Nigeria striker Ordega: France are not a threat to our Women's World Cup hopes

Francisca Ordega has backed the Nigeria women's team to silence the French at Roazhon Park on Monday.

The Super Falcons are in contention for a place in the Last 16 but must avoid defeat to the hosts, Les Bleues who already booked their ticket to the next round.

The former Washington Spirit forward, who was part of an 8-0 loss to France last year, believes they have the quality to get the needed result this time.

"I believe in this team because we have a lot of good quality players," Ordega told the media.
