two goals down, against Sweden, but rued the many scoring chances the
team missed to that game.

give thanks to God for giving us the result we got against Sweden
because, nobody
gave us a chance before the match because Sweden is ranked among the
toughest teams in this World Cup. They have always participated in World
Cup and have always done well, and they look at us as lowly rated going
to
play a top team like Sweden, but with the kind of efforts that our girls
put into that match, it was very evident that we have become a force to
reckon with. In our match against Australia today, the girls should go
all out to get the maximum points at stake.''
''They should avoid the
mistakes that led them coming from behind in the match against Sweden. I
am very happy that our girls are not allowing our world rating to
affect them in any way, and that is the spirit I am imploring them to
maintain all through the tournament. I have absolute faith in them at
any point in time. I never lose hope in these girls because they are
committed and they
know what they want and how to go for it at any point in time."
She promised that the NFF would continue to motivate them positively to ensure that they win the trophy at the end of the day.
