Is Morocco fast becoming our nemesis in female football?

From Ghana to South Africa now Morocco. We are gradually losing grip of continental football. Only our under age groups are making us proud...

robosky02:
Its a shame what the Arab nations are doing to football

Just hope bayelsa queens can focus on the game and do the needful

What's this news I'm hearing that Tunisia are under FIFA's red alert due to their government's interference in football and that Italy, Nigeria or Mali may replace Tunisia if government persist...

But why do Nigerian teams lose their first matches in tournament and in friendlies?

Deltamani:
Nigeria (3) - (2) Germany

Hope this doesn't go into penalties ooo

TheSuperNerd:
Nigeria up 2-0.

A fine direct freekick goal.

And a penalty.

Full time score - U23
Nigeria 2-0 Tanzania (3-1 Aggregate)

Timileyi Ogunniyi - 61
Success Makanjuola - 68 (Penalty)

Nigeria faces either Guinea/Uganda for next round

Naijafootballers are Organisers of the Annual Ballers Awards and they have a huge media presence on Instagram.

So uhmmm... It's my debut on their show. Expect to see more of me via that medium.

P.S: Now many curious ones will see the face behind the moniker. Lol

Enjoy, for those interested.

I finally get to see the face of Nerdie or should I call you Dave Michael?

I don't want Nigeria to win

Haba?

Salisu and his brood and sale business

Yesterday they drew 1-1 with 3SC @ Ibadan in a friendly. 3SC scored first in the 2nd half and they equalized via penalty. Not sure this team is ready to face Tanzania. Hope we are not disgraced this weekend. Even the foreign based are unknown and play in lower leagues or 2nd/3rd divisions. Why were the Ladan Bosso u20 boys not selected for this game? Only Nathaniel Nwosu is u20 GK, John Amah was once an u17 GK two or three years ago. Success Makanjuola played last year for the u20s.

U-17 WWCQF 2022

USA v Nigeria
Colombia v Tanzania
Germany v Brazil
Japan v Spain

If we could just beat USA & Tanzania beats Colombia, then that will be great because we could meet Tanzania in the semis. Good luck to the African representatives.

Salisu streamline U-23 Eagles team to 18
nigeriasoccernet.com Oct 20, 2022 6:45 AM

The U-23 Nigeria football team set to jet off to Tanzania for their first leg AFCON qualifier on Thursday against Tanzania, Coach Salisu Yusuf has named an 18-man list for the clash.

The team list consist eleven players from the Nigeria Professional Football and seven players who play in foreign leagues.

Isaiah Ejeh of Mjallby of Sweden, Promise David of Sirens Fc of Malta, Michael Ologo Inainfe of Istanbulspor, Ogunniyi Oluwatimileyin Abiodun of Fk Auda in latvia, Adeyemo Oluwapelumi Emmanuel of Fc Vizela in Portugal, Success Makanjuola (Team captain) of CD Diocesano in Spain, Hezekiah Okirikpo Dundalk Fc of Ireland.

The Home based players;

Naziru Auwalu Ibrahim of Rangers Int’l of Enugu, Munir Idris of Niger Tornadoes, Edidiong Enobong Ezekiel of Remo Stars, Daniel Wotlai from Abia Warriors, Christopher Nwaeze from Plateau United, Evans Ogbonda from Akwa United, Qudus Olamilekan Akanni of Remo Stars Nathaniel Nwosu water fc, Dominion Ohaka both from Water Fc Abuja, Amah John of Yum-Yum Fc, Bamayi Calocho of Yum-Yum Fc.

The Olympic Eagles are expected to depart the shores of Nigeria on Thursday via Lagos to face Tanzania U23 team in the first leg of the U23 AFCON qualifiers on Saturday.

The return leg is slated for 29th October in Ibadan.

Deltamani:
And this is a Spain team without 15 top players? Making USA look pretty out of sorts.

It’s not surprising that Spain is out possessing, it’s deeply woven in the methodology that’s instructed from the grassroots level to the senior team. So for players to step in after not playing together and playing the same style is something to be said.

Coach Bankole Olowookere was busy running his mouth before the game instead of planning. The German coach clearly studied us in the 2nd half and capitalized on Usani's weak defense. When the captain (Dan Zossu) got injured it also affected the team. That No 10 (Afolabi) is too short that she was overpowered by the taller Germans in midfield. The goals we conceded were too cheap.

We should try to win our next two games. Already Chile tops the group by 3pts followed by Germany (3pts), Nigeria (0pt), New Zealand (0pt).

USA roasting hosts India 5-0 now
Other scores finished
Chile 3-1 New Zealand
Brazil 1-0 Morocco

May God help our girls to win this game

How are the Flamingos playing?

The girls can do it.
Flamingos fly high!

Whatever Lampard did to Iwobi is really working. Iwobinho has been rebranded...Its time we hand over the No 10 jersey to him ooo

maidaboi:
Randy need to follow his elder brother Rohr

Randy is killing our women football. Gusau should do the needful. He failed to bring in Patricia George and Esther Okoronkwo. Our players are losing faith in him

Kog45:
Really appreciate Frank Lampard for believing in Iwobi.I remember how he changed very average Tomori to a real CB and Tammy will never forget Lampard for giving him the platform.

But you know that Lampard told Tammy that he was only good for the championship and that made him cry at Chelsea

Deltamani:
I don’t think anybody should blame Coach Waldrum if the team loses this time. It won't be his fault entirely.

we have a match less than 24 hours players are still arriving, while the Nadashiko are already complete strategising.. Tony Payne, Asisat Oshoala plays in Spain too what’s the reasons for the delay? VISA or ticket or what?

Okobi and her Bestie Halima …. HMMMMM

Yewande, Otu are based in France, same Nnadozie arrived camp 24hrs ago….

By the way all league games for the Weekend Finished 2nd of October mostly in the afternoon because most of their games where played early 11am upwards … So 3rd and 4th isn’t enough to travel?

Lackadaisical attitude is what I describe this. Why were Imuran, Ebi, Rita not called up? What is also paining me is that Patricia George has been left out of the national team. When will Waldrum invite her then?

The injunction has allegedly been lifted by the appeals court. News came in hours ago
