I guess Asisat Oshoala @31+ is still the fastest forward the SuperFalcons of Nigeria have…

Nawaaaaa 🤦‍♂️

What happened to the pace and power which was our major strength upfront⁉️

I guess players with Speed like Stella Mbachu, Vera Okolo, Esther Sunday (still the most Skillful SuperFalcons winger ever), Fransisca Ordega comes once in a blue moon. 🌙

How Una see this move should it materialize?

Personally don't think this is the best move for the Super Falcons long term. First I think Swedish football philosophy in women's football is dated. He's also not handled a worthwhile coaching task since his resignation from Nigeria in 2019.

I think we need a young, motivated and dynamic coach who gives a hoot. Not sure about this one but we'll see.

The rumor is there but is a NO…..

We should go for a younger Dutch or Spanish Coach… American Coach won’t be bad either.

One thing is that the SuperFalcons players can’t speak out publicly so as not to lose their spot in the team, there were alot said…

I pity the girls sef…

When Randy said it himself that Madugu and co weren’t good enough for the team, they said he was hating.. The players themselves were saying the same things but can’t do that in Public..

At least it lead to a total revolution but again let’s see how it goes…

If they must get a coach, it must be a World Class Foreign Coach that can pressure the NFF for all the necessary things the team need to grow as Randy did in the past because the local coaches can’t speak up….!

The only Lady among the Ex- internationals that I can vouch for is Florence Omagbemi, she’s a no nonsense woman. Mercy Akide will play safe💯

I can’t say about Nkiru Okosieme as she’s more focused on her Youth team Coaching in the US.

A little back story, When NFF wanted Omagbemi to return as Head Coach, they gave her the Condition to come stay in Nigeria 🇳🇬 and Coach the team, She said a Big NO to them that she will have to come from the 🇺🇸 regularly to do her job.

They said she’s too stubborn, when she approached NFF because of th girls Salaries and Wages after the 2016 WAFCON they kicked her out that she’s too bold…

Ask the SuperFalcons players especially those set that played under Omagbemi as Assistant Coach at 2012 U20 and 2016 as Head Coach, they all give praises to her.

I’m only speaking from what I know of.. 💯

The only thing right now is that Omagbemi is still coaching Youth team in the US.. I wish she take on a bigger role like main Club coach in the USL or among the NWSL..

But if they want an Ex-International her name comes first… But NFF no like who dey challenge them ohh.. one of the reasons you see the likes of Ann Chiejene, Madugu, Christopher Danjuma there for long..

If the team have qualified for the World Cup at least I would have been grateful…

But he ruined everything… I value SuperFalcons pass Super Eagles💯

I believe there’s still time for those names to join the team..

Predator87:

Another victim of NFF mediocrity and unprofessionalism

🟦BREAKING: Reports indicate that NFF President Ibrahim Gusau and the NFF board have resigned.

The reported development comes amid mounting pressure on the leadership of Nigerian football following a series of setbacks and growing scrutiny over the administration of the federation.

The Super Falcons’ historic failure to qualify for the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup is among the recent setbacks.

Official confirmation is still awaited. More details to follow.

What is happening?

Fanny Amun has resigned as the Chairman of the inaugurated Federation’s newly-composed Fact-finding Committee on Nigeria Football Setbacks.

Why baba run?

..

Amun;

“I didn’t want anyone to influence the report before I submitted it to the NFF. That was why I submitted it and resigned.

“I told everyone, including members of the committee, that it would take two weeks, even though I knew it would not take me more than one week. This was because I didn’t want anyone to influence the fact-finding committee’s decisions so, I decided to submit the report and resign.

“Moreover, I am not someone who will spend more than enough time in a position."

Fair enough.

It seems the U20 Falconets are now in Poland

Let me remind you all that this girls haven’t been paid Match bonuses from the qualifying matches ooh…

23-year-old Super Falcons defender, Oluwatosin Demehin has signed a three year contract with Portuguese side, SL Benfica Feminino.

AdemolaSports understands that a few other players have also been affected by the visa situation.

It is a major blow for the Falconets, with Igbokwe having played a key role in Nigeria’s qualification campaign.

Congratulation Stella Gotal.

🇿🇼 New Era for the Mighty Warriors! ⚽

ZIFA has appointed Croatian-born Stella Gotal as the new Head Coach of the Zimbabwe Senior Women’s National Team, the Mighty Warriors.

Gotal is a UEFA Pro Licence holder and brings valuable international coaching experience to Zimbabwe. She has previously worked with the Gibraltar Women’s National Team and has also been involved with Croatia and Saudi Arabia at U17 women’s level.

Before moving into coaching, Gotal played football in the Croatian women’s league, giving her experience both on the pitch and from the technical area.

A new chapter now begins for Zimbabwe women’s football as Stella Gotal takes charge of the Mighty Warriors. 🇿🇼⚽

Welcome to Zimbabwe, Coach Stella Gotal! 🇭🇷🇿🇼

I just remembered Joy Bokiri 27yrs+… One talented Central/Attacking Midfielder I thought would own the SuperFalcons Midfield from her U17 days…

In a Space of 7 — 10yrs No is nowhere to be seen.

When we talk about potential and player development, we often make the mistake of saying things like:

“She’s this good at only 18? Imagine her in five years” “I love her, but she’s 28. She’ll decline soon, we should go for someone younger”...

Because we tend to think about player progression as if it were linear:

A young talent appears, peaks around 25 and then starts declining around 30.

But the reality is often way more complex.

In real life, development and progression can depend on a LOT of factors.

Some players spend years in the wrong position before someone finally sees them differently or understands them better, and suddenly everything clicks. Some get forgotten after a bad year but reach their true level in a better environment, sometimes much later. Others stagnate or decline for years before suddenly reaching a new peak nobody saw coming...

Precious Christopher Finally left Tanzania 🇹🇿 to Turkey 🇹🇷

Now that the @officialEFCC and @icpcnigeria are involved…

Now, under Corporal Madaru, even with Africa presenting 4 direct slot and 2 playoffs, we won’t be there with our star-studded team.

Omoh, we entered ‘one chance’ with Temu Coach.

No wonder Amaju want to come back😂😂
