The Super Falcons - not so "super"

Post by kendo »

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigeria ... tball_team

I was recently thinking about the women's national team.
And how well they've performed on a World stage.
Apart from once getting thru to final 8 in the FIFA Women's WC, they haven't seemed to have really reach their potential. We only dominate the women's AFCON.
Just like the men their U17 & U20 seem to have performed better.

What is needed for the super falcons?? We have the talent (Oparanozie, Ordega, Asisat).

What is their flaw and how can they overcome it.
Anyone that can fry 3 sets of plantain without putting any in their mouth can keep a secret.

Mental attitude and self-belief.

They also need super exposure at the best leagues...

also they need motivations from the authority when representing Nigeria..

They also need push and investment just like the men's team. I don't know how the NFF try to develop the women's team.

Lack of proper preparation contributed to the 8-0 loss to France. EIGHT whole goals to zero.

Side note: Sophie Omidiji may have been better of with USA or Netherlands. (Falcons seem to under rate her coz she is not as physical as the others. )

...and organization as is at the men's level. If the SE is treated poorly, shabbily, what do you expect of SF?

They won't be doing much under this present NFF. Pinnick has ZERO regards for women's footie.

Sad to see this generation of footballers not being given the best opportunity to dominate.

Their welfare needs to be addressed and their game respected by the authorities.
