PSG+Lyon 🆚 Super Falcons 🦅

I'm so impressed. One thing I love the Falcons over the Super Eagles for is that, even when they lose, they lose with honor - they play with passion. When our Super Eagles lose, they lose stupidly and irritatingly, you will hardly be proud of them in losing, but we move.

Lastly, Ogun punish FIFA for leaving Nnadozie out of the FIFA best goalkeepers in the world. She's better than every person on this list, I've done my statistics and compared attributes. She's better! Without statistics seff, we no blind, why will Onana Earps be there and she's not? 😡

Re: Nigeria Female National Teams' Thread by TheSuperNerd(m):
No Deborah Abiodun, No Halimatu Ayinde, No Tosin Demehin, No Rasheedat Ajibade, No Asisat Oshoala. That is 5 top key players missing.

The team did very okay.in their absence. Impressed with #13 Shakirat Isa and #12 Shukurat Oladipo (came in for Alozie at RB). They held the forte well when they came on.


Our goal was superb. The ball carrying and swift passing transition in our counter attack from Blessing Nkor to Gift monday to Ifeoma Onumonu looks very much like 2013 Nigeria U17 Team featuring Yahaya, Awoniyi and Iheanacho. Clinical.


Finally, BankyGee is right. How FIFA managed to leave out Nnadozie from the FIFA The Best GKs nominees is absolutely bullcrap. Did enough this year and last season to earn it and showed again yesterday why she is indeed among the very best safe hands in the women's game.

The goal top marks to Onumonu. She showed she is in top notch physically fitness. I love her!

Blessing Nkor = received ball, calm acceleration and pass to Gift Monday 15 points

Gift Monday = Good thinking and tactical through ball for Ify Onumonu 25 points

Ify Onumonu = Smart thinking to start running pass Blessing Nkor (you can imagine Blessing should have continued running but she was tired), opening herself out to catch Gift Mondays through ball, and skillfully lifting ball over on rushing goal keeper. 60 points!!!

I wish we had also equalised. 😊🇳🇬👍🏾

All this plenty explanation how you wan prove am sef?

The person that started that attack even has more credit than Gift.
At least you spotted Blessing Nkor impact on that goal, she initiated the attack, thank goodness Monday Gift didn’t mess it up with her usual I too do kind of play.
Re: Nigeria Female National Teams' Thread by Deltamani: 1:50pm On Dec 01, 2024
I think Madugu need to note that we don’t have the necessary Resources to play his pattern of Midfield.. We thrive more in a double pivot CDM and with the players we have, Will he leave out two among the regular trios that are fighting for the CDM spot? Pairing two among the trio has been better with the first two as 1st choice.

1• Halimatu Ayinde
2• Christy Ucheibe
3• Deborah Abiodun


T Payne, Onyi Echegini and Esther Onyenezide as AM..

Didn’t get much as expected from Blessing Nkor in this game especially her Speed, let me just blame it on her debut and biggest game of her career first.. With time we will see.

Anyway, I wish we have another game as other countries where playing double.. NFF should try and get those teams ranked (11-25) Austria, Czech, Portugal, Argentina, Iceland and Russia for the team.
Re: Nigeria Female National Teams' Thread by Deltamani: 2:01pm On Dec 01, 2024
Echegini weakness is how to protect the ball when with it or when on a Drive just as the likes of Aitana, Alexia or even Rose Lavelle does..!

Toni & Echegini together is definitely a no. If we play Ucheibe as DM, we need Ayinde or Abiodun to close, scan or track the space left behind down..

I was confused with her pressing cos that is totally opposite of the Blessing i know. That's why i attributed that to coach instructions. However her quick decision making, esp the one that led to the goal was expected. Her replacement was more impactful on defending than attacking.

As for Adoo, the moment cam caught her and Christy talking and pointing, i immediately caught a meaning. The instant removal kinda justified it. We need to fix that middle, not cos all are not talented enough, but cos of the syncing.

If Imuran upgrades, she just might become a Theo Hernandez of sort. Or should i say TAA? I don't see her flourishing in defending. Tooo leaky, shaky and scary.

Nff would rather look away and justify the Algeria and France friendlies as prep. Anyways, when serious Waldrum replacement comes, Netherlands and Denmark should be compulsory games.


I got fed up with the usual local coach screaming on touchline yesternight.

Nnadozie no get 2nd right now and that scares me. The search continues.

Nnadozie replacement is actually a big thing and the Coaches seem not to be ready for that which is bad.. She isn’t fit either because she was playing through pain. I was just praying yesterday that she shouldn’t injure again if not Paris FC go too vex cause they have PSG if am not mistaken as next opponent..


The Home based goalkeepers haven’t done enough, they’re best as 3rd choice at least for inclusion sake.. They should go scout abroad, USA and Europe are a good location to at least get one.

Oyibo Coaches and Foreign born can be grouped alike.

There are a particular set of people who keep clamoring for Nwabali to be displaced as Super Eagles number 1, despite the fact that he hardly puts any wrong step forward.

Same set of people believe Okoye can do no wrong, even if he concedes goals wearing the green. Runs away and then chooses his own time to return.

Let's emancipate ourselves from mental slavery. Non but ourselves can free our minds.

My point was all about giving her a chance to prove herself, I never said she must be the team goalkeeper.
Re: Nigeria Female National Teams' Thread by naptu2: 6:40am On Dec 02, 2024
NFF president speaking after the game against France.

1) He said that he promised Nigerians that they would organise friendly matches for every FIFA window and this is one of such matches. He says that they are working on organising another match during the next window in order to prepare the Falcons for WAFCON.

2) He said that some home based players were discovered during the friendlies with Algeria and then they were introduced into this match against France. He is promising that there will be more grade A friendlies, so that the Falcons can compete against the best in the world before WAFCON.

3) He wants more investment in female football and he is looking at how to make it mandatory that all our clubs have female teams. He said that this is what is happening in other parts of the world and he wants it to happen in Nigeria.

That’s football for you, you can play well and end up losing..

USA not with their regular starters upfront though. But again same with Netherlands some of their starters were also missing due to injury, Why do we always have to mention absent players? Lyon's Damaris, Chelsea's Nouwen, Arsenal's Pelova, Wolfsburg's Caitlin, and Man City Miedema too.


Congratulations to the US for winning but the Dutch side taught them a good football lesson today.

Oga calm down, I would blame this on the Coach and the NFF to some extent because Randy Waldrum didn’t leave the team in a bad state, the team was already at 60% getting compact & better, All they needed was a better tactician and gradual incorporation of the new players not this massive roster turn over they’re doing..

Talking about rebuilding, what are they rebuilding?? Is the team dead down? NO..!! Why not build on what Randy left behind, this trying by error they’re doing with Coach Madugu better stop is either the appoint him on a permanent basis so him and everyone will know that he’s fully the Coach as well.

Again some of the big teams like USA, France, Spain Germany and England have most of their players playing for a Particular club, just like someone here said the Falcons played against Lyon + PSG (France).

Spain their team is dominated by players from Barcelona and Real Madrid

USA mostly players from Gotham FC & Washington Spirit.

The Germans have players mostly from Wolfsburg VFL and Bayern M

England is dominated by mainly Chelsea and Man City with Arsenal Ladies..

Only the Netherlands that i see are doing well with players from other top leagues in Europe.

Nigeria doesn’t have the league to give us such a team right now.
