In the first game against South Africa, it was not the Super Falcons that Africa knew that turned up. Defeat made us to talk hard to ourselves.

I think we are getting back to the form Super Falcons are known for as champions. We are not there yet but we are still pushing ourselves to reach our normal level.

I believe our third game will definitely be much better.”The experienced defender said it had never crossed her mind that the Super Falcons would leave the tournament at the group stage.

“I never thought about that. I don’t think that is possible because to me I see us in the semi finals already. I have strong faith in the team that we are going to beat Equatorial Guinea and then we will take the knockout stage one match at a time.

“Nigerians should keep praying for us. They should believe in the Super Falcons because we are here for the trophy and we are here to qualify for the World Cup. I believe that with hard work and with God on our side,we are going to achieve our twin objectives.”
