No news yet about our olympic preparations.
Some of our group opponents have already released their olympic squads.
But the consolation is that should the team fail, the coach of the team is not the type that will throw his players under the bus.
He would rather fight headlong with his employers and risk losing his job.
Congratulations, Rasheedat! You’ve always been a solid player anytime.
It’s a pity that our clueless NFF have totally failed to harness your talent and those of other great Super Falcons players to enable you achieve the successes that you deserve in National colours. Almost all first team and even some second eleven Super Falcons players are the main stay of their clubs in Europe and North America, yet National teams with players of lesser pedigree are better ranked and have won more international accolades than Super Falcons due to the selfishness and corruption within the Nigerian sports administration system, with NFF the worst of the lot.
Any wonder that dual nationality players commit to Nigeria only when they believe they have no chance at all with the other countries that they’re eligible for.
Its such a great pain seeing players like this end up achieving only a fraction of their potentials due to a system run by people who do not know that the personal interest they seek, can even be better enhanced when they develop the game to achieve its full potential in the country.
The Olympics offer a great opportunity for these young ladies and Nigerian football in general, but as usual NFF is primed to mess it up with poor preparations.
