“Personally, I’m calm. We know that Nigeria are a great team, but we have what it takes to accomplish our mission” she told FIFA.com.
“Our training sessions have been going well and the belief is there. Now it’s up to us to execute what we’ve worked on during our preparations.”
The Racing Power FC of Portugal shot stopper also reflected on the rivalry between Cameroon and Nigeria.
“Firstly, it’s because our two countries share a border, so we’re kind of competing for regional supremacy,” added Bihina.
“Then, there’s the fact that our respective countries produce great players, which only stokes the rivalry further. From a very young age, we’re fed tales of a rivalry that’s been forged out of mutual respect.”

CompleteSports afa na? No blogging for our Super Falcons game? Shame
The referee had sympathy for the Cameroonian ladies to the extent that he surddenly called for a stop of game without any offender and called off a goal ..she didn’t protect the players on the field Even with hard tackles from the home team . .the second half had falcon on the with 60% .
Question is who spoke to the referee before the game . I guess the Cameroonian did .hence she was willing dey could win .
The referee was so biased. Nigeria played against twelve on the field as the referee took side and officiating in favor of Cameroon.
The referee cancelled a pure goal that Nigeria scored.
Shame on the referee.
Well done girls.
Up Nigeria.
