“Expectations are high on both sides as the two teams want to win. The game is a must-win for us, there’s no negotiation on that.
“We have done our part as coaches, it is now left for the players to believe they can and must win,” said Okon to NFF official website, www.thenff.com.
Oshoala affirmed the tie is a must-win game adding that she is happy to be playing against big names in the US team.
“It’s a must-win game for us against the United States of America. That is why we took a walk to shake it off to see new things, new stuff and everyone is ready now.
