African Football Discussion Thread {Male & Female} Current Topic: 👉 WAFCON

[Mayor of ogba]

The Nigerian Falcons started the chase to regain the African title on a very good note. They defeated the Tunisian female national team in their first game today. Rinsola Babajide celebrated her goal by mimicking Diogo Jota's style in an emotional remembrance of the late Liverpool player. The Nigerian team lost lots of chances but I am glad they got the maximum three points.

The Super Falcons of Nigeria are always making us proud, there are the best female team in the whole Africa if I am not mistaken because they are one of the best teams in the world and any team across the world fear them when it comes to female football.

They can regain their championship if they keep this good performance up, 3-0 in their first match against Tunisia is a good one; Asisat Oshoala opened the score are usual because she has been making the team proud for long and keeps her good job to help the country. If the Super Eagles of Nigeria can be like these ladies, they Nigeria will be the best team in world of football.

Our girls always make us proud in most of their matches and i hope they maintain that energy continuously. There are quite some skillful and talented girls in the squad such as Asisat Oshoala, Michelle Alozie and the rest of them but my concern is with the management of the NFF because i read about a complaint by the Super Falcons claiming that they are being owed match allowances and other entitlement. This is very bad because every hard work deserves rewards, our girls are trying their best to represent Nigeria, it is the duty of the NFF to ensure that their welfare is adequately taken care of and not allow anything that will demoralize the minds of the players. Winning Tunisia Women by 3:0 shows great strength and passion for their dear country. The Super Falcons has even performed better than the Super Eagles in recent years, so they deserve to be commended for their devotion towards the well-being of the team.

Our girls have been like this for so many years, and I believe they will maintain this same energy in years to come or even perform better than this because we always have good talent in our women's football. I don't know why NFF always finds it very difficult to treat the Super Falcons very badly because I also read that two Super Falcons players are sharing one hotel room in Morocco for the Women's African Cup of Nations, which isn't supposed to be so, but since NFF is fond of giving our girls poor treatment, they see it as a normal thing for two Super Falcons players to share one hostel room in Morocco.

Normally, the Nigerian Super Falcon are not like their male counterpart (the Super Eagle). They played good football with their whole heart and not like the men team that play with pride and unseriousness. I personally commend Rinsola celebration as a sign of tribute to late Diego Jota but I was surprised to see how people were criticising her action for paying a tribute to Jota instead of paying a tribute to Peter Rufai. That was a very unnecessary criticism from our people honestly. It was a deserving victory from our ladies and hope they keep and maintain the energy always.

My absence lead to me not watching this game. Well, I watched the highlight the next day. And all I can say is that I'm very much proud of the Super Falcons. The team spirit is different from what I see in the Super Falcons. You know in a team where everyone sees each other as equals they work together perfectly. We barely can find such relationship within the Super Eagles in the pitch. Pride, ego, and competition is most felt among them.

I feel so comfortable betting on our Super Falcons they're more composed than the male side I just love their effort and how they've been making us proud within and outside African competitions, those ladies make me believe that the saying " what a man can do a woman can do better is very true". I didn't watch the match cause of numerous work activities but on seeing the score against Tunisia I'm so proud of the Super Falcons, I wish them more victorious days ahead.

I dont know how many of us have come across the news today. An African DM (Defensive Midfielder) who plays for the Ghanaian National team and an Ex Arsenal player has been allegedly charged by the Metropolitan Police with five counts of rape and one count of sexual assault, against three women between 2021 and 2022 with evidence claimed the accuser. He is said to appear before the court on August 5, 2025 at Westminster Magistrates’ Court.

Whats your say on this guys?

The news has been out there for about a week plus now and it is still shocking to me that this case has been going on for quite a while now but as they say you are not guilty until proven guilty so let’s wait until the court decides before finally concluding on whether or not he did it.

I'm so proud of the Falcons, they are stopping at nothing to keep the flag flying up high, I love that they had a flawless victory here, this is an epic start and I believe they have what it take to sustain this energy they have started off with .

I will be even far more proud if I see that they win the African title again this year knowing that they are currently the highest holder amongst other African female teams.

This is surprising to hear, let's see what becomes of the case, if proven guilty or not. This is what happened between 2021 and 2022, and the accused women refused to bring it up till that time till now that  Partey is out of contract with a club. What's the game plan? Hope the judgement of the case will turn out fine in Partey favor, not the one that will destroy his reputation and football career.

I feel really bad for the player, hope he prevails if truly not guilty. This is not the first time something like this is happening to footballers, why don't they learn how to stay away from problems, if the court considers him guilty, not only will his carrier end from here, there are chances of him going bankrupt after some time.

NAPOLI BLOCKS OSIMHEN'S TRANSFER TO GALATASARAY

Napoli has blocked Victor Osimhen's Galatasaray transfer citing that they can only accept full release clause payment by Galatasaray and not 5 installmental payments. For me i think Galatasaray shouldn't put themselves under pressure just to sign a single player like Victor Osimhen because the club don't have enough money to foot his transfer fee and running into debt just to sign him should not be the best option and if Napoli keeps making things difficult for Clubs that comes to sign Osimhen, he should just relax till his contract expires and he leaves as a free agent instead of this frustrations by Napoli.

Nothing has been done and said immediately this news came up, let's stay positive and make sure that other young black players learn from stuffs like this. I'm more concerned about who wins the African best player award though. We can all agree that Hakimi is the right owner of thay award yeah? He has achieved a lot to be ignored this season.

We saw Tunisia women's football team very well in all point of views because they could not perform anything in last match which they played against Nigeria women's football team. One team did 3 goals in this match and opponent team could not do any goal in this match. The stats of Tunisia women's football team was vulnerable in this match as their shots were very low in this match and these were only 6 and no shot was on target. The possession percentage of that team was very low and that was 28 percent. Possession percentage always play crutial role in the match and we saw low possession by that team.The passes and pass accuracy was also low and that was the reason opponent team easy won this match.

Galatasaray has seen the potential of Victor Osimhen and what they will achieve if they sign him from Napoli this season, but it is so unfortunate that Napoli rejected Galatasaray's installment payments and insisted Galatasaray should pay Victor Osimhen's transfer fee at once. Victor Osimhen is a good player, and Galatasaray will make a big sale from Victor Osimhen jerseys, but if buying Victor Osimhen from Napoli will make Galatasaray run into debt, they shouldn't take that risk to sign Victor Osimhen, and if another club doesn't show interest in signing Victor Osimhen, I believe Napoli will change their mind and accept Galatasaray's offer when the transfer window is about to close.

I just don't know why Napoli wants to frustrate Osimhen they don't want him anymore then they should make it easier for him to leave instead chasing potential buyers. If Manchester United were a serious team they would've taken advantage of this opportunity to sign this quality attacker they're lacking cause he'll single handedly help them qualify for the Champions League next season. That alone is worth paying Osimhen the wage he's demanding instead of asking him to accept a pay cut.

Even if they frustrate clubs from signing him, who is gonna lose in the end when he leaves as a free agent? Napoli is just showing hatred and jealousy since they expected him to underperform when he signed for Galatasaray on loan but instead dude keeps winning over there and gaining more relevance. I heard that Manchester United and  Napoli are in talks over his signing so let's see if it gets a headway because he will fit in well at United even though it will require concerted efforts for the team to shine. Victor Osimhen is a player that lights up any team he signs for because his presence is always noticed due to his charisma.

I don't think that Manchester United is in the picture again concerning oshimen since he has refused to move to the Saudi the only option left for oshimen right now is Galatasary and from the look of things Napoli is likely to frustrates oshimen move to Galatasary from the look of things

Galatasaray knows Osimhen worth and his capable to do on the pitch if they finally signed him to their club. You wouldn't blame them for trying their best to sign Osimhen despite the huge sum involved.

Nevertheless, Osimhen contract with Napoli will expire in June 30 2026. Osimhen had sign a three years contract with Napoli in December 2023 before the misunderstand between Osimhen and the club management issued out. That makes it that the Napoli management will continue to decides on Osimhen fate to be signed at any club they want, if they club can pay for his release clause.

In that case, Osimhen wouldn't like to stay out from the pitch for about a year without having signed to a club. That wouldn't speak volume towards his football career. He would like to hear of, from time to time of how deliver his fellow teammate in a given match.

It's unfortunate, this is going to be frustrating on Osimhen side that he is not the one to decide on his fate with Galatasaray, Napoli is the one to decide all that for him. He should be calm in all this and pray for things to fall better so that there will better take up on agreement between Napoli and Galatasaray

Victor Osimhen wants to play at the highest level of football for now; that's why he refused to move to the Saudi Arabian league. Manchester United have not made any formal approach to signing Victor Osimhen from Napoli, and I believe if Manchester United meet Victor Osimhen's release clause, Victor Osimhen will gladly move to the Premier League and play for Manchester United because he will have the chance to play at the highest level of football.

What highest level of football does he want to play he has been playing in the top leagues in Europe he has played in the German bundesliga, French ligue 1 and the Italian seria A where he won the scudetto with napoli so I didn't see any football that is higher than these leagues I have mentioned the best option for him now is to move to the Saudi league and make the money if oshimen wants to play in the highest level then he will not be playing in a league like the turkey super league

Hey Agbe, what's up? I think you asked the right question about what the highest level of football is and your great analysis of it as well. I want to say that it is even only Osimhen that can answer this question. All we are doing are just speculating. Osimhen knows what he wants, where he wants to play and where he doesn't want to go. We don't have all the details nor do we know what happens behind the scenes.

For me I believe it's because of the passion for playing on recognize league or where he is  appreciated that made him just to let the offer of the Saudi league go because money wise that's the better offer but osimien still has some years to play and enjoy his football and him moving to the Saudi league will just make his urge for top football drop and even retirement.
