However, Andreyna expects the Flamingos to pose a difficult challenge, insisting that discipline and execution will be crucial in determining the outcome of the encounter.<\/p>\n

\u201cI expect a very tough match,\u201d the centre-back told FIFA<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot just because it\u2019s against Nigeria, but because it\u2019s a World Cup semi-final. The team that makes the fewest mistakes and executes their game plan the best will win this one.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe our success so far stems from our collective effort \u2013 especially our mental strength, which has grown throughout the tournament. Day in and day out, we\u2019ve shown a drive to overcome every challenge that comes our way.\u201d<\/p>\n
