Nkor bringing that raw pace and power to the flank, something we seem to be lacking in the attack.

Im glad for the inclusion of those two.


Noticed you've stop updates on Elisha Sulola. What's up with her pls? I wish Macleans was invited though.

She moved from Valencia CF to Sporting De Huelva

Looks like a downgrade. Division 2?

She moved from Valencia CF to Sporting Huelva, a D2 side in Spain. I hardly follow D2 teams apart from France 🇫🇷..

I will try and see if I can get their games which will be very difficult, can’t post just ordinary infos here when I don’t have details of how she’s fairing overthere.

Yes.
They got relegated last season from the Liga F, even though she has been getting to play the full 90. I also wouldn't rule out a move for her in the next transfer window.
The Spanish div. 2 is still more competitive than some of the other leagues which some of our ladies play for.
Its all about testing out if she will make a good fit.

Yeah yeah really wanted to see Blessing Nkor on the big stage, She’s good, We needed fast players and she’s one of them who can bring that threatening pace and power upfront..!

After a failed Deal with PSG 🇫🇷 and Lokomotive Moscow in Russia🇷🇺. I hope things fall into place next Transfer Window.

I had to go with Favour Emmanuel right now, she has really grown a lot at Lokomotive Moscow, Pairing her with Ucheibe on a Double Pivot would have been great.. She’s another double Lungs 🫁 player who get hard on her Ball recoveries, Her passes look good also.

Means she really wants just Spain stay. I believe she had offers outside but probably didn't want to.

Im smiling at a linkup between her and Rinsola already. And with JOE behind. Oh my!!

I did, thanks to bring her to my attention.
Like her command of the midfield and her fight in the midfield. Also seems to have big lungs on her.
Would like to see how she maps into the SF team, if able.

If Madugu doesn’t Start Monday Gift…

Rw- Blessing Nkor, CF- Ifeoma Onumonu and LW- Rinsola Babajide should be the look out for..

I notice Madugu plays only 1DM with 2CM/AM on both sides going to & fro while working with the Wingers and Fullback..

So Ucheibe, JOE and Payne might start together..

I think Nigeria are good at producing very Strong Defensive Midfielders who are good at ball recovery and cleaning up the mess in Midfield..

Favour Emmanuel should be look out for with Ayinde aging already..

Same thing going on with Maureen Umeh, she love it there in France …. Her dream of playing for PSG is just so special to her, I hope it comes to pass.. She’s still young though.. 22yrs

I doubt he'll want to start Ify anyway. But that middle is precise.

Wondering why the invited Ado anyway

at least we know which big team Maureen is targeting. Sulola dey target Madrid or Barca? Abi na Athletico Madrid(suits her more)

How does the call-up to the Super Falcons of Nigeria work? Is it based on a quota system or do the coaches just pick randomly? Or is it the NFF that recommends players to the coaches? I don't understand how we would have such talented and in-form players in Europe and not give them a chance to prove themselves. With the absence of the dependable Rasheedat Ajibade, names like Esther Okoronkwo, Uchenna Kanu, Macleans Chinonyerem etc., I thought it was best to give a look out for the current most in-form forwards we have in Europe. How can you have talented, fast, and skillful youngsters like this that are hot in the various top leagues in Europe and not give them a look? Nigerian coaches are just so bad at taking advantage of in-form players, Madugu and his Coaching Crew need to do better...

For instance, Joy Ugochukwu Omewa, a 21-year-old CF playing for Fortuna Hjorring Women in Denmark🇩🇰, has played 14 games, scoring 11 goals and 4 assists. She's currently the top scorer in the Danish Elitedivisionen Women. Another example is Edna Imade, a 24-year-old forward playing for Granada CF Women in Spain🇪🇸, who has played 11 games, scoring 7 goals. She's currently the 3rd top scorer in the Spanish Liga F Women.

Club; Fortuna Hjorring Women, Denmark 🇩🇰
Age: 21yrs (01.12.2002)

There's no selection that any coach will make that everyone can be pleased 100%. Agenda must agenda

Buts jokes aside I do understand that better scouting can be done, and more merit involved (less emotions ...selecting based on relationships or possible financial gain).

Abeg why is Abiodun's name missing? Also is Ihezuo injured and Regina Otu as well. Surprised that Nicole Payne was also left out,same with Onyenezidane.

Finally are the home based players chosen, the best home-based players currently, just suprised they are majorly from Nasarawa Amazons?

The truth is the best Home based players are running to the smaller leagues in Europe ( Turkey, Israel, Albania, Kazakhstan, Lithuania etc) and even Morocco for the Money and better development while the remaining ones ain’t even considered but their personal players are brought in instead.

Valid point. That said, my question was and is still of the HB chosen, are these the best ones currently plying their trade in 9ja. If they are, then all well and good.

Chiamaka Nnadozie is on the list to Play against France, but the truth remains that she’s recovering from an injury and very uncertain to Play against the Blues💙💙🇫🇷 ⏳

Onyi Zogg is Strong though because with the rate of her injuries she for don stop!

Same happened to Patricia George

Hmm, then I would ask a out Eluehi? Is she also injured? It's a big task for any of the other GKs called up to start by facing France. Not impossible but a big ask as Enyeama started his int'l career against England.

The thing is if those two alternates called up had quality we wouldn’t be worried at all.. One of the reasons the Coaches need to go hard on scouting for goalies especially home & abroad.. Nnadozie might be okay to play as she has been rested by her club in their past two league games. A 60% fit Nnadozie is still far preferable than any of those two..

I have watched her play and sincerely I am not impressed.

Babra Banda is the BBC Women's Footballer of the Year.

She's the second African to win it after Asisat Oshoala won the maiden edition in 2015.

People are complaining in the comments section. They say that she's a man and that she's not British.

Biologically she’s a Woman but with a Man’s attributes.
