Giwa promised.  Meanwhile, the Acting General Secretary of the Federation, Dr Emmanuel Ikpeme has also charged the Falconets to make a name for themselves in France and open a new Vista in their career.  " We defeated Spain in 2016 in Papua New Guinea 2-1 and we can also do it again, and hope the girls will not underrate the Spaniards," Ikpeme stated.  Ikpeme further noted:" Though the girls may not have looked enterprising in the group games like we expect, but they can still turn things around and make the country proud".  The Falconets lost their opening group game to Germany 0-1,defeated Haiti 1-0,and drew 1-1 to finish with four points, the lowest point haul in the quarter final.  Spain on the other hand defeated Paraguay 4-1 and Japan 1-0 before drawing 2-2 with USA.
