I'm not sure how you can put the blame on Alozie. she's a winger that was converted to a right full back , she's also not bipedal and you put her on the left . She was also tasked with providing attacking width . what do you think will happen , obviously she will struggle and leave a lot of space . Imagine putting oshimen on the wing and saying he didn't perform well, obviously he won't . Everyone could see the way he set up the team , players will struggle . semid4lyfe: |

daveP:If he didn't like Alozie wouldn't he just bench her ![]() I am not here to defend Madugu as a coach. My own is about him not liking foreign born players. That's an unfair tag to put on the man, especially when u are twisting his words to do it. |

Anyways this is who I would like to take over. Sandrine Soubeyrand of Paris FC. IMO they have played some of the best football in France through the years, just that they don't have the same budget as the big dogs.

semid4lyfe:I agree with almost everything but the Alozie part. She was played out of position. Against Egypt, yes she was culpable for the 2 goals conceded. Against Zambia she won player of the the match. Against SA, she had no blame for any of the goals, she even had two goal attempts that were saved. Of course, Madugu has to resign or get fired but to your point, I will never agree with the double speak too. |

BascoVanVeli:This is even coming from an FB person o. Rinsola, Jennifer had good playing time at the tournament. Can't understand why Esther didn't get much game time tbh. At the end of the day, the coach has failed and that's not up for debate. |

do4luv14:This is another part of the Waldrum conversation many just ignore. This guy literally worked without pay for almost 2 years and we didn't hear him complain until they attempted to touch his squad list and he just opened the flood gates on other issues including the non payment of his renumeration. You won't find another coach of his pedigree willing to do that. |

Let me update you guys…. U20 are currently in Camp for the World Cup in Poland 🇵🇱 The Coach complained about the bad training pitch at the FIFA Goal Project in Abuja, instead of the NFF to do the needful they took the girls to Abuja Stadium 😂😂😂😂 What happened to the era of taking the team on a Training Camp abroad to a country similar to the host country for the players to get acclimatized with the weather conditions and everything?? Omor this NFF board need to go…. They gave us this dirty Madugu that made the SuperFalcons miss out on the World Cup.. Anywhere the head goes the body follows, so if Madugu one part of the body is to go, let the head themselves go as well… |
| Re: Nigeria Female National Teams' Thread by Schemerkhiz: 5:44pm On Aug 14 |
gomol:Nigeria can get a well known World Class Coach with that amount…. $400k — $500k annual salary, but they won’t risk it cause they will rather steal that money and come up with I give give the team $10k for each goals when things get rusty. |
| Re: Nigeria Female National Teams' Thread by Schemerkhiz: 5:53pm On Aug 14 |
To let you all know, The Women’s League Clubs are also another huge problem, not all of them though… Imagine a players contract expired last month and the player want to leave, she ask for her clearance form so that she can leave, Club management are sending her a Contract extension letter which is until 2028 season which she must sign before she can be cleared to leave the club😂😂😂😂 If you want me to post details and evidence I can still post… Nigeria Football Problem Plenty..!

BascoVanVeli:his usage of Alozie is as good as benching her. Totally ineffective. He expects her to defend and still attack out of position. So sad this is how it ends for her. He acted it out |
| Re: Nigeria Female National Teams' Thread by BascoVanVeli(m): 5:58pm On Aug 14 |
daveP:The same Michelle Alozie that won the penalty and almost tied the game at the end? Okay oh. |

lovewins:Lovewins, as always, your contribution brings much-needed rationality to these sorts of debate which are often guided by emotions and sentiments. I also fancy your analogy comparing Madugu’s tenure to the systemic realities of the Nigerian state. But personally, I still think you may be giving Madugu too much grace here with what he did to this team. I wasn't fooled one bit by the WAFCON win. We've won the African Women's Championship 11 times already before Madugu took full control of the team. You say his inputs possessed little to no consequence, I'd say his inputs, especially starting from the semi-finals of the last WAFCON we won, were actively destructive to the players. When (a) you don't have a coherent coaching philosophy that players can learn and stick to, (b) you don't even have a stable starting 11 and you keep switching up in every game, not allowing players to settle into certain roles and (c) when you pair players with other players they don't gel with or play players out of position, you're actively making things difficult for these players and increasing their workload, all the while disrupting their focus and affecting their decisiveness with your senseless "go! go! go!" barking from the sidelines. Which brings me to the Michelle Alozie bit. It's unfortunate that people can't see how this poor girl was set up for failure before the tournament even started. Any coach who does basic player scouting would have realized how ill-advised it was to keep deploying Alozie as a left-back, which is a role in which she has historically struggled in and clearly lacks natural positional instincts. As a right-footed, attack-minded fullback, playing on the left severely restricts her body shape, field vision, and passing angles. Alozie’s primary strengths lie on the right side, where she can overlap, combine in wide areas, or cut inside to deliver dangerous deliveries into the box. By forcing her onto the left flank without instructing a central midfielder or center-back to shift over and plug the gap during transitions, Madugu stranded her on a defensive island. And people are surprised she looked awful this tournament? No kidding! What do you expect taking a fish out of its fish tank? I'd also like to note that calling for complete NFF accountability and highlighting atrocious coaching are not mutually exclusive. Both statements are simultaneously true. The current NFF leadership is an administrative cancer. Assembling camp barely two weeks before a major tournament - when key rivals had over a month of preparation - and starving the squad of high-profile warm-up friendlies is pure institutional and logistical negligence. Not only did they frustrate Randy out of his job, they also exposed and accelerated the failure of coaches like Finidi and Madugu (however tactically inept they were) by failing to put proper preparation in place. This doesn't excuse Madugu. He's still tactically inept either way and we deserve better. The girls deserve better. |

Schemerkhiz: gomol:You don't need $500k to hire a world class coach for the super falcons. You need maximum $200k to get it done. You'll even get multiple options for a little less than that. The past and current Moroccan coach earned about $200k too. That gives you an idea of the going rate of coaches of that calibre. Also, there's no world where the NFF can afford to pay 500k for a falcons coach. They struggle to do that for the super eagles coach talk less then falcons. They should go find $120k-$150k coach with the promise of prompt payment. That's a lot more realistic in my opinion. |
| Re: Nigeria Female National Teams' Thread by Schemerkhiz: 8:58pm On Aug 14 |
NasirIbnLaAhad:The worst thing Nigeria could do is get involved in a discussion of "we would have won if X or Y started". Swap in your favourite player and the result doesn't change. All tournament we have been chopping and changing. The problem lies deeper than that. |
| Re: Nigeria Female National Teams' Thread by Schemerkhiz: 9:01pm On Aug 14 |
lovewins:$120k/$150k for this era? Then we’re not ready at all.. except they’re going to employ an Ex-SuperFalcons international as Coach or a Randy Waldrum type.! If Nigeria really need a World Class A-Level Coach then $250k and above at least ohh |
| Re: Nigeria Female National Teams' Thread by daveP(m): 10:47pm On Aug 14 |
Let's even address the wickedness by the NFF over salaries owed Waldrum that year. I think that era, he said 14months salary was owed. Instead of the NFF guys to bury their heads in shame, they came out to be doing "na lie. It's not 14. It is lower" back and forth. Such issues over Africa women's most successful team!! But Mohammed Sanusi, rumored to be taking $10k that year was getting his own alert without interruption to the rhythm of payment. These guys are collecting pay without doing anything worth it. We can't even see quality sponsorship for this team. This team has some terrible publicity. We didn't milk the publicity from the last world cup atallllll. Then the Presidency that promised the players $100k each..... Till now no solid conclusion if that has been paid all or na carpet cover mata. Fine! They got revenue issues. But that is why they need to work harder to drag in sponsors and all. Two gigantic teams in one country and nff can't even get sponsorship like the kind Japan and England are getting? NFF should be paying any coach 20k/month by now for womens and 250k/year. That's fair. And then i rem the funds pinnick got and saw how it was spent and i just miri |

The Super Falcons will be away to Comoros for a 2028 Olympic qualifier on October 5; with the 2nd leg holding on October 13… If the Super Falcons defeat Comoros, they will meet either Morocco or Congo Republic, in the 3rd round between February 23 - March 6… Overall, there will be 5 rounds of qualification matches, in the CAF zone, which will end between November 23 - December 4, 2027. Here, TWO teams will qualify to represent Africa at the Olympics. |

Schemerkhiz:If you’re in the Nigerian ecosystem The government or your Nigerian superiors will economically pu.nish you You can’t blame some people that k.iss a.ss Non existent labour laws to protect workers We have a lot of horrible attributes in our culture, politicians definitely want people to be po.or for sake of control Maybe why we will never get top notch leagues NTA for example has lost severe viewership, the fastest way to garner young viewers would be by showing all local league matches nationwide but they prefer to remain under the control of the government for propaganda Just guzzling government funds with no ROI |

If #TheNFF board, as a whole, refuse to resign, after making a dog’s breakfast of Nigerian football over the last four years, the federal government should cut off all funding to the federation and deny them the use of any publicly-owned sports facility until they do so. It’s as simple as that. Credit: Osasu Obayiuwana |

semid4lyfe:Can you name one player in that team with better interception rate, pass accuracy (especially long passes) and work rate than Alozie in this tournament? Just one. What you guys don't understand about Alozie is that she's not a full back or a defensive player at heart. She's not the player you can count on to be in the right position to defend dangerous chances. She's a playmaker that intercepts the ball at a defensive midfielder's depth and sets up attacking opportunities with accurate passing. Similar playing style as Arnold Lastly, that idea of defend your wing, is not emphasized in modern football. That a scoring chance came from the left wing does not necessarily mean that the left back is responsible for that. |
