Nigeria’s Super Falcons have qualified for the Paris 2024 Olympic games football event.
The Falcons secured the ticket after holding South Africa’s Banyana Banyana to a goalless in the second leg in Pretoria on Tuesday.
The result means the Falcons go through 1-0 on aggregate after winning the first leg last Friday.
It is a return to the Olympics for the Falcons whose last appearance was at the Beijing 2008.
After the 2008 games, the nine-time African champions failed to qualify for the London 2012, Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020.

In the other qualifier Zambia defeated Morocco 2-0 away to advance to their second Olympic ticket.
The Copper Queens go through 3-2 on aggregate after losing the first leg 2-1 at home.

Congrats to Waldrum and the excellent ladies.
The team needs goal poachers in the mould of Mercy Akide. We need goal scorers in the Falcons and excellent Attacking midfielders for the Eagles.
This Mercy Akide didnt win anything these girls havent won. In fact, during her time , Nigeria was a walloping team when they faced the Europeans. Sometimes I wonder if we think properly
You dey yab Mercy Akide?
Make Colin Udoh no catch you for street ooo 🙂
Please don’t miss the point ooo and gbajue the argument. The team is in dire need of a potent striker and I knew how the Legend Akide used to score goals those days with ease.
Give that team a Kgatlana or Akide of yore if they will not win more trophies. But sorry, I may be arguing with a.small boy Keyboard Warrior. There is a need to pipe low jare
Things has changed, the opponent are more stronger now than before.
You are right on the thread of your point about a striker in the “Akide” mold, I think the guy missed the crucial point
But you are also very wrong about kgatlana – I have noticed many people “bigging” that girl up – she is absolutely nothing special! If you bring her into top level football teams, like for example (and everyone knows I am no longer a fan of Oshoala) but if you bring that yeye kgatlana into your barca femmes or Lyon womens or teamd like Chelsea or Arsenal Womens of current standards, she will fade away sharply – the kind of teams that our Oshoala shined in previously before her loss of whatever it is that she has lost, I am not sure where it is confidence, or desire or maybe it is age or motivation, whatever it is sha, before she lost it because she surely has lost it now – anyway back to kgatlana which was my main reason for coming in here – Kgatlana is not a player, she is too little, despite her rapid pace, she wont/can’t cut the mustard if/when the chips are down – you people talk as if she is better than girls like Kanu, or Ihezuo now or superstars like Rinsola etc – in fact there are many much better players in our team than not only kgatlana the whole bayana team player for player. And that’s just the fact!
@HenryR, what have these ones won that Mercy Akide didn’t win? These ones are still struggling to win WAFCON that Mercy and Co won many times, while getting to the quarter-final of the WC.
Abegi, let’s not insult the heroines who laid the foundation for the ones playing today. Nobody chooses when they’re born, and you can only play the team in front of you (except on Internet fantasies).
CONGRATS TO THE SUPER FALCONS!
That South Africa coach with typewriter mouth go cry this night.
She no no say Nigeria na South Africa Boss
I’m waiting for the excuse she is going to give for her failure.
Congratulations girls
Congratulations Nigeria.
You got it. Shey they said they didn’t cut the grass in abuja stadium. Now that they cut the one in Pretoria what happened. She makes noise a lot and not a good loser.
Hahahaha @Godsate, Nah really typewriter mouth. She and Kgatlana practically won the game 3 – 0 with their mouth before kickoff. Arrogance of the highest order while Waldrum and his girls just maintained dignified silence.
Funny the best chance of the match fell to Kanu and it could be another 1 – 0 win for Nigeria.
You are right. They were lucky again. It would have been 0:1 in favor of Nigeria.
Congratulations win or draw we made it but can the coach allow Magudu take care of the attacking department while he takes care of the defensive unit of the team? Just my opinion no be fight o.
You really believe in Magudu. That’s fine. Difference of opinions. But you seriously think Magudu’s team would have been able to play with the tactical discipline and resilience the team displayed today against a formidable opponent like SA?
Yes, he could have got past Ethiopia, maybe Cape Verde, but SA? I very much doubt it. His team was not as mature as Waldrum’s and played disjointedly. Most of the pros were also not horning invites under him. But no one has pulled out under Waldrum (except Plumptre cos of injury). That also says something. I’m sure NFF too knew that when the real battle started, they had to go get a battle-hardened coach in Waldrum.
That said, Magudu is the first assistant and I know he’ll have good inouts across the departments on the field of play, not just attack. Yes, we need very clinical strikers. Ihezuo was to a large extent caged today. She and Kanu are a good combo though but they need their boots sharpened.
Magudu had answers to those fluffed chances or goal creating issues. Waldrum is good when it comes to defensive unit, even during the last conference after the one zero win he admitted that not taking chances is a thing that can happen to most teams, and I have a feeling he can do better in this regard because he’s been with this team for a long time to be struggling with goal. If we carry on like this we might have to rely on luck to win a major silverware because goals is what win trophies. Make we sha celebrate this qualification and see if he’ll resolve this goal scoring issue before Olympics.
@Chima E Great Response Nwanne. No mind am..
Hahahahaha Mr CAF banned Nigeria from AFCON because of Saro Wiwa…LMAOOo. Mr Ndidi is the substantive SE captain, Ekong only stood in for him at AFCON…..LMAooo. Shameless piece of lying shit.
Empty barrels making so much noise here on CSN…..LMAooo
Birds of same feathers truly flock togather
Ethiopia sunddenly became greater than Cameroon….rather
@Chima, BLESS YOU!
Randy Waldrum has undoubtedly improved the team’s defensive organization but he clearly needs help in the attacking department. Even in our marvelous WC run, we could only score in one out of 4 games (including failing to take advantage of the numerical superiority against a tired 10-player England for over 30 minutes). As you suggested, perhaps the reigns of the team’s attack should be handed over to Justin Madugu (or someone similar). His SFs team certainly displayed more offensive nous and verve – and not just in their results but in the performances, irregardless of the opposition. After all, we huffed and puffed and struggled to overcome minnows Botswana 2-0 at WAFCON.
Simple as ABC my man and na this simple common sense person wan use enter me just because they don’t believe a black man has good in him.
Hahahaha…the last time we checked, Cape Verde and Ethiopia didn’t even qualify for the WAFCON a minnow-like Botswana qualified for….LMAOoo. So what does that say about their level or class….LMAOoo.
It is Madagu’s victories over these ‘worse-than-minnows’ teams that qualifies him as an “attack-minded” coach who should teach Waldrum how to attack…LMAOoo.
I am still struggling to find the common sense in claiming a man who defeats Cape Verde and Ethiopia should be a teacher to a man who has defeated the likes of CIV, Ghana, Cameroon, SA, and Australia, and drawn against the likes of England and Canada…LMAOoo
Madugu solving Ten and Units suddenly qualifies him to teach Advanced Mathematics and Computing to Waldrum who solves differential calculus and continuum mechanics.
Y’all should be patient ehn, you don’t need to cook up any self-seeking, nepotistic agenda yet. Save yourselves the stress. Waldrum will soon leave….your attack-minded Madugu will take over and have the team’s structures totally to himself – defence, midfield and attack, and then we will wait another 16 years to qualify for the Olympics and 20 years to reach the Qfinals of the world cup….LMAOoo
Our local clubs cannot qualify for the CAF Women’s Champions League…..even WAFU competition is becoming difficult for them to win. They seriously need your Super “attack-minded” Madugu….please tell him to go and assist them on that front first, before waving victories over Cape Verde and Ethiopia as proof of his competence as an “attacking coach”.
Ranting like a mad dog. Narcistic piece of shit. Remember when you wished for the downfall of Nwabali. You are a horrible human.
Kenneth/Ade/selfmade okponu omo. Mr Nashishist eleyin katafu.
1000 names and Ids, yet the same stupidity and senselessness.
What has this discussion got to do with Nwabali….ode lasan lasan ekeji aja
Please I beg you to go and copy and paste where I ever wished for Nwabali’s downfall. I am not a fool like you who gets carried away by a keeper who is shielded by 7 defenders but falls like a bag of Taiwan rice every and anytime the defence gets breached…..LMAoo. No wonder he is begging clubs on the pages of the internet to come for him….LMAOoo. The scouts and sporting directors of clubs are not idiots like you and your type. Stopping speculative shots with 7 defenders in front of you can never earn any sort of ratings from people who really know the art of goalkeeping and are devoid of any sentiments.
I’ll rather rant like a mad dog and still speak wisdom to the ears of sane people than be an imbecile like you who keeps impersonating other people yet continues to speak like the imbecile your mother gave birth to.
Adeoriburuku, Adeofo, Ade rada rada.
Kaa da fun awon to ni e. Won o ni jere e laye
Now in group C to play Brazil, japan and Spain, let’s first congratulate our girls having done us proud qualifying for the Olympics. However, the Super falcons can’t continue with this goal drought that saw falcons scoring just 1 in 2 games. Coach Waldrum I believed deliberately left Asisat Oshoala for the all important stage, World Cup and it’s time he began to do that as we need as many goals as possible. And not to tak it away from kanu and Ihezuo, they tried.
You and the one behind you both advocating for Oshola for our team are enemies of Nigerian football or now ZERO about football, you also must be completely blind if you are still calling for Oshoala after what we have all seen – please stop commenting on football and go and support netball or volleyball because you certainly know nothing about football and will be very very bad for nigerian football – Imagine trying to say that we are better with Oshoala over Kanu, Ihezuo etc Kai!
You’re very correct, the duo tried but the coach needs to be more serious9 because the WC isn’t for newbies that’s if the falcons intend to make an impact.
I would reply to you as well but cannot be wasting time over a very moot point – refer to my reply to your “friend” Kenneth above
Newbies he typed… Tribal sentiment apart, iheozuo and kanu aren’t there as standard forwards mostly when Super falcons have to face countries like Brazil, Japan and Esapanó. It can’t be a stroll in the park the very reason where experience and merit would play a pivot in Waldrum’s team selection after all, we’re well abreast of the fact that Ihezouo especially isn’t there yet. An Oshoala to the rescue comes WC proper
You’re only being emotional otherwise how can you be comparing apples to pepper fruits na? Or is it not obvious that without Asisat Oshoala super falcons can’t score? Ihezo and kanu are trying but are not there yet. It’s not saying we’re stopping them from being fielded but at the expense of a good showing in the WC, abba na.
Retaining Coach waldrum was the best decision this Nff has done since the inception of their administration..
Despite the heated arguments and confrontations and the coach deliberately avoiding his job for a period of time they settled and gave peace a chance, ignoring their ego for the betterment of the team..
That’s top quality administrative job.. we are not also appreciating the Glass House when they do good.. we sometimes only concentrate on their negatives..
I see this team doing well in the Olympics games proper and lifting the next women Afcon.. can you imagine that the super falcons coach wasn’t even nominated in the top 3 best coach in Africa women football the south Africa coach took all the awards… That’s robbery despite all he did in the last world cup..
Congratulations to the team and kudos to our goalkeeper again.. she is world class
Abeg who get groundnut?
I wan take am chop banana banana.
Their coach who was winding mouth up and down, how market? Na to dey watch Olympics from TV na em remain now. Better TV dey Alaba market. Make dem go dey prize TV for there.
Ololo, you combined TOP QUALITY ADMINISTRATIVE JOB and NFF in the same sentence?
E be like say we go change your name to OLODO. Just joking with you, bro.
Now back to serious discussion.
They had no legitimate reason to sack Waldrum in the first place! So why should they be praised for doing what any reasonable person would have done? Even an unreasonable person would still have retained Waldrum. How do you sack Waldrum after what he achieved at the last world cup? Beating Australia at home, and almost eliminating England? Even though they wanted to get rid of him because he exposed and disgraced all of them, THEY COULDN’T.
I repeat, they had NO LEGITIMATE REASON TO SACK WALDRUM.
If NFF start showing initiative, do their jobs well and use money judiciously and wisely, we will definitely praise them and be happy with them!
What legitimate reason did the previous Nff have for sacking rohn? Did he not meet all his target? Why did the previous Nff not win the case rohn brought against them to fifa and why were we forced to pay a fine for breaking the rules of his contract despite the old man meeting all set target put before him..
If it was the previous Nff, no matter what waldrum had achieved in the world cup, he would have received his sack letter immediately after losing to England.. for a coach who publicly insulted his employers, called them names and unprofessional, told the world how his salaries were not been paid and forcing fifa to look at the ways football administrator in Africa refuse paying bonuses of players..
Then after all these , both parties settled and pretended nothing happened between them.. we should appreciate them for that.. go and check what is currently happening in Cameroon between Eto and the ministry of sport then you will understand that the bad blood and ego in Africa football is responsible for the underdeveloped of our national team…
We should not only focus on the bad.. when they go well we should also praise them so they can be encouraged to do more.
So because they sacked Rohr but decided to do the right thing by not sacking Waldrum, you call that a TOP ADMINISTRATIVE JOB? They did not even decide to retain Waldrum willingly. They were cornered into it. Like trapped rats, scurrying about with no escape route. I should praise that?
This is part of the problem we have. Celebrating mediocrity. Professionals should be praised for doing the bare minimum? You might as well praise an Engineer for knowing basic addition and subtraction. How did he become an engineer if he is not willing or able to perform basic arithmetic?
A cook burned down the kitchen last week while attempting a simple meal. This week, he finally managed to cook without burning down the kitchen. So according to you Ololo, he should be praised for that? We should start shouting the cook’s praises from the rooftop because he did something he should ordinarily be capable of?
Well, if you chose to celebrate mediocrity, go ahead. It’s your prerogative.
As for me, I want to see solid, tangible progress. I will not settle for mediocrity.
If they want my praise, they should start by telling us what happened to the $4m Afcon money.
Additionally, I don’t see anything wrong in what Waldrum did. The man was angry and frustrated due to NFF incompetence and corruption. He had to speak out. I think he showed courage in doing that.
His SF players love him because he fought for them. Because of him, they all got paid their FIFA bonuses. Dem for no smell shi shi if Waldrum had not fought for them.
You say he called them names. Was it professional for them to call him a BLABBER MOUTH, just because he asked for his and his players’ entitlements?
If employers don’t want to be insulted in public, they should perform their basic functions with transparency. Waldrum did not do anything wrong. And FIFA sided with him, because he it was obvious he was in the right.
Na why i like u be dis we no go see fried rice come dey settle for garri
If na pure garri sef, we for manage am.
This garri, na sand full am!
The first time we have a Super Falcons team that is mature and plays according to their plans and tactics. After the first half, I knew the coach was cooking something.
It was just so.
despite playing without their usual defense line nothing was felt. They were focused on 90 minutes. When they said the crowd would not count, nobody believed them. Playing host Australia at the world didn’t mean anything to those who saw the crowd as the 12th player for South Africa.
Kudos to the Amazons of Nigeria.
Falcon doesn’t pull weight as they used to be in the past. The day Waldrum goes is when we shall all know that our girls are just running up and down. NFF needs to invest in female soccer ,Other countries have left us behind ,our saving grace is just that we have the capacity to muscle anybody.
Thank you, Bro. It’s a brilliant observation. Waldrum is just doing his best to keep the team in that form that will make them achieve the expected result. But it’s obvious the SFs aren’t just there.
If any of us here has been following the team for the past 25 terms, we’ll notice that we’ve allowed the world to catch up with us including many African countries. I remember some years ago that the NFF presented 2 different Super Falcons in two different international matches, the main team in Europe or Asia and the other in Nigeria, on the same day for edeged international matches. We win both, with one Igbinjionu leading the home-based team at home then. Thrte was a friendly match played early 2000s against in England. The SFs won that nmatch y a lone goal with Patience Avre mesmerizing the English crowd in a total display of football artistry. Such was the depth and quality that time. But not any more.
Today, we struggle against teans like Zambia and South Africa, even against Morocco a team we messed up big time in Abeokuta at the Moshood Abiola Stadium during the first organized WAFCON.
And this is not just in football. In Harare 95, the Nigerian table tennis team won all the 7 gold medals in table tennis. Did anyone remember? Today, Egypt has taken over big time. In the same competition, it was total dominance for us in the sprints and middle distance races. Today, the fastest African man over 100 meters is a Kenyan, country renowned for long distance races. Boxing, wrestling and even weightlifting under that legendary Bulgarian, coach Panev, won Nigeria laurels. But if not for that Canadian- Nigerian ex Olympic champion, Ighali, Nigerian wrestling would have been dead and buried.
Who noticed we’ve stopped qualifying for the Olympics football event for men since its now obvious that clubs in Eutope won’t release their players for international matches outside FIFA window. We qualified through our foreign based players in 1996 and 2000. Siasia managed to also qualify in 2008 and 2016 with a mixture of both home and foreign based players, even though it was tough. But did anybody see how Eguaveon and Salisu messed the whole thing up because they couldn’t just raise any quality team from the league to compete at the African qualifying tournament. Trust me, if clubs had refused to release their players for the these matches the Super Falcons played, we would have lost the ticket to SA because they have the best female football league in Africa. Sundowns have won the first two editions of CAF Champions League for Women. And they will continue winning for a long time. If any country will challenge them, it’ll be Morocco and not Nigeria. The question is where are Ifeoma Babes, Jegede Babes, Omidiran Babes and Police Machine of the 90s and early 2000 thst produced our best players till today? The system has killed them.
The point is, the current generations of sport federations are total misfit. They can’t develop the games they oversee and lack the capacity to generate required fund for teams to either get good coaches or attend international competitions. It’s a national problem not the NFFs. Nigeria is generally sick, but the talents of its youths are never in doubt.
I noticed some errors and omissions. It’s a pity the edit button is gone. The friendly match I mentioned was against England in England. Apology for those key mistakes. Typing with phone at times comes with its own challenges because of the tiny keypad. And the CSN has refused to reactivate the edit button.
Well done Papafem. Weldone for taking us back to the good old days.
The era you mentioned when we raised 2 teams competing simultaneously was in 2003. While the main Falcons with the Dedes, Omagbemis, Akides and Nkwochas were competing at the world cup in the USA in 2003, then led by Sam Okpodu (also an American college coach at that time), Ismaila Mabo was leading a 2nd Falcons team with the likes of Nwadike (captain), Late Ajuma Ameh, Titilayo Mekuleyi, Blessing Igbojionu and the rest to the All Africa games…and guess what we still won the Gold medal at that games with practically our B team.
That was how far ahead of the rest of the continent we were.
We once walloped England (under Hope Powell) 3-0 in a friendly on a cold night in London. A home-based Falcons team also once walloped Arsenal Ladies 5-1 in Lagos when Kanu Heart Foundation facilitated a friendly between the 2 teams back then.
But today, we are so far behind that we went 16 years without seeing Olympics football and 20 years without seeing the knockout rounds of the World Cup.
Our Struggles at the AWCON too are well documented. We’ve progressively found it difficult to win that tournament over the last decade.
In the early 2000s, if anyone told me there would be a CAF Club tournament for women and we wouldn’t win its first 5 editions in a row, I would have recommended psychiatric evaluation to that person. But that is the case now…we cannot even win the CAF Women’s Champions League as it stands now as long as teams like Mamelodi Sundowns ladies and FAR Rabat Ladies are in that same competition. Hell, we didn’t even qualify for the last CAF Women’s Champions League.
In all honestly, things have gone south for us. Our Sports Ministry in its entirety is a colossal failure….we can’t even have our Biannual National Sports Festival regularly anymore.
Thank God for foreign leagues and foreign-born players in our sports. They are the ones “pancaking” the rot in our sports. Yet so hate-filled bigots will stop at nothing to frustrate or outrightly shut out these foreign-born players out of the national team under the guise of “WE HAVE MANY TALENTS IN OUR DOMESTIC LEAGUE”
Sports development is this close to being dead and buried domestically in Nigeria, yet we keep having sport minster after sports minister but a “deader” development structure than the previous.
My fear is no longer the fact that the rest of Africa has caught up with us, my fear is that we will wake up one day and discover they have all left us behind.
Like play like joke, we hardly find more than 1 or 2 products of the NPFL in a 23 man SE team…..that is not even bad, now we are struggling to name a SE 11 without 6-7 of them being foreign-born. At a point in time our entire backline were all foreing born.
We were struggling to find products of the NPFL in major leagues in Europe….now we are struggling to find them in major leagues in Africa too.
The trajectory isn’t looking good at all……and I hope we don’t get to that point when an entire starting XI wouldn’t be all foreign-born players.
Great history but remember that all the teams have upped their ante with excellent coaching. Mamelodi Sundowns women coach is tactically sound but I cannot mention one sound local women coach in Nigeria.
Morocco we used to thrash 5 nil now has academies for girls aside a well grounded structure. Wetin we get. Over confidence and complains that we are struggling to win AFCON. We need to grow up.and start doing the right things
They have a league for university students in SA, we don’t. Let’s forget the glory days and equip sound local coaches with international workshops and coaching training to achieve the fears of yore. I get am before no be property.
@Coache, there is female football competition(s) at the university level in Nigeria….
NUGA (Nigerian Universities Games) features female teams, and several universities have female teams that participate in regional local leagues and grassroots competitions (especially in the SouthWest and SouthSouth). In fact, most residence halls these days have female teams that participate in intra-mural competitions. Of course, about every state in Southern Nigeria (I personally don’t know much about the North) has had a female version of the Principals or Governor’s Cup for secondary schools for the past several years.
The reality is that female football is getting much BETTER on all fronts domestically in Nigeria. We now have a much better organized female league with much better pitches and facilities (at least, at the top level) than the haphazard league of the supposedly “glory” days when teams would often skip away games and even sometimes entirely drop out of the competition midway during the season. Meanwhile, while I take cognizance that you SUBJECTIVELY claim not to “know” any “sound” local coach, I dare say that coaching (and in most cases, general administration) has much improved.
The most important thing that the NWFL lacks (and pretty much the same for the 2d Division Championship and the third-tier Nationwide States’ League) is MONEY! That’s why (I suppose as with Nigerian doctors, nurses, other professionals), they’re ready to japa to anywhere where they can make a living solely from playing football at the drop of a hat. Nonetheless, it’s noteworthy that those players who arguably were most prominent in securing this Olympic qualification were “hatched” in the Nigerian League.
Excellent piece. Truly Nigeria is at risk of being left behind. The coaching needs to be improved so performance is attractive and gets results. The alternative team when Waldron was absent played more attractive football, although it was not so sound defensively.
With Ucheibe the rugged lass, coupled with Deborah Abiodun and Halimat Ayinde in the middle, I knew we were going to qualify. Nnadozie the Cat is unstoppable any day anywhere. Big up lasses.
The only BUT is Onumonu
What happened to the good pitch, high altitude and thin air? Lol
Those things don’t play football my brother. Please remind them abeg.
Pretoria no be johanesburg besides abuja sef get altitude and heat
Is it true that Bobisky aka yellow girl can play football very well? We are looking for attacking power with the Falcon. I heard where a lot of women are, Bobisky won. Please invite Bobisky fast fast.
Dr Drey and Chima E, Please allow peace to reign. Both of you are very great with good indepth knowledge of football. Football is meant to unite people.
I absolutely have nothing against him for we war not against flesh and blood. You know how the enemy works anything that God creates for good he turns it into a curse to the carnal man. I made my point due to my own personal observations. I have relationship with several whites and I know not all of them are genius but in Nigeria our people always want to bring down locals and hype even an average white. Sometimes it’s valid but when you see a spade you call it a spade.
I am not against Waldrum and there’s nothing he achieves that surprises me because I even predicted this match as draw on sofa score app, if anyone doubts me I will write on the comment section on that match so he can link in my profile to see my last prediction. When you see beyond today people tag you names and all sort just because they’re blinded by todays excitement forgetting that Goals win trophies in most cases. Look at our match against England we had more shots but couldn’t score a goal and lost to England on penalties. This scenario will likely repeat itself if we don’t address the goal conversation issue.
Our aim as sports addicts because we have gone beyond sports-lovers is for us to win trophies of which Waldrum is yet to achieve that is why hitting the nail on the head of the matter has to addressed, instead some will allow themselves to be a tool of abuse or provocation by Lucifer to incite bitterness and cause one to fall after retaliation. I am friends of football and nothing else that is why I come online on CS since 2011 when I left the shores of the country just because I no longer have access to the physical newspaper else I will not be online going back and forth with a stranger that I don’t wish to fraternise with. I have some friends on this forum and I also have some who are against me even if they agree with me just because of this same person who’s always looking to disrespect me because he’s pained for whatever reason. I know hurt people hurt people but he needs to change else he will be hurting and eat the fruit of rebelliousness if he doesn’t stop being a tool of manipulation by his master(Satan) who has no good to offer.
Hahahaha…look at this shameless hypocrite, a bloody agent of darkness acting all sanctimonious here when your vulgarity here on CSN is well documented…LMAOoo. Or need I remind you that you have prayed death on me on not less the 4 occasions on this forum in the past…Yea…practically saying you pray I would die soon…?
Folks here know you more than you think, and cannot be deceived by your libelous tongue and this grossly fake sanctimonious facade you are trying to present like your father Lucifer does when trying to find prey.
Our games against teams like SA, Cameroon, England etc are a good examples for you as evidence we can’t score goals…but our game against Cape Verde and Ethiopia (teams that cannot even qualify for WAFCON for years) is proof we can score goals….LMAOooo…what hypocrisy..! That’s how big a fool you are.
A sensible person would first wait for Waldrum to face teams like CPV and Ethiopia who cannot even qualify for WAFCON and Madugu to face teams like SA, Cameroon, Canada etc before running mad on the streets about how dexterous Madugu is with attacking football….LMAOOo
But as common sense is not common, I don’t expect everyone to have it.
Lets even wind back to pre Waldrum….we couldn’t score against Cameroon at the 2018 WAFCON, scored only 1 goal against them at the 2016 edition and 2 at the 2014 edition. Against south Africa at the 2018 WAFCON, we also couldn’t score against them in 210 minutes of football and scored just 1 goal against them at the 2016 edition. In between we have been playing draws intermittently with both teams.
So, please what has Waldrum done wrong…???
This is not the 90s and early 2000s when we would put 5 or 6 past them…..they are all now as strong as we are. They have all been to the Olympics, reached the last 16 of the WC like us and now reach the WAFCON final consistently these days. Whether under Waldrum or any coach whatsoever, matchups between us and them these days are always tight and low-scoring if not ending in a draw.
Teams like Ghana, Cameroon, CIV, EQG are the reasons we couldn’t qualify for the olympics for 16 years. Waldrum has faced them all (including the current African Champions) in qualifiers and gotten the better of them all.
Football is a game of strategy, not a game of brute force.
So anyone who thinks one Madugu with no reasonable coaching success in his career would orchestrate a 5-0 win or any high-scoring victory against Cameroon, CIV, South Africa, Ghana, Morroco or Zambia in this current dispensation of female football in Africa just because he beat Cape Verde 5-0 must be living in fools’ paradise. Infact that person must be incurably stupid.
Madugu has been an assistant coach in the Falcons since 2012 or thereabout….that’s as far as I hear his name. I hardly hear his name mentioned in connection with successes with a club in the domestic women’s league (I stand to be corrected). He should go and demonstrate his attacking prowess there….since every team he touches scores 5 goals against every class of opponent he meets.
No dog in the fight between you and Mr Chima but one thing i want to add to the conversation is that Chima has a point about our goal scoring deficiency. He asked for work to be done on our finishing and i completely agree with him on that. It’s not that we should be scoring 5 or 6 like you say but it’s the number of quality chances we’ve consistently failed to convert that’s worrying. That has to be addressed or no way we advance far in competitions.
I will also add that this constant back and forth of barrage of insults between you two is a bit over the top and can be avoided if either one of you chooses to be the bigger person and just ignore the other or respond without insults. Na my own talk be dat
No those INSULTS will never stop until you say that parrot and narcissist to learn to respect others. He feels he knows it all and his opinion is above others. He is just a mentally deranged old fool. So let him continue, we have his size here.
Nigeria
Spain
Brazil
Japan
This is a very tough group…..Even spain might not qualify lol
Our group na waya. Make unu try ehn.
Alhamdulilah. Congratulations to our ladies. They did it again.
I can’t wait to see Super Falcons ruling the world of football once again in France.
For you NFF ajewomasan the debtors, you people have no shame fa. They are getting everything wrong because they have no ideas of what they are doing kę.
Kai, NFF have to be scraped. Congratulations Nigerians. Congratulations once again Super Falcons. Hmmmm. Ire o. God bless Nigeria!!!
These girls do us proud. A Nigerian fan jokingly described the South African coach mouthy language as ‘typewriter’, every Nigerian truly agreed with him. S/A coach talked too much. If boasting, jeering the opponent wins games, S/A would be the best team in Africa. Our coach is the best in the business. He knows his Orchard.
Is it possible to ask Mr Waldrum to switch over to manager the super eagle where Nigeria lacks competent coach? Oga Finidi George is a non-starter. Because of him, Nigeria may not qualify for the forthcoming World Cup in USA.
We can borrow him in June at least but contractual issues will not allow that.
@Edoman …LOL!
Abegi let’s not compare Apples with Agbalumo. Different kettle of fish, and frankly every evidence is that the best we would get in that situation would simply be a cheaper version of Gernot “Sleeping Pill” Rohr.
… Coach George will still lead the team against South Africa in June.
Well done girls.After 16 years of waiting.You have gotten us,a ticket that is long elusive.Thanks for putting smiles in the mouths of football lovers all over Nigeria
olasebipupo -This yeye batty guy ehn, now you come add sunday to your name again? lool MUMU – Everyone knows you are that “sick in the head” gayman arara krumblie, see as your psyche just dey crumble?? hehe – Give up the sinful lifestyle and stop doing drugs before it is too late for you! MUGU lol
I’m sure you don’t even kow the meaning of the name you are polluting – you seem to me to be a south hafrican or southern African of some sort – that is where we have many of these retards coming from – either that or you must be Kenyan or ghanain yeye sawdust! hehehe
CONGRATS SUPER FALCONS! WELL-DESERVED AND HARD-EARNED QUALIFICATION…
Nonetheless, the days of blowing out other African opponents are well past never to return. Just the teams that used to blow us out at the WC (such as the USA 7-1 in 1999, and Sweden 8-0 in 1995) are almost certainly NEVER going to be able to do so to us these days – and not because their program is in a “rot” or their lack of investment in female football. The reality is that the world has simply changed (including ourselves, for better and worse). The days of having the Super Falcons (or other NTs) in camp for months on end is well and truly gone, never to return, and that sort of chemistry is not replicable in a few days of training (eg, the team had barely one full training session before the recent away game against Ethiopia). The best we can do these days is retain the same primary pool of players and hope that on each assemblage of those players they would be able to continue to build upon previous experiences (at least until we get a few weeks for a major FIFA-sanctioned competition).
Meanwhile, let’s not be mistaken, there’s actually been a MASSIVE ‘investment’ in female football in Nigeria (perhaps not in the same sterile organized manner as in some other countries, but still massive nonetheless) – in addition to the significant social and cultural stigma of being a female footballer in the past being substantially eliminated (at least in Southern Nigeria, I just don’t know much about female football in the North). There are female football academies all over the South (not just in Lagos, where there is an academy in virtually every local government area), female football competitions at the secondary school and tertiary educational levels, and well over 100 female league clubs at the different tiers of the female league overseen by the NWFL, with much improved facilities (and in many cases, player welfare) at the highest tier. Reality is THE FUTURE OF NIGERIAN FOOTBALL LOOKS MORE LIKELY FEMALE!
If they aren’t allowed’ to lead their kwantry politically speaking, they should concede football space to them biko…
Abeg o allow them to play for their country o.
As a matter of national interest, Waldrum must remember that Nigeria is a secular state with full compliment of federal character. Where are tge Jumais, Aishas, Miriams in the super falcons? This drummer man must be sentimental to one region.
How can you be comparing apples to pepper fruit na? You must be from a sadEast state to ever have such set of typing tools. Now to Super Falcons, the reason why they managed to qualified despite playing with majorly their 2nd eleven, is because even the Banyana baes aren’t in their best form otherwise veterans like the real Agba-baller Oshoala and her type are to be back in the team to beef up the attacking third which is clearly lacking putting the recently past matches in perspective.
Spot on!!!
Which one is fake AgbaBaller? Lol!
