”At the same time, the Super Falcons did their best, but not good enough for us as Nigerians. In football, these things happen,” he said.
Udeze continued: ”For the fact that they did their best, let us give them kudos, maybe they will perform better next time.
”It is what it is, the Falcons could not even earn a draw, not to talk about a win, I think, basically, something is wrong.
”It is not just about female football, the U-17, U-20, U-23 and the Super Eagles, all the national teams, are having issues for now.
”I just feel that something is wrong somewhere and I am talking about those in charge of Nigerian football administration.
