Eric Abidal's Wife (Hayet), Now A Suspect For The Brutal Attack On PSG Star Kheira Hamraoui.
November 16, 2021 CloudNine Sports Titbits., Football
Still on the Police investigations surrounding the shocking attack on PSG’s midfieder Kheira Hamraoui, the French police confirms that investigating judge is continuing the inquiry, and Eric Abidal's wife now a suspect in relation to the case

The former Barcelona defender was invited by the French police for questioning over the matter days after the incidence, as his phone number was found in the player's contacts, and her sim card was also registered under his name.
Eric Abidal reportedly slept with Kheira when he was Barcelona sporting director and she played for Barca women's side at the time.

A new information now points to the Frenchman's wife being the one who ordered the beating from the maskedmen as per L'Équipe

It was supposedly a revenge for Kheira sleeping with her husband during her time at Barcelona.

Kheira Hamraoui was recently attacked on the streets by a few masked men who damaged her legs with a sharp object.

Kheira's teammate at PSG Amanita Diallo was initially suspected to have orchestrated the attack and was even questioned by the police last Wednesday.

CloudNine Sports understands that Diallo was later released without charge, having pleaded her innocence in this case and it looks like she is not guilty.

The Parisian police are now on alert after having access to the calls made and received by Kheira Hamaraoui, as well as Diallo's own statement regarding alleged threats from Abidal's wife (Hayet Abidal) in the past.

According to a number of the players within the female PSG team who are now assisting in resolving the matter, Hamraoui called Abidal the day after the attack on her occurred.
Abidal's wife is now being investigated by the police.
To further increase the suspicion that this case is indeed a private life matter which is not related to PSG or any of their footballing issues, it has been confirmed by Le Monde that, at some point during the attack, one of the hooded men shouted at the for having slept with married men.

International women’s goalkeeper accused of being a man as Jordan FA calls for gender test on the Iranian footballer

The president of the Jordan Football Association (JFA) has called for the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) to carry out a gender test on Iranian women's goalkeeper, Zohreh Koudaei.
Iran beat Jordan 4-2 on penalties in September, with Koudaei saving two spot-kicks to help her country to qualify for the 2022 Women's Asia Cup for the first time in their history.

But the JFA have doubts over the 'eligibility of a participating player,' and are demanding a gender test on the shot-stopper. They believe Koudaei was in fact a man impersonating a woman.

In response, Iran's team selector Maryam Irandoost strongly denied the allegations.
Irandoost told sports news site Varzesh3: "The medical staff have carefully examined each player on the national team in terms of hormones to avoid any problems in this regard, and so I tell all fans not to worry.

"We will provide any documentation that the Asian Confederation of Football wishes without wasting time."

It comes after the President of the Jordan Football Association, Prince Ali Bin Al-Hussein, tweeted a letter calling for a gender test.

He has slammed the AFC over the 'very serious issue,' and fumed at the confederation to 'wake up'.

The JFA have demanded an 'independent panel of medical experts' take a look at the issue.

Part of the letter reads that the JFA: "Understand that gender verification is not mandatory for participating players, however, the article reserves the right for AFC to investigate and take appropriate measures if there is a doubt on the eligibility of a participating player.

"Considering the evidence submitted by JFA and given the importance of the competition,
"We request the AFC to initiate a transparent and clear investigation by a panel of independent medical experts to investigate the eligibility of the player in question and others on the team,
"Particularly that the Iranian Women Football team has a history with gender and doping issues."

CAF Sha....

Let's see how it goes..

Uchechi SUNDAY

Ashleigh Plumptre

AkinDS:
Will beg to differ wrt Okobi.
I personally think she's done. And the writing has been on the wall, prior to Waldrum's coming.
I believe that is why she's been bench warming for some time now.

On Osarenoma, I really loved the way she manned the midfield years ago.
Had hoped she would progress into a more dominant force in the midfiueld but that didn't happen.
Sad if she has indeed taken time off from football. Wish her well.

She's still with Edo Queens of Benin though, but you should also know that in Nigeria here once you're Married or start having kids you will be tagged an old Player..

Chinaza Uchendu leaves Linkoping LFC


I want to thank the club, coaches, players, supporters and partners for making my time in LFC memorable, I really appreciate the time I had in the club and wish everyone the best, Thank you for everything ! , says Chinaza Uchendu.

LFC and Chinaza Uchendu have agreed not to extend the agreement until next year. Chinaza came to LFC during the summer of the 2020 season. Unfortunately, she seriously injured herself in her first appearance in LFC away against Vittsjö GIK after only a few minutes on the field.

- Chinaza is a good football player but unfortunately she did not get the opportunity to show her full potential in the club as her injury has stopped it. Chinaza has instead had to focus on rehabilitation throughout the year. Despite that, she has been a real team player and pushed her teammates in training from the side of the field and we will miss her completely unique applause that is heard all over Linköping during our home matches at Linköping Arena, says club director Frida Andersson.

We thank Chinaza for her time in the club and wish her all the best in the future!

AkinDS:
I am in general agreement with the players you mentioned, with the exception of Ngozi Okobi. I think she is done and has nothing left in the tank. That was evidenced by her very poor performance during the ABC Invitational and I think she knows the writing is on the wall for her, as Randy seemed to have little confidence in her. Really not impressed with Joy Bokiri's recent performances.

Million naira question: Why hasn't Osare Igbinovia been given a look in?

Ngozi Okobi, Ngozi Okobi, Ngozi Okobi....

Don't think she's finished yet, her first tournament under Randy was the Aisha Buhari Cup which was below average.. She would come up soon since Tony Payne is there now let them Compete for the Single Spot...

As for Osarenoma Ogbinovia I tried follow her game early this year but she looks like someone who's off playing for now even before her mother burial took place.

AkinDS:
Yea. They have been poor - haven't won a single game and are on the verge of being relegated.
Plumptre seems to be the one consistent performer. Hopefully, a bigger club will come knocking on the door for her during the transfer window.

If you have watched any of their games this Season do give us some hint about her performance...

She have only missed one game this season which was their first game

AkinDS:
Yea. They have been poor - haven't won a single game and are on the verge of being relegated.
Plumptre seems to be the one consistent performer. Hopefully, a bigger club will come knocking on the door for her during the transfer window.

Bigger Clubs came knocking when they gained promotion to the WSL at the end of Last Season ( Manchester City, Everton WFC and top Clubside outside England) but she chooses to stay with her home club.

Her pairing with McManus have been great, To me the Coach need to be Changed since the result isn't coming to avoid relegation.. Moving up from the Championship to the WSL isn't an easy process..

Here's Paris FC vs Bordeaux FC game yesterday Night...

Chiamaka Nnadozie Superfalcons and Paris FC First Choice Goalkeeper was in action Coached by 48yrs old Ex France international Sandrine Soubeyrand. A good Midfielder in her days played against Nigeria at the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup in Germany though was Substituted out..

Any of you here following up with Ashleigh Plumptre and Leicester City Women WSL games here??

I can send 99% of their match full videos here..!

From Randy view Ashleigh Plumptre is the one she's banking on to replace Onome Ebi.

Ashleigh a Modern day Left footed Center Back have got the height, Speed, Leadership and Defensive qualities but might lack that Experience and Physical side of Africa women Football though the WSL is tough too.

AkinDS:
1. Like I stated earlier, it might behoove you to avail yourself on what Leadership and Growth mean, from a footballing perspective. You really seem to be conflating the two.
Being handed the captains band portrays leadership potential, not growth. Growth is the progression at becoming better in one's craft which translates into field generalship.

2. Regarding Payne and Ajibade struggling in the midfield against Ghana, that was because neither player was a defensive oriented player - both are forward leaning midfielders (AMs) and not DMs. So, the outcome was no surprise.

3. It could also be a lose-lose situation, if not properly managed. Abiodun is still on her growth curve and she is developing well, which is quite impressive. The biggest mistake that could be made is setting the young lady up for failure, by rushing her into a role she is a bit premature for.

Yeah.. Right now Randy Waldrum is gradually fitting in Regina Otu in place of Rita Chikwelu and it would be better we allow her blend well first.. the other Player i wanted to see in that position was Christy Ucheibe of Benfica FC but she seems not to have been able to honour the few call up she has gotten...

Regina Otu and Christy Ucheibe as DM
Halimatu Ayinde and Rasheedat Ajibade playing Centrally/Box-to-Box
Tony Payne and Ngozi Okobi still at the Attacking Midfield position..

Joy Bokiri still need to improve on her decision making on the pitch though she looks energetic.

Chikwelu on the verge of retirement.

OBSERVATIONS FROM RIVER ANGELS GAMES
We really need to resurrect our women league. Nigeria is gradually declining in it dominance in women football.

Mary Ezenagu fall my hand in front of goal. She dribbles too much though she delivers the ball well but in front of goal, she was weak. She really needs to improve.

I thought we said Edwin Okon was good, what happened to him in this tourney?

CAF needs to start using VAR. River Angels were robbed in that Mamelodi Sundowns game.

She run tirelessly.. I think wearing the Captain band gave her more moral to play harder. I just pray we qualify for the U20 Women's World Cup so she can gain more experience before graduating to the Superfalcons..


Oluwatosin Demehin
Imuran Ramat
Abiodun Deborah
Precious Christopher
Damilola Koku... For the U20

BascoVanVeli:
She is good enough to start for the super falcons. We don't have a midfielder has industrious as her.

This girl is really the Kind of Midfielder we want.. The Younger version of Rita Chikwelu back then in 2006-2010..

She's such a Workerholic, She would give Regina Otu a run for her Money very soon..

Dutch Star Lieke Martens say yes to her Man..

Superfalcons November Camp...
List will be made public soon..


Minsk FK have confirmed the Invitation of Onome Ebi and Regina Otu for the Superfalcons November Camp in Abuja..

Oshoala to miss Nigeria camp after Barcelona star ruled out for two-month with injury


Asisat Oshoala is set to be out of action for two months and has been ruled out of the Nigeria camp in November later this month in Abuja after picking up a hamstring injury.

The Nigeria international was forced off in the second half of Barcelona's 4-0 Champions League group stage win over Hoffenheim on Wednesday and assessments have revealed she will not be fit to join the Super Falcons camp.

According to the club's statement on Friday, The Nigerian suffered a "rupture of the posterior cruciate ligament of the right knee and will be about two months off".

The news will come as a blow to Randy Waldrum, who had initially included the Super Falcons captain for selection ahead of the international break from November 22-30 in build up to February's showdown to Cote d'Ivoire.

timay:
Finally, a straight female US footballer. They are like an endangered species in recent years.

She isn't the first nor the 10th.

There are most of them who are straight, married too with husband while some have Boyfriend's..


The NWSL is the number one league in the World with the highest numbers of married women and Mother's well known..
While some of them that are Lesbians or probably Bi and Megan Rapinoe been a popular figure again covered the rest..

Congratulations to USA Utility Player Crystal Dunn...

Crazy things are happening..

Abiondun Deborah should be Groom now...
She would make a great Defensive, Central/Box-to-Box Midfielder..

Morocco 2022: Waldrum reveals Nigeria’s preparation plans for Cote d’Ivoire tie

Nigeria women’s head coach Randy Waldrum has opened up on his preparation plans for the final round showdown next February with Cote d’Ivoire.
The Super Falcons bowed 1-0 to Ghana in the second leg in Accra but still progress to the second thanks to a 2-0 first leg triumph in Lagos to keep alive their title defence hopes at Morocco 2022.

With the Ivorian ruining the Nigerians’ 12-year Olympic return at Tokyo 2020 in 2019, the African champions will aim to avoid a back-to-back crash to the Elephants and the American gaffer is confident of putting up an improved side.

“We’re are still looking at some players that we would have wanted to have here for these matches were not available for various reasons,” Waldrum told SavidNews.com.

“We will get those players hopefully all done by February. We will have more depth and a stronger group with those players we are bringing in. There are also a few more internationals that we’ve wanted to see but couldn’t for various reasons.

“Hopefully, we can get some games in the November [international] break and look at these other internationals to make the team stronger. I will also be back in Nigeria to get a camp for the domestic players and take a closer look at a lot of them.

“People have complained about the age of the team but you also need to have a balance of bringing youth in but also have enough experience to get us through a match like this.


“It was really important having some senior players to see it out. I think we have the opportunity to prepare for Cote d’Ivoire and allow us to be together as a group.”

Nigeria is scheduled to host Cote d’Ivoire in the first leg in Lagos before the second round, second leg in Abidjan between 14 to 23 February 2022.
