Ireland promise to dash Super Falcons’ World Cup dreams
The ball is in Ireland women’s hands to dash any World Cup dream Nigeria’s Super Falcons have, however, the Falcons still have a say over fate.
Republic of Ireland may be going into the fixture vs. the Super Falcons as underdogs, but forward Marissa Sheya thinks there stands a chance to get one over the Nigerian national team.
The Ireland forward warns the Super Falcons to be ready for a full on battle.
Despite being eliminated from the Women’s World Cup after losing to Australia and Canada in the first two games, the Vera Pauw side vows to go out of the competition on a high against the Falcons team.
The Republic of Ireland team who sees the Women’s World Cup as their maiden appearance in the competition will be aiming to play for pride when they take on the Nigerian side in their last group game at the Lang Park, Brisbane on Monday morning.
“You will never see us give up,” Sheva, who plays for NWSL side, Washington Spirit said in an interview with BBC.
“I am so proud of this team for that reason. We will go into that next game in Brisbane and we will fight like hell.”
