Let’s pick ourselves up and keep pushing forward. We’re stronger together and I believe in each of you. Let’s keep our heads up and press on for greatness. @NGSuper_Falcons”.
The task before the Super Falcons
The Super Falcons fired blanks in two straight 1-0 losses to Brazil and Spain respectively, this makes it a must win for Super Falcons against Japan.
They must do better than the 1-0 victory recorded over the Japanese 20 years at the Athens 2004 Olympics for them to stand a chance of qualifying into that next quarter finals, just like they did in 2004.
The crunchy match is slated for this 4 pm in Marseile tonight.
