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…

Return of Stella? I'll be on the lookout. Once American they take athleticism and fitness so seriously in sports. We're the opposite(Ofili saga)

Gift Monday.

Samuel Ahmadu.


Mary Akinsola is the new Super Falcons media officer.

Not Stella Abeg… If nah right winger now e for make sense. Okafor is Left footed but uses both feet’s effectively..

And we really needed a runner in that Attack, Cause upfront we were lacking that fast and furious kind of wide forward we used to have in the days of Stella Mbachu, Rita Nwadike, Vera Okolo, Chichi Igbo etc that would run at you with the ball and cause havoc…

Desire Oparanozie said Stella Mbachu is the Fastest Player she ever played with in the Super Falcons..

Asisat Oshoala nko??

Before the last AWCON, people had to shout and scream before she was included in the team. Now again she is being excluded.

Yeah. And she's a good performer. It's just unfortunate.

Deltamani:
Which Ihezuo??

Left with me Ihezuo no suppose see minute… I wish Imade was in the team she would have been my starting no.9

well she is the coach favorite

she is right
Stella was really fast

daveP:
Esther supposed start. But you have a point as this coach likes her style.

Chioma Okafor in Camp!

I hope the jersey against Portugal is not our confirmed jersey for AWCON

Cos of her speed precisely. I hope her teammates are in tune to that and i hope the manager is planning along side such an advantage too? No he where she go dey make runs and teammates go dey avoid or misplace pass o.

I so much love how Randy Waldrum praised Halimatu Ayinde in his recent interview with EaglesTracker..

He talked how tactically brilliant Ayinde is, and how she understands the game…

One of the reasons she should always start in midfield for the Falcons as long as she’s fit and still playing at the highest level giving her all… Ayinde isn’t perfect but she brings a lot of confidence and Calmness to that Midfield..

You’re right, I just hope her pace translates to the National team level because it’s a different ball game playing College and Pro Football..

...I second that....She does not get her flowers enough, she has always been that babe, she just does not the recognition enough....

I believe why many do not get their flowers enough (or no flowers atall) is because of the poor media hype around the team in entirety. Then add the journalists that have their faves or major focus too.

Imagine many just finding out about Echegini in the Cameroon and Portugal games, they finally called her Female Iwobi. Some dunno she even plays for PSG and Juve prior. Lol.

Ohale is one solid player that never gets her own deserved hype as well. Even if she seems reserved, the pen should do her justice alrounda.


No journo go see to hype Ayinde now, that it took Randy to do the needful away from the job o(Madugu don ever talk about the brilliance of an individual atall?) lol


We need the pen and camera to do justice to these guys abeg.

That's just it. If she were u20, they for no do am Courtney Dike levels. Na bench. 😂

Funny, but have heard Randy say the same thing about Halimatu in one or two other interviews.
He really holds her in the highest esteem, when it comes to the tactical nuances of the game and her overall field generalship and discipline as a professional.

Hopefully, this interview will be seen by Nigerian football loving fans and help them understand that this man had nothing but love for our ladies.

I think as for Ohale, Onome Ebi popularity played a part as well because she takes more of the praises whereas Ohale was literally covering a lot of ground for her as well..

Ohale walked into Super Falcons Starting 11 straight up after 2010 U20 World Cup, Won the WAFCON same year as a starter then with the team and was assigned to mark the Almighty Salimata Simpore then who was accused of being a man then..

In From 2007- 2010 we had Christy George who was even captain then, Ulunma Jerome, Onome Ebi, Lilian Cole, Faith Ikidi and Co as starters then.

This transfer doesn't make sense to me football progression wise. Maybe the financial incentive makes a lot more sense than staying in France, but kinda have missed feelings about her joining a team with no hope of playing in the champions league and competing for a title.

Oya now, go and sign her for your Club. Una think say e easy? Go where you are wanted. You can't force clubs to sign you.
Congrats to her. Club is in the Women's EPL equivalent so it's a great move too.

How Apart from Champions League Football, what else will she be missing?? Age is still on her side..!
The English league is way more competitive than the French league, a breath of fresh air for her, good pay and an opportunity to develop and she can as well move to any of the bigger top4 clubs in the league or even back to France to Lyon or PSG when the time come..

It’s a good move!

Brighton Finished 5th last season, there’s room for improvement and she will play alongside some England top internationals and other international players.

What’s more important is having a top Back up goalkeeper for her in the National team..

Solid interview. The insights about his WAFCON and post WAFCON challenges which he bore alone was very insightful.
I remember Colin Udoh dey cook am steadily then. If only he knew!

Randy confirmed he always had total control of his team selection. Sadly Nigerian factor, Justine Madugu doesn't have that. But I must add, the much I've seen about Coach Justine Madugu, he seems quite professional and mature. Good follow up to Randy.

Learn to disagree without sounding sounding pedestrian. It's obvious the move makes sense for her financially if not she wouldn't be signing, my concern was on her professional progression. Not playing in Europe and contending for a league title takes her out of being considered best in the world, something she obviously has a potential for. Hoping that Brighton makes a suprise run next season for her sake.
