Oparanozie, who quit international football, after the Super Falcons exit from the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup has offered her former teammates tips on how they can overcome the South Americans.
“What helps win games is mentality, irrespective of preparation or the opponent or any other negative factor,” Oparanozie told Lagos Talks.
“If everyone of them can get into the party, get into every game with their A-game, concentrate and focus till the last whistle, I feel we can get something from it.”
The encounter is slated for the Matmut Atlantique Stadium, Bordeaux.
It will kick-off at 6pm Nigeria time.

“Oparanozie Offers Super Falcons Winning Tips”
Now this offers more value and is more compelling to read than normal, common sense, and repetitive “exclusives’ by Dosu, Udeze, Shorunmu etc like:
– Super Falcons Must Take Their Goal Scoring Chances Against (Maybe they didn’t plan to)
– Super Eagles Must Not Underrate Their Opponents (The king of cliche sports headlines)
Better to give specific tips (3 – 4 like Desire Oparanozie has done) based on practical experience, rather than some generalistic “sweet nothings” about taking their chances or not underrating opponents.
Spain vs Japan, 1-1 at half time.. Hopefully super falcons can get out of this group, best third place in worst case scenario.
