10 Steps Super Falcons Should Take Now - Before Paris Olympics [How to Survive the Group of Death]

On paper, Nigeria women national team should be the whipping babes of Group C, 2024 Paris Olympics women soccer event. The Super Falcons will be playing against current world champions Spain as well as world cup semi finalists Japan, and then, Brazil. Therefore, the Nigerian team should be in their very best elements and mentally ready to stun the world.

One thing I think the other teams in the group are very aware of is underrating this Nigeria team will be a big mistake. You can't easily forget in a hurry how this West Africa side held England hostage for 120 minutes, how they defeated the highly ranked Australians, co-host of 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup.

I believe the other teams are also scared of Super Falcons and are not sure what they would bring to the competition.

First Game Against Brazil

Nigeria first game against Brazil sets the tone and I believe Nigeria's coaching crew are aware that the game may just be the only soft spot to breakthrough into the competition.

Indeed, if Super Falcons draw or loose the game against Brazil, they would really have to recalibrate to pick up any other point in the group. The first game is so important and a must win, if the Nigerian ladies must survive this group of death.
