  • Utter shambles. The Super Falcons had huge opportunity to defeat England but they messed up big time. You don’t joke with a team like England. The English women team came to the match with their usual ‘Superiority mentality’. Even when they were down to 10 players they still managed to outmatched the Super Falcons. Our No.14 Demehin, No.12 Kanu and No.9 Desire Oparanozie were just useless. Asisat Oshoala didn’t make any impact either. I knew we can’t match the Lionesses in Penalty spot kicks. In the end, the Lionesses’s psychological tactics worked on the Super Falcons and they fell like birds without wings. What a wasted opportunity to show the West, esp. Europeans, that we’re better
