Okay okay… See Maureen Umeh has been in the Age grade set up of the National Team before she left to Turkey at 19yrs, If she isn’t good enough I don’t think she would get such chance of earning a Call up talk more of moving abroad.

She’s such a Complete Central Defender with a great Height Advantage one of the reasons she’s been labeled as Nigeria🇳🇬 Wendie Renard. The qualities of a top tier CB is there, Strong and Aggressive got nominated as one of the Best Defender In🇹🇷 in her first Season earned a move to France D2 side US Saint Malo where she played last season before moving on to Nantes FC..

We shouldn’t forget what we call Opportunity also and I believe she will definitely take her chance in the SuperFalcons when the time comes..

I personally appreciate your efforts on this thread as you have enriched it abundantly. As for the players, the more quality players available, the merrier

What is vexatious is when some people make ridiculous comparison based on bias...trying to pitch a player against another. using illogical yardstick. They can all shine without trying to diminish another light..especially when its not justified at the remote instance..

Hope she comes good

I usually refrain from using certain languages on here or even replying people...But What an Idiot!!! Please switch on the lights every now and then...It'll really pay off!!

Lol .....wonder who the idiot is...you made a claim out of just watching only 20 sec of highlight from a div 2 match that was preposterous and foolish. The odour of that pungent claim forced me to fan it out.

And what is it with the confused statement that you" usually refrain from using certain languages on here or even replying people...But What an Idiot!!!".If you are going to cry after your takes are corrected, then you should think thoroughly before making your postulations public

You actually need to switch the lights in your brain on...its pitch dark in there at the moment

lovewins, I know you’re different from me but I’m definitely not one to reply or engage dimwits. I know an intelligent person when I see one and he’s not worth wasting your time on or attempting to educate.

His brain is filled with insults, not logic. Just leave him be and add him to the list of the blacklisted monikers on the thread. Everytime he extorts a reaction from you, it’s a win for him. Don’t give him or his brothers that.

Hypocritical mumu...you are feeling funky on a faceless platform. In one breath, you accuse someone of insults and in your first sentence, you are calling yourself a dimwit. i can see how intelligent you are. Him and his brothers.? you are tripping.

i give off the energy i receive....

BascoVanVeli:
Last I checked this is a football thread not a cult so I can form my own opinion. The fact that everyone has the same opinions doesn't mean I have to conform.

Its not even everyone here that thinks like that.....just a few vocal ones that are happy to throw a fellow country woman who is in a vintage position under the bus, instead of encouragement and support....calling for the club to bench and replace her, just as she is trying to build herself to full fitness. A place she has proved herself already

lovewins:
This is the last time I'll engage you. You obviously can put your emotions in check and have intelligent arguments. Your pronouncing me a hater doesn't make me one. You were so blinded by your rage you cant even see that I clearly stated "injury didn't help". Did injury also affect her at Arsenal? BTW, read my last post, the argument wasn't even is calling into question her illustrious career, the conversation is centered around her missing chances which is recent.

It's obvious you're impossible to reason with. It's bye from here.

hmm...okay. Talking about intelligent arguments. At least we both agree that she has an illustrious career, which is not by chance but by her prodigious goal scoring talent.

And you are stating that its just a recent thing, last 2 years to be precise, that she has been losing chances abysmally. wouldn't it make a more viable argument that her lack of fitness and consistency, due to recurring injuries happening to her might have been affecting her.. An objective critic would have been to hammer on her playing regularly and hopefully without injury so she gets back to her full self...

But all you have been doing is calling her talent to question, pulling her down, and hoping she gets replaced ASAP...because she has been losing too much chances according to you..somebody that have proved herself as a prolific goalscorer, wit well known injury and fitness problem

You should look in the mirror if you are looking for an emotional critic. A prolific goalscorer suddenly dont know how to score goals?
it doesn't take too much intelligence to know why she might be having a bit of cobwebs in her game.

All she needs is consistency and full fitness to get back to herself fully...we shouldn't be putting our own down

lovewins:
It's obvious you don't even follow the career of the person you so vehemently "defend". Oshoala didn't have the best of time in England. She scored a total of 3 goals for Liverpool (injury didn't help) and scored a total of 2 goals with Arsenal. Her not too good spell is what informed her move to China where she had a fantastic season (where she was top scorer) that helped facilitate her loan to Barcelona after which they signed her permanently. So your claim isn't exactly far from the truth. She also didn't win the pichichi back to back, she's only won it once which she shared with Geyse.

Oga u are just a hater. Despite missing two months of the 2015 season for liverpool with a knee injury she still scored three goals in the nine games. a whole two months out. Its even remarkable that its her first experience abroad, straight from Rivers Angels.

lovewins:
Only small minds resort to insults to make their arguments. I'll give the benefit of doubt that you aren't the moniker I think you her hence this response (I usually don't respond to people who resort to insults.

First, the conversation has context. Your moniker is new and you aren't a frequent contributor here, so the ideal thing will be to observe before butting into conversations you know next to nothing about. Everyone who expressed critical views about Oshoala's finishing (myself inclusive) her one of Oshoala's biggest promoters. You can do a quick search of Oshoala on the platform going back the last 2 years and you'll see that. Many of us watch her play every weekend and are some of her biggest defenders on the YouTube stream when she's subjected to attacks (some valid) by Barca fans. So to reduce valid criticism to being hateful or being "not sound upstairs" is being pedestrian and unintelligent at best.

I think it's fair to ask, how many Barcelona femini games did you watch the last 2 years? Not highlights, full games? I don't want to argue with someone who obviously doesn't watch games and only resort to stars to argue.

Barcelona femini is a free scoring side. They create the most chances probably of any female football team in Europe. Oshoala putting up the number she does is a consequence of that and noc necessarily because of anything spectacular she does. It's why she's found it difficult to replicate same at the national team cause the Super Falcons is obviously not Barca. This isn't an attempt to take away from how good a player she is, it's just saying things the way they are.

Just to give context Barcelona being a free scoring side, in the 2022/2023 UEFA champions League Oshoala scores 5 goals total, but so did Aitana. Geyse, Rolfo, Patri and Mariona all had 4 goals. In the 2022/2023 Liga F Oshoala scored 21 goals, ut we had at least 4 other members of the team with double digits number of goal. (Salma 11, Pina 10, Aitana 10, Graham Hensen 11).

In 2021/2022 Liga F season, she was joint top scorer with Geyse as they both scored 20 goal each. That same season however, Barcelona had at least 5 others scoring double digits (Putellas 18, Martens 17, Hermoso 16, Pina 15, Aitana 13). In the champions League of same season Oshoala scored 1 goal with Alexia leading scoring for Barcelona with 11 goals. Hermano and Aitana both had 5 and 4 goals respectively.

I wish I had access to data that shows the number of chances that led to these goals to give a better picture. Point is, Oshoala is definitely a good played and everyone here roots for her, but if is fair criticism to say she's been terrible when to comes to converting chances. The fact that she's scored 20 goals the last 2 seasons doesn't change that.

You are just been hypocritical. U made subtle insult and denigration in ur first reply and even in this reply, yet u claiming moral high grounds,

You have written a whole lot, and still dont get the point. you say she is very poor in terms of finishing, but she outscore her teammates mostly. You now claim its because barca create so much chances...pray tell, is barca the only team she gas played for?? and if her team mates are actually scoring less, even as injury limited her appearance this past few season, does that not mean her teammates are bad finishers too

During the 2019-20 season, Oshoala scored 20 goals in her 19 appearances for Barcelona. what her the goals and appearance effort of the others. she was named as the best player at the 2014 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup and was the top goalscorer at the tournament with seven goals. went to China won top goalscorer again. and you say she has a weakness in finishing??

if you still say she has a fundamental flaw in finishing then you will not be so bright, cos all those other strikers,,,which by the way are many, and dont have flaws according to you, dont have her scoring records, she has been prolific everywhere and way back,,,so to put it on barcelona is quite jejune

CoolJulian:
You always rush to defend her. Does it mean everyone else notices this weakness of hers but you? Could it be that they all are just hating on her?

So her weakness is poor finishing, yet she is top scorer in major competitions and league from her youth days till now. In different countries and back to back pichichi in arguably the strongest competition in the world..make it make sense please.

and please, dont allude to her speed cos we have many players faster than her in both the male and female game who are not prolific goalscorers..

lovewins:
Lol

I am laughing seriously as I type this. The first thought that came to my mind as I read that comment was this sounded like the other guy I promised not to respond to again. To see someone else think the same was amusing. I won't even engage cause it's obvious they don't watch Barcelona like many of us here do. You can love Oshoala and root for her while at the same time make objective comments on her performances.

mad men laugh at themselves all the time, no pun intended. just like oga Basco alluded, u said same nonsense that her finishing is poor last season, yet she was one of the top scorer AGAIN in the league. if not even the top scorer in the team....are you now saying the whole of barca or even the spanish league dont know how to finish? u can see how ridiculous you sound when you hyperventilate about her missed chances. She is not the only striker in that league and the spanish league is one of the strongest, if not the strongest league, yet she has continuously claimed top scorer over and over again...except logic is alien to you....then it means if her finishing is poor, and she is top goal scorer, what does that say to the rest of the strikers in that league....

except maybe your judgement is laced with bias, or you are generally not sound upstairs...

Kibbs:
Empty barrels always make the loudest noise. Anyone who follows Barca women knows she’s always in and out of the team for various reasons and it’s rare she gets a long run of matches in the starting position.

You can change your moniker a million times but you can’t change your thought process or your limited vocabulary. We know who you are, internet warrior.

you are the dumb one making the noise here...i dont really have the time to engage here often has its littered with puerile minds like you here, the kind of things you read that turns your stomach. Oshoala has been magnificent in Barca colors, topping goal charts year in year out, getting nominated for best in the world picks, and you, this useless armchair critic would be typing outlandish, totally dumb opinions claiming she is poor in finishing..gosh you are really dumb...so is it her alter ego or clone that has been claiming top score everywhere she goes?....true her form can dip a bit, and that is what a sensible person would think...but no.....you.... the pseudo Guardiola of naija who probably has not applied himself effectively to anything before...would know better....

Deltamani:
Again the Player we’re talking about is just 21 and has Played In Turkey top Division before she moved down to France D2…!

Look at Regina Otu for Example she was playing in Belarus 🇧🇾 and decided to go to France D2 and play for As Saint Etienne, now she’s back in the French D1..!

im not saying she aint good enough...what im against is trying to compare to another player who obviously had more impact in the teams they played for. the other poster was saying she better than Demehin, after just watching her in a div 2 match for 20 sec...thats obviosly a foolish conclusion.
All objective indices claims Demehin is a lot better...from a strong under 20 performance to the super falcons....stable and strong member of Stade Riems,,a premier club in france...all the coaches that saw and picked her aint dumb....unless u saying you are wiser than the actual professionals that coach in elite leagues and also the national team coach....heck..i cant even remember her name and ive been watching the junior national team for some time...if she cant make a serious impression then, she aint that so good...not saying she cant improve and be world best,...but for now, its only a prejudiced mind that would say she is better than Demehin who didnt even have a bad world cup

ThePresenceWtf:
Just 20 seconds into this highlight, she's already better than Demehin in Confidence, composure on and off the ball, ball retention, progression and carrying. Unlike Demehin who treats the ball on her feet like hot Potatoes 😂😂😂😂

Anywho, let me continue watching to see what she does with positioning and defensive actions...I shall return with a verdict expeditiously... 😂😂

dull thinking, dull opinion. Better than Demhin after watcing for 20 sec...someone who also played under 20 without much impact, playing in division 2.......unintelligent post

lovewins:
I'll be surprised if they renew her contract. Now that Geyse has gone, this will be the time for her to cement her place, but this misses aren't helping her case.

wow...cement her place? someone that has been back to back top scorer for the team. the only hiccups she had was caused by injury. She has been a vert integral part....in fact a dominant part of the team.

The kind of opinions on this thread can be stupendously funny...laced with biases and prejudice

Deltamani:
Honestly, it feels like some of these federations saw the USSF make no changes and still win the WC in 2019 and thought that they could do it too. But they forgot that the US women have set the standard for equal pay and workplace standards so other players have a model the follow now. They US women weren't the only trailblazers (I'm looking at you Ada Hegerberg) but it helps.

I saw a great exchange between Hegerberg and Yuki Nagasato today. Ada was supporting the French players and continuing to speak out and Yuki responded with "I stepped away from the national team 7 years ago because of lack of respect from them. But I couldn't speak out at the time. But now Time to act, yes and speak louder 🔥."

This isn't new but the players have examples to follow, they have more security, and they have better platforms. And as Pinoe said last year, once the players finish with their Federation(s), watch out FIFA, you're next.

Oga this is supposed to be Nigerian female national team platform...you bring too many distractions on here that qualifies as spamming. Why you carry french team news wahala for head na??.

Please we have enough issues to deal with ourselves. you have been bringing so many irrelevant news here that distracts from the aim of this thread. You can create a thread that reads world female football issues and news thread and engage it fully. Lets focus on Nigeria mainly as that is the aim of this thread...plsss

hmmm

@TAO11, you are obviously a very intelligent person and am so proud of you. You are very well read and shows how hardworking and detailed you are. would like to learn from you

BanyXchi:
I think I know you on Twitter bro, I appreciate everything you do to defend Yoruba race from these evil Edo urchins.. These people are everywhere spreading their propagandaa. The good news is there's ethnic nationalism growing among the new generation of Yorubas, it's a just matter of time, Edo people will be put in their place soon. Once I saw the line 'stop claiming Itsekiris' I don know say na Bini urchin.

lightonscam might not be bini..he might actually be from one of the groups in Yagba. But he is obviously suffering from some sort of complex, i mean...its obvious from the Yagba variant of Yoruba that he teaches. His sense of identity is muddled up and he is trying hard to fill the pseudo gaps he created to justify his delusions.

thesicilian:
1. You started the talk about tribal sentiments and I just showed you a mirror.

2. I know about the Mustapha "revelations" but no where did it mention Tinubu.

3. If you think APC has destroyed the country why then where you in support of Osibanjo?

4. If you think the problem is both APC and PDP then why are you in support of Obi who was a member of PDP until a few months ago when he left because he wasn't sure of the party ticket?

5. Wouldn't you and all your Igbo brothers be campaigning for PDP right now if Peter Obi had managed to obtain the party nomination?

6. What did Obi achieve while being a governor in terms of security, infrastructural development, poverty alleviation etc as a governor in Anambra state that now qualifies him to rule the whole country? Where you not all bitterly criticizing his leadership while he was governor?

Matured thinking....salient questions. Most people dont think for themselves in this country, just to follow bandwagon like goats

kudos for trying to help people out...i will do same too..soon

I expected too much from Seun. I was thinking perharp he would have known how they operate.

If you noticed, the guy called Seun, the owner of this site is, is not so bright...check his statements and thought process, on Twitter and on here. You will find his IQ not so high...

We are humans and we are bound to make mistakes. The few US military assigned to the task was under tension at that stage because the killer beast were surplus and mixed with civilians that's probably why the target wasn't accurate.
At least US Forth for good reasons.

whren you have chilldren, and some like 2 or 3 years. and a bomb strike blows them to pieces with you seeing thieir pieces here and there right at your house where you live, i hope you will have this same mentality of :oh they just made a mistake". if they considered othetr lives are as important as american lives. they would have been very sure before killingwiping out a whole family based on feelings...

Hell YKmotors,

Please i need a Toyota Sienna 1999/2000 model. How much would it cost me to get it to Ikorodu, Lagos?

MayorofLagos:
Ode. You need principle underfoot when you take a step and declare self-rule. Ibos are not out here because they are brave. Their fear of whats to become their future in the new political mix is why they are out chanting, no more, no less! If Jonathan had won a mothfckng Ibo will not be out shouting ipob.

Kai. Can't believe you fell for the obvious. The guy you quoted ain't Yoruba.
It's obvious, even to a kid. As an experienced nairalander with a brilliant mind, am finding it hard you couldn't decode. Sad

Gbawe:
Let us not derail the thread. i will just urge you to stop talking because your dishonesty and revisionism is sickening . Assuming what you accuse Tinubu of is correct, are you making sense to yourself or anyone here? The same Tinubu has now helped us gain Buhari as President to replace the destructive GEJ you supported who happened to hate the SW in particular and called the leaders of the region "rascals". Do I need to chronicle the real damage GEJ has done to Nigeria your ilk were begging him to continue doing for another 4 years? Dude, just discuss positives and cut out the hypocrisy and pretensions of piousness. Tinubu is a very big hero to the Yorubas when placed alongside your GEJ.

People like you are better off begging the Yorubas for forgiveness instead of coming here and trying your 'holier than thou' nonsense. Tinubu has done a lot of positives for his people and even Nigeria with how he, more than almost all others, contributed the most to make Buhari President from birthing the idea of the APC merger and actually putting in his personal effort and finance to make it happen on the long and tortuous road to depose the PDP and the very destructive GEJ. It is therefore very disgusting that it is you who supported a man on a personal mission to disgrace and mess up the Yorubas, i.e GEJ, who is now here playing uber Yoruba patriot. Just face the topic and shut up. You are beginning to really piss me off. You should come on this thread and behave with humility because you were a supporter of the PDP and GEJ when both harmed your own ethnic group and Nigeria seriously. Very likely Nigerians would be Syrian-style refugees had GEJ even carried on for another year. Yet, distastefully, you show no contrition at all and are busy attacking those who liberated our entire nation from sure doom. Even when when incontrovertible evidence showed you the destruction GEJ was supervising you still wanted him to carry on leading Nigeria and you now have the nerve to round on Tinubu? Like I said before, some of you are something else.

It will be very unfortunate if a true Yoruba person can't see the deceit and hypocrisy in that Firefire guy. He is a well known PDP pay per post person and a die hard GEJ( his benefactor)supporter, even though the Yorubas were heavily marginalised in his government (and tried to buy the SW with dollars when his fraudulent regime was at its tail end).
The guy is a chamelion...and he has an agenda on this thread. it's sad that some people are actually taking his bait

That guy is not omo ibo, he is Itsekiri, A brother.

That guy (Goodboiy) is Uhrobo. His dad is Uhrobo while the mother is Itsekiri. He is far from being a BROTHER abeg.
