What is God's business answering our prayers?


Ursula Holl...married to a woman
Germany reserve goalkeeper Ursula Holl is married to a woman and first-choice shot-stopper Nadine Angerer is openly bisexual. Were they Nigerians, coach Uche Eucharia would have “killed” their talents because they are lesbians. Thanks to FIFA who came out openly and hard criticising the Nigerian colourless and odourless coach for discrimination against the lesbians in her team.
It is sad but true that there were some quality players in the Super falcons whose experiences were so much missed in the team in Germany. They were dropped and some were not called up despite their enormous talents. When asked, the lying coach of Nigeria said stupid things about how and why one of the top attackers expected in her team was not there.
Hear her: “I haven't seen her for quite a while and heard that she’s not been in good form. Also, the World Cup wasn't for her this time around”. Are these not strange responses? Colourless and odourless responses.

Please read the story of a celebrated talent that would have died on ignorance of a coach who lacks understanding.
Ursula Holl (born 26 June 1982) is a German footballer. She plays for FCR 2001 Duisburg and the German national team as a goalkeeper. Holl started her career at TSV Uengershausen, before joining FSV Frankfurt, where she made her Bundesliga debut. She moved to local rivals 1. FFC Frankfurt in 2000, where she played for three season, but only appeared sporadically. However, she celebrated several major titles at the club, including the Treble in the 2002–03 season when Frankfurt won the the Bundesliga, the German Cup and UEFA Women's Cup.
She returned to FSV Frankfurt in 2003 in order to play regular first team football. After two seasons, Holl transferred back to 1. FFC Frankfurt, now as the team's first choice goalkeeper. During her second stint at FFC Frankfurt, she won a second UEFA Women's Cup in the 2005–06 season, as well as another league title and the 2007 German Cup. From 2007 to 2009, Holl played for SC 07 Bad Neuenahr, before joining Bundesliga side FCR 2001 Duisburg. At Duisburg she was the Bundesliga runner-up in the 2009–10 season and won the 2010 German Cup, her fourth national cup title in total.

International

At junior level, Holl won the UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship with the German team in 2000 and 2001. She was the first choice goalkeeper at both tournaments. Holl was Germany's third goalkeeper at the 2005 European Championship, winning her first international title without a single cap at senior level. She made her debut for the German national team almost two years later in March 2007 at the Algarve Cup against France. That year she also won the 2007 FIFA Women's World Cup with Germany, again as the team's third choice goalkeeper.
After the retirement of Silke Rottenberg, Holl has been Germany's first reserve goalkeeper to Nadine Angerer at the 2008 Summer Olympics, claiming bronze, and the 2009 European Championship, where Germany won its seventh title. She has not played in any match at these tournaments. Holl has been called-up for the German 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup squad.
On 18 June 2010, Holl has married her partner Carina in Cologne, Germany. They live together in a same-sex union as recognised under German law.


FACT YOU CAN’T BELIEVE IS TRUE:
Do you know that the current German coach Slyvia Neid played against Nigeria as a player at the first FIFA Women's World Cup in China in 1991? She even scored in that match, their very first goal. Do you also know Uche Eucharia played in that same match also. 20 years later, do a compare and contrast and see where both of them are today. Neid has won a world cup and has been part of the German women's futbol structure for many years and while Eucharia, hard to point on what she has learnt from that period till date. What a local continental champion? They beat us 4-0 in that game 20yrs ago.
