Randy says he does not really care about what people are saying about his team and the results of games where he does not have a full squad. Randy spoke to ESPN
“I don’t put a lot of weight by what everybody outside says or the results of some games where we know half of those games we have not had our full team together
We are coaching the players that we have and I am proud of their development and I think the fans will be proud of their performance at the World Cup.”
Randy said other countries are catching up Nigeria because women’s football is growing in Africa and that Nigeria should not expect to win the WAFCON because they are Nigeria
“You are seeing countries like South Africa and Morocco putting a lot of resources into women’s football and we have to be careful as a country not to expect to qualify and win the Cup of Nations just because we are Nigeria.
“Even in the last tournament, you advanced to the final and the championship by two games on penalty kicks. It’s not like it was a dominant performance in 2018.
People talk about the team qualifying with ease for the World Cup in previous years.
“Women’s football was in a different place then. What you are seeing now in the last two World Cup cycles is that the game has grown and developed in Africa like it has in the rest of the world.”
