Super Falcons assistant coach Terry Eguaoje admitted the team’s Round of 16 clash against European champions England will be tough.
England are the bookies’ runaway favourites to win the game considering their pedigree and performance in Australia and New Zealand.

Sarina Wiegman’s side cruised through the group stage with three wins from three.
The Three Lionesses also scored eight goals and conceded only one.
Eguaoje stated that they have to fashion out a strategy that will give them victory.
“We don’t underestimate those ladies. They are very, very good,”Eguaoje told ESPN.
“It will be a question of us identifying and exploiting their weaknesses, while also working to limit our own weaknesses and taking advantage of our strengths.

“We know they have some dangerous players, and we will account for them in our strategy. But they know we also have dangerous players too, so they will also have to be careful how they come at us.”
Monday’s encounter will be played at the Lang Park, Brisbane. It will kick-off at 8.30am Nigerian time.

PARTICULARLY that LAUREN JAMES.
It will take 3 PLAYERS from the SF to EQUAL/MATCH her TALENT
SF should be WARY of HER
I beg leave story. Trees plenty for bush na him make monkey get skills. Make she come dey dribble her own fellow Africans make we see. All those Yakubu Aiyegbeni bullies for premiership, him dey see am do for Africa abi Wilfred Zaha dey shine for Ivory Coast? No worry we go see wether she go fit dribble the whole field.
Hahaha. I gbadun your point jare. Wilfred Zaha for Afcon nah always Ajegunle version. Lion for EPL, meow cat for Afcon and WCQs. James go sabi how far. Nah physical and athletic Africans she go play, no be Chinese girls. If only we can add speed and possession to our game, fight for every ball without fouls, and always first to win the second balls, then England is a done deal.
This one sweet me aswear lol I am sure she knows all of this
@sean the gal is not only good in dribbling but also possess accurate long range passes.
Our mildfilders needs to up their game.
If there is no red card and we are not playing against the REFEREE, then we can beat them.
Hope some crazy sportbetz have not infiltrated the Falcons team and paid some Super Falcons players
We will definitely play against the referee, we just have to overwhelm them with the fifa bias referees and one sided VAR officials.
