his breakfast to watch the Round of 16 clash between Nigeria and England.
He also insisted that the Super Falcons have every reason to
hold their head high.

shootout, but the @NGSuper_Falcons have every reason to hold their heads high.
I still have no regrets about skipping my breakfast for this game. #ENGNGR

tweeted: “Despite the heartbreak of the penalty shootout, I am proud of the
Super Falcons for their incredible journey in the #FIFAWWC. And you,
@NGSuper_Falcons, should be proud of what you have achieved. #ENGNGA.”
