I understand your bias and totally agree with it. Only problem is the ladies don't do regional qualifiers. It's the normal home and away against any country you are paired with unlike the men.
So u mean to see all this thesis was based on wrong assumptionhuh

It has always played out the same way. They will claim they need time to sort their future before committing to us but they wont turn down age grade invitations. They know that holding out till like age 27 and declaring for the african country is a tactic that rarely goes bad so far your career is still progressing on a normal level.
You guys are just gossiping like market women. This guy follows Eric Chelle on Instagram. He wants to play for Nigeria. Instead of being aggressive and convincing more players from the diaspora, you just assume that they dont want to play for Nigeria. Very soon Nigeria will slide into minnow territory with Somalia and Sao Tome. See how Dr Congo are recruiting players while you guys are calling for 40 year old Ihenacho to return. You guys here are jokers.

Folks, all the other confederations are setting up their qualification process in a way that the strongest teams represent the confederation at FIFA tournaments. Only in Africa do you see scenarios where the luck of the draw plays a huge part in who qualifies. I have said it before that if CAF is actually interested in making sure that the strongest teams in Africa qualify for the 2030 World Cup, they should follow this simple qualifying scenario.

There are 54 nations in Africa. Let us assume that Africa is allocated 9.5 slots for the World Cup and Morocco, being one of the hosts, has already qualified.

I will have 4 groups of 10 teams in the final rounds. The top 36 CAF teams, according to the FIFA ranking, are in the final round. The top 4 teams in Africa will be seeded. It will be Group A through D. The 36 to 54 ranked teams will play preliminary matches for the final 4 spots in the final rounds. The top 2 teams in each group qualify automatically for the World Cup. The 3rd placed team in the group that Morocco is in will qualify automatically. At the end of the final rounds, 9 teams will have booked their place. For the 0.5 intercontinental playoffs slot, the 3 third-placed teams in groups A through D qualifiers for the playoffs.

What's up with Tobi Amusan almost starting her runs poorly?

For years, this problem has persisted.

The player is following the coach on instagram? Oh wow, that eases my mind. Its not as if Tosin has posted his picture wearing our jersey on instagram while he is still waiting for an england call up at the age of 28. You better wake up to reality. DR Congo are recruiting players? Of course they will. Who else is fighting them for their players?. Switch the nationalities of those player and we will have equal chances of bagging them. DRC decided to pivot from fighting for players that have a fighting chance of playing for european countries and their rates improved. We are still stuck in fighting england for players of course we wont have much success rate. Look at their recent list and pick out players you are sure are very sure will have been capped by their european country if DR did not call them up.

Muiko of Ajax played for Belgium in a qualifier. He is good enough to play for Belgium but chose DrC because their federation unlike ours are serious. Some of the players like Ozoh are not even on England radar yet you assume they don't want to play for Nigeria. Dude plaYs for Derby County. Nigeria is his best option for international football. The problem with some of you is that because a high profile target regects Nigeria like Olise, you guys just assume non of Forien borns want to play for Nigeria which is just dumb. Lamine Yamal rejected Morocco but that did not stop Morocco from recruiting more players. You people need to wake up for real.

Akor Adams after scoring yesterday. A baller he remains but this move to Venezia is already looking like a sour one.

Venezia remains bottom of Serie A after 4 games.
4 matches, Zero wins, Zero draws, 4 losses.

Fiorentina were also on 3 losses until they met fellow bottom side, Venezia and bagged their 1st win of the serie A season.

Venezia is not pulling off a Como with this run. Things have to change or else they will be relegated.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇳🇬 CDM, Tim Iroegbunam on the bench for Hull City.


Alex Iwobi and Calvin Bassey©️ start for Fulham away at Liverpool.

Ola Aina starts fot Nottingham Forest away at Aston Villa. Somehow Glasner found a way to slot Munoz and Aina into the same XI. I told you Glasner loves that Munoz so much. Lol

Mokio played just the last 2 minutes as a sub for belgium, benched the next game and was never called up again since then. Belgium played 12 more games since then before the world cup and that brother never made the team list ever since but i should be convinced that he was stolen from the belgians. The derby county argument doesn't even stick because olise and Eze were already rejecting our invites from the championship. The players that want to play for us show signs, we have been down this road before. You can either join reality or still stay stuck in imaginary land. Its your call.

19y/o 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇳🇬 AM, Ethan Nwaneri starts for Dortmund vs Paderborn in the Bundesliga.

Recall that Ethan Nwaneri follows the Super Eagles on Instagram. But then he also naturally follows England too. Yet to debut for the Senior side of England and was overlooked to come off the bench in a friendly vs New Zealand while Rio Ngumoha got his senior bow same game.

Time will tell if we land Ethan or if he eventually slips away
