Excuses of brutality. Did they play against men?

This 1-1 draw is an early pointer that all is nt well with that Team.

Simple.

I wouldn't go that far, this was their first match under a new coach. The more they play trust and chemistry will grow.

2016 Olympics: Super Falcons will not benefit from E/Guinea fraud

Equatorial Guinea will not compete in the preliminary competition of the Women’s Olympic Football Tournament 2020 following a decision taken by the FIFA Disciplinary Committee.


The Disciplinary Committee held the Equatorial Guinea Football Association liable for the use of forged or falsified documents during several matches of the preliminary competition of the Women’s Olympic Football Tournament 2016 which may also include the third round qualifiers against Nigeria.


More precisely, FIFA found evidence of the use of two passports with different dates of birth for the player Camila Maria do Carmo Nobre de Oliveira. Two birth certificates containing divergent information regarding the player’s parental filiation were also provided.


In addition to the expulsion from the Women’s Olympic Football Tournament 2020, the Equatorial Guinea FA was sanctioned with a fine of CHF 40,000, a reprimand and a warning, on the basis of art. 61 par. 4 of the FIFA Disciplinary Code (FDC). The player was sanctioned with a ten-match suspension, to be served in the next matches of the representative team of Equatorial Guinea for which she would be eligible, as well as a fine of CHF 2,000, a reprimand and a warning, on the basis of art. 61 paras 1 and 2 of the FDC.
The decisions of the Disciplinary Committee were duly notified today.


Further investigations related to the eligibility of several other players are currently ongoing.

The sensible decision FIFA should take, in the interest of its much vaunted fair play, is to call for a 3-team round robin tournament between Congo, Nigeria, and South Africa to take EQ's slot. Equatorial Guinea 'eliminated' Congo and Nigeria in the earlier rounds, before losing to South Africa.

Surely, Congo and Nigeria were victims of EQ's cheating, and should be given another chance to qualify for the Olympics. I'd suggest the 3-team tourney take place in a neutral venue; or be played on a home-and-away basis between May and June.

I will not be surprised if the NFF disciplinary committee fail to lodge an appeal to CAF for Disciplinary sanctions.

You can't just overlook every serious issue in the name of 'Big Brother Africa'

These smaller African nations should start respecting us. Haba abi na Wrestling?

Oparanozie bounces back from Senegal injury scare
[/size]

The Super Falcons striker was left with a gash and stitches on her face after Friday’s game with the Terenga Lionesses in Dakar
Nigeria Women striker Desire Oparanozie is up and about after suffering an eye injury that required stitches against Senegal in Friday’s Africa Women Cup of Nations qualifier in Dakar that ended 1-1.


In a post on her Instagram page, the EA Guingamp forward complained about the incident which went without punishment of the culprit by centre referee, Moroccan Lamyaa Lourarhi.


After the injury was stitched up, Oparanozie was able to go out and posted a picture of herself returning from church with a Bible in hand.


A few more inches and the striker could have lost the use of her eye considering the size of the gash.


She claimed that an unnamed Senegalese player kicked at her with boot studs without getting punished.


The Super Falcons returned to Abuja at the weekend and are in preparation for Tuesday’s return leg against the Lionesses at the Abuja National Stadium at 4pm.


The winner will qualifier for the 2016 Africa Women Cup of Nations in Cameroon.
