England forward Lauren James was sensational against China and is now prepared for the super falcons.
England's Lionesses demolished China 6-1 to finish top of Group D and move into the last-16 of the FIFA Women's World Cup.
That victory set up a tasty clash against Nigeria's Super Falcons on Monday, August 7 in Brisbane, and England's star against China, Lauren James is ready for the test.
Lauren James is ready for Nigeria
James speaking after the victory over China, predicted a very difficult encounter against the Super Falcons, led by Asisat Oshoala.
The Chelsea star told ITV, “Nigeria is going to be very tough, to be fair every team has been tough, even watching the other games.
“Teams are catching up with each other and I know that will be another very difficult game.”
Sarina Wiegman’s side will hope to carry over the momentum from the win against China but must be aware of Nigeria's giant-killing capabilities, after their win against Australia.
