Captain Rasheedat Ajibade is in a buoyant mood ahead of the Super Falcons crunch Group C clash against Japan, DAILY POST reports.
The Super Falcons will be up against the Nadeshiko at the Stade de la Beaujoire, Nantes, on Wednesday.
Randy Waldrum’s side occupy the bottom spot in Group C with two defeats from two games.
Randy Waldrum’s side must beat the Asian champions to have any hope of progressing to the quarterfinals, either via goal difference in the second or third spot.
