Super Falcons have shown their class and clearly the Cameroon ladies are not in the top league that the Falcons belong!
I don’t place much regard to results of friendlies because Coaches should use these to try fringe and new players and experiment more and that is why I never gave much credence to Cameroon’s 1-0 win last Saturday, and moreso Cameroon was playing at Home, and have all the ” home advantages.”
When the chips are down, Cameroon lionesses are not a match to Nigerian Super Falcons at any competitive level. I have no fear about the Madugu ladies!
