Camp updates as Waldrum drafts in five U20 players to Nigeria squad for United States doubleheader test

Nigeria senior women’s coach Randy Waldrum has invited five members of the Costa Rica 2022 U20 Women’s World Cup team for next month’s two-legged international friendly against United States.

Waldrum has included the Falconets’ stars on his no fewer than 26-woman roster set to seek an upset against the reigning world champions for the first time since last meeting at the Summer Series last June.

The five players include centre back and captain Blessing Oluwatosin Demehin, right back Jumoke Alani, left back Rofiat Imuran, and midfielder Deborah Abiodun and forward Esther Onyenezide.

All invited Falconets’ ladies will be dreaming of an impactful debut at the senior level except for Demehin, who made her debut in the 1-0 defeat to Jamaica at the Summer Series last year on June 10.

The inclusion of the Falconets’ quartet is coming on the heels of the unavailability of some key players due to varying reasons, ranging from visa hitches and club switch.

SavidNews understand that visa hitches had seen Sweden based duo of Halimatu Ayinde and Ngozi Okobi-Okeoghene as well Russia based duo of Francisca Ordega and Macleans Chinonyerem ruled out.

As expected, star striker Asisat Oshoala, who won a record fifth African Women’s Footballer of the Year in July, will also not make the trip as she continues to recover from the injury picked during the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco.

In a related development, the Super Falcons camp has since opened in Abuja with Nigeria based players, including those from the U20 side at Serob Hotel on Monday.

Besides the five U20 stars, goalkeeper Christy Ohiaeriaku from Edo Queens, Robo Queens forward Monday Gift and Esther Ogbonna Akudo from Rivers Angels complete the list of eight local players.

With visas secured, the eight home based players and officials are scheduled to depart Nigeria for the United States on Tuesday night to unite with foreign professionals ahead of Saturday’s first match in Kansas City.

The nine-time African champions will battle the reigning World champions in their preparation for the 2023 FIFA World Cup, with first clash at the Children’s Mercy Park in Kansas City, Kansas on 3rd September and then have a go at each other’s jugular once more at the Audi Field in Washington, D. C. on 6th September.

Idiko1:


There are two things Ayinde will give to her team; pass the ball to the opponents and secure a red card.

JohnBullMySon:
Patricia may also be due to new club settling. As for Okobi, she better pray that Randy gets fired before the World Cup because as things stand, I believe nothing is ever going to make Randy invite her again and nobody will push for her like that.

Less than 7 days to the USA double friendly and we are yet to see a list released.

@Deltamani @Schemerkhiz

Any idea when the list will be released or should we just wait to see who turns up.

BascoVanVeli:




She should be giving u ur share of the transfer money 30 minutes or 30 seconds she had good chances and fluffed them all but I am sure u went blind at those moments.

Ur point about Toni and Ashleigh makes no sense because Nicole Payne is also a natural fullback who was kept on the bench by them. Why don't u also shout that she doesn't belong on the team because those 2 kept her on the bench?

Why is Patricia George in the same league as low budget Glory Ogbonna

AkinDS:
You forgot to also add the unnecessary penalty against Jamaica which Oluehi saved.

Oh shot, my bad. Video courtesy...BascoVanVeli.

BascoVanVeli:


What does that mean Did Nicole start over Toni or Ashleigh? Another meaningless point.

Nobody has heard about the entire Turkish league so stop the cap. We know fenerbache because of the men's team.

BascoVanVeli:


Wat happened to the striker u hyped for a whole year on this thread

Isn't Patricia George in the same Turkish league as Glory? How did that come about if she doesn't come close.

Penalty against South Africa and a second yellow card against Ghana. Now tell me what else she did wrong? Just tell me the time in the game.

I never said she should start on the team, I said there is no need to bash her

BascoVanVeli:


Given enough chance to do what? Would u people ever admit when she does something good? When Glory made a single mistake this thread would shake but all I saw during the AWCON was excuse making.

Plumptre and Payne were starting no matter wat so bringing them up adds no points to ur talk.

Let's make this clear, I don't care who u or anybody wants to play for the team but when u start throwing dirt on a players name I don't feel that. I have said the same thing about the Oshoala bashing and I will do the same for every player.

lovewins:
10 days to the Super Falcons Friendly with the USA and the NFF is yet to release a team list. I really do hope they are working with players on the background.

There's no point having a friendly game if the players needed for team building can't feature. Hopefully we don't have a repeat of th Canada experience.

JohnBullMySon:
Is Mr Randy waiting for a bottle of Hennessey before he releases the list

lovewins:


I joined late so can't provide a context for how the conversation started. I'll however make inferences for what I saw.

Okobi basically shared he experience with Randy Waldrum and the impact of that experience on her and her family.

First, she alleges that Randy had a negative bias towards her. He allegedly said sited not seeing her play before as an excuse for her not being in the team.

She talked about injury spell (not sure if it was hers or Halimatu Ayinde) and how they were hopeful of being in Morocco. After she didn't get the call and Ayinde did, she gave up hope though Ayinde was still hopeful of her being included.

She received a call much later from Randy after it was confirmed Oparanozie couldn't make the team and took a flight to Abuja to join them.

She claims Randy already had a core team he intended to work with and this had nothing to do with your showing in training. (This was exclusive of herself, Ayinde and Ucheibe but claims Ayinde was included last minute). She expressed her displeasure to the Falcons losing the South African game and blames the loss to technical deficiency.

She alleges that Randy probably reads comments on social media and that was pretty probably why he reluctantly used her in the second game. She claims Randy apologized to her after that game (and did so 3 other times in Morocco) after he witnessed what she brought to the team.

Addendum:

She said something about almost having issues with Asisat (didn't exactly get what the issue was)

Also talked about the conversation she had with Randy about captaincy when it became obvious Onome couldn't continue. Apparently her teammates suggested that she take up the responsibility.

Also talked about the role of the media and the effect that had on players. She alleges the Nigerian Media hypes just one (a few) players to the detriment of the team. She says they all read this and this ultimately doesn't help team spirit.

Moving forward, she didn't mince words in suggesting the successes recorded by the team so far is primarily as a result of individual brilliance and had nothing to do with what the coach's contribute technically invariably suggesting the necessity for a new coach
