Esther Toko is already out of the main competition, she is only competing now for the ranking, I just hopes it comes out good

Pardon the error. You are correct. She'll be competing for future qualification at major Championships.

Reminds of a match between the SF and Germany in the quarter finals of the olympics in Athens 2004. Our keeper then Precious Dede leapt up to catch a floated cross from the German winger. The German forward practically flattened our goalkeeper to head the ball in but the ref looked away. Our Nigerian supporters pa ra sotey dem nearly cause riot. Game was held up for some minutes after that awful call. Honestly if the match had been played in Nigeria the ref will count herself lucky if she didn't chop beating from irate fans.


Same way they stole the U20 world cup from Oshoala and co over nothing. Look at how this disgusting woman handled U17s Cameroon vs USA. I strongly believe there is a conscious effort to maintain the status quo of women's football.

France vs SF retaken penalty vs Nnadozie
This Zambia vs Brazil red card


I ranted on twitter that night for that retaken penalty, but Fifa Women just use style bend me and no one saw the comments of most Africans complaining that night. Lol. Sad!!

We all complained but the real question is what did the NFF do? Pinnick needs to hire people who monitor these games and at least put out press releases when things go wrong.

Have a point there. I guess he's taken the Naija-styled Politics engagement to this post where to criticize na mt Everest.


Saw the argument tryna to exonerate him, but this man has loads of cash at his disposal than most, if not all his predecessors. That asides, we need a voice. The butter-esque diplomacy no make sense again.

Nigeria CB Leon Balogun has raised some critical issues about the administration of football in Nigeria, including the condition with the Super Eagles squad, criticizing the lack of professionalism.


Balogun spoke on the Nigeria Football Federation circus about the backlog of bonuses owed the Super Eagles stretching back 2019.



The 33 year-old revealed he had “taking the fall” for standing up for his teammates against the administrators and has been dubbed a “trouble maker”.



Speaking on “The Beautiful Game Podcast”, the 2019 AFCON bronze medal winner anticipates his vocal criticism could land him hot water with an intolerant Nigeria FA.





Excerpts of Balogun’s interview with “The Beautiful Game” Podcast:

You hear about other players and why can’t they not perform in the Super Eagles. We have to be honest, the infrastructure, we are not being provided with the best minerals to do our job.

It starts with pitches or it starts with accommodation but it goes on to pitches and all these kinds of things. And as I said I’m always quite outspoken, probably I know if some people hear that they might come after me but I don’t care because that’s just how it is.



If you say you want to see the next Messi coming out of Nigeria or the next Cristiano Ronaldo or whatsoever, if you want to see us so then you need to make sure that back home in Nigeria we have the best possibilities.

Like why don’t we have a base in Nigeria where we meet up like St. George’s park in England, we don’t really have something like that.

About the bonuses, it’s not even a secret, I’ve read something recently where people in charge contradict themselves saying things have been paid then they admit they haven’t been paid.

You know what everybody is so concerned about the look of Nigeria and we that we have to represent Nigeria well and we cannot embarrass Nigeria; make sure you’re not embarrassing Nigeria with your own action.



I think it’s also a matter of the culture, it’s a cultural thing to show respect in this kind of things, also that’s something where I clash probably because I’m not afraid to speak my mind even if it’s with the Coach or the Manager if I feel like something is wrong I might at one point just talk about it and then it’s always like this boy is a trouble maker.

I’m not a trouble maker, because at the end of the day I stand in for my teammates, I do that with pleasure and if I have to take the fall well, I probably did in the past.



But, it’s always also motivated by personal issues, by things that I just feel like, I don’t have to deal with this, I should not have to deal with this and I don’t think any of us should, there’s loads of work to do.

Damn, we need to get into the paint more. Too many attempts at 3. We can't let the Germans run away with this in the first quarter.

Nice hustle in the end. We Trail by 3. Our game against Argentina started in a very similar way. If we take advantage and steal the 2nd quarter, we will be on our way to victory.

This is a great concept.
labas370:
that is true. She tried today.

They should have won the chinese team. They were better than them but lack of experience is affecting them. Let them keep on trying, they will soon become a powerhouse from that part of Africa.

This new CAF qualification stuff has it advantages and Disad. too.
I like it as it gives countries from that side opportunity to qualify for major tournaments but i think the West african FAs should have proposed for the WAFU qualification to be more like a league since the major CAF female powerhouse teams are from there.
First 3 teams from WAFU, Southern and central african countries qualifies for the last qualificationround while north & east africa shares the remaining 3 slots making a total of 12 teams.
Regroup them into 2 groups and the first 3 teams with the highest point qualifies.

I'm in support of the opinion that qualifications for international tournaments based solely on AWCON should be scrabbled.

I completely agree with your formal statement that the Super Falcons will find this team hard to beat.
