If u feel this quote is picking on someone u are very sensitive.

She continued saying "Toni Payne did her best. I commended her effort a lot and I told her and said girl you did great. She tried her best but she's not up to that standard yet. She's a very good player and with time she will get there. But on that kind of game if they had me, even though I know I'm not going to last , I'm going to bring all I have......"

Her quote is a sugarcoating attempt. I don't need to be a fan or her enemy to see thru that. Thank God i was on that space too.


Not up to standard??


If they had me?

She should stop with that abeg.


If i am tagged sensitive for seeing through such statement about a teammate, especially as we all know the origin of the matter, then i can safely say you're insensitive to want to accept that as totally normal.
I'm an Arsenal fan and my club have faced similar situations and we saw how Aubameyang went about it and also how Ozil went about it.


What is the absolute guarantee that all she have was going to be the biggest difference that night? Absolutely no guarantee!!! Or is football suddenly 1+1=2?


I know what she's capable of, but leave that to fans to argue over. But But what??


If Zee, Ebi, Alozie, Rash, etc said what Ngozi said, it doesn't make it right or proper. I'll react same way. You don't do that to a teammate. It's crap.

More like you commend her to her face then came to the space to talk down on her ability.

Fifa announced officially that Lauren James will receive a two game suspension meaning she would be available for the Fifa Women World Cup Final.

A very lenient ruling for a disgraceful foul whether it had been out of character moment of madness it was deliberate act, Nigeria'S player received 3 games for a mistimed tackle in comparison.

Nonsense..

I watched some parts of the second half again.. Alozie was stepped on twice by Lauren James.

the 1st time they did not review it at all at around 60 - 67mins. it was the 2nd one they reviewed around the 83 - 87mins.

I think James was trying to get a reaction from Alozie so that Alozie could be sent off..

Another player also pulled her hair and was not carded or reviewed...

AndSunGorilla:
In my opinion the text above is quite bad from Okobi if these are her words
1) why compare Toni wit herself, if it had been me!!!!
2) So Toni is not up to that standard but she is?
3) so Toni didn't bring all she had?

Now she did say Toni is a very good player but then she followed up with all the "accolades" and ended up saying she would have done better.

I rest my case and I sing the Asake song to myself, "lonely at the top.....wetin u love o no be wetin I go love o"

iwo logbon ju is the perfect response to that nonsense Okobi pulled. That was totally unnecessary. Simple!!! Why that is hard for some to see beats me. You want to now come and tell me that she meant no harm cos she started the statement with "commendation"


The "But" that followed nko?


Inference-no Matter what Toni plays, I'm way way better than her and would not get tired easily like her.


🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Aspa na Kante she be!! Even Kante gets tired in some games that you don't expect him to.

Once again... It was totally unnecessary.

BascoVanVeli:
Keep the same energy. That's all I ask. Ngozi actually praised Toni but people can only see the bad.

Praise and Insult in same sentence in such manner is no longer praise. This situation is not the 1st to be vehemently opposed and it won't be the last either. And I'm not going to change the pattern for Ngozi all of a sudden. What is unnecessary is unnecessary!!

Deltamani:
I wonder if you were abreast with my post before quoting, This post was majorly for Halimatu Ayinde who did an excellent job policing Lauren James..!

England would have defeated Nigeria Soundly and nothing happened till 80+ they got a red card.

Maybe na England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 vs Niger 🇳🇪 match you watch

I don't think England would "have defeated Nigeria Soundly" whether James was marked or not. I mean this is a team that has so far scored 80% of their goal against a very bad and helpless Chinese side..

Nevertheless, Ayinde was superb and did a very good job. ( Not Forgetting Michelle too who didn't allow anybody playing on that wing breathe 😂😂)

lovewins:
Again, ill advised.

She's already saying things she shouldn't say.
How do you say (imply) Toni Payne isn't up to your creative level yet?

She still say many things she isn't supposed to say.

She said that? What an unprofessional tool 🤦‍♂️

Those "Accolades" are more of a backhanded compliment to Toni which seems very patronizing and condescending.... There are certain things you can't teach one in life...Class.

Fifa caved!! Didn’t have the guts to do the right thing!! Not surprised!! It should have been a three-game ban. What she did was deliberate.

As for me, its Japan🇯🇵🏆

If Ona like make Ona rate them 2%

Gotta get the "star" player to the final you know.....Watch how they'll prop up 2 of England, Australia and Spain to be at the finals. It's Good for viewership 🤦🏽‍♂️

All they care about is the "Ca-ching", they have to make their money somehow....

Bunch of corrupt fellows... ( Including CAF, UEFA etc )

Randy's next.

My Support goes to Japan and Sweden my second Country but it’s a pity both are facing each other…

Anyway JAPAN for the trophy 🏆

Ngozi Okobi simply lacks class. Imagine comparing herself to Payne who is way above her in footballing ability. Has she forgotten how she and Rita Chikwelu used to mess our midfield up? She will most probably come out tomorrow to deny making those utterances. Anyway, her national team career is over, as more players have come in/ are coming in.

Fifa will surely do ojoro for England to enter final.Am also supporting Japan for the trophy.

Our goalkeeper Nnadozie is indispensable o
We’ve never had a female goalie that good

That's why I had accolades in quotes. Totally unnecessary and like you rightly said condescending.

The song na for Basco and his POV which I honestly don't understand.

She's too good... Too good.
I kept rewatching that save from that corner against England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
Uzoho and Okoye in one goalpost would've conceded that no cap 🧢

I dey tell you. Can't understand how Waldrum finally showed her the exit door. Okobi, on her part, was simply a flash in the pan. Thank God we now breath a fresh of new air.

BankyGee:

Dede was good too.

Not fair from you, Rita Chikwelu still remains one of the best Midfielder Nigeria has produced no matter what, Age have caught up with her and ought to have Left the team about 2 years ago but didn’t which was a wrong one from her own side…


She deserves some respect, if you watch her play from U19 days you won’t say this…

AndSunGorilla:

I kind of rate Precious Dede at no.2 in the All time best SuperFalcons goalkeepers… She was very good too.!

Recency bias lol
People forget quickly

Ordega also is a shadow of herself
Ajakaiye reminds me of the younger Ordega
After the u20 World Cup
I see Nigeria starting with Ajibade & Ajakaiye on the wings.
Oh boy! Teams are in for big trouble

I agree with you on this.

I think her style had to do with her speed
She’s lost her speed
Due to age I believe
