Still no Desire Oparanozie, apparently she is still in the bad books of some nff officials for speaking out on behalf of her teammates. Prejudice.
The Nigerian Govt and its associated institutions reward the laid-back, the timid, the cowardly and in most cases the incompetent. That’s why the worst of us rise to leadership, while the best of us are marginalized.
It is a reward system that is geared towards mediocrity and failure. That’s why the country is where it is today.
God help us.
I am very impressed with the new coach of the Super Falcons, Mr. Waldrum for doing a great job.
I can’t hide it, I have to thank him for building a rock team for Nigeria in less than six months.
He wasted no time at all, he is very determined to rebuild Super Falcons.
He invited almost new players for this tournament in the USA and most of the regular players are not with the team.
If anyone is in doubt, go on Instagram and see how the gaffer is doing his things without giving excuses.
Falcons is playing today and let’s see what the new players can bring to the team.
Good luck to you ladies. God bless Nigeria!!!
As I said earlier, I am impressed with the new coach of the female national team of Nigeria.
My take on this match: no1. the boldness, tactics and confidence of the coach.
No2. He doesn’t rely on any player.
No3. He presented almost a new team in this tournament.
N04. He made his substitutions wisely and no late subs.
N05. Super Falcons didn’t train for a long time but they showed some flashes.
N06. The more they stay together, train together, the more the cohesion would be.
N07. The gaffer said he wanted to use this tournament to prepare his team ahead of the Ghana match.
Asisat Oshoala and other big players in the team not available due to Covid-19.
For that reason, I can’t wait to see the outcome of the Sunday match.
Don’t expect too much from this team yet because this is a new team entirely but the ladies will give their very best. That is for sure my people.
I am trying to know more about the gaffer. I want to see more of his quality, ability, tactics and vision then, I will know if he is the man for the job or not but for now, kudos to him. He has done well so far.
I know there’s still lots of things to be done in this our new team but as time goes on, Super Falcons will be Falcons again.
I hope Oga Rohr and his followers are watching ba?
This is how you build a team. This is the way ooo. We don’t need 2000 years to build a team because we are Nigerians which means, we have so many talented players to choose from both in Male and Female teams.
If coach Waldrum decided to build on this team, it won’t take long to see his efforts in this team.
Abi no be so ni Nigerians?
I will advise us all to kick sentiments out of our football so that both Super Eagles and Super Falcons can win trophies for us.
Who don’t like better? Absolutely nobody. If so, ire o. God bless Nigeria!!!

Hope the lost to the underdogs Jamaicans lady will teach the NFF a good lesson. Since they planned to kill the only source of joy the Nigerians are obtaining by denying some good, fit and reliable quality players national Team call up.
They lost one nill …..all they do is be taking selfie up and down. How can small team like Jamaica beat us like this.
@Zoomman,Small team like Jamaica? U no sabi wetin dey happen. Do u know 95% of the Jamaican girls play in the US top flight? They are effectively US team B. Just dey talk anyhow. Did u even watch the game? Our girls had ONLY ONE training session with so many new players due to withdrawals against Jamaica that was camped for 2 weeks with just one withdrawal. Even after that the girls performed especially the new ones in the 2nd half. We had a goal disallowed & hit the bar also. With time this team we be solid. I fear for Ghana ooo, even other African teams, cause from what i saw from the new players especially the US based ones, just give us the AWCON already.
