He can't just left cuz last season he was battling injury and very difficult for him to attract any team,except Reggiana but nothing concrete as at now.

I was with him weeks ago I want to tell you that he was in dilemma cuz it was like Milan are not ready to renew his contract, likely Reggiana next available option until Milan offered him two years contract,so it was a big relief.....I just hope he convinced Milan in the next 6 months and attracted Seria B teams for loaning to get needed attention like Akinsanmiro did with Sampdoria.

Good to have promising young lads especially midfielders doing it in big clubs,hopefully Akinsanmiro gets more attention playing in Seria A and Eletu moves for loan than Seria D or getting few appearances for AC Milan this season.

We hope for the best for him. Not easy out there for players.

charlesemeka85:
I said it before and will continue saying it, I don’t see Eletu making it big in men’s football

Na we Dey overhype anything wey we see

Eletu should have left. AC Milan “believes “ in you na Serie D dem send you go.

Their TikTok admin was focusing on creating racist memes of their star player instead of advertising their players' merchandise.

Thank God he's done with them, I need a Champions League match between the two clubs.

E go happen for sure.

BankyGee:
Well, make that 2 Million now!

Super brand! Record setter! Record breaker! King! 👑

This is what I call obsession!!! If we no appreciate our own...others go help us appreciate am!!!

It isn't always about coaching... the player's technique also matters... At the WAFCON, aside Esther, other players like Ijamilusi, Ordega, Payne, Babajide and I think Plumptree also took set pieces... Only Esther and Babajide's set pieces resulted in goals....
IMO, not many players in the SE have good set pieces technique.... Simon has been taking set pieces for the team since god knows when and not up to 5 have resulted in goals

My brother, I am not talking from the position of the taker of the set piece. I am talking from the position of the coordination. The super falcons moved as one unit and beat the offside trap on almost all occasions. That is evidence of good coaching. That’s what I am advocating for in the SE.

Whoever was the Super Falcons set piece coach should be drafted to assist Eric Chelle. The long balls were timed to perfection while beating the offside trap.

Just in:

President Bola Tinubu has announced a cash reward of $100,000 to each Super Falcons player who represented Nigeria at the just concluded 2025 WAFCON tournament in Morocco.

In addition, each player will also get a three-bedroom apartment at the Renewed Hope Housing estate in Abuja, and they will also be conferred with National Awards, receiving an OON (Order of the Officer of the Niger).

This figure seems outrageous but if true I'm very happy for the girls. I however think focus should be on development and not gestures like these that ultimately adds nothing to our growth.

My brother I don't know what is outrageous about this. They deserve every penny. When Buhari was president and Solomon Dalung was Sports minister, recall the international embarrassment of the Super Falcons after winning the trophy; carrying placards in protest over unpaid allowances. This gesture is an inspiration to young girls who want to follow in their footsteps. This is commendable from this administration.

Quick question ;

Who’s d better goalkeeper Btw Dede precious and chiamaka Nnadozie ?

There is no basis for comparism.

Something seems to be wrong with this CAF president,

Not even his own country, but Morroco, and 3times in a role, what is he not saying, cos I know very well it's not Only Morroco that had the infrastructure to host the AWFCON

They are co-host of the 2030 World cup with 2 other European nations. It is to keep their facilities busy and also test run what it will be like to host big events. Recall they are to host the Afcon in December this year.

Abiodun should be careful in this match. I see what Madugu wants to do in terms of of her work rate. All fingers crossed it works out.

orriyomi33:
How do we overcome this, they used this in our last meeting and I wasn't sure if they were penalised for it.

Nigerian fans should also bring lasers when coming to the stadium. Morocco does not have monopoly over madness.

If Justin Madugu could pull a Clemens Westerhof move of 94 (Starting Amuneke who scored the 2 goals in the final against Zambia) by starting Chioma Okafor...the Moroccans won't see that coming.

QueenJazz:
I had an interesting thought this morning.

What if our Super Falcons trained occasionally with the men (Super Eagles) so that they can push their physicality, stamina, mental resilience and endurance even further than it is now? How feasible is this approach?

I want to hear the pundits' thoughts on this?

They can’t train or compete together due to speed, strength, and power, which are generally greater in men. The Switzerland female national team recently lost to Luzern U15 boys team 7-1 in a friendly. Mental resilience is a matter of mind set that can be built over time. Pushing female footballers physically will lead to a lot of Anterior Cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries. ( please refer to events just before the last World Cup).

QueenJazz:
Exactly my thoughts. I can't count the number of matches we've had over the years where it looks like a no-brainer for us to win only for us to come back home empty handed. In my experience, we usually perform our best when we're written off and given next to no chance. The way Nigerians are hyping the Super Falcons after that Zambia match. Hmmm. I just dey take eye dey look.

u don start again?

Wish Osimhen all the best oooo. Hopefully he will shine in the Champions League and show all the "Big" Clubs what they are missing out on.

elyte89:
When dis bameyi guy go commot for “20years” ,baba don be 20 since 2020 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Ohh really? My apologies. I've always thought that you are a lady. Always read your tweet with a lady's voice and face in mind.

QueenJazz:
I'm licking my wounds in joy.

😀😀

I no tell una!!!! All the fear fear people how far?

daveP:
This man like 2 upfront or what?

not a bad lineup. Madugu try.

Everybody dey predict lineup, this Madugu guy na funny character. Don't be surprised to see Abiodun and Oshoala starting.

joxxy01:
From the games, Zambia have always struggled defending set pieces. We should capitalize on that weakness too and train on scoring from set piece.

My biggest worry is Barbra Banda. We should dedicate 2 quick ladies to woman mark her. Kudananji is not a real threat but we still can't ignore her pace and finishing abilities.

Whatsoever will be in our midfield setup, Echinigini should be in the in the mix due to her creativity.

Though an unpopular opinion...I think Frannie should start from the wings. Her experience and trickery will be pivotal to unlocking the Zambian defense.

Zambia will be difficult, but may God give us the day.

Bro, na Zambia Una dey fear like this? Dedicate 2 players to who? All Zambia has is counter attack, all other departments from midfield, defence and goal keeping is Zero. We should win this easy. My only fear is the starting 11 Madugu will commence the match with.

Dem say Lookman don agree personal terms with Inter Milan.

QueenJazz:
Madugu might be in for a rude awakening this Friday. I just pity the fans.

Naaaa... Zambia main strength is counter attack, especially from the wings. Midfield is non-existent, defence in shambles, a goalkeeper my late Grandma can score against. We are good. We can win this not because of the coach, it will be inspite if the coach.

isan:
There won't be difference because of the playing style

It’s like you did not watch our last match against Tunisia. The 3 players I mentioned came in the second half and we controlled the midfield and created boatloads of chances.

HeavenlyHolines:
We need a lot of improvement. If you watch the European women football, you will think the men are the ones playing. Before appointing a coach, it's expedient to check his antecedents. I don't think this coach is an experienced one. I hope we get the best and achieve Falcon X

His highest appointment has been an assistant to Randy Waldrum

isan:
It's not even about the players on the bench, the unnecessary long balls is annoying

Bring in Ucheibe, Okoronkwo and Chiwendu and you will see the difference.

Justin mumugu no be am. You left your best players on the bench, now you are screaming on the touch line:.. at who I wonder.

solonnachi:
I just can't understand what is wrong with this Madugu man. His substitutes are far better than first team. Why leaving out Chioma Okafor? Even substitute bench she no dey? Na wa ooo.

Local coaches are always ruled by emotions and sentiments and never rationality. I don’t know about the Chioma Okafor situation, but, I will not be surprised if it is to make a point of her being imposed on him.

This is the reason why I do not rate our local coaches. Same line up that struggled in the first half.

Goke7:
You're the one who is so daft to conclude that Osihmen has bad behaviour that will make him unattractive to clubs, that's how super daft you are

😂😂😂 Abeg e don do bros. No need for insults.

charlesemeka85:
that’s true. United asked him to reduce his demands via wages but he refused

E for ask for easily achievable performance related bonuses wey for even top em expected wages by up to £1m.
