Unfortunately, Nigeria Falcon lost the game against France, that is football. The problem with the Falcon is inability to take chances when they are created, while France take one of the few chances created and that make the difference, if not it was a balance game. Falcon now has to fight like a wounded Lion against the Germany and Canada... We hope to survive.
