What it means is that they might throw off the yoke of our dominance soon just as we did Cameroun who were a thorn in our flesh in the 80's and 90's.

If Super Falcons had met Ghana, they'd beat them squarely. We beat them enroute WAFCON by 3-1.
I've been saying this too, we even used like our second XI for that game. In this competition, we might just PSG-Inter them if it was them we were going to meet in the final.

They are not our match. Even Morocco are not our match but they have the boisterous home support. When we met them in 2022, even with 9 players they couldn't beat us. It was via penalties that we lost.

But I pray they don't experience what SE experienced at the last Afcon. We beat SA and lost to the host.

I personally think before the 2010s, the Nigeria-Cameroon rivalry was more evenly balanced. Cameroon did beat us in three finals where it mattered most (AFCON 1984, 1988, 2000), but we still had many matches in those periods where we beat Cameroon handily. And in the past decade, Nigeria seems to have completely dominated Cameroon... at least for now.

Contrast this with South Africa. Until very recently I can't think of any period in time where they really gave us issues. We've always had games with them in the bag for the most part. At least when it comes to the men. It's a bit tighter with the women I'll admit.

South Africa are gradually becoming the powerhouse they used to be in the late 90s, so we'll have to wait and see how long it will take before they break the Nigeria curse, but for now, they remain our children in football. grin

Speaking of which, I wonder when we'll break the Argentina curse too. I'm tired of them seeing us as a 3-point guarantee in international competitions. angry

They were in the QF of the Conference League last season and they're one of the big 2 of Slovenia. It's not so bad.
I agree, not that bad.

But, see it this way, he got a slot because he's homebased, not because he's got any skill set we lack in the team.

He's now moved to Europe and then we compare him to his counterparts in Europe and find that he isn't measuring up and stop calling him, replace him with another homebased player to satisfy the quota.

How do we build a team that way?

Chelle has removed the Rangers/Remo Stars dominance. BTW, I would have thought certain players like Papa Daniel should have played CHAN before jetting out.
@Basco what's your assessment of the squad list by Chelle? I really like Atule and Ayomide Cole but they were dropped. Wishing the team all the best.
We're going without an actual recognised defensive midfielder in the squad, and an entirely diffrent midfield from those that qualified us against ghana, also some key names during the qualifiers were left out probably due to chelles tactical preferences. Overall I wish the team the best

I think some of the guys that qualified have japaed, Papa Daniels, Fatokun and maybe the Rangers guy Savior too. I am interested in actually watching them play when the tourney starts.

Yeah, I remember the Musa guy. Don't know why Chelle decided to drop him.

Moses Aduku, U-20 coach ( Falconets). He replaced Chris Danjuma.

Manu Garba, U-17 coach (Golden Eagles).

Latest appointment from the NFF
Manu Garba again? What kind of backward thinking people are running our football. Lack of foresight.

Liverpool FC has a deal package discussion ongoing with Newcastle United to sign Alexander Isak for a guaranteed £130 million, with potential performance-related add-ons. ✅

The deal also includes a 6-year contract worth around £280,000 per week, plus performance-related bonuses.

It could be agreed before next week...

It's the best move for him,that's game time in a team in the top 8 leagues in Europe. He won't get enough game time for his development at Brentford because he's down the pecking order in the CBs of the club.

Just like our politicians there’s no other more meaningful livelihood outside football for these folks and they do not evolve or develop themselves further to diversify their careers
