am at a loss as to how many coaches we are going to Athens with.Is coach Ismaila Mabo the only coach with the falcons after the assistant coach was dropped?
can someone please explain to the world why the team's welfare officer and a former captain of the team,Prisca Emeafu was dropped?

Mabo and coach Dan made the cut. Well, the Greeks sais they could only take care of 18 players and three officials. Its too bad Prisca had to go

DON'T BLAME THEM. MAY BE THAT WAS THE DECISION THEY GAVE THEM AND THEY MUST ABIDE BY IT. I BELIEVE IN THOSE GURLS AND THEY WILL MAKE THE COUNTRY'S PROUD OVER THERE. THE ONLY WONDER I HAVE IS THAT WHY IS PATIENCE AVRE DROPPED? THAT LADY WAS AN EXPERIENCE AND USEFUL PLAYER ON THE FIELD BESIDES DROPPING FLORENCE OMAGBEMI FOR AN INJURY BUT I DON'T KNOW WHY THAT TACTICIAN WAS DROPPED. I JUST HEARD THAT SHE WAS AMONG THE FALCON TEAM B WHO ARE FEATURING FOR THE AFRICAN WOMEN CHAMPIONSHIP. BUT IF THAT IS THE WAY IT IS THERE IN NO PROBLEM. MY PRAYER IS THAT THEY WILL ACHIEVE WHAT THEY WANT TO ACHIEVE IN THIS YEAR AS THEY ARE USED TO DO IN AFRICA, THEY WILL DO IT TO IN THE WORLD.
