… Brave girl!… go Ashleigh!!!
USA?
Great! And some people on this forum would always say players like these don’t want to play for us because of the situation of the country. About 5 new oyibo players. And several oyibo players with Dtigers. We have a handful with super eagles. Let’s stop over stressing our problems in this country. We will survive our challenges weldone oyibo lady…you are a true duaghter of naija
Nice one brother thanks alot for this
Thank you my brother, dont mind those inferiority idiotical elementrical products of doom. The way the people are complaining and running to other soceity, you will wonder why are europeans still in lagos and why are chinese trooping into africa on daily bases. some of us abadoned our fathers inherited lands and go and be begging in the street of italy, some of us own morethan our boss in europe, we have the opportunity to raise chiken and drive buses of our own we refused and we are happy and proud to work in a european poultry farm and drive their buses, some will run away from their farmlands in the villages run to the city to constitute nuisance and blame the governments for their own miseries, those black monkeys that run to represent their fathers yansh, we all saw the reward after england lost, saka was constantly reminded of our related he is to monkeys hahahahaha, the worst part of it is that some of these idiotz are urglier than ajegunle if you really want to compare their looks, imagine if egungun jam saka for night only God knows who go first take off, hahahakiki, laphing with renault engine. When osaze lost penalty to tunisia in 2004 afcon semifinal he was never abused racially.
Lol, who tell you say Ajegunle pipo no fine?
Guy which kain okpata you dey yarn for hia? Respect yourself ooo 🙂 🙂 🙂
Let us be honest. The nff president piknick has done very well for our football. I can’t remember any time previous years, such competition as this was organized for our ladies.. When he leaves we will understand that a Jonathan was better than a bubu despite the fact the formal was not appreciated
Not nff president, commend Sunday Dare for all these. Just look at how competitive Dtigres, D tigers, super falcon and super eagles are for now?. This is level we all wanted.
How?
Complete Sports, why are u guys so lazy? Where is the photo of her training?
Is it because the girl is a fine oyibo that she is generating all these interest? Like say she worwor and black like charcoal, nobody for look her side. Nobody for send.
Chai, Nigerians, una no go ever change! Loool!
The girl is welcome to camp. It is refreshing to see how excited she is to be there, unlike some “English” pipo wey black pass charcoal, wey dey form wetin dem no be. However, make she know say she no go get special treatment because of how she looks ooo. Na her ability go determine how far. But again, for her to have won the Leicester player of the year award, she must be talented. Hope that talent helps the team to become even stronger.
Niboni motinjasi bayi o Nigerians lolz.
This Pompei love fine babe no be small o lol.
Well, Am happy for her. The gaffer is capable to build this our Super Falcons.
He have the players to achieve that. Super Falcons should be ready to take the world by storm at the next Afcon and world cup.
The coach already has a structure to build his team on. How I wish these ladies were available during the USA invitational games.
We still have Chendu, Alimotu Ayinde, Easter Sunday and so many experienced players that have to be in this current Super Falcons.
Since they have turning Super Eagles to a business center I think it is the time to give my full support to ourSuper Falcons.
When NFF are ready to be serious with our Super Eagles then, I will come back to them but for now, Super Eagles and the people in charge are not ready yet.
But I won’t allow them to destroy the only thing that putting smile on our faces.
Super Falcons, go and do what Super Eagle failed to do. We are solidly behind you ladies.
Welcome Ashleigh Plumptre. We appreciate you lady. God bless Nigeria!!!
Loool, Omo9ja. How I for do na? If something is fine, I suppose to like am na, abi? It’s normal.
We get some players wey no too fine, but wey sabi play well well. Yet, I don’t see forumites showing interest in those girls. Na fine babe forumites dey do OOOH LA LA for! Diaris God ooooo!
This star player really loves Nigeria. Choosing Nigeria at the expense of England says a lot about her passion for the country.
