Asisat Oshoala is Currently the Best in Nigeria and Africa as a whole as far as women football is concern...

JOY JEGEDE RETIRES FROM FOOTBALL

Overtime, people have often been judged based on their actions, track records or legacies. No doubt these are some of the factors that separate successful people from the never do well and justify the belief that leaders are not born but made.

The road to success and the road to failure are almost the same and success comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it.

No wonder the woman, Jegede Joy Imwonghomwen, having fore-sight chooses the road to success as she was busy looking for it.

Born on the 16th of December, 1991, in Benin City, Jegede Joy Imwonghomwen, started showing from a tender age that she will be a successful player.

PLAYING CAREER

Joy started playing football very early in life for Noiva Babes from 1999 to 2002 and won three trophies with the team.

Not done with the success she had with Noiva Babes, she went on to play for Pelican Stars from 2003 to 2004, where she won two trophies with the team. Joy had a blissful career as a footballer and in 2013, played for FC Bobruichanka in Belarus.

As a woman of many parts who loves to succeed in anything she does and also want to put smiles on the faces of her fans, which according to her gives her joy, in 2005 this towering, no nonsense defender joined Delta Queens Football Club and won nine trophies and left in 2017.

Not done with the successes she had with Delta Queens FC, Joy craved for more success and moved to Bayelsa Queens Football Club, where she also won three trophies (the 2018 NWPL title, the maiden edition of the NWPL Champions Shield and Queens Consult pre-season tournament in Akure, the Ondo State Capital).

HONOURS
Jegede Joy Imwonghomwen, was capped forty-four times, wearing the Green and White jersey of Nigeria. Joy Jegede was likened to Uche Okechukwu (the Gentle Giant), because of her size and height (1.72m).

She had so many honours playing for the national team. She was in the Nigeria Women's U-20 team to the FIFA Women's World Cup in Chile 2008 and in 2010, she captained the team in Germany, where they came second.

In 2012, Joy was in Nigeria Women's Senior National team to the African Women Championship in Equatorial Guinea. She was in the Super Falcons team to the All African Games in Congo Brazzaville, in 2015.

This astute player captained the Super Falcons Team B to the WAFU Tournament in Abidjan, Cote d' Voire, and the team finished in third position.

Jegede Joy Imwonghomwen, is a quintessential player, who have excelled more than her peers and whatsoever she set her mind to do she achieved.

To cap her illustrious playing career, this defense ace has completed a three month coaching course as she wants to give back to the game that brought her fame and fortune.

There is a saying: 'You quit when the ovation is loudest', and that was exactly what JEGEDE JOY IMWONGHOMWEN, has done as she has quit the beautiful game of football voluntary.

No doubt, Joy will be missed. And as she takes another challenge in life, one can only wish her well.

Congratulations Jegede Joy Imwonghomwen on your blissful playing career.

Esther Okoronkwo another youngster in the Building.......She plays Lamar University women’s soccer Team in the NCAA Div 1.

LU soccer wins Southland tournament title
Matt Faye | November 10, 2019

The potent forward combination of Lucy Ashworth and Esther Okoronkwo produced in the biggest moment of Lamar University women’s soccer season, leading the Lady Cardinals to a 3-1 victory over Northwestern State in the Southland Conference championship game on Sunday afternoon in Conway, Arkansas.
Ashworth gave Lamar the lead with a goal in the 32nd minute, then Okoronkwo scored twice early in the second half to secure the tournament title. The win means Lamar has won the Southland regular season title and tournament championship for the second time in three years.
Lamar (16-6, 10-1) now enters the NCAA postseason on an 11-game winning streak. The Lady Cardinals outscored opponents 14-4 in their three conference tournament games combined.
“This feels amazing,” Lamar head coach Steve Holeman said in a release after the win on Sunday. “Because of the adversity we faced and the 1-5 start just makes it that much better. These ladies continued to work and march on and we just continued to take it one game at a time. I’m really proud of how they stuck with the process - game in and game out they continued to believe in what we’re doing.”
The second-seeded Demons (13-8-1, 8-2-1) were the only Southland team to beat Lamar during the regular season. That was a one-goal Lamar loss in late September.
The rematch, however, was controlled by the Lady Cardinals throughout. Lamar freshman keep Erin Branch kept a clean sheet until the 67th minute, when Northwestern State sophomore Nicole Henry scored the Demons’ only goal of the game.
Branch would finish with three saves for Lamar. Okoronkwo was named as the tournament’s most valuable player.
Lamar will find out its first-round opponent on Monday during the NCAA selection show at 3:30 p.m.


I thought we were going to lose her to the US but thank Goodness she changed her mind

Let's just wait for Uchenna Kanu to get a professional contract soonest, so we can watch her performance better!!!

If you watch our players play regularly you will notice that Ngozi Okobi is the most Skillful player in the Superfalcons that i can confidently bet on that can get past three(3) players at once with her skills, pace alone can't do the job.....

CoolJulian:
Boss...

Don't get it twisted... KANU is not yet tested. When she gets to play professionally, we can debate that. For now, Oshoala is far above her; KANU is not even close to the level at which Ordega and Oparanozie operate (even as Ordega is a more mature player than Oshoala).

I just do not like it when people overhype players, without carrying out thorough research on them. If peradventure, such players are given a big part to play and they fail, they get attacked.

As for Oshoala, she is not yet where she ought to be and I seriously believe that the Chinese league she played in stalled her development, she should stay in Spain and grow. She's got so much potential that is yet to be properly harnessed.

I just hope the NFF will leave all these coaches that have proven to be failures and go for world class ones, and also support the Super falcons in every way possible.

Mind you i only said she's good technically with the ball at her feets!. Been a Skillful player who can get past her marker with her skill.

Top 6 worst Arsenal women signings this decade

Lia Wälti extends Arsenal contract Just like there have been a number of great signings for Arsenal women over the last decade, there have been a few stinkers too, so here are my top 6 worst Arsenal women signings from that period.
LONDON, ENGLAND – JUNE 22: England Women footballer Fara Williams poses after she received her Member of Order of the British Empire (MBE) medal from the Princess Royal during an investiture ceremony at Buckingham Palace on June 22, 2016 in London, England. (Photo by Nick Ansell-WPA Pool/Getty Images)
I should note that the players in this list are good or, in some cares, very good players, but unfortunately it just did not work out for them at Arsenal and that is all they are being judged on here.
Top 6 worst Arsenal women signings this decade
NICE, FRANCE – JUNE 09: Jill Scott of England in action with Christie Murray of Scotland during the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup France group D match between England and Scotland at Stade de Nice on June 9, 2019 in Nice, France. (Photo by Marc Atkins/Getty Images)
Murray at Arsenal was just a mystery. There was a lot of talk about how well she was doing in training during her time at the club, but she did not make many first-team appearances.
It was hard to know how good she actually was and she left as much of an enigma as she had arrived after being signed by Shelley Kerr.
VAXJO, SWEDEN – JULY 11: Anouk Hoogendijk of Netherlands runs with the ball during the UEFA Women’s Euro 2013 group B match at Vaxjo Arena on July 11, 2013 in Vaxjo, Sweden. (Photo by Martin Rose/Getty Images)
The Dutch defender had a good pedigree and had been quite successful with Bristol Academy before signing for Arsenal.
Obviously, a big name in the women’s football world, she did not produce much while at the club with limited game time and quickly returned to Holland.
Another player who did not show the best of her ability at Arsenal.
MARUGAME, JAPAN – MAY 24: Shinobu Ohno of Japan in action during the MS&AD Nadeshiko Cup 2015 women’s soccer international friendly match between Japan and New Zealand at Kagawa Prefectural Marugame Stadium on May 24, 2015 in Marugame, Japan. (Photo by Koki Nagahama/Getty Images)
A World Cup winner with Japan but a top player who did not adapt to the game in England.
Ohno was a world class play-maker but seemed to struggle to adapt to the FA WSL as much as she struggled in the D1 Feminine while at Lyon.
She could have taken the play-making mantle when Kim Little left for Seattle but that, unfortunately, did not happen.
SHEPPARTON, AUSTRALIA – NOVEMBER 30: Yukari Kinga of Melbourne City celebrates with fans during the round three W-League match between Melbourne City and Adelaide United at John McEwan Reserve on November 30, 2019 in Shepparton, Australia. (Photo by Jonathan DiMaggio/Getty Images)
Another 2011 World Cup winner with Japan. Another top player who did not seem to adapt to the FA WSL and the club. It is another mystery as to why things did not work out for either Kinga or Ohno.
Kinga, who won the World Cup playing superbly at right-back, never played a competitive game in that position for Arsenal.
The only time I saw her played in the right position was during post-season friendlies in Japan when she was about to transfer back home.
BOREHAMWOOD, ENGLAND – AUGUST 14: (EDITORS NOTE: Image has been converted to black and white.) Asisat Oshoala of Barcelona speaks to a match day mascot ahead of the Pre Season Friendly match between Arsenal and Barcelona at Meadow Park on August 14, 2019 in Borehamwood, England. (Photo by Naomi Baker/Getty Images)
Another player who came in with a big reputation and did not deliver often enough.
Luckily, she was sold to Dalian in China where she earned good wages.
There was a lot of hype around Oshoala after a successful FIFA u20 World Cup and she was nominated for numerous awards.
But things did not work out at Arsenal.
I don’t know if her playing style did not fit with what the club was looking for, but it seemed that she did not work hard enough at times.
I still remember Sunderland away where all the subs would have to do a few lengths post-match and she was clearly not interested in doing it properly, unlike the other players.
We certainly did not see the best of her during her stint.
LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM – MAY 14: Fara Williams of Arsenal holds off Fran Kirby of Chelsea during the SSE Women’s FA Cup Final between Arsenal Ladies and Chelsea Ladies at Wembley Stadium on May 14, 2016 in London, England. (Photo by Ben Hoskins/Getty Images)
Williams was supposed to be a top signing coming from Liverpool.
An experienced defensive midfielder, very strong technically, she was one of the top Lionesses players in her prime.
It really did work out at all.
Off-field issues were a distraction during her time at the club. There were also allegations she was giving a new signing, whose confidence looked shot during the Spring Series, a really hard time in training.
That player later turned out to be a superb signing once Williams left the club.
Williams’ time at Arsenal was a major disappointment and she was shipped to Reading when the club had to make a choice between Jemma Rose and her.
It led to the now infamous handshake incident between the two players at a Reading away game with Williams refusing to shake Rose’s hand.

On-fire Oghiabekhva named best player in Belarus
opera.com
Super Falcons' Emuidzhi Oghiabekhva has been on fire for Minsk all season long and it has paid off. She has just been named the Belarusian Women's Premier League Best Player of the Year 2019. The speedster played like a woman among girls and banged in a mind-boggling 44 goals in 26 outings for her club.
For those not near a calculator that's an average of 1.70 goals per game and that stat puts her in a class with a very selected few. 10 of the goals were also against the best Europe had to offer as they were scored in seven Champions League games before Minsk bowed out to fellow Super Falcons' teammate Oshola's Barcelona in the Round of 16.
As if that was not enough, her tally consisted of
one game with seven goals, two with hat-tricks and five with braces. All of this helped Minsk to a domestic treble in 2019 and qualification for Women's Champions League as the country's sole representative next year.
The 29-year-old claimed the coveted award at the recently held Belarus Football Awards Gala organised by the Belarusian Football Federation.
She has now also been rewarded for all her good work with a contract extension which will keep her at Minsk till September 2020, much to the annoyance of both Arsenal and Madrid who had come snooping around hoping to land the service of the talented Nigerian.

Super Falcons’ new coach ready early next year, says Pinnick

Dec 25, 2019 5:11 AM

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) president, Amaju Pinnick has disclosed that the federation is working round the clock to employ a quality coach for the senior national women team (Super Falcons) early next year.

Speaking at the finals of the Oshoala Football Championship For Girls, which ended at the Campos Mini Stadium, Lagos yesterday, Pinnick, who expressed concern over the performance of the Super Falcons in recent times, said the federation was not in any way neglecting the women national teams at any level.

He also boasted that the body was on course to take Nigerian football to an enviable height in 2020.

While congratulating Asisat Oshoala for the large turn out of girls at the championship, Pinnick said the competition would help attract more girls to football in Nigeria.

“The NFF has been having series of meetings to discuss the way forward for our national teams,” he said.

“Top on the agenda is getting a new coach for the Super Falcons. With this on the pipeline, I can assure you that a credible coach will be appointed to the Super Falcons soon. The NFF is planning big for the female national team.

“On the Oshoala Football Championship, I must commend Oshoala for bringing up this beautiful idea to encourage the girl/child to play football.

“When she called me to attend the finals, I could not resist… out of my busy schedule I ensured that I attended the event.

“Playing a celebrity game alongside Super Eagles players like Odion Ighalo, Victor Osimhen, Omeruo, Awaziem and Asisat gives me joy.

“As the Oshoala Football Championship progresses, I believe it will attract more teams to participate in the female league. The NFF will not relent in supporting the development of Nigerian football in any capacity,” he said.

Lot of negativity in Falcons – Oshoala

Super Falcons captain Asisat Oshoala has said 2019 is a year she would love to quickly get behind her because of her experiences.

Oshoala told Goal that although the Falcons got to the knockout stage of the 2019 Women’s World Cup in France, their first time in 20 years, there were “a lot of negativity going on around the team.”

“In the Nigerian women’s team, there are a lot of things going on right now,” Oshoala told Goal.

“It is not something positive. “It’s a lot of negativity going on around the team. It wasn’t the best experience.

She also revealed she felt better with the squad to the 2015 World Cup than the current team.

“I have been to the Women’s World Cup before in 2015 and the feeling was much better than what I had in France.

“I love my 2015 outing because it was much more interesting. We had a lot of players who were ready to give everything, and the atmosphere was more comfortable for us to play.

“2019 was a bit difficult and we were struggling as a team, but we only tried to pull together to qualify for the next round in France.

“I think that was something much more than football. This is because a game is not just won on the pitch because you can pass the ball around better,” she added.

BascoVanVeli:
Oshoala is an institution. She has the unpurchasable asset which is pace. If super zee played in the NAIA she would score 1000 goals

Quote me i only talked about Uchenna Kanu been more Skillful than her, College activities stopped her from playing at the 2016 U20 World Cup at Least you would have seen more of her!
By the way College Football can't be compared to Professional Football.

isan:
KANU should join a pro club and against professionals that's when we know what's up

She just finished from her College and she's going Pro ASAP!

But what i don't know is that if she would wait for the College draft to the NWSL or would move straight to a European Side!

mostob:
mehn. ...this girl is hot. she should go into pro football. Any team from France or Sweden might do. She might have an edge over Oshoala

Kanu is a prolific goal scorer who uses both feets effectively. I will say she have an edge over Oshoala been that she's very Skillful and Technical with both feets which is one thing most of them lack. Against Germany during the 2019 World Cup if you watched the game you could see how Skillful she is even during her U17 days!.

Ex-USA U-20 star, Mimi eyes Super Falcons call-up
. . 16 hours ago
Super Falcons of Nigeria
A former player of the United State of America U-20 women’s team, Mimi Asom has expressed her desire to play for seven time African champions, the Super Falcons of Nigeria.
The youngster who is presently taking the Norwegian league by storm in the colours of Arna-Bjornar has scored seven goals since joining the club mid-season in July 2019.
ADVERTISEMENT
Although she just joined the club, Mimi has averaged the highest number of goals per minute played and she is the second top scorer in her team.

Born in the USA to Nigerian parents, Mimi played for the USA U-20 national team when she was 18 years old.
She, however, remains eligible to play for the Super Falcons without requiring clearance from FIFA.
Interestingly, she has not hidden her intention to continue to deliver on the pitch in order to achieve her dream.
Mimi moved to Norway from the USA after graduating from Princeton University in June 2019 where she played and was captain of the team.
She was voted the Ivy League (USA Collegiate football) offensive player of the year (2018). She led the Ivy League with 12 goals and one assist, scoring in nine consecutive matches; including a hat-trick against Yale University on September 22, 2018, and she was voted player of the week three times in the course of that league season.
Mimi was also named to the All-American team by United Soccer Coaches in 2018/2019. She also won the Golden Ball award at youth level.

Her performance this year has now been duly recognised as she was named the best goalkeeper in Africa by the IFFHS, while she was also named the 16th best goalkeeper in the world.

There have been but she want a top Club probably from the Swedish, Spanish or the WSL in England
