Cameroon is a very annoying team to play against ehn. Time wasters limited and they were so professional with it the Germans are so pissed one of their girls refused a handshake very rudely

Karma is a female dog. Germans and a lot of European teams rely heavily on referee favours. Kudos to Cameroon. Female football at world level is still like a cult.

One of us.

Whenever I watch Nigerian teams file out, I feel sad and pity for the heroes and heroines. It is so easy for us to criticize them without really caring a thought for the incompetency of NFF and the Sports Ministry. That a name is changed from No Future Ambition to NFF do not give them any ambition.

I read the French team implemented a strategy of carefully playing a large array of experienced and young players in order to prepare for this world cup and they look very likely to replicate in the 2019 Women World Cup their 2018 World Cup triumph. However, it just occurred to me that Nigeria do not even have a date of their players nor what they are currently doing.

I remember the 2010 Under 20 Team. To me, it was the best ever Female Nigerian Team. Of course a number of them are still around but how about the others. Where is someone like Helen Ukaonu, her kick equalized against USA, where is Joy Jegede, the captain that co-ordinates the team, how about Esther Sunday and her wing runs, at that time, Ebere Orji, Cecilia Nku etc. Of course, there are also other good players from other squads, just like Omagbemi remembered Faith Ikidi and Rita Chikwelu,

Of course the 2010 coach Egan Edem, was wonderful. I believe if he has progressed with the girls to the senior team, they would have made an impact at the Olympics and 2015 World Cup. Normal Nigeria they owed him and sacked him.

Nigerian administration want quick results. It does not want a plan. Probably, Cameroon, Ghana or South Africa will not upstage us, not yet at least. We have enough resources hungry for their lives to draw from. But I read somewhere how Cameoroon after the 2012 Olympics retained the coach and tasked him. What was the result, 2014, 2016 second place, impressive 2015 World Cup and 2016 Olympics. They let him go after 2016 loss to Nigeria. Why did we let Omagbemi go? Are there any plans for her? What will these young players look upto, where is Akide, Nkwocha, Mbachu? Vera Okolo?

The 2016 Under 20 were not as impressive as the under 20s, why? How about the good players there? There was a Joy Borokiri, where is she now?

My expectation for today's match is a good win. I've watched the other matches and the technical level was below what I expected. I hope to see our girls control the game well and handle the SA girls well.

Our starting 11. I'm really happy the coach will start Ajibade, but dropping Okobi is a big big thing. A new era.
Clear 4-2-1-3 formation. I hope Ajibade doesnt have todo defensive duties much today. All eyes on her.

How creative is Ajibade? We shall see.

okobi is a solid option on the bench then, she could come in for Rita.
l think playing Ajibade is also a good thing, she then becomes the attacking midfielder doing the pressing behind the front three.

So Gotv won't show the match. But they showed Ghana vs Algeria yesterday

If Ajibade does well today, she'll have found her best position. I think this is her natural position.

supersports is on Gotv na

Ajibade is showing form!! My girl!

South Africa are bossing proceedings

Oparanozie just missed an open goal. Disappointing

Half time, so far so good. We still the team to beat. Oshoala warming herself into the game. I see a 2-0 win here.
Defensively, we look a bit more solid. Midfield struggling to hold the game. Ajibade is balling sense. She sparks almost every attack.

The coach is an ediot. They played outright rubbish

So we lost. Our girls werent good at all. The only good thing about this match is that it exposed our coach. When he was selecting his team, I thought he had something in mind, not knowing he is anywhere belle face.
If you want to play 4-2-1-3, then let your players understand. Someone had to take the initiative for him.

Going forward, I think we will struggle a lot. Most likely we will be 3rd in our group if we continue like this. SA offered nothing and we just obliged. Oshoala and Oparanozie playing big girl football. If they are not bloody ready, then bench them and play others. We didnt have any shot on goal of not. Just playing around the box in hope.

Very disappointed not because we lost but because we played like some secondary school team.

I must confess at this point, Omagbemi is much much better than this coach. We are not going to the world cup with this coach, thats certain. The attackers were better off staying at home. Oshoala needs a good talking to.

I will press charges on anyone who tells me that Chikwelu is a good player, in fact her and Ayinde were bums today. The coach did not start being poor today, he was exposed by France and even Okon.would have won WAFU with Rivers angels. I can't blame Oshoala because at least she created chances but I would have liked her to shoot on a couple occasions. Oparanozie should have been changed instead of Franny, she had a very bad day at office

I fully agree with you. We were terribly exposed, especially in the 2nd half. I think we should sack this coach immediately after AWCON. As a keen falcon follower, we've never been this bad. We are losing and still cannot find a shot on goal!! It is quite bad.
This is not our game. We usually go about our business together, but today, the team was isolated. The midfield was not connecting with the attack, and even, no crosses into the box.

To be honest, those long balls almost bored me to death. We are going down in female football, our U20 women team played a similar pattern also in their last world cup, trying the long ball approach way too much rather than playing together.

That coach must be mad if he believes he has a better RB than Ugo Njoku. Her crosses would have made a world of difference.

This match totally changed my opinion of the coaching crew. They seem to be really clueless. Best defensive midfielder left at home. Everything just looks off.

Next match, I'll start a 4 player midfield. If we dont know where we're going, we should know where we're coming from.

I won't be surprised to see the same team out there and I don't think we have up to 4 good midfielders on this team. I would start Ajibade and Okobi because they will take care of the ball better than what we saw. The players were either forcing take ons or kicking hopeless long balls. This was one of the worst matches I have ever watched.
