BascoVanVeli:
Where is Uchechi Sunday? The girl played and scored in the champions league, to me she is our best striker.

TheSuperNerd:
Ini umotong recently signed for Oxford Utd ladies. She's no more with Portsmouth ladies.

She's not the only one missing from the 40-woman squad.

Other notable absentees:
-Courtney Dike
-Precious Dede (maybe she's retired)
-Sarah Michael (if they called back Rita Chikwelu, wonder why Michael was left out)
-Cynthia Uwak (she's still active)
-Alaba Jonathan
-Tochukwu Oluehi


Alaba and Oluehi are Goalkeepers. Though we have 4 goalies in that 40-woman list. (Okeke, Ohieraku, Whyte, and Chichii)

Meanwhile, are you saying you'll pick Iniabasi Umotong (a super goal banger for her former side, Porthsmouth ladies) over Desire Ugochi Oparanozie??

NLban:

Yes I will, its high time we begin to shop for younger and hungrier forwards since Oparanozie has continued without the needed Desire. Can you tell me one complete dribble she made during the last World Cup? She finds it difficult to cause serious damage to opposing defenders.

olapluto:
Nigeria has upcoming strikers who are capable of filling the boots of Desire.
Uchechi Sunday
Courtney Dike
Ihezuo
Aminat Ajibade

TheSuperNerd:
Hey uhmm.... If it's argument you want, I'm not giving it.

But just one question, How old (or how young) is Oparanozie? (You make it sound like she's "old"

**she was 18 at the Fifa U-20 Women World cup 2010 and 20 at the Fifa U-20 Women World cup 2012**

Umotong over Oparanozie?? Maybe others in the house will answer that. #smiles

NLban:

I think the problem with me is that, I expect too much from her. Believe me she is not the player I knew during her days with the U20s.
She didn't do much as I had expected in our last matches before the end of last year. No arguments intended though.

CFCfan:
I can't change the name cos it got to the front page last year

denniece1:
Guys, any news about oshoala, it was reported weeks back that @lfcladies 'reluctantly' accepted an offer from @arsenalladies. @arsenalladies recently released their squad for the new season and she wasn't part of it, Liverpool (on preseason in SA without her) hasn't made any mention of her since then same as arsenal, she also hasn't said anything yet.

13 of the Best Women's Football Players in the World
[/size]
https://images.90min.com/production/912x516/56dec783c4abef6235000001.jpg

It's International Women's Day today*, and ​what better way to celebrate that than to take a look at some of the brilliant women at the top of the game?


It's pretty perfect timing all-round really, with four of the world's top teams (Germany, USA, France and England) currently facing off in the SheBelieves Cup in the States while in the UK, the Women's Super League kicks off in just over two weeks time.


Let's get going, shall we?


*International Men's Day is on November 19, before you even ask. Sod off, you whiny crybabies.

13. Marta
https://images.90min.com/production/912x516/56dec284e638cc5a86000001.jpg

For a number of years, Marta was women's football's undisputed number one. She won the World Player of the Year award a phenomenal five times in a row between 2006 and 2010, and is the Brazil team's all-time leading scorer with over 100 international goals. Oh, and she's still only 30.

Marta is a phenomenon.

Yet for all of her individual brilliance, major trophies have always eluded her. Silver medals at the 2004 and 2008 Olympics sandwiched a runner's up medal at the 2007 World Cup, but the blame lies more with Marta's team than with the star herself - currently standing as the World Cup's leading scorer of all time with 15 strikes on the world's biggest stage.

12. Alex Morgan
https://images.90min.com/production/912x516/56dec2df9c34b8c088000001.jpg

One of the USA's new generation, but at just 26 years old Morgan has already cemented her place in the pantheon of American footballing greats.


Already topping 100 caps and 60 goals for her country, Morgan's composure under pressure was shown as recently as last Sunday, with a stoppage time goal to beat France in the ongoing SheBelieves Cup.


Even that was nothing compared to her starring role in the USWNT's 2012 Olympic campaign though, a 123rd minute goal (no, that's not a typo) clinching victory in the semi-final against Canada. That goal was one of just 28 international goals she scored in 2012, to go with 21 assists.


Once again - that's direct involvement in 49 international goals in a single calendar year. She may not have hit those statistical heights since, but her all-round play hasn't dipped in the slightest. She's already equalled her 2015 total of seven goals this year, with many more games and an Olympic campaign to come.

Look out, record books.

11. Dzsenifer Marozsán
https://images.90min.com/production/912x516/56dec3109dac602465000001.jpg

Marozsan comes from solid footballing stock - her father Janos making four appearances for the Hungarian national team way back when - but when it comes to success, she's got the old man beaten.


Since she became the youngest ever player in the Bundesliga at just 14 years and seven months, the now 23-year-old Marozsán has been on a path right to the top. More than 50 international appearances and a Champions League win later, she's already there - expect to see her lead the German team for most of the next decade.

10. Kadeisha Buchanan
https://images.90min.com/production/912x516/56dec347c4abef54b6000001.jpg

Another young star, Buchanan was only 19 years old when she made her mark on the World Cup in the summer, slotting into the heart of the Canadian back four on home turf.


Her endless energy and athleticism impressed, winning her the Young Player of the Tournament award, but a quarter-final defeat at the hands of England ensured there was to be no fairytale for the Canadian team.

9. Hope Solo
https://images.90min.com/production/912x516/56dec4539c34b88cc0000001.jpg

Solo remains possibly the best-known player in the women's game, and single-handedly proves the lie behind the stereotype of female goalkeepers being the sport's main weakness.


The rock at the base of one of history's most successful women's teams, Solo finally added a World Cup winner's medal to her two Olympic golds - winning the Golden Glove award for goalkeeper of the tournament for the second edition running.


At 34 years old and with nearly 200 caps to her name, it wouldn't be a surprise if Solo was looking to hang up the gloves soon. But her form is as good as ever, going 540 minutes between goals conceded at the World Cup, and there's no reason for her to give up any time soon.

8. Lucy Bronze
https://images.90min.com/production/912x516/56dec47d9c34b8f455000001.jpg

The star of England's unexpected run to third place in last summer's World Cup, Bronze took the opportunity to show a global audience what any WSL fan already knew - that she's one of the toughest defenders in world football.


Primarily a right-back, but capable of playing anywhere across a back four (or even in front of one, if you're feeling greedy), Bronze added a place in the World Cup team of the tournament to the back-to-back WSL titles she won with Liverpool.


Oh, and her middle name is literally 'Tough'. Seriously.

7. Lisa De Vanna
https://images.90min.com/production/912x516/56dec49ac006da12d600001f.jpg

The Australia skipper has never stayed at a club for longer than a year, burning through 16 different teams in a decade, but the club scene isn't where greatness is forged in women's football.


Of old, De Vanna crafted herself a role as the perfect super-sub, coming off the bench to burn tired defences with her searing pace. Now older and with that famous speed lessening (only barely), De Vanna leads from the front and from the start for the Matildas.


With all-time leading scorer Kate Gill dropped from the Australian squad in the summer, it's only a matter of time before De Vanna snatches the record from her old hunting partner.

6. Anja Mittag
https://images.90min.com/production/912x516/56decbdee638ccfbee000001.jpg

Celia Sasic's shock retirement at the age of just 27 in the summer has left Anja Mittag as the leading forward in Germany's team once again - and with well over 130 international appearances, she's got the experience to back it up.


Mittag will have to make sure she's at the top of her game as young Alex Popp nips at her heels, but her five goals in last summer's World Cup show that she's still got what it takes to be one of the very best at the top level.

5. Amandine Henry
https://images.90min.com/production/912x516/56dec5159dac60d65c000002.jpg

​One of the bright stars of an ever-improving France team, Henry's performances over the last couple of years have earned her recognition at the very highest level.


The 26-year-old finished as runner-up in voting for the Player of the Tournament at the 2015 World Cup and being named the second best player in Europe last year behind the now-retired Celia Sasic.


A defensive-minded midfielder by trade, Henry isn't short of a sprinkling of the spectacular when necessary. Her stunning long-range strike against Mexico in the summer was one of the highlights of the entire season, bending viciously away from the keeper into the top right-hand corner.

4. Eugénie Le Sommer
https://images.90min.com/production/912x516/56decd7f9c34b872d1000001.jpg

Probably best known in England for the stunning drive against Mark Sampson's side which condemned the Lionesses to defeat in their opening game of the tournament, the deadly Le Sommer has a real chance of finishing her career as France's all-time leading goalscorer.


The 26-year-old is one of the French side's key players, along with Amandine Henry, and is one of the main reasons that France are right up among the tournament favourites.

3. Aya Miyama
https://images.90min.com/production/912x516/56dece2dc006da9697000001.jpg

The now-veteran midfielder first made her mark in international football as a teenager in the 2003 World Cup, but it was two tournaments later in 2011 when perhaps Miyama's greatest moment came.


Coming into the final as underdogs, Miyama hit a late equaliser to take the game to extra time, which eventually became penalties. Not content with merely saving the game for her side earlier, Miyama stepped up to slot home the first penalty in the shootout - creating a deficit from which the Americans never recovered.


The 2015 World Cup showed that her powers are still nowhere near waning despite passing the age of 20, with crucial goals in tight wins over the Netherlands and Switzerland in Japan's rampage to the final.

2. Megan Rapinoe
https://images.90min.com/production/912x516/56dec5f8c4abefaa9b000001.jpg

​Possibly one of the most technically gifted players in world football, Rapinoe is an absolute joy to watch in full flight. Incredible close control makes her a massive threat when running with the ball, and there isn't a single better mid-to-long range passer or crosser of the ball in women's football.


Rapinoe's qualities make her best suited to playing a supporting role. A comparison could be made to Arsenal and Germany playmaker Mesut Ozil, but without the German's habit of going missing in big games. Rapinoe's torn ACL could rule her out of the Olympics - and would be an enormous blow for the team if it did.

1. Carli Lloyd

https://images.90min.com/production/912x516/56dec6b99c34b8535b000001.jpg
The best player in women's football. Right now, it's not even close.


Despite turning 33 last summer, Lloyd finished the World Cup as player of the tournament by a handy margin, with a string of performances which would have put her in contention for the award even before her record-breaking 13-minute hat-trick against Japan in the final.


Goals in four of the USA's five games in February's CONCACAF Olympic qualifying tournament showed that Lloyd has lost none of her killer instinct, and make her a fair bet to lead the USWNT to glory in Rio in the summer.

Arsenal Ladies manager Pedro Losa has expressed his delight over the signing of Nigeria international Asisat Oshoala from Liverpool.

The Spaniard said she is a great addition to the squad.


“Asisat is a fantastic talent and will be a great addition to our squad. She is quick, with excellent feet and has proven she can score goals so it’s very positive she has decided to join us,” he remarked.

She scored three goals in 12 league appearances for the Reds.

She is the reigning BBC's Women's Footballer of the Year.

Oshoala: I couldn't reject childhood club Arsenal

Oshoala - New Arsenal signing

Nigeria international Asisat Oshoala has revealed she couldn’t turn down the offer to move to Arsenal having supported them when she was growing up.


“It feels like a dream come true,” she told the Arsenal website. “It was the team I supported when I was small. When I first started playing and watching football, I started supporting Arsenal because I love good football.


“Everyone is happy because it is a very popular club in my country. Having their own player playing for the club is a great thing. Everyone was happy about it - not just my family but football fans around Nigeria."


Arsenal Ladies kick off their season against Birmingham Ladies in the Women’s FA Cup on Sunday, and Oshoala is hoping to make an instant impact.


“I can’t wait for the start of the season to happen,” she said. “I’m really eager for that - I just want to show what we have to the fans.


“When I came here last week, I had a very long conversation with Pedro [Martinez Losa] and he told me the goals of the club, what the club has to offer and what the club is looking to do in the future. I think I’m comfortable and happy with the dream of the club.


“He was talking about the organisation and professionalism of the team. It is getting better each year. The coming years are going to be far better.”

Oshoala moves a step closer to superstardom

Arsenal new girl Oshoala is heading for superstardom

Nigeria international Asisat Oshoala has moved a step closer to reaching superstardom in the women’s game after she completed her transfer to Arsenal Ladies from Liverpool Ladies.


Patience Avre, Mercy Akide-Udoh and Perpetua Nkwocha have over the years been the standard bearers for Nigerian women’s football, but Oshoala is destined to eclipse all their accomplishments before long.


Oshoala’s Arsenal Ladies are the most successful football club in England as far as women’s game is concern having won 40 major trophies, namely two FA Women Super League titles, 12 FA Women's Premier League titles, 13 Women’s FA Cup, 10 Women’s Premier League title and UEFA Women's Champions League.


The Ikorodu-born forward is headed for greatness with Arsenal going by her pedigree and the quality of players she will now play alongside.

She could call on the experience of 36-year-old forward Kelly Smith and the Spanish star Natalia Pablos, who netted seven goals last year.


Oshoala is primed to win more laurels with the London club after making an impact at Liverpool Ladies, where she scored three goals in nine appearances last year even after she was slowed down by a long-term injury.


She must have left a big impression on Arsenal last year when she scored against them for Liverpool to run away 3-1 winners in a league game in July.


The athletic player, who could also play in defence and midfield, is already an achiever having represented Nigeria at youth and full international levels. She won African Women’s Nations Cup in 2014 and a silver medal at FIFA U20 World same year.

Arsenal coach Pedro Losa has said he is delighted to sign the Highly-rated 21-year-old striker.


“Asisat is a fantastic talent and will be a great addition to our squad. She is quick, with excellent feet and has proven she can score goals, so it’s very positive she has decided to join us,” he remarked.


Arsenal Ladies kick off their season against Birmingham Ladies in the Women’s FA Cup on Sunday, and Oshoala will be looking to hit the ground running.


“I can’t wait for the start of the season to happen,” she said. “I’m really eager for that - I just want to show what we have to the fans,” she said.

And on Wednesday, Arsenal will get this year’s league campaign off and running when they play host to Reading.

https://footballlive.ng/footballnews/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Untitled-138.png
Nigeria women football icon, Perpetua Nkwocha, will walk down the altar on Monday, 28 March 2016.(Twitter)
