Like Eguavoen, Madugu, please work with the players that you recently worked with (mostly home based) because you can’t waste the past international window to suddenly invite several foreign pros to play this “experienced” opposition.
Our local players are solid and playing Algeria with them was 15 steps too low. I don’t want an excuse that France “paid” huge dollars to see our “old” team.
Never. NFF must not waste dollars on flight tickets for players that will come from different parts of the world when we can take 20 at once from home.
Madugu has no time to work with players he’s not trained with first hand in 2024. Last year seems a distant memory.
Algeria double header lineup MUST PLAY FRANCE
THAT SQUAD MUST PLAY FRANCE. We didn’t “express ourselves” with Waldrum.
It will be cowardly to turn to our foreign pros who didn’t play in the last window WHILE OTHER NATIONS PLAYED WITH THEIR FIRST TEAMS.
Stop acting like a confused person. The Coach has a plan or whatever for his match, your job is to comment after you see list.
I’m looking forward to this Super Falcons match against France with cautious optimism. Kudos to the NFF for securing such a high-profile fixture—it’s exactly the kind of test the team needs to sharpen up. Magudu, this is your spotlight.
This match isn’t about the result as much as it’s about the process. Let’s see your team selection, tactical setup, adaptability to in-game challenges, and substitutions. We wanna see your intelligent response when France throws something unexpected at us. We want to see the team’s structure, resilience, and their plan under pressure?
France is no pushover—they’ll provide the kind of solid challenge that reveals strengths and exposes weaknesses. It’s the perfect litmus test to gauge whether Magudu has what it takes for the long haul.
Wishing the Super Falcons the very best. Let’s hope we come out of this match with more answers than questions.
I vehemently disagree with you Papafem.
We also care about the results…..LMAOoo.
We want to see the so-called “attacking tactics” Madugu’s lapdogs have so much bragged about here.
We want to see him put 4 to 5 goals past France the same way he has been putting them past the likes of CapeVerde and Ethiopia…..LMAOooo.
Some of us have been branded haters of Madugu and local coaches simply because we have refused to use matches against teams that struggle to qualify for WAFCON as benchmarks to rate Madugu.
So we want to see him attack France with reckless abandon the way he would attack Algeria and Ethiopia. If he can do that and go as par as putting at least 3 goals past France and come out without a defeat, I will sell all my body parts to support him for consideration as the permanent handler of the Super Falcons henceforth.
Its been over 2 weeks the friendly against France was announced and the silence from Madugu’s lapdogs is deafening.
And like Sly intelligently said up there, the NFF cannot afford to waste dollars on flight tickets for players that will come from different parts of the world when we can take 20 at once from home, with Madugu having little to no time to work with players he’s not trained with first hand in 2024. Its not more than 3 weeks ago we had a camp and played 2 warm up games.
Afterall, defeating Algeria was supposed to be a confirmation of how good enough the homebased player are.
