Re: FALCONETS QUALIFY FOR U20 WWC
Good!!!!! I look forward to watching them at the competition.
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

They have a lot of work to do ahead of the World Cup. I was not impressed with them today.

Congrats to the girls. Time to get to work and prepare hard for the big dance.

Hopefully the NFF will arrange for the team to have relatively good preparations for the WC..
The team has good players, and if need be Deborah Abiodun and Flourish Sebastine are still age-eligible for this WC.

Re: FALCONETS QUALIFY FOR U20 WWC
Rofiat Imuran is still eligible as well. However the key as you said is the type of program that the NFF will draw up for them. There's still time for coach Danjuma to continue to tinker with the team if there are adequate preparations.

Re: FALCONETS QUALIFY FOR U20 WWC
Why should she be called up? She is already in the Falcons. The U20 is a developmental tournament not a must win. Call up younger players and give them exposure.mystic wrote: ↑Sat Jan 20, 2024 8:29 pm

Re: FALCONETS QUALIFY FOR U20 WWC
I don’t think the US thinks of the U20 WC as “a must win” and yet Sophia Smith was in the US’s 2018 U20 WC squad - after being capped at the senior level in 2017. Linda Caicedo is another senior international who played at the 2022 U20 WC after being capped at the senior level for Colombia in 2019 (and btw subsequently played at an even younger level at the 2022 U17 WC in November, about 2 months after the 2022 U20 WC). And these are just two highly-visible examples, but reasonably certain there are likely several more instances - and of course even moreso in the men’s U20 WC.bret- hart wrote: ↑Sun Jan 21, 2024 1:07 amWhy should she be called up?

Now, coming to the Falconets, while I personally don’t think Imuran’s services would be necessary all things being equal (ie, no catastrophic or last-minute injuries, etc.), since her position is being filled by the Falconets’ skipper and thus presumably an area of strength on the team, in principle I would have little or no qualms about the odd age-eligible player or two already capped at the senior level (such as Comfort Folorunsho, as well as the aforementioned Abiodun or Sebastine) being added to the WC squad if it makes the team a better tournament-ready team - not least because young players actually often “develop” arguably even better when playing on better TEAMS!

When is this tournament? I might just fly in for our games. Flight from Houston to Columbia is only $500. $300 if you fly spirit air and carry your luggage on your lap like Kongi.

I'm not saying that she should be called up. I'm just pointing out that she's still eligible since Gotti had mentioned other players who still have eligibility. Whether she's called up or not is a decision that's left for coach Danjuma.
Re: FALCONETS QUALIFY FOR 2024 U20 WW
Gotti, a few months ago you mentioned a new young Falconet (?). Extremely tall and skilful, you seemed quite excited by her. Is she on this team?

Re: FALCONETS QUALIFY FOR 2024 U20 WW
If you’re referring to the posts below, she’s on the team (#9)…
I think while she shows potential, she’s still behind the likes of Sebastine.

She’s the 2022 U17 WWC goalkeeper, and the team is accordingly 19 players
Meanwhile, I hear that Janet Akekoromowei (16 years old, 6’2”), the first player from the Asisat Oshoala Academy to be invited for any of the youth national teams is serious baller and one to keep an eye on for the future.

Re: FALCONETS QUALIFY FOR 2024 U20 WW
baller, watched the full match from Gotti,'s post above and she showed great potential, even runs like Oshoala sef. The girls played very well just need to be more selfless upfront and it would have been more than 1 goal.Gotti wrote: ↑Sun Jan 21, 2024 5:25 pmIf you’re referring to the posts below, she’s on the team (#9)…
