Our midfield was over-ran by south africa. .. What the actual Bleep is the coach doing? Ordega entered and started playing the mid-field and things started opening up. The strikers were starved of ball. This coach is mad. They should sack him....

AkinDS:
Dumb ass midfield set up by Randy cost us this game.
Hopefully, this should be the END of Chikwelu starting for the SE.
Need to play younger and more energetic players in the midfield.

Truth is, we sucked big time in this opener.

daveP:
was supposed to be 5

Nothing would have happened even if they added ten (10) additional minutes.

We had all the time and chances to snatch the winner but we didn't. Counting on the closing minutes is worrisome.

68% pass accuracy and the lack of basic football skills leave you wondering what they've been doing in training.

Anyways, we move.

joelsteron:
Flamingo will beat this team or atleast get a draw.

Danielnino00:


Osohola's dip in form in the national team also started since the appointment of these Western coaches...
Coincidence? I think not...

COOL10:


I'm guessing her coaches at Barcelona where she performs excellently well are Africans right? SMH

Attack the coach, not the race.

do4luv14:
So me and my bae Dodge bullet today6, Mostob you see am

mostob:
Nwanyi oma....obim...omalicha.
This girl doesn't deserve to be on the losing side today. They should help us give her proper massage abeg...the girl too much

arsenal96:
I cannot even remember when last Oshoala perform in Nigeria colour, she has been plain poor. And I don't know what the coach has been doing with the team for more than a year now. The same team u played friendly against not too long, they dominated you in that match, today they still did the same, even with a full squad Nigeria paraded.I think we should go back to our local coaches. They did well handling this team, then we have pattern and proper build up.

Samueltemi337:
Oshoala should stop playing for us abeg


see as she was just strolling in the pitch

TheSuperNerd:


Totally missed the interception for their second goal. Refiloe Jane is not a born again. She absolutely buried Alozie with that sweet through ball. No way was she getting it mehn.

But aside all that... Alozie had a good game. Plumptre too although Noxolo Cesane owned her for the first goal.

As least, my fav player, SA'an Linda Motlhalo won today. What a Baller she is.


This Man below needs to get sober and fast.

Danielnino00:


Her coaches at Barcelona are definitely not as clueless as those bunches we have here...

arsenal96:
And people suggesting Ebi should retire, if not for her today, we will concede nothing less than 4 goals. She was our best defender by mile, even had assist for Ajibade's goal. Alozie and Plumpetre did very well too. Ohale disappointed today, as I rated her than what she showed today. Bad midfield didn't allow us to see what T.Payne and Anumonu are capable of doing in attack. If this coach qualify us to world cup and don't improve the team, we will be disgraced.

hatakekakashi:
I talked about the overconfidence and overhype before. Everybody boasting like Nigeria is prime USA.

AkinDS:
Yes, they did well losing to Ivory Coast which cost us the Olympics, right.
Puhlease!

mostob:
There was nothing she could do with that through ball...she did what she had to do. The girl really played well today...beauty with brain.

Wafcon 2022: 7 Pre-Tournament Questions to keep watch on

1. Will Asisat Oshoala catch up with Mercy Akide in the Wafcon All time top scorers list?
Oshoala has 13 since her Wafcon debut in 2014 while The Great Mercy has 18 across 3 tournaments since 1998.
And Don't ask me about Perpetua... for now that record is untouchable. Perhaps in the next 2 editions.

2. Will Thembi Kgatlana overtake Veronica Phewa as South Africa's all time top scorer in Wafcon history since 1998?
Kgatlana has 5 Wafcon goals all scored at the 2018 edition since she made the SA Wafcon squad in 2014.
The legendary Phewa has 10 goals across 5 Wafcon tournaments. This will be Kgatlana's 4th Wafcon tournament.


3. How quickly will Kgatlana displace Amanda Dlamini as SA's 2nd all time top scorer at the Wafcon?
Dlamini has 6 wafcon goals. Kgatlana has 5. Surely the Super Falcons won't want Thembi displacing Dlamini against them on July 4. So Ebi and Co better keep keen eyes on her.


4. Will Jermaine Seoposenwe of Banyana Banyana score for the 3rd consecutive tournament in a row?

Apart from a host of Super Falcons stars who dominate the list led by the Super Legendary GOATs of African Women Football, Nkwocha and Akide, the likes of Adjoa Bayor (2000-2004), Veronica Phewa(2000-2008), Gabrielle Onguene (2008-2012), Chinasa Okoro (2006-2012) and ofcourse, Awcon/Wafcon legend, Genoveva Añonma (2006-2012) make up a Special list of stars who have scored in 3 or more consecutive Wafcon tournaments they have appeared in.


Jermaine scored at the 2016 edition and at the 2018 edition. Missed the 2014 edition.
Her debut tournament was the 2010 edition. The Edition hosted in SA which Nkwocha Undisputedly OWNED from beginning to end.

She looks primed to score again at this one but hopefully not in the first game against our girls. Ebi, Plumptre and co. You have been alerted.


5. Will Gabrielle Onguene finally leave Legendary Camerounian Defender, Christine Manie behind and move clear into top spot as Cameroun's All time top scorer at the Wafcon?

Both ladies sit on 6 goals each. Manie is 38 now and not gonna be at this tournament. Onguene is 33 and is Cameroun's Captain for Maroc 2022 Wafcon. Inevitable right? Time will tell.


6. Who would hit the first hattrick of Wafcon 2022?

The last edition saw only one hattrick and it was bagged by Nigerian Superstar, Asisat Oshoala vs Equatorial Guinea in the group stage.

South Africa since 2002 have produced 4 different Hatrrick scorers (Phewa, Mgcoyi, Matlou, Dlamini).

Nigeria boasts the highest ofcos with 4 hattricks and 2 Super hattricks since 2006 (exempting 1998 until records are properly sorted).



Note: Super Hattrick - 4 goals+

There have been only 2 women to have scored 4 times in a Wafcon game as far as "accessible records so far" go.
*Akide is said to have bagged 8 goals in 1998 out of the Super Falcons' 28 at the tournament but Records seen so far before this stats compilation haven't been able to break down how many she scored each game. She didn't score in the final vs Ghana though.


So in this light, the 2 women are:

i. Perpetua Nkwocha vs Cameroun in 2004 CAF Women's Nations Cup Final.

ii. Asisat Oshoala vs Mali in 2016 CAF Women's Nations Cup Group stage.




7. Will Nigeria's Super Falcons become the First Women's International side to "OFFICIALLY" win 10 continental titles in Women's Football History?


Yes, some records do put it at 11 titles for Nigeria counting from 1991 but for the sake of the "Officially Official" Records since 1998 under the standard group stage to KOs format, Nigeria is heading for La decima and would actually become Women's Football's FIRST Double digits Continental Champs if they lift the title come 23rd July


In Europe, Germany has the most titles with 8. The 2022 Women's Euros will hold from 6-31 July. Germany winning it will only make it 9.

In Asia, China's steel roses bagged their 9th continental title at the AFC Women's Nations Cup held earlier this year between 20 Jan and 6 Feb.

In South America, Brazil has 7 titles. The next Copa America Femenina holds between 8-30 July.

In North America, World Champs and World Number 1, USA has 8 titles. They are gunning for only their 9th between 4-18 July, next month this summer.

In Oceania, the OFC Women's Nations Cup will take place from 13 - 30 July. The most successful team there is New Zealand with 6 titles. They are gunning for a possible 7th.


So this leaves Nigeria's Super Falcons as the only team with a chance to Officially hit La Decima this year and become Women's football First ever 10-times Continental Champs.


Schemerkhiz, communicate this to them oooo.... Let them know they are about to make history internationally in the Women's game.

TheSuperNerd:
Yeah. Which was to stretch and just look beautiful on the grass.

Truth is she got her positioning all wrong in the buildup to that goal. She didn't underlap enough. That was her wing.

Pidginwhisper:
When we talk am, one match commentator go come dey mention her achievements at the national level. There are more hungrier players yarning to play, sit her ass out.

AkinDS:
She had two players in her zone with no cover - the one coming at her who laid the pass, and the one who scored. So, in your humble opinion, who should she have marked?

If you ever played as a defender, you would know that she made the right or plausible choice and that is to block the passing lane.
Unfortunately for her, that was a brilliant defense splitting pass.
Absolutely no fault on her part.
