Republic of Ireland forward, Marrisa Sheva has issued a warning to the Super Falcons of Nigeria ahead of their Group B clash at the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup.
The Girls in Green will take on the Super Falcons in their last group game at the Lang Park, Brisbane on Monday.
Vera Pauw’s side lost their opening two games against Australia and Canada and are already from the competition.
Sheva however insisted that the Super Falcons should expect a difficult test.
“You will never see us give up,” Sheva told BBC.
“I am so proud of this team for that reason. We will go into that next game in Brisbane and we will fight like hell.
“We will try to come back with a result for Ireland, the fans who came out here to watch us and to show just how good this team is. READ ALSO:

“You saw it at times. We’re so close to being one of the best teams in the world, everyone can see that.
*With this being our first tournament, the fact we are so disappointed that we held Canada to a 2-1 and it could have been a very different result, I think you see that.
“We’ll be back but we definitely have business to finish with Nigeria.”
