Ordega, who is expected to make the Super Falcons starting line-up against the Americans in the early hours of Tuesday, said: “It’s not easy. Everyone was like, ‘Oh, Nigeria is in the Group of Death.’ But for me, it’s not a group of death; it’s a group of survival.”

Nigeria came back twice to earn a 3-3 draw with Sweden in the other Group D match. Despite outplaying the Swedes for large portions of the match, the Super Falcons were down by two goals in the first half, with Nigerian striker, Desire Oparanozie, conceding an own goal and Nilla Fischer finding the back of the net – with both goals coming from corner kicks
