When he took over the reigns at the University of Pittsburgh women’s soccer program in late 2017, Randy Waldrum showed right away that he’s a straight-shooter. In the first couple of years on the job in Pittsburgh, the veteran coach developed a quick track record of tackling many difficult topics with candor.  Waldrum leaned on […]

The article focuses on the coach, but it has a couple of quotes:

“We have less days than a college preseason to get ready for the World Cup. It blows my mind because we’ve known this since last year that we had qualified. The hard part is, we are supposed to have camp in Nigeria for about 10-12 days, then go directly to Australia to finish up with another 10-15 days. For what ever it is, the Federation canceled the camp.”

In the past week, players said they would consider boycotting the match against Canada if they were not given their payments. The players have not been fully paid in two years.

Disappointing to see the Nigerian federation behave this way.
