NFF saving grace. Senior team never played wafu of any kind before now.
Wafu B just bailed NFF on the greatest illpreparation YET to a world cup qualifiers tournament.
Coach Madugu has tried to inject fresh legs and lungs into this team in recent assignments. In midfield, he introduced Taiwo Afolabi, who, in truth, gave a decent account of herself.
But the elephant on the pitch remains the goalkeeping department, where Chiamaka Nnadozie has cut a wild swath, but cut through without credible competition for quite a while. If she unfortunately gets injured, we are screwed!
In the other departments, I am reassured that there is ample cover for ageing legs.
From a fan perspective, it is quite intriguing to see what the starting-11 will look like in the Wafcon. Will Osinache Ohale retain her place? Halimat Ayinde, Fransisca Ordega: Will they retain their slots?
Interesting times ahead. Left to me, the Super Falcons remain the team to beat. Everywhere you look, we have quality in-depth. Also, with an African coach at the helm, we should expect to see open, expansive, vibrant football.
