BascoVanVeli:
Oh my goodness Chioma Okafor 😳

BascoVanVeli:
Chioma Okafor's debut. She was brought on and then taken off after her teammate picked up a red.

Well, we cant keep crying over it. I have moved on from Edna. We all should too. Good luck to her with Spain.

Schemerkhiz:
💥 Edna Imade with her fourth goal for the Spanish national team (in her sixth match) - all of them scored with her head

Torh. Cos me sef dey see all that SM hardwork. One of my guys that knows im into Falcons even had to reach out and ask if she's truly a footballer or model. He no wan believe she sabi keep or replace Nnadozie.

Till i see workings, i follow my guy for same school of thought. 😂😂😂😂😂

daveP:
Allow +4 +6 players in but make a babyface teen the face of the team-the usual format strikes again.


We can't even get a goalkeeping prospects that even naysayers will point to as Nnadozie heiress-apparent.

Even Ozioma sef, she is off radar to me. What happened?

Don't worry. They'll be fine particularly with respect to World cup qualification. They only need to get to the Semi finals go guarantee a place at the world cup and should they fall short, they only need to get to the quarter finals to vie for a place at the inter continental playoffs.


I also wouldn't be surprised if they go all out and win the WAFCON. They are that talented. And when that happens and you try to point people to the fact that these successes happens in spite of the NFF they'll come to their defence.

When you argue that many of the grade A friendlies the girls were getting were largely due to Waldrum as a coach leveraging on his connect and not the incompetent people at the glass house, you get pushbacks. We literally were playing the USA, Canada and Japan in friendlies like every market day. Now the who apprarently had no influence has gone and it's been crickets. The all mighty NFF who according to folks here did it without Waldrum can't even get bottom barrel teams in Africa to play a friendly with us.

I have decided it's a conversation not worth having particularly when not done in good fate.

The girls will be fine and in a few months we'll forget these incompetence and the cycle repeats itself until we get to the world stage where such shoddy preparation will be punished.

When some of us call out the NFF, We get attacked by some so called Nigerian fans. Just look at this rubbish. No friendly in a fifa window that has space for 3 games. Meanwhile our opponents at the Afcon Malawi and Zambia are playing matches with the likes of Brazzil and Australia. Don't be surprised if the Falcons miss out of the Women's World Cup. Maybe that cataclysmic event will force us to drive out Gausau and Sanusi for good.

Who will release their players to you on such short notice? This must be for homebase players only.
