South African football legend Portia Modise criticizes Randy Waldrum's Super Falcons, expressing her disappointment with the team's performance during the Parish Olympic qualifications against Bayana Bayana of South Africa.
She believes that the players did not live up to their potential and displayed a poor performance.
Modise stated, "I am still hurt after watching the game. It was the first time I witnessed such a poor Nigerian team since I started playing football. We should have defeated that team; they had nothing to intimidate us."
She further criticized the Nigerian players, highlighting their inability to control the ball and execute proper first touches. Modise emphasized that this was not the Nigerian team she was accustomed to playing against.
While acknowledging the efforts of coach Desiree Ellis, Modise believes that a fresh perspective and a new vision are needed to take the team forward. She emphasized the importance of selecting players based on merit rather than favoritism.
Modise concluded by stating, "Leaving a position does not always imply failure. Sometimes, we need a fresh mind to bring new ideas and take us to greater heights."
The Super Falcons of Nigeria secured their qualification for the Paris Olympics ahead of their South African counterparts with a 1-0 victory in the two-legged affair.
