‘USA don’t scare Falconets’

Nigeria’s Falconets are determined to go all out for victory against the USA in the semi final stage of the ongoing FIFA Women’s World Cup on Tuesday.

The team’s Media Officer, Ejiro Femi-Babafemi said the players have resolved to give their best to reach another final.

“The girls are not afraid of any team. They don’t fear any foes. The girls did not prepare well for the final against Germany in the last edition but this time round they’ve prepared for any big game. This showed in their last game against Mexico. They are ready to face any team,” Femi-Babafemi said.

The Falconets played for 120 minutes to claim a 1-0 victory over Mexico on Thursday but Ejiro revealed that the girls have been attended to by the team’s physiotherapist, stressing that fatigue won’t affect them against USA

“The team psychologists addressed the players and told them that they have all it takes to beat any team. Again, the team physiotherapist attended to them and seriously worked on their fitness to get them ready for Tuesday’s game. They won’t be affected by fatigue.”  

Femi-Babafemi also revealed that the Falconets’ technical crew watched Friday's quarter-final match between the United States and Korea DPR.
