“ The Super Falcons are more skillful and fitter that the Atlas Lioness besides being physically and mentally fitter” he posited.
Barrister Mohammed said further that the Super Falcons have to be wary by preventing of the kind of soft penalty awarded against them during the semi finals clash against the South Africans.
“ The penalty against the Super Falcons in favor of the South Africans was very soft because it was just a gentle push which ought not to be a penalty but the referee awarded it “ he observed .
“The Moroccans have just three good players compared to the Super Falcons which have good players in every department of the game apart from having been on a world stage where they have acquired so much experience that will see them navigate the kind of opposition that the North Africans can bring against them” he submitted.
