How good a footballer is Asisat Oshoala?
I mean this as a serious question. I have never really been able to watch her play an important match let alone a tournament for Nigeria. She either does not come to camp, or she departs camp or a match with an injury. Even when she is on the pitch, I cannot say I have seen her impact a match the way players like Mercy Akide and Perpetua Nkwocha did a decade or two ago. Her claim to fame and her accolades seem to be attributable to her club record.
OSHOALA Hailed in Spain.....BALLER
The tweet! Barcelona key into Nigerian street lingo to hail Oshoala

It has been trending for some weeks now and arguably Nigeria and Africa’s greatest female footballer ever is in the middle of it
A popular Nigerian social media slang has made its way down to Spain where one of Barcelona’s finest players is running the show.
In a tweet on Thursday on FC Barcelona Femeni official Twitter page, Oshoala was described as “Agba Baller” a tag she got from a skit that has been making the rounds across the Nigerian social media space.
“Agba baller” is a tag usually given to good footballers on Nigerian streets.
Oshoala stands out as one of the game’s best players, with her latest ranking as #16 in the Ballon D’Or underlining her soaring level in the game.
The difficulties of statistical thinking describes a puzzling limitation of our mind: our excessive confidence in what we believe we know, and our apparent inability to acknowledge the full extent of our ignorance and the uncertainty of the world we live in. We are prone to overestimate how much we understand about the world and to underestimate the role of chance in events -- Daniel Kahneman (2011), Winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics

Blistering pace
Amazing athleticism
Daring runs
Decent in the air
Can be twinkle-toed at pace (see WC goal against Korea)
Terrifies defenders because if she’s isolates you you’re in real trouble.
Can be a bit bone-headed with decision making and misses too many goals.
All in all, very much like her male counterpart, Osimhen and like him, on a bad day can piss you off but when she’s in the mood, totally unplayable.

Re: OSHOALA Hailed in Spain.....BALLER
With 2 assists & 2 goals against Benfica in the WCL yesterday, she truly deserves that monicker. Agba Baller, indeed!

We need to fast track the grooming of that Opeyemi in the Flamingos for the Super Falcons. Her pace is out of this world!
I agree with the original post. I have never understood the hype for Oshoala as it relates to the Super Falcons. I can't remember any Falcons game I have watched that she was the standout. Ajibade on the other hand, has been a standout in almost every game I have watched her play for the Super Falcons.

Re: How good a footballer is Asisat Oshoala?
she is better than any Striker in the Falcons squad, the last WAFCON she was in/fit , we won. Without her we had the slow Onomenu who couldn't out-perform her . She is the best player in AFRICA for both club and country. She has been carrying the FALCONS for years. FACTS and not feelings
Some of you here are stating she had been below par for the SF.. now name one SF player who has surpassed her in green white greeen . I dey wait una
