congratulations to @D’tigress for showing resilience, temerity and grit to overpower your opponent. I Pray the Super Falcons follow-suit in their tie against the mighty Lioness of England. Bravo!!!
Little by little, this hurriedly assembled team are getting closer to the finish line. It will be a beautiful tale of some sort to see the retain this title under this new lady coach of the team.
Poco a Poco as they say in Italy. We play Rwanda the host at 1800hrs GMT today for a ticket to the final.
Nigeria is really blessed indeed….how many countries can pull this sort of feat off. But for how long more will this approach yield for us.
