Super Falcons head coach, Randy Waldrum is upbeat his side can get a positive result against Japan.
The West Africans will be up against the Asian champions in their final group game at the Stade de la Beaujoire, Nantes on Wednesday.

Waldrum is optimistic his side can scale through the hurdle.
“The way the matches had gone, we still needed a result against Japan and had the chance of going through, so whether we lose or we draw, we still had the opportunity,” Waldrum declared.
“I think if we beat Japan depending on what happens in Canada’s group since they have got six points.
“I think it’s going to be difficult for third-placed team to come out of that group, so it’s going to come out of the other two groups and right now Japan got the win late against Brazil.
“So, they are on three points and Brazil are on three points, so if we can get the result against Japan, we we’ll be on three (points), so there’s a possibility that we can still go through as third-place team in that group.”
