Barca vs Granada (6-1)

Oshoala with a brace and Edna Imade with a very good game, troubling the Barca defense with her pace.

Great to see the two Nigerians, Oshoala and Edna Imade talking at the end of the game.

Edna has a great height and Physiques too couple with her pace.. I hope to see her in the SuperFalcons soon as she’s very much Capable of playing any position upfront but for her pace the flank suits her better..

Future for the SF is really exciting.

Had to opportunity to watch the Florida St. vs Pitt game live on TV.
Echegini and Abiodun went at it in the midfield, and both had very good games (Echegini scored the 3rd goal for Florida St.).
The commentators were just singing the praises of Abiodun, commending her for her intelligent play on and off the ball.

Nigeria is very lucky to have had a coach who discovered these two young ladies and gave them a chance at becoming great players, both of whom are really good box to box midfielders. Very proud of both ladies performances!

Nigeria has the personnel and capability to become a top 20 team in the world, without a doubt. Offence, midfield and defense. My only concern is in the goal keeping department, where we don't have any credible #2 and #3 goalkeepers. Otherwise, we can compete with the best in the world.

Why is Yewande not tried?

GeneralDae:

Why is Yewande not tried?

Yewande Balogun is already 34..

I ThinK the Point here is having a Young Goalie that is capable enough to back up Nnadozie, Incase she won't be available for any reason the other one can be reliable, Just like Tochukwu Oluehi who's a reliable Back up but she's past 36years already..

Balogun (33+). has been tried and gave a decent performance (clean sheet vs. Costa Rica in a pre-WWC friendly), but is currently playing as a backup at St. Etienne (Arkema D1).
The other one (Oluehi, 36+) seems past her prime and ready for retirement (Saudi League).
There is no one else that's up and coming and credible.

🟢🔵Colombia 2024: Danjuma invites Omilana, Kalu, Adoo, 27 others for Tanzania

Head Coach, Christopher Musa Danjuma has called up goalkeepers Faith Omilana and Linda Jiwuaku, defenders Jumoke Alani and Tumininu Adeshina, midfielders Taiwo Afolabi, Chinyere Kalu and Chidera Okenwa, and forwards Chiamaka Okwuchukwu, Yina Adoo and Opeyemi Ajakaye among a roster of 30 Falconets for next month’s 2024 FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup qualifying fixture against the U20 girls of Tanzania.

Following the withdrawal of Mauritius from the second-round attrition with Nigeria, the 2022 World Cup quarter-finalists drew a bye to the third round, where Tanzania await, with the first leg away in Dar es Salaam on a date within 10th – 12th November and the return leg in Abuja on a date within 17th – 19th November.

Danjuma has picked a few of his World Cup quarter-finalists from Costa Rica last year, and an impressive number from the Flamingos squad that won the bronze medals at the FIFA U17 Women’s World Cup in India a year ago.

The invited players have been told to report at the Chida Hotel in Utako, Abuja on Sunday, 22nd October.



World football-governing body, FIFA has increased the number of finalists for next year’s FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup final tournament in Colombia to 24, from the 16 that participated in Costa Rica, and also increased the number of Africa’s flag bearers to four.

This means that after the Tanzania fixture, the Falconets will have one round to go before qualification for the big houseparty in Colombia in September 2024.

We need young goalkeeper

We need young goalkeeper

Onyinye Okeke have lost it, She came in before Nnadozie and was tagged the replacement for Precious Dede after excellent performance from the U17 & U20 level..

There was a time it was a Competition between her and Nnadozie from Friendly Game against France during WAFU and All AFRICAN GAMES tournament but she ended up becoming a Back Up. She's still Young though and can return when the time comes..


As for Linda Jiwuaku and Faith Omilana it's would be a great opportunity for any of them to use this U20 Level to prove a point that they're the next to Nnadozie cause Mgechi Anderline haven't impressed me at all both Club and U20... If she improve fine..



There's also Rita Akarekor based in Morocco

People said they didn't like each other, but...

Some members of the 2010 under 20 set like Ngozi Ebere were angry with Oshoala at last world cup. Sometimes I feel Oparanozie is very humble and may avoid such confrontations.

I recall when Rivers Angels clique and others feuded though.

Asisat Oshoala isn’t a member of the 2010 U20 set and Ngozi Ebere retired from Football few years ago? So which of the 2010 set are you talking about cause is only Osinachi Ohale, Desire Oparanozie from the 2010 U20 set that where part of the last World Cup..!

players on on the 22-player roster, who are rumoured to likely miss the first leg include Gift Monday, Halimatu Ayinde, Regina Otu and Christy Uchiebe.

Sources informed Nigeriafootball.ng that the unexpected withdrawals were due to varying reasons, including visa hitches and health-related matters.

I am disappointed in NFF about this young bright talent and I hate the fact that the current coach doesn't use her. Most foreign coaches always want finished products and now giving home based players opportunity.

Won't be surprised if we lose the first leg to Ethiopia cause it appears we are taking this game lightly. The last time the girls played together was at the world cup. Ethiopia won their round one game 10-0 aggregate and have been in camp since.

The game is scheduled to take place in 3 days and camp is yet to open. Assuming they all start traveling today it means they'll have maximum one day to prepare for the game. Now we are having last minute withdrawals. I know it's Ethiopia, but again it's women's football and we've seen too many surprises lately to take any game lightly.

Esther Okoronkwo scored in Granadilla Terenife's 2-3 loss to Madrid CFF. Rinsola Babajide started the game while Esther and Gift Monday both came in as subs.

It's hardly nobody fault most of the girls have a game on Saturday and sunday

I know. I was particular about scheduling. Most of the other qualifying game holds 26th and 27th. We should have probably pushed for that.

Paris FC is something else right now. Currently leading 5-0 and the second half just started.

The stupidity of NFF Sec. Gen. (Mohammed Sanusi) and his team come to fore.
A bunch of morons who lack critical thinking and have no love for the country.
They believe by shortening the days the girls are in camp, the less money they are obligated to pay them and the more money they will have for themselves to embezzle.
Those guys are THE problem with Nigerian football!!!
