If they play the way they played S.A at the Olympics then Brazil Spain will eat them up.

Gift Monday played well in the World Cup and it's important to start grooming and training them for National first team football.

Lol ๐Ÿ˜‚
Youโ€™re sounding as if the SuperFalcons wonโ€™t prepare for the Olympics, they will just sit down and not work! 15games unbeaten, you think they will relent??

Chidinma Okeke seems to have reinstalled herself into the SuperFalcon Squad, I fear for Rofiat Imuran to be sincere!

Chidinma Okeke gives you a lot of Options LB, RB and CB, she just need to improve in her Attacking side of the game and also play her way back to the top leagues in Europe!

Some Persons here did wrote her off though, that she was heavy this and that..! At least she proved everyone wrong that she can attain her usual level and better still get better.

It's Nnadozie that has been saving the Super Falcons. If she gets injured who is as good as her

Another thing is SF needs another tall and fast Center Back so that Christy Ucheibe can play midfield because unlike the England match where SF controlled the midfield in this South Africa match S.F lost the midfield in the 2nd half.

Esther Onyinizidane needs to also be groomed and trained for national first team football.

And still!!!And Still!!!
Undefeated in 15 games.
That was a masterful, fantastic exhibition in world class defending.

That wiley old fox named Randy Waldrum - look how he made the SA team look very ordinary. That first half was just a beauty to behold.
Our Naija ladies are now the masters of defence!!

I wonder how he manages to convert natural strikers to defenders. His game is a bit too defensive.

You have no idea how extraordinary that feat is. Since the 90s this is the first coach that has helped get the falcons to play defence. We couldn't play defence to save our lives. Go look out our defensive record at the world stage.

With time the offence will sort out itself. The midfield that was shambolic seem to be taking shape now too.

Okay!
I will be the first to stand up and eat humble pie that's due.
I said Okeke wasn't impressive from the videos of her I saw playing in Japan. I called her sluggish and heavy and doubted her being invited. Boy - was I wrong. Very wrong!
She put in a masterclass performance over the two legs and most especially, today. She stood up to be counted as one of our warriors.
My Lady of the Match!

Fun Facts:

Following their 2024 Paris Olympics qualification, The Super Falcons have now been unbeaten in their last 10 Olympic qualification matches, with the last loss being a 2-1 reverse to Equatorial Guinea in August 2015โ€ฆ

Super Falcons have gone 12 consecutive home Olympics qualifiers without a loss - since the inception of the dedicated Olympics qualifying campaign in 2003, the Super Falcons are unbeaten at home..

Okeke is back in full, but where does she comes in?? Left or Right Back??

The Roaster for the Olympics is very very thinโ€ฆ If they stick to the 18, itโ€™s going to be difficult for Randy to pick his 18players even though he knows them too well, everyone of them need to be on their toes! Stay fit and play well.

Yea... she really tried.
Remember I was sceptical about her invitation before the double header. I just want her to exert herself more.

Re: Nigeria Female National Teams' Thread by AkinDS: 9:25pm On Apr 09
1. False. Nnadozie has been doing what she is supposed to do as the #1 keeper. The team, especially defense, has also being doing its job.

2. False. Go and watch the match again. As the home team with a few mins left in the match, SA upped its game (something they struggled to do all game long). At no point in time did the SF cede the midfield or any other area to SA during the game.

3. Heck Nah! Please stop trying to force players who are certainly NOT good enough and have a ways to go on our SF team. That girl is a greenhorn at this level and needs to grow. Let her be!

Falcons defeated South Africa 1-0 on aggregate and made their way through to the global games fiesta for the first time in 16 years.

I see a minimum of 5points from this Group!
If at all we didnโ€™t leave up to the Billing it becomes 4 Points.!

Still missing a true, out and out left back.
Okeke is a right footed player who doubles as a left back.

Iโ€™m the past we have used Right Footed Left Backs more than Natural Leftiesโ€ฆ Faith Ikidi, Helen Ukaonu, Faith Ikidi whoโ€™s the best Left Back till date is Right footed..

Okeke is no Stranger to that Position as she has been playing in Multiple positions right from FC Robo before joining the National team, You forget so soon that at the U20 World Cup she was a Center Back, Played mainly as Right Back for the SuperFalcons earlier on before coming in sometimes as CB or LB!

At Madrid CFF she was a Left Back in 98% of the games she played.. Going to Israel ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ she played Left Back and Right Back!

In Japan more as a CB/RB

Her versatility will definitely make Randy have her more in the team, Letโ€™s just agree that sheโ€™s a Defender (FB/CB)

The Falcons and the supporters.

(South Africans are still blaming Desiree Ellis for taking the game to Pretoria. The stadium is near Sunnyside, where a lot of Nigerians live).

This is just the qualifiers. They will definitely play more coordinated football at the Olympics.

I am particularly pleased with the way they set up to dominate play, today. This is South Africa, AWC champions, that we just played in Pretoria. We were the better team today.

The Nigerian team has obviously improved from that last AWC while SA are still in the dream land of being the AWC champions
