Nigeria Football Federation president, Ibrahim Musa Gusau has come out to say that he is confident the Super Falcons will defeat England in the Women’s World Cup knockout phase. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, the Super Falcons, ranked number 40 in the world, emerged from Group B ahead of better-ranked teams, so there is really nothing for the girls to fear anymore.
Musa added that England are definitely beatable like the Australians, and the girls will prove it.
His words, “The Super Falcons, ranked number 40 in the world, emerged from Group B ahead of better-ranked teams,”
“Though not many believed that we would emerge from the ‘Group of Death’ we at the NFF were confident that the team would progress because of the kind of long-term preparations we gave them.”
“England are beatable like the Australians, but Falcons must take advantage of any opportunity that comes their way on Monday in Brisbane. Against Ireland, the girls were conservative because they needed just a draw to qualify. But against England, the game plan will be different. They will play to win and reach the last eight.”
“On our part, we shall motivate and give the team all the support they need to beat England,”
“The Super Falcons’ journey at the World Cup will not end with the match against England. I spoke to the team handlers and their optimism of victory will, hopefully, rub off on the girls.”
