The Eq. Guineans are depending on the off-side trap for defending.

We gats show initiative to break that trap to score more goals to win.

We should have scored like 3 goals in the 1st half had we not wasted our chances.

Hope we don't regret this later.

Oga Sag, so you dey around? Why we nor see you for the AWC threads abi shey na becos nor be age grade competition?

Here is a comment posted by someone on Channels site. The matter is as simple as ABC. . .I wonder why CAF is reluctant to conduct the gender test

Meanwhile the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has officially demand that the Confederation of African Football (CAF) conduct a gender test for Salimata Simpore and two other Equitorial Guinea players. . . .

I'm very happy this aint no age grade competetion,else those lazy arm-chair sports analysts on nairaland,Nigerian TV and radio stations would have written off the achievements of our girls and shouted that we fielded over-aged players
So this is for all y'all

Heehehe. . .funny thing is I haven't seen a "particular" Nairalander who is obsessed with age-cheating post a comment or commend their performance since the AWC began.

I'm sure if it were an age group competition, he'd be posting regularly and be screaming "age cheats" all over the forum

Man, i took time to visit the foreign league section, couldn't believe my eyes with all the match day threads springing up, even for clubs like wolves, cat, sunderland and co, i can't but weep at the way we have totally neglected our way, but we are quick to insult them, something good is going on in our league, yet none of them is ready to come support it.

i am freaking angry

I feel you but there's nothing you can do to curb their addiction to those foreign leagues. Lets just concentrate on supporting, promoting and hyping our league.

Na free world, so each to his own

Off topic but has anyone noticed that female football powerhouse, USA may not qualify for Germany 2011?

They lost in the semifinal of their Continental Qualifying Championship to Mexico (1-2) thereby failing to pick one of the two automatic spots. However, they beat Costa-Rica in the 3rd place match and will now face Italy (best loser in Europe) in a 2-leg playoff on Nov 20 & 27.

Meanwhile, Ghana and Cameroun, group opponents of Equitorial Guinea have accused accused them of fielding men in this AWC . Read below

A GENDER cheating row is currently brewing against Equatorial Guinea, which both Ghana and Cameroun have claimed is fielding men in the ongoing African Women’s Championship (AWC) in South Africa.

Two Black Queens’ players, Diana Ankomah and captain Florence Okoe, claim that Guinea used three men during their final Group B game on Monday. Cameroun has also filed an official complaint against Guinea for similar age and gender claims.

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) is refusing to comment on the issue, as this is the second consecutive tourney at which the Guineans have been accused of gender cheating. Salimata Simpore, Bilguisa Simpore and team captain Genoveva Ayonmang were in 2008 suspected to be boys.

Indeed, against Ghana, both Simpore and Ayonmang were looking too strong for their opponents, with the latter’s goal for her team’s second of the game a shot any male goalkeeper could have found difficult stopping. Black Queens’ captain, Okoe, said no one would make her yield in her belief that Simpore was “a boy playing in a girls’ game.”

She said: “It is not as if we are throwing sour grapes just because we have lost. Rather, this is the fact and it is up to the organisers to do something about this. It is not good for African women football.”

Ankomah also said that despite their disappointing finish, they were only feeling unhappy with the gender of the opposition. She echoed to NAN the claim that at least two of Equatorial Guinea’s players were not girls, saying: “To lose a football game is not something we don’t know how to take, that is now normal for us as footballers.
“But losing to unequal opposition like in this case of Equatorial Guinea is painful. You only need to have physical contact with them to know this, and we can tell from what happened most times during the match.”

The allegation had reverberated during the last edition of the competition as host, Equatorial Guinea, romped to the title, with Nigeria one of the two countries to raise a complaint then. The competition organiser, the Confederation of African Football (CAF), had, however, waved the allegation then, saying its investigation revealed that the “boys” were really girls.

Efforts to get CAF to comment on the allegation yielded no fruit, as the Match Commissioner, Souaadatou Kalkaba, told NAN that she was not competent to speak on the issue. Hours after their exit from the ongoing tourney in South Africa, the Black Queens are feeling that their loss in their final match was not “ordinary.”

Ghana lost 1-3 to Guinea on Monday evening at Daveyton’s Sinaba Stadium in Johannesburg to crash out of the continental event. The Ghanaians had needed a win to progress from Group B to the semi-finals, but the second match day’s 1-2 loss to Cameroun put them in a difficult position.

Anyway, I can't say I'm surprised cos that was the same complain that was made by all the teams that played against Equitorial Guinea in 2008. It just shows how messed up CAF as an organization is.

Hopefully, now that they've qualified for the world cup, this matter will be investigated and the true gender of those players will be determined.

Who thief your kele abi you follow your wife/babe fight

Pharoh:
Stop that lie abeg, how many of them are Nigerians and how has even played in this tourney, this is not 2008.

There are four Nigerians in the Equitorial Guinea team. . .2 of them played against South Africa yesterday - Chinasa Okoro (no 15) & the no 7 (Blessing Nwabugwu. . .not sure of the Surname).

Apart from the Nigerians, they also have a Brazilian (Caroline Parreira) and a Spaniard (Jade Boho) in their team.

Och77:
I thank God Equitorial Guinea as qualified to represent Africa as the ''men'' in their squad will surely be revealed by FIFA. And as to which team will win the African final, falcons should win if all players are women.

Bros, cool down. . .na only one player of "questionable gender" dem get and thats the no 8, Salimata Simpore. All the others are females. Be that as it may, if Cameroun could come from 2 goals down to force Eq. Guinea to a draw, then I see no reason why we shouldn't be able to beat them "Man" or not. Even S.A marked him/her out until the extra-time.

I agree with you sha. . .African Sports Organisations are not proactive and decisive on issues like this. The same complain about Salimata was made by all the teams that played against Eq. Guinea in 2008 and even by the Ghanaians in this competition and yet CAF hasn't investigated the matter.

With Eq. Guinea's qualification for the world cup, the issue of Salimata Simpore's true gender will be investigated and determined. Me think se if she nor be man, she go be hermaphrodite (like Iyabo Abade). No how wey Salimata go be woman

honeric01:
Oh, you need a manager? have you tried to contact Emeka Uwani? he is often heard saying Rangers is looking for new players, why not call him up? you can get his number from Godwin Ekhakhena of Sport splash LTV 8 LAGOS. who knows, you are likely to find a better job, he's also the media personnel to the NPL.

He most definitely needs a manager but it won't come cheap as the good ones have media connections and "Abuja" connections which they use to promote & push their players. Many of them go just open office on top the guy head.

Also being simply good ain't enough to get a player signed in open trials (particularly for unknown players). . .the guy gats drop cos the mentality of most of these club administrators & coaches is "the guy nor go remember me when im don make am.

Pharoh:
Nigeria Vs Guinea on Sunday. 

You're wrong! It's not Nigeria Vs Guinea but Nigeria Vs Equitorial Guinea on Sunday

honeric01:
^^^^^

Oh well, never heard of that but thanks, but then there was no African women's nations cup? how then did they select the falcons to represent us?

China 91 was the first female world cup we went to. I still recall Chioma Ajunwa (the olympic long jump Gold medallist) was part of that team
