The main positive from this result is that the SF ranking would improve, Portugal are ranked 22nd, while the SF are 36th

When is the falcon next game and against who...it is about to be a lovely run for lovers of international football and basketball,as June and July is packed with action..The falcons going for their 10th tittle, the d'tigress going for 7th total(5th in a row), the dtigers going for their 2nd possible tittle and U19 ladies (basketball) will be competing at the world stage..

TheSuperNerd:
Ordega hit the crossbar from there? Damn. Audacious strike.

To think that Nigerians never gave her a chance to perform.

I didn't but she gave a good account of herself. Of course not like yesteryears but she still has some left in the tank.

u17 goalkeeper?🥹🥹🥹

We were clamoring for those from U20/ those playing abroad you’re bringing in U17 right now? What makes you think she’s a better choice than the likes of Omilana, Okeke, Akarekor etc??

Not necessarily gk, but one good performer from there. These ones too are not bad either.

AkinDS:
That might be too much pressure on someone like Moshood, considering the U17 WC is around the corner…

That double appearance thing doesn't sit well with me. But it is what it is.

KosiGee:
Atrocious errors like the one from Demehin shouldn’t be happening. Silly back passes like that and lack of spatial awareness shouldn’t be happening to a player like Demehin

Symptoms still persist sadly.

PDPGuy:
The team has to cut down on unnecessary giveaways in the midfield, or else it could come back to bite us in Morocco..

Otherwise, I’m satisfied with the midfield’s 2nd half performance, as they’ve mostly stifled their Portuguese counterparts

It will be a tragedy if the Midfield performance at this upcoming Wafcon is below or equal with the 2022 wafcon own that messed up and changes had to be made.

Unlike 2022, our (likely) starting midfield trio of Ayinde, Echegini, and Ucheibe would be major upgrade.

Ucheibe was guilty of a couple of those unforced errors, truth be told. I still believe that the midfield could have done with an additional enforcer (like Favour Emmanuel) in place of Ijamilusi or Ordega (in spite of her performance today).
Considering the fact that the North America contingent of Oshoala, Ihezuo, Chioma, Deborah, Alozie and Esther were absent, as well as not having any training session before this game, I thought they acquainted themselves well.
Over the next 2 weeks of intense training before the start of the competition, the team should be able to work out most of the cobwebs and should be ready for the challenge ahead.

Location for this match?
And what's our itinerary going forward?
Continue camping in Portugal or move straight to Morocco?

Overall, a good game yesterday.
Franny was a big surprise. Mama still got it surprisingly.
I've never been a fan of Onumonu due to her lethargic performance up top. Okonkwo in her position yesterday and we would have got a goal in. I hope she prove me wrong in Wafcon though.

Excellent display by Chiamaka.
Shukurat is good. I like her athleticism. Miracle, on the other hand didn't really impress. Stage fright maybe.

I still want to see Ajibade in midfield please. Jenny/Tony can shift to the wing.

Ordega flopped as a No 9 in the first half but was excellent when they switched her to her natural position in the second half- the wings.

She has never shown a quality for Super Falcons.

Onumonu had a good game though in my opinion. Ayinde and Plumptre's intros really solidified the team. I think Rinsola,Dupe and Echegini are capable of more than they did.

I want to see the new girl Chioma play against Ghana on June 29th.

Onumonu lethargic? Were you refering to yesterday's game cause she was one of our better players.

Good game by GM!!! That cramp at the end is why she wasn't invited fornthe AWCON.

There was intelligence report of an impending injury scare that's why she was excused.

On a serious note, Gift should have been invited. Who to drop for her, I don't know!!!

Meanwhile as Chioma Okafor is still a student, can she collect camp allowances etc from 9ja? I remember this fine lady back then, Emenike's cousin couldn't receive money then cos she was playing college soccer.

Okay… So Chioma Okafor was literally participating in 3 Sports when she go to the US earlier on before finally settling down with Football..

She won several awards doing that as well. https://www.facebook.com/share/r/16mb4vCgUv/?mibextid=wwXIfr

She runs track, plays Basketball and Football

100M, 200M and 4X100M as well us Long jump and triple Jump.., her team broke the 13years school record of 4X100 relay…

I think rules have changed significantly since then. At the time student athletes couldn't legally earn while I'm school, now they get millions of dollars in NIL deals so it's very likely rules on this has changed too
