Oshola was blunt! To me! Though she has won awards, Oparanozie, Onumonu , Kanu , Maclean and Monday are better than her! Though Ethiopia has improved well but not well enough for us to have such a poor score with them! I have been to Addis Ababa and know the weather is unfriendly and fierce but the team needs to know the very prime purpose to get to Paris 2024! Yet that second goal was denied I know what happened to Algeria after our loss 2007 on artificial turf in Algeria got ‘ bong ‘ 6 nil in Nigeria! Super Falcons! Revamp oh!

Thank you brother for your cool analysis. "the less you talk about it the better" got me rolling 😂😂😂😂. I saw the match on KZfaq following your link though never understood the language they spoke. Nonetheless I love what you do for us and for our country. Please keep bringing them. Once again I thank you from my heart. ❤❤❤❤❤

When I was saying Oshoala is not that good upfront, people were coming for my head. Maybe she used to be good 4-7 years ago, but not anymore. I watched her matches, playing for Barcelona, and most of her goals were tap-ins. Even with that, she misses a lot of scoring chances. I argued before the World Cup that if Nigeria depends on Oshoala to score, NIgeria is not going to score a lot of goals. People came for my head. I said she is not clinical upfront. What happened? Nigeria scored only 3 goals in 4 matches. All goals in one match. Look at the 2 glaring chances she missed against Ireland. The goal she scored against Australia was a defensive error, had the defender not headed backwards, she would not have scored at all. It’s high time, the Super Falcons move on from her. She’s not that good anymore. I have been saying this for about a year. I don’t understand why Nigeria keeps on inviting players that obviously are regressing in their careers - just like Ahmed musa. There are new young exciting players coming up, give them a chance.

These Falcons did not look like the ones who narrowly missed the recent World Cup final.

Considering that the team had only 1 full training session and also had just 2 days in a high-altitude city like Addis Ababa (compared to the Ethiopians who are mostly based locally and in other East African countries, and are very well used to these conditions) I'll gladly take this 1-1 result. The return leg is next Tuesday, and by then, the Falcons would have had more training sessions and better coordination. But I still feel like our local coaches are not up to scratch. I still believe we'll beat Ethiopia and move on to the next round, but after that, the NFF MUST resolve Randy Waldrum's contract issues and have him on board during the next round. However, Oshoala MUST NOT start the return leg. She should be brought into the game later, like she was during the WWC. Also, one of Gift Monday and Uchenna Kanu must be benched. Imuran must start. Ajakaye's pace really hurt the Ethiopians, so I prefer her to start ahead of Monday or Kanu (or even Oshoala herself). Good luck to them on Tuesday.

I have paid attention as you said, Opeyemi wasn’t offside! Onumonu goal should have stood!

Sometimes, I don't understand how some of you that said you are into football or football blog don't know the simple rule of the game. No offside if that ball is in the air. Provided the player was onside when the ball was kicked. And in this case, the ball is in the air when Ajakaye seems to be offside, and the Ethiopian player headed it to Onumonu. There is nothing like offside in this goal.

I'm happy for African woman football.... it's improving....I love it

I think Falcons did very well. Playing in East Africa is not physiologically favourable to Nigerians, due to the higher slopes of their geography there, the lungs of people not used to that area will struggle more to adapt to the breathing requirements especially when doing sports as opposed to them that are used to the area.

The draw felt like a loss but the team will redeem themselves in the second leg. Oshoala played for 81 mins, zero shot on target against Ethiopia. The coach has a flurry of young strikers to pick from in the return leg. I hope Asisat doesn't start that match.

Rashidat Ajibade is the only experienced player in the super falcons. Sadly she doesn’t get her flowers. I’m always confident when she’s with the ball, Oshoala needs to improve on herself, she only has speed but no experience

A referee that awarded a goal kick that was meant not to be so to the disadvantage of the Super Falcons will not care to our players being hurt!

That's a high altitude area which is always difficult for us. They really should be commended for pulling away draw.

Oshoala is world class but she was disgraceful in this match Falcons shouldn’t be drawing with teams like Ethiopia, hopefully the second leg goes better. Hopefully the away goal advantage helps us

Good luck in the 2nd leg. A lot of work still to be done

The number 13 defender, akudo, was shaky in the game making us to miss ohale and plumptre but Tosin Demehin covered up for her most times. I feel our girls will do better in the return leg but Oshoala needs to be more clinical. Nice one from the girls.

It was a fair performance by the Falcons. Honestly Oshoala has lost her magic ever since she added weight.

Playing as a striker for Barcelona women is not the same as playing for Super Falcons. Barcelona women have the style, technical and tactical ability to not just create chances, but also often put them on a plater for their strikers. That fluidity and chance creation is few and far between at Super Falcons. Which is why Oshoala thrives there but struggles with Nigeria.

Nff.... should reemploy Randy W.. immediately.

I don't just like Oshola, she's too slow and dull. African football is just not favorable for her, she does better in her club... She should be brought in from 70mins in every super falcons's matches.

I think the team did ok based on the circumstances. The first half was attrocious by our standard. But in the second half our performance improved. The pitch was horrible to play on. I hope NFF settle Waldrum contract so he train the ladies for the second leg. I think in the second leg in Abuja we will play better footbal. A draw is better than a loss. In this two legged matches its better we score against them in Ethiopia. Also we shouldn't tske them for granted. The referee was unprofessional. She is North African but she should have showed compassion to Michelle Alozie when she was feeling Dizzy.

Oshoala is dangerous in certain situations. Her performance really depends on the defensive shape of the opponent. She reminds me of Rashidi Yekini. She is good at running against the defense. She is also a good passer in transition. However, she tends to be one-footed and isn't that good in the air. She packs a decent shot, but the majority of her goals have come from tap-in goals. If I were playing her, I would experiment with her on the left wing, just like they play Chukwueze, who is a lefty on the right wing. This is because she shoots with the inside of her foot. She missed two goals in a row at the World Cup owing to that. If she could hit the ball with her laces (called instep) or with the outside of her foot, she would be lethal. She can still improve. She is still young. However, I don't think she should be starting anymore. They should give other players the opportunity to show what they can do. If she reclaims the kind of form to deserve a start, she can always regain her starting position.

Honestly speaking I’m not gonna condemn anyone performance but the coach need to know we only need oshoala in big match or maybe she come in from bench , she has only experience nothing more 4 now fr😮she shouldn’t start game , ajibade, Monday are 💯 confidence in that front Let the coach give that ajakaye a better playing time 😊that gal got quality fr She entered in late hour and she got so much touches and dangerous attacks

we still can't get goals. I'm worried......All the best super falcon...make una try abeg ❤...government self still they OWE Una....Those government be b*stard and them dey buy SUV up and down...wayrey Leaders

Our 2nd goal was good 1 why cancellation ,the officials they no

Lets call a spade a spade. Enough of excuses. Super Falcons did not play well and the technical crew were incompetent and clueless. No way this team will go to the womens football Olympics - if we don't use the right players. We had the opportunity to have gone three goals up but we fluffed it. However, if we had played Ghana, Zambia, South Africa (womens team) - there would have been no way back for us. The truth is that Ethopian womens team have the potential in the scond leg to knock Super Falcons out of the Womens olympic football qualifiers. Disaster might be looming - the warning signs are there.

They barely had time to train. Eth, women are Mostly home based.

2Nd goal of urs na comfirmed, poor ref, no wonder him na Quackpiano

No more small team in female football in Africa... every country is investing in female football..very soon falcons domination will be over except they stick with consistency...

Shey na same naija wet play world cup be this???

Oshoala is a very poor player to Me right now, she’s very frustrating to watch and I think the Nigeria coaches should start putting her on the bench

Honestly osmolality matter tire me oo for national team, God dey oo

Gift Monday, oshoala,Akudo and kanu would have all started from bench.

Them go chop woto woto for abuja on the 31st na basket them go take carry am go back

The thing is that, asisat was too wasteful

This Falcons team is very poor. Can't believe it's this same team that went to world cup.

Oshoala is the player she thinks she is anymore, plus this coaching staffs are just very clueless ... What happened with Randy?

Nigeria second goal was not offside!!!!!!

Oshoala is not good anymore, like she used to be.. Our coach should drop her and look for young ones, who can run...

I did not see Randy Waldrum

It's safe to say Asisat Oshoala is over rated COMPARED to other Super Falcons, namely Rasheedat Abijade, Michelle Olozie and Ashleigh Plumptree. And I methinks it's way past time for the coaching staff to seek out other talent to complete with her, if not replace her at starting forward.

2nd will be 5-0

Our football across categories is on the decline. The NFF are not doing the needful. Bad coaching plus ineptitude administration is doing a lot of harm to a once pride of the nation.

Omo see 9ja coach i no fit laugh 😂 i like this nff this is the last busstop for them bcos they are out after this winning tgrm Cameroon 🇨🇲 or south African go commot them useless country which nonsesnse of nff
