Super Falcons striker Desire Oparanozie has vowed that the team were capable of breaking their existing record at the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup, holding this summer in Canada. The 21-year-old amazon said she was looking at a situation where the current squad will break their current best feat at the World Cup and set a new one.

"Looking at the World Cup in Canada, I want to be a part of the team, the team that will break the previous records set by our veterans.

So if we can exceed that and get beyond what they've done I will be fulfilled and happy," she said. The best Falcons reached at the World Cup was a second round. She added that she was nobody without the assistance of her fellow players, who she credits for her scoring success.

"Without the assistance of my other teammates there is barely nothing I could do exactly. So me as an individual, I believe in the team and they also believe in me, we will work together as a team and achieve whatsoever we have set out to achieve," she explained.

Oparanozie, who is also playing in France with Guingamp, praised her performance at the club level. "So far it has been so good for me at the club side, so very commendable. I really have been doing well at the club level so it's been really good for me, I am happy," she said.
