U do know Uzoho will take back his place right? I'm just saying this so u don't go crazy when u do.

BTW is this your youtube moniker also?

absolutely not bro

BankyGee:


If Uzoho will come back, I want him to come back as a fan of the Super Eagles 🦅 not goalkeeper 🤣



Yes boss ✊🏾! Been a huge fan since 2021...

Once I saw ur post I ran to YouTube studio to see it was the same name I am definitely a fan of ur comments. U have filled in the blanks more than once when I leave stuff out of my videos. Especially when it comes to the women's team's. So it is definitely nice meeting you.

I can tell you want Uzoho gone but dont bank on it sha. Adebayo did a good job but Uzoho has not done anything to lose his spot for under Peseiro. If u watch Jose's interviews he is ready to argue every point with reporters so I don't expect any pressure to affect his decision. I do feel Adebayo has cemented himself as the number 2 and that is also a big deal.

Deltamani:
After Ngozi Okobi omission from the SuperFalcons List for the World Cup, the one that I felt too was Nicole Payne… I swill gladly pick her ahead of Glory Ogbonna anyday anytime.

Anyway she’s very Young. Let’s see what she offers going Pro!

Our own version of Lucy Bronze, I followed up with Nicole games since she became a regular with the SuperFalcons, She have an excellent skill as a full-back, with stamina and speed down the wing (Arguably the Quickest Full Back we have), and the ability to play crosses into the box as well as make overlapping runs with her forward winger. Her tackles are usually perfectly-timed and she has an exceptionally high rate of winning 1v1duels. She has good numbers of interceptions and recoveries too

absolutely not bro

Like I just said there is no reason why Uzoho doesn't come back. He only missed because of suspension. Adebayo has proven he can do the job if called upon but that's about it.

Abeggiiii… She nor sabi jor!

Make she go bench Rofiat Imuran first, they’re both the natural Left Back in the team😂😂😂

Rofiat of which day here have shown that she’s more than capable….

I think we got some of the hints before now but the stories weren’t straightforward

Deltamani:

The story no balance

So if Ordega wasn't a part of Randy's list, it means at the very least Ordega was forced on Randy right? It means NFF had sway in some respect.

If the above is the case, which other player did NFF insist must be a part of the squad? Ogbonna?

Deltamani:
I think we got some of the hints before now but the stories weren’t straightforward

Why there is not much uproar is because she may likely not play any part. Also, there is really not a significant exclusion in her Dept.

Randy Fancy the likes of Esther Okoronkwo, Rasheedat Ajibade upfront than any of the other Ladies that plays from the Flank…

Ordega starting any game at the World Cup is what am not sure of at all.. Maybe she might have the opportunity of coming off the bench..

Randy can as well chose to play Onumonu from the Flank instead of Kanu.

Danielnino00:


I'm not seeing that girl Massoudy on the list... Is she injured ni?

Injured í believe

OFFICIAL | Levante UD Women and Aminata Diallo end their contractual relationship. Best of luck!

That assualt allegation against her with Hamraoui seems to have affected her career😢

FIFAWWC2023 > Ngozi Okobi pays price for not reading the room

2023/06/20 at 4:48PM
Fisayo Dairo
Published June 20, 2023

After her surprise omission from the Super Falcons squad heading to Australia and New Zealand for the World Cup next month, our Chief Football Writer Fisayo Dairo posits that Ngozi Okobi simply pays the price for not reading the room soon enough.

The most significant weakness of a successful army veteran is usually that of not knowing when to call it quits. This has also been the misery that befalls successful sportsmen and women in the twilight of their careers.

While that is a general observation, it can also be inferred in the much trended topic of Ngozi Sonia Okobi’s exclusion from the Super Falcons squad hoping (against hope) to make Nigeria proud at the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand next month.

Although a number of names were missing, – who I particularly was looking forward to seeing – that of Okobi was more conspicuous, and rightly so, because she ranks as one of the longest serving players in the team with great memories but whose impact has cautiously eroded over the years.

But of course, like a gallant soldier, conqueror of many battles who should be leaving the scene for the younger generation when the ovation was loudest but persisted to fight to his own ignominy, Okobi has paid the price for not reading a room she has inhabited for over a decade.

This affable young woman burst into the scene as a teenager and her talent was evident for all to see. She attended her first major tournament with the Super Falcons at 16, the 2010 African Women’s Championship (as WAFCON was known then) in South Africa, just over a month after blazing at the FIFA Under 17 Girls World Cup.

From then, Ngozi Okobi never looked back and although she did not make the Falcons team to the Senior Women’s World Cup in 2011, she became a regular fixture in the team, attending every WAFCON tournament from 2010 till date as well as the 2015 and 2019 World Cup tournaments.

During that period, Okobi grew to become the team’s most creative outlet and reminded many early followers of exceptional creators like Nkiru Okosieme and Rita Nwadike but like those before her, Okobi will not play for the Falcons forever. Even if there remains the occasional flashes of brilliance in a gem, the stage still has to be vacated.


As a strong critic of Randy Waldrum and all he has done as the Super Falcons coach, one apparent criticism I made of his team at the last WAFCON in Morocco was his failure to adequately refresh his side with young blood. Between now and then however, Waldrum has done this remarkably and that is why eight of those players that were in Morocco will not be in Australia while six new faces have been added.


Of those six new players, three were at last year’s Under 20 Women’s World Cup while two others; Jennifer Onyi Echegini and Ijeoma Esther Okoronkwo are now the team’s main creative outlets, the latter only missing the WAFCON due to injury.

Why then doth the heathen rage? It is safe to aver that Okobi has passed her prime if you really knew who she was between 2014 and 2018; and the team has moved past her but she simply failed to read the room as this has been tacitly made obvious to her.


In 2023, the Super Falcons have played five matches during which they ended an obnoxious run of seven straight defeats and followed it with a current run of three straight wins, two of them against teams heading to the World Cup this summer.

In those five games played in 2023, Okobi mustered just twenty-eight minutes and was an unused substitute in at least two of the matches. I do not know if there is a better message for her to realise that the team was already moving past her.


Typical of Nigerian national teams though, players often feel their places are there for keeps and continue to turn up even when contempt is in the air. So, for those who do not have huge backing of some football bigwigs in the Federation, failure to read the room and leave when the ovation was still considerably loud will make their forceful ejection as excruciating as it has been in Okobi’s case.

And for fans emotionally attached to the player – which is not a bad thing after at least a decade of success with the team – now praying the team fail in Australia in order to run with the narrative, please come off it, Nigeria will not get to the 2023 semi-final with or without Okobi.


If we are being serious, players like Onome Ebi, Osinachi Ohale, Francisca Ordega, Desire Oparanozie et al should be preparing for their Testimonial matches and leave the scene for younger players the way those before them left. These players including Ngo became key parts of the team when they were ‘teenagers’, to good effect so why would they not leave for other ‘teenagers’?

It is noteworthy that the advent of age group competitions has taken a negative toll on the women’s game in Sub-Saharan Africa. ‘Young’ players now play at the U17 World Cup twice like Okobi did, follow it up with the U20 World Cup twice like Asisat Oshoala, how then can they be as effective in their latter years as a Perpetua Nkwocha who scored eleven goals at the 2010 AWCON at the age of 34?

As a matter of fact, I do not think there will ever be another outfield player after Ebi (40) and Nkwocha (39 in 2015) that will get to play for Nigeria at the Women’s World Cup in their late 30s. That era is gone. The sell-off age is now 30 and/or early 30s for obvious reasons.

I am of the belief that the omission of younger players like Peace Efih, Regina Otu and Anam Imo will even bite the team harder in Melbourne and Brisbane than that of the subject of this article but indeed, the coach cannot pick more than twenty-three players.

While another hitherto key member of the team Rita Chikwelu retired from the national team after the WAFCON in Morocco, Ngozi Okobi-Okeoghene who undoubtedly made her mark as a special player for the Super Falcons ultimately pays the price for not reading the room and act accordingly.

FC Levante Las Planas says goodbye to Rita Chikwelu and four others..

Interesting article. Read it right before you posted it here.

The highlighted part are the most interesting for me.

Wow 😲 I'm honored sir 😌! Your videos actually made me become interested in female football generally. Your first video I watched was the friendly between Super Falcons (3) vs (3) Portugal Women and immediately after that I went to read a lot about Women's football and watched lots of videos to catch up. I was interested to the extent I became the one that edited and updated almost all the Under 17 female teams matches on Wikipedia throughout the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup tournament 😁! So you understand when I say I'm a big fan 🤣! I love the accent, the jokes, POWs and punchlines and most especially, the AAALLLLLRIGHT! Nice meeting you too sir 😌.

I can tell you want Uzoho gone but dont bank on it sha. Adebayo did a good job but Uzoho has not done anything to lose his spot for under Peseiro. If u watch Jose's interviews he is ready to argue every point with reporters so I don't expect any pressure to affect his decision. I do feel Adebayo has cemented himself as the number 2 and that is also a big deal.

I feel after watching Adebayo play, he'd up his game to keep the spot, so it's kinda like a win-win situation 🤷🏾‍♂️😁

But schemerick and deltamani made us believed NFF doesn't want ordega in the world cup list unless she did the needful and apologize to NFF big shot she offended this another report claiming NFF forced ordega on waldrum

lovewins:

So if Ordega wasn't a part of Randy's list, it means at the very least Ordega was forced on Randy right? It means NFF had sway in some respect.

If the above is the case, which other player did NFF insist must be a part of the squad? Ogbonna?

It's why I said the story no balance. I'm skeptical about Osasu's submission sha cause he's clearly biased against Randy to a fault. You can't claim the list is Randy's 100% in one wise then also claim Ordega wasn't initially on his list.

enomakos:
respect the coach choice na

I guess you will sing a different tune when the Falcons are knocked out at the group stage. We have seen coach's choice over and over in Nigeria. The Falcon's backfield barely survived the Haitian squad.

Wow you my mind is blown. I saw u say u worked on the U17 wiki page but I didn't know I was part of the journey. That just made my day forreal. That Portugal match was one of the best matches to call. I can definitely see why that grabbed ur attention as it was such a good match. It had almost every emotion available so I wouldn't say I added so much to it.

As for Adebayo, I just feel the coach will go back to the basics. Uzoho has been his guy and I don't think he will do anything to make him think otherwise. Baring injury Uzoho will be in goal against Sao Tome

WHERE DID CHIDINMA OKEKE GET IT WRONG


Chidinma Nkeruka Okeke (22yrs) Hapoel Beer Sheva FC, ISRAEL 🇮🇱

Okeke is a physically strong defender known for her speed, technique and offensive capabilities. She can play as a full-back or Center Back although she usually plays on the right. She has good dribbling skill and is noted for her involvement in counter-attacks by making crosses or long passes, a defender that showed her defensive ability and attacking flair by producing a genius performance when she replaced Faith Michael for Nigeria against Norway in their first game of the FIFA Women's World Cup. Her physique enables her to perform well in aerial duels and 1v1 situations.

I’m not a fan of her goalkeeping, Even after her performance at the U20 World Cup last year she seems not to have improved.. All this Goalies really need to step up cause I don’t want Nnadozie to feel to relax as no Younger Goalkeeper can stand her right now..

How the mighty Onyinyechi Okeke from first choice to 2nd choice when Cameroon goalkeeper Bawuo came in, Bawuo left for Kazakhstan Okeke seems to have gone down the radar as Monle omini takes over as 1st choice at Bayelsa Queens..
