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?

Goalkeeper Uzoma is currently the first choice for the U20 and she’s doing well even though she is not there yet… I think her performance at the U20 World Cup will tell us if she will break into the SuperFalcons as one of Nnadozie back up plan..

You're enemy of the team ....when last did omagbemi coach a professional team ?

Why didn’t you mention Mercy??

I hope you can read and understand what this post is all about before jumping into conclusions of who’s an enemy…

Because if you understand this post you just quoted you won’t be exposing your Foolery…

I was only talking about how the others coaches Stood up for the girls in the past here..

And yes Omagbemi right now isn’t Coaching a professional team but Youth team in the US 🇺🇸

Get something into your Dollop head..

Nigeria SuperFalcons needs a Foreign Coach that can push the NFF back to back..

All this Local/Home based Coach can’t do that..

Among the foreign based Nigerian Female Coaches only Florence Omagbemi and Mercy Akide can Push them one reason they're afraid to go that part..

Why didn’t Florence Omagbemi last with the team?? She spoke up for the girls after the 2016 WAFCON when they weren’t paid..

They tried bringing her back to Coach the team she demanded that she will be coming from the US to do her job, NFF refused that she must stay in Nigeria here..

In all NFF is the team major problem, they can only work with those who they will toss around.

Since all this issues, Madugu have never come out to demand for better preparation for team or talk about the players pay or even his own Salary that haven’t been paid…

A Foreign Coach will demand for the whole team better Welfare as Randy did during his tenure..

Thomas Dennerby the same..

Only Rasheedat Ajibade & Chiamaka Nnadozie have came out to speak up, for this two players NFF will definitely be scared to drop any because the whole Nigeria will ask questions..

Maybe Esther Okoronkwo and Alozie can also speak up.

Look at Zambia 🇿🇲

Coach Norah spoke up that she need Friendly games, When the Zambia FA brought in a Coach she doesn’t want as an Analyst she spoke up and decided to leave the job..

Now she’s demanding they pay her off her whole contract..

Randy was the major reason we were playing those top teams..

lovewins:
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 I start talking they will say am Madugu’s enemy…

They will bring out the WAFCON trophy won mainly by the girls effort as evidence…

Forgetting that the team lost out to Morocco in the semifinals of that edition cause of 2 Red Cards and poor officiating.. Referee didn’t bother to check or even give the Moroccan player a Red Card when she stamped on Osinachi Ohale’s Leg…

Na we we dey do ourselves jare….

Predator87:
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.

Year after year, it’s the same story. The Super Falcons rarely get adequate preparation for tournaments, yet they’re expected to deliver.

Victims of their own success, maybe? It’s disheartening.

This WAFCON also doubles as World Cup qualification, but it isn't treated as such.

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

NFF is just the 99% of the problems the SuperFalcons are facing… Imagine the nonsense they’re doing..

At this stage we have to say Amaju was a better NFF President ..

Our Portuguese Sister 🇵🇹
Christy Ucheibe is now a Citizen of Portugal….
Love it when this girls achieve great things.

The Super Falcons of Nigeria 🇳🇬 will play a double-header friendly against Cape Verde 🇨🇻 in Ikenne, Nigeria on April 15 and 18, serving as a crucial test ahead of future continental assignments.

Update: The Super Falcons are set to face Cape Verde in a double-header in Nigeria on April 15 and 18.

Awaiting official confirmation.

The earlier proposed fixture against Togo appears to have been changed, but if there are any changes, further updates will follow.

Since Desire Oparanozie retirement the SuperFalcons are still struggling to get a true top9.

Esther Okoronkwo have said on several interviews that she prefers the no.9 position…

With the way she plays what Position really do fit her in the SuperFalcons ??

She has played in all the positions upfront.
No.9
Right Wing
Left Wing
False 9

Hattrick today…

She Better take this form to the WAFCON

According to the information circulating right now, the Super Falcons of Nigeria 🇳🇬 are likely to play Togo 🇹🇬 in an international friendly this month. 👀

BascoVanVeli:
1-0 That's the trophy score.

I stand my ground any day any where, I won’t sugarcoat anything.. Randy is better💯

He’s the head coach come out and speak for the team not just stay silent as if nothing is going on..

isan:
Your hate for magudu has blind your eyes to the truth.....so it's coach duty to organize a friendly match ? For much of waldrum tenure we had pinnick who worked really hard to get quality friendlies for falcons ..even if waldrum did use his influence it's still the NFF that have the final say .

Are you okay? Is it wrong if he comes out and requests for the Friendly games as well as put some Atom of Pressure on the NFF just as Randy, Thomas Dennerby etc did in the past will he die🥹

I just hope you even read the post to understand before coming here with the Madugu affinity game..

With Randy we played Summer Series in the US, USA on a two leg friendly, Canada on a two leg as well, Revelation Tournament in Mexico 🇲🇽 and other games which actually shaped the girls for the 2023 World Cup.


Omor with Madugu now, NFF don’t even want to help matters, one of the reasons we need Coaches with Connections as well..

Randy had connections with the inner working of American soccer. He got us friendly games, Helped our few of Nigeria young players into Soccer programs in American schools…

Should i say Madugu isn't serious minded?. The Randy was always putting pressure on the NFF for friendlies. Can Madugu publicly come out and do the same?? Nawa!!!

For the April Window report from Ghana 🇬🇭 suggests that the Nigeria Football Federation have requested to play the Black Queens of Ghana in an International Friendly Game…

Let’s see if Ghana will approve

Regina Otu
Flourish Sabastine
Suliat Abideen were all in action in this game…

Predator87:
I thought Hilda Magaiya retired after the last Wafcon? Man this lady is always a problem for Naija.

It was Jasmine Seoposenwe that retired…

BascoVanVeli:
Because of 2 iPods and tripods?

So you think that’s the bone of contention here??

How many Coaches SuperFalcons get?

Just Madugu and Ann with goalkeeper trainer..

Where are the rest? By the way go check out Morocco, Algeria and Cote’d’ivoire coaching staffs…

If other African countries have the quality of players SuperFalcons have then it’s finish..

Na only Nigeria get quality for every department unlike the rest.

One day the Nigeria 🇳🇬 Superfalcons will get to the level of having a Technical Bench like this…

Legendary Arsenal and England former player Kelly Smith is also there as one of her Assistant..

Banyana Banyana of South Africa 🇿🇦 Head Coach Desiree Ellis has announced her squad for their upcoming International friendly matches against Algeria!

AkinDS:
Darn!
That looks like a fractured ankle. May actually be worse than Janet’s injury.
Really feel sorry for Ihezuo, especially now that she had started to make her mark. This is a big blow to the Falcons campaign for a WC spot.

Wishing her blessed healing and an expedited recovery 🙏🏾

A big blow for Pachuca and the SuperFalcons i must say but again is an avenue for another player to step in..

Rinsola Babajide
Uchenna Kanu
Chioma Okafor

Should hold on to the Left Wing in her absence..

Wishing her a Speedy Recovery ❤️‍🩹🙏
