Dear Randy Waldrum
As the World Cup approach in far away in Australia and New Zealand the Nigerian fans expect
nothing but a good outing from the Super Falcons of Nigeria ,from being the giant of Africa having won the African title on eleven occasion and being the only African nations to have qualified for every world cup since its inception in 1991, the $uper falcons as they are fondly called have qualified for both the quarter- finals of the world cup and the Olympic tournaments .
Presently placed 38 in current world ranking the Super falcons of Nigeria have been placed in a very tough group consisting of Canada and Australia and the Republic of Ireland ( who are debutants ) ,the World Cup start in July 20th and end August 20th, the team seems to be picking up momentum
as the World Cup approaches having won their last three friendly matches against New Zealand , Haiti and Costa Rica ,that is after being criticized by fans for poor outing prior to the last three wins , the super falcons have lost their supremacy in Africa
after losing their African title in Morocco and eventually placing fourth after losing the third place match to Zambia by a goal to nil ,then there was Colombia, Mexico matches friendly matches which they lost as well, Randy Waldrum was on the curb of losing his job ,no thanks to the last camp which he did not only record double wins but impressive wins as well .
As the World Cup draws near Randy seems to be settling down on his preferred first starting eleven ( 11 ) ,the last three friendly matches has seen some resemblance of Randy's first eleven .
With Nnadozie expected to start in goal, Alozie and young Imuran expected to start as wing backs , In the middle of the defence is young Demehin experience Onome Ebi ,Ohale and Ashley Plumptre with Onome Ebi likely to start from the bench , Randy will have to pick from two players from the trio of Ohale , Demehin and Plumptre.
Baring any injury the trio of Christy , Payne and Onyi will be the midfield trio with Otu , Ayinde and Ngozi as midfield backup , the attack seems tight as Ordega or Monday Gift might miss the world cup , in Randy's 433 system Oshoala , Rasheedat and Okonkwo being the preferred trio upfront with Vivian , Gift , Ordega , Kanu , Ify and MaCleans as other attackers , with a max of 6 attackers to be picked Ify ,Kanu and either Gift or veteran Ordega will be dropped..
As the world cup approaches Randy Waldrum will be wise to pick an alternative 352 system to neutralize the prowess of Australia and Olympic champion Canada who are placed very high on the Fifa ranking , the Super Eagles have the personal to play 352 system , with Nnadozie in goal Ohale ,Demehin and Plumptre in central defence , Alozie ,Christy, Payne , Onyi and Imuran in midfield snd Oshoala and Desire Oparanzie in double pivot attack ..
We the fans expect nothing but a better outing in Australia
