It's so very unfortunate that the world female soccer fiesta would come up immediately after the conclusion of the World U-17 tournament where Nigeria won the trophy for the third term to equal the records of Brazil.
The pity of the situation is that the officials of the \Nigeria Football Association do not seem to have anytime for the Falcons as they fight it out in China because they are still basking in the glory of the cup won by the Little boys .
I've been saying this over the years that the NFA does not have time for bringing up anybody as long as they can just capitalise on your success they are satisfied.
If you fail... so sorry. You're on your own, for sure.
Now the Falcons are totally neglected .
Nobody seems to be interested in them again, and this shows in the preparation for the tournament itself as well as the way they players are 'taken care of' in China.
Suddenly, we've forgotten that these are the same ladies that won the African cup for us in recent time.
Success, they say, as many parents...and relations too.
Now, we don't worry ourselves about matters relating to the Falcons.
The Eaglets are the REAL THING now.
Not eve the Eagles are catered for any more.
NFA said there was no allowance for them because the NFA purse is low in cash.
Let's rethink our ways about the matter in which we handle issues of this nature.No team should be so pampered to the detriment of others that the other teams would be let to fail for lack of adequate care.
