Nigeria Coach Edwin Okon Rues Missed Chances
Super Falcons coach Edwin Okon has opined that his side’s missed opportunities in Wednesday morning’s Group D clash at the Women’s World Cup cost Nigeria a spot in the round of 16.<br /><br />From one of USA’s few opportunities, veteran striker Abby Wambach netted the match winner just before half time off a corner kick by Megan Rapinoe.<br /><br />“It was a great experience for us here in Canada. We weren’t focused enough in a few situations today,” Edwin Okon stated in his post match comments published by the official website of Fifa, fifa.com.<br /><br />“I wasn’t surprised to see USA make substitutions that were more defensive after our sending off as they knew they were playing a good team. <br /><br />“You always have a 50-50 chance in every game. Today USA made the most of one of their chances and we didn’t, even though we had several.” <br /><br />The African champions have advanced to the knockout rounds only once in seven editions of the showpiece event in the Women’s football calender.<br /><br />Photo Credit : fifa.com<br />
