How on earth is she on the team?
2018 was 4 yrs ago.
Just because of the optics alone, she should have been excused. Besides, she is not exactly a precocious talent, is she?

FIFA has the records na. It's not like she changed her age after that tournament.

She’s 20yrs already, was one of the youngest player in that edition then…. She plays mostly as a Holding Midfielder or a Center Midfielder.


It’s game day already, let’s wait and see.

She alongside Christy Ucheibe and Peace Efih were our 3 Midfielders back at the 2018 edition.

Why isn't Vicky Lopez playing for Spain Spain is dumpster juice BTW

Vicky Completed 16 about a Week ago, it’s better she start from the U17 level… No need for the too much rush.

Deltamani:


The quality of play wasn’t up to what i expected, the Superfalcons have a chance, We have got Pace, Power, individual brilliance, Athleticism as a whole, I just hope the Coaches play their own part well..

Even Brazil and Spain that I'm watching are not that good.

Deltamani:

That doesn't matter, she plays with adults in the league so the U20s should not be an issue. Having her play U17 is boarder line criminal.

Abeg make we allow the small gal enjoy the U17 stage too, it’s a big plus for her and Spain …

By the way she wanted to play for Nigeria right from the U17 level but we didn’t go for her then. Just hope she still have Nigeria in mind at the Senior level..

Since she wants to honour her late Mother by Playing for Nigeria I’m very sure we would have her at the Senior Level…

Its no big deal jare... In fact, a lot of players have played u-17 twice and again played u-20 twice for Nigeria before... Players like Okobi, Ordega, Oparanozie, Ayinde...

Oshoala and Ajibade also played u20 twice

where can we watch I live sir

Is it plausible the 'change' was done before the tourney? Just asking...
Just like how a certain #9 had supposedly completed Poly in Ogun state before playing U17. Now supposedly in her 'late 20s', she has definitely lost steam. I digress...

Lets be frank with ourselves. In this case, having someone playing U whatever multiple times really doesn't benefit the country. Why? This is not like years ago when we didn't have that many up and coming players to select from. Now, there are a ton. If someone played alongside the likes of Ucheibe and Efih (who have since progressed to the SuperFalcons, yet she hasn't).

The key question to ask is: shouldn't someone else be looked at in her stead?

BascoVanVeli:



FIFA has the records na. It's not like she changed her age after that tournament.

Things just got worse for Ghana...
Owusu got red carded for an above the ankle tackle in the 33rd min.

How can our coached get African players to stop these kind of tackles, since it leads to red cards?
Nigeria alone has had 3 consequential red cards this year alone (Iwobi, Ayinde and Ajibade) because of this rule.

Due to our 'hard' approach to the game, African teams (especially West African teams) are more than likely to suffer because of this rule.

You do have a point... This same thing cost Senegal a spot in the round of 16 at the last world cup due to fair play rule... West and Central African teams are generally known for being physical

Gra-gra football does not get you anywhere in this day and age.
We need to start teaching youngsters a different way of playing the game.

The best Nigerian team I have seen in several decades was the U17 winning team that had the likes of Sucess, Iheanacho and Awoniyi. The football those kids played at the time was 'dont touch me' ball - tip tap, sweet football.

That is how we should be teaching our youngsters (male and female) how to play
