Friendly: Waldrum Impressed With Super Falcons’ Performance Against Canada

The Falcons lost 2-0 to the Canadians in the early hours of Saturday in Vancouver, thanks to second half goals from Jessie Flemming and Vanessa Gilles.

It is the fourth meeting between both teams with the Canadians recording a second ever win against the Falcons.

And speaking in his post-match press conference, Waldrum noted the ability of his players to compete with any team while claiming there is still room for improvement.

“I think we’ve prepared them for the environment the good thing is we came to the US last June and played in the summer tournament there.

“Someone like Onome she’s played at five World Cups, so she’s got the experience.

“So we try to settle them down and stick to the game plan we have knowing they (Canada) were going to come out.

“I think we had a really good start to the game, we had a really composed start to the game.

“And I think that carried us at least through the first half, until we lost a bit of that composure in the second half.”

On the importance of the game for his team, Waldrum said:“I think this will make us better. We had to play some young players as well. You mentioned Asisat, we were also missing the likes of Vivian, Ohale at the back, so we can in some ways justify that wasn’t a full squad.

“For me the girls feel right now that they can play with anyone in the world but we’re also smart enough to recognize that there’s some areas we need to improve in before we’re going to be in that elite category.”

The two teams will meet in the second of the two legged friendly on Tuesday, 12th April in Victoria.
