I don't think the Nigerian team lost the game against their South African Opponents because of lack of concentration. The Nigerian team were well equipped and fully prepared for the game but the South African team were better today in terms of performance and utilization of opportunities too, moreover football game is not predictable any team can defeat even a big team no matter the squad in the team and that was what we saw in the game today. History have been made because finally, South African team defeated the Nigerian team after a long time.
We have a lot of players who do not play in the qualifiers but want to play for the team when we make to the tournament. You're surprisingly okay with the loss. Many Nigerians are complaining because of the result of just one match, their anger is a transgression from the super eagles not making it to the world cup. The super Falcons winning streak against south Africa may have ended, there is a chance we will meet South Africa again in the competition and both teams will have a chance to put the matter of who's the better team to rest.

I really apologize if I am spamming this thread but since I don't see another thread to talk about African games so I preferred to post this here:
Cup cosafa:
Angola 3 - 1 comoros
Honestly I'm very surprised that there were 4 goals in this game, normally the games between the African teams have few goals that it's even easy to predict, but in this game I was surprised by this result, and see that I watched the game from the beginning hoping they wouldn't have many goals
I recommend starting another topic about that competition and WAFCON too or at least writing in the first line of the post here:Cup cosafa:

- [WAFCON] or [COSAFA]...etc
- then write the text in the second line.
Like that it will be less confusing and more clear for the readers. Every time I take a look here I have to figure out what are we talking about in each post.
I understand, but creating a topic about cosafa I think would not be viable since this is a very short competition, it is more practical to discuss everything related to African soccer here in this thread. I say this because in Africa soccer doesn't have much attraction in this forum so creating several threads about each competition in Africa will have several dead threads or with little discussion

Super Falcons have been dominant side, the loss to South Africa is a reminder that they are not invincible and things cannot always go their way. The Super Falcons will bounce back, they have learnt the strengths of the Banyana Banyana I don't think they will be able to beat us again. We need a coach that will be able to put in the work to bring the best out of the players. There is no structure in the Nigeria football, there is no support system for the players. Amaju Pinnick is busy contending for a third term in office.

Nigeria and South Africa they matches ended with 1:2. Nigeria play football team he's not playing well because of lack of concentration Force particle team in the history South Africa have not defeated Nigeria in any football team all football competition but today South Africa has defeated Nigeria because of lack of experiencing and the lack of mobilisation and encouragement so all these is from the coach and the government who refused to sponsor the football of Nigerian group they played very well but South Africa defeated that is if there is of good strategies in football

I believe that I have already said it that the new coach will take some time, and we should not expect much from him immediately as preparing an international team is always a difficult job. Lastly I feel that he’ll be doing his homework on the above mentioned issues, and we’ll have to give him few more games to prove himself because I feel that it’s unfair to judge him so soon in his tenure.

I was a bit confused about the replies above before understanding that you were talking about Africa Women Cup of Nations. I was wondering in what competition Nigeria faced South Africa!
Not sure if this is the best topic to discuss this competition, it is confusing. It would be better to start another topic about that imo.
I share your confusion but, I think the best approach towards this is to edit the thread title as both mens and womens competitions aren't played simultaneously.Not sure if this is the best topic to discuss this competition, it is confusing. It would be better to start another topic about that imo.
Speaking of which, it was disappointing for Nigerias super eaglet to have lost to the South African team in there first legbof the competition. They didn't have it together despite preparations mained as the South African teams proved there better and managed to put the ball in the goal.
Tunisia on the other hand we're such a force. They managed to commit Togo and gave them a red card, capitalised on it and scored 2 more goals to seal the match but a 4:1 win.
While Chebbak literally won the Morocco game for her team against B.Faco. Her both free kicks where so on goal and she rightly managed to net one.
I viewed the Moroco 1:0 B. Faso match

African Women Nations Cup Championship League of 2022. In the month of July 4, 2022. Nigeria played with South Africa and South Africa scored Nigeria with 2:1
NGA VS RSA
1 - 2
although Nigeria possessed ball more than South Africa but the Nigerian defense was not strong enough to attacked the opponent. Nigeria had more short than even their opponent. All the same the day was meant for South Africa to win. Football is also a game of luck. Even as that, the players lacked skills to score her opponent and issu will go to the management team. Mostly the selection of players for the first half and the second half. Those who are good would have played the first half then change some of them in the second half of the game to create equilibrium. But they brought the good ones at the second half of the game which affected the whole setting.

I won't entirely put the blame on the Super Eagles players as the management also have a big role to play in the team. If you have the players and the coach is not good enough you will find it so difficult getting results, you can also get a good manager and still get issues from the top level that will also affect the team so it would be unfair to put all the blame on the players when the top level management also have important roles to play to boost the teams performance.
The players are not even to be blame if you think about it , the reason for poor performance is not the fault of the players but from the management, things are not done well by the management the way it is supposed to be done that is why it is really affecting the performance of the players. I blame the management for everything. July 04, 2022, 04:56:02 PM

South Africa have once again beat the Super Falcons 2-1 in the WAFCON tournament. Before the game most people felt South Africa are ahead of the Super Falcons. We have won the tournament nine times, the team is heading for their tenth championship. South Africa beat the Super Falcons with a goal difference, it’s a respectable scoreline. Bayana Bayana are our longtime rivals, the match wasn’t expected to be easy. This loss can be blamed on the coach, the super falcons conceded goals in quick succession. Super Eagles or Super Falcons, both of our national teams are performing poorly.
Its only the first round of the group stage, we have seen teams lose the first game and end up winning the trophy so maybe this will be a wake up call for the super eagles, maybe the coach is to blame but it will be better to let critisism until the end of the competition.

The situation with the Super Eagles has entirely nothing to do with luck. A lot of issues have to be fixed, we have more big players in the squad now than ever and we still find it very difficult to qualify even for the group stages playing against other African countries. How lucky do we think we can be against European countries. There has to be constructive change, we need connection and a positive spirit in the team.
Totally agree with you. I do not mean to sound like a pessimist here but I really do not see a change coming anytime this year. John Maxwell said, "Everything rises and falls on leadership". I couldn't agree more. What we see playing out in the Super Eagles is a leadership issue. And I mean from the leadership of the nation and not just the NFF. Hopefully, see a change in the coming year.I remember when one of the former coaches Genot Rohr complained that he is not responsible for making a selection of the players in the team during a major competition and that alone proved that there are people responsible for the downfall of the national team. I will suggest we push the blame and failure to the NFF and the board of directors, they need to resign from their position or stop their corrupt practices that's when we will see a good change in the Super Eagles team.

Quote from: Masplanc
The Super Eagles are not just lacking luck but they are lacking so many things that are bringing set back to them. Football is not all about luck sometimes, their are some certain things that are necessary for a team to possess. Super eagles needs to work very hard to be what they used to be like before.
I won't say luck because they didn't play so well that you should expect luck to play in their favour, I'm assuming you're taking about the games that lead to the world cup that's the world cup qualifiers. That was the last time I saw the Super Eagles playing badly, after then their performances so far has been very decent especially under this new coach. They're currently topping their group with the best goal difference in the whole tournament and not just their group.
They're are steadily improving and the transfer window has been favoring the Super Eagles player as they're getting good club interest. And with good playing time at club level will result to better exposure, it'll give the players more experience that they can use to dominate the domestic tournaments in Africa. We just have to give this guys times.

Confederation of Africa football (CAF) postpone 2023 AFCON to 2024 due to world cup that will be coming by November- December this year. It would have been better if the AFCON tournament should be taking place once in every four years to make good plans about it than every two years with no good plans. It is a good plan for CAF to postpone the AFCON to 2024.
