Janet Akekoromowei is a big girl. She has the targetman profile for the number 9 role. A real potential. Harmony Chidi is more mobile, more skillful and can take on her markers.

I won't say Janet is better but she just commands more presence as a number 9 due to her impressive size and height. Harmony has proven herself a real deal number 9.

For me, it is exciting having both competing against each other in their rise to become the Super Falcons' next big number 9.

Both are awesome talents.

Taiwo Afolabi is missing in this team. What happened?

Expanding the finalist of the APOTY to 5 names rather than the usual 3 shows that CAF is up to something sinister..


Well, like somebody said, they would be embarrassing themselves if they give it to anyone other than Lookman...

When I talk una go say I dey hear anything. Oya na

BankyGee:
😂😂😂😂
Still not enough, if there'd be any Moroccan on the top 3 seff, it should definitely be Soufiane Rahimi who actually powered the team to winning the bronze medal, became the first player in Olympics history to score in every single match from group stage till the last game, won the golden boot, scored a hat-trick against Al-Hilal to win the Asian Champions League, won the golden boot and also won the golden boot in the UAE league... 🤷🏾‍♂️

None of them can stop Ademola Lookman.

The politics has been done in Morocco. Winners have already been decided. All these your talk na medicine after death

But why must Morocco host every CAF thing on this continent?

CAF may be plotting for Hakimi to win the APOTY with what we are hearing. But the question is how justifiable is this? We wait and see....

Super Falcons will face either Benin Rep or Sierra Leone in WAFCONQ 2026 qualifiers which also serves as Brazil 2027 world cup qualification. Only 4 semi finalist at WAFCON 2026 will qualify for world cup

If I were SE coach, I will first ask Iwobi of his favorite position then fashion my team around him.

Shikena

ThePresenceWtf:
Damn....Amaka Saved That!! Wow!!

Nice follow up block from the No. 13.

Current score please

lexyman:
its better for us to experience this defeat now , than having it during the WC qualifier ... that will be too bad ...

Exactly...
Better to lose to Rwanda, Benin, South Africa, Lesotho now than next year when world cup qualifiers start.
Now we know who is who.
AE knows that there is serious work to be done. NFF can decide to bring in a foreign coach now (though I think time is short) or we can leave AE and reorganize that technical department by bringing in Siasia as assistant.
I advise we also bring back Ahmed Musa and this time let him play as creative midfielder like Iwobi.
For our defense, it's time we bring in Adarabioyio, Tourinagha, Udokhai into the mix.
Final question. Can we still convince VicMo back to SE?

Samueltemi337:
Don't be too quick to talk

I watched the game too and almost wrote them off and stopped watching at the 83rd minutes only to return and discovered they won. The team is highly talented but have poor finishers. I got pissed off when that girl lost her penalty. Congratulations to Edo queens.👍

Deltamani:
Group stage draw na…

Ok. Thanks

Please when is Edo queens playing their game against Mamelodi Sundowns?

MOROCCO 🇲🇦 2024 WAFCON DRAW

CAF has scheduled the draw for the 2024 Women Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco for next Friday at the Mohammed VI Football Complex in Rabat, with live broadcast on Arriyadia channel.



The 2024 Women's Africa Cup of Nations is set to take place in Morocco from Sat, 5 Jul 2025 – Sat, 26 Jul 2025

I thought qualifiers has already been played?

TheSuperNerd:
I surely understand the frustrations with Iwobi. I have them too. It is why I had really hoped Nwakali came good or was given a shot at some point. But Iwobi is all we've got at this point in time from a creative POV.

Akinsanmiro is still growing but I also think he should be given a shot. Until they look his way, Iwobi is all we have.

Bashiru is not your creative CAM-type... he is a shooter. A scoring MF type who will break the lines with his running, do linkup passes up top and drive into space to receive and strike or lay a simple final ball.

With Iwobi, it is frustrating because he has not had actual competition for his profile for years now. And this is due to the coaches refusing to invite similar player profiles who could give Iwobi a run for his money.

So it is okay to see OOB but don't expect Bashiru to do any incisive creative shit. He is not that profile. He's built different.

For a minute yesterday, I felt we sold the match because of Rohr because Benin were all over us.
AE should learn from yesterday's game.
1. Never play Iwobi and Ndidi in a 3-5-2
pattern. Ndidi gases out easily unlike Onyeka. Iwobi plays too deep
2. Never leave Moses Simon on bench again
3. Iheanacho has lost it. Should not be invited anymore.
4. Let's now see Maduka Okoye in goal against Rwanda
5. Aina is always overworked or stressed out in 3-5-2.

Super Eagles gk stanley Nwabali sadly announces the passing of his father🥺…our condolences to the family of Mr Nwabali

My condolences to him. I knew his mind was not in that game yesterday.

I think we sold this match. Otherwise, I think Rohr is a good coach. He has really studied our team inside out, We would just try to force a draw against Rwanda in Uyo. That's all!

Samueltemi337:
Eguavoen is available

Is he still sick?

Good morning guys. Please give us SE's camp jist

mekabuachi:
Only Sadiq Umar never reach camp until now
That boy abi man life just dey somehow.

Enfant terrible 😀

Any news on Super Eagles camp in Abidjan?

ChrisKels:
Owngoal is reporting that this werey now wants to represent Nigeria after realizing that he isn't good enough for the German team.


Well, I would give him a chance to prove that he is a worthy backup for Bassey.

Who is this guy abeg?
Why do they realize too late? Same thing with Tosin

Like joke like joke, the era of Awaziem and Omeruo in Super Eagles is gradually phasing out ooo.

lexyman:
Mola , he cant stop scoring. Tap in , volley , take on , one on one . name it

Just any style, he is good at it.

Super Eagles List for Benin and Rwanda: November focus

Squad list is out and check out Victor Collins of Nassarawa Utd. Was going to drop a scorenigeria report on him.

Among Sadiq Umar, Cyril Desser and Taiwo Awoniyi who would you pick?

Shame to the Libyan government for arresting and deporting Nigerians for no just cause because of CAF verdict. We have a long way to go in Africa.

if only 2 teams will qualify what’s the point of this game? Make CAF try to dey innovative abeg

This reminds me of the CAF U17 qualifiers where strong teams like Nigeria and Ghana failed to qualify from WAFU B. But I heard that WAFU A was cancelled because almost all the teams failed the MRI scan. CAF should just select Nigeria and Ghana to represent in their place.
