectively that's why I said she ghosted because Kanu was more offensive than her so to me Ordega was making our offense weaker instead of better.

Very enlightening, how cute!!

Former Barcelona Coach Lluis Cortés leaves the Ukrainian national team 🇺🇦 after his contract expired. There are some rumors that he is in contact with a club in the USA. Alternatively, will he take over a new national team after all?


Nigeria go get Him…. If they don’t want to retain Randy Waldrum.

Former Arsenal star wants to play for Super Falcons
Former Arsenal winger, Brooke Georgina Nunn has indicated an interest in switching allegiance to play for the Super Falcons of Nigeria, we gathered at Nigeriasoccernet.com.

Her mother is half-Nigerian with the family based in Lagos and her grandfather, Jackson Asiboje was one of the directors of a shipping company based in Apapa.

Georgina Nunn, who currently plays for Hibernian Women in the Scottish Women's Premier League, says she would be proud to represent Nigeria at the senior level.

The Super Falcons no doubt in recent weeks have made millions of Africans proud with their tenacity at the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand where lost out on penalty shootout to England in the round of 16.

With the Olympic games next international tournament in-line, Brooke Georgina Nunn will love to part of the Super Falcons team the world will be waiting to watch in Paris.

Roosa Ariyo Back to Finland🇫🇮

Striker Roosa Arivo joins KuPS on a contract valid until the end of the 2024 season.

Our very own Aerial Beast UCHENNA KANU…. Just need to take one or two tips from Legendary Abby Wambach and German Alexander Popp on they get to Finnish those wonderful headers…

Nigerian still da hunt them for Twitter….. Chiaaaaaeeee this girl buy Market

[quote author=ThePresenceWtf post=124974687]True, I've settled down and re-watched that game, Randy delivered a full regular time Masterclass, but delivered an Extra time Disaster-class....Watching that extra time did my head in.

First he switched to a back 3 ( Really Who does that? when you have a player advantage and need a goal? you decide to play with 3 CBs and yet none of the Outside Backs were instructed to underlap or venture forward, Plus also having a CDM, Smh )...He then proceeded to play his supposed Wing backs out of position... Michelle Alozie as a LWB ( Putting her in the worst position she could play, Why not allow her to be a marauding RWB, where she's more comfortable?....I mean, look...She had the best chance of the extra time when Jenni played her in, but because she's not adept at cutting in, she was forced to using her weaker foot and just shot wide off target )

Secondly, What was he thinking playing Ajibade as a RWB thereby limiting her creation and getting her far away from goal where she'd be more useful.

What was the reason behind playing Ordega centrally and as a SS? When has she ever performed in such position? She doesn't have the Spatial awareness to play as a number 10 nor a Trequartista...Instead of playing her out wide to put in crosses or run in-behind, she was busy stinking up the whole place in the middle....

Another one I couldn't understand was you decided to play long balls and crosses ( Despite England having a good Aerial CB in Millie and Carter ) but you decided to give your best aerial threat ( I know Kanu had be withdrawn at the time, but Oparanozie is equally adept in the air ) a withdrawn role instead of making her the focal point and sticking her in the box? She ended up being super useless and a net negative to the team...I truly can't remember anything she did right or even remember if she was in the game.

Last but not the least, What kind of tactics did we even employ in that extra time? Ashleigh could pass, but Demehin thought her teammates were somehow levitating and playing "above" everyone else that she decided to kick every ball long and up 😂😂...I mean, The Super Falcons had more crosses than the entire Catholic Church in that extra time....Oshoala did't even jump or contest for any single one of them...( She couldn't jump in any of the million crosses that came her way, but wanted to attempt a bicycle kick? 😂😂.) When a 5.6' Alozie wins more headers than you, there's a problem 🤦🏽‍♂️ ......I guess, our Tactics was just Cross and Insha Allah.

Don't get me wrong, I think the Girls tried and also played really well for the most part...The Staff also tried...But that extra time was a really painful watch and about undid all the good things they did 90 mins prior.

NB: Sorry for the long reply
Apt.
I expected more during that extra time. I was repeatedly saying they should get it done before the shootouts especially with a player advantage. I felt a tired Uchenna Kanu been on the pitch was a better choice than bringing in Ordega. Instead of bringing in Ordega, why not Monday Gift or Esther Okoronkwo. That game was ours for the taking especially during extra time. E still dey pain me reach now. Buh how man go do.....

It wasn't a direct replacement substitution now. But you saw Michelle Switch to the LW role, didn't you. Ordega coming in wasn't to directly replace Kanu. Those subs were changing the formation straight up.

As for weaker vs Better, I'd say the removal of pain did that more than the time Ordega came on. The long balls were terrible and that's where i missed Payne and Ayinde. As for her performance after replacing Kanu, I'll say it was okay but for a fresh leg, i expected more more from her. Infact all the subs fall my hand.

That Benzina is a terrible footballer. I didn't see her at Wafcon so how come she's starting here? Or na me no look well ni? SI Unit of Terrible defender from Africa. Despite being terrible, the french ladies didn't even bother taking advantage. They just played their game.

Randy made the English coach look like a youtuber for 90 minutes but he lost his ways during extra time. To keep it real and I know some won't like this comment but he made bias decisions at the end. He didn't just want to win, he wanted to win with "HIS" players. We have to remember the NFF blamed the players he brought in for the WAFCON loss and this would have been a perfect I told u so. I can't get mad at him because he is only human. The work he did with setpieces alone will always make him ok in my book.
