“We can compete with any team depending on the desire in the players.”

“There can be a lot of improvement. The players are still young. In the next two years, they will be a wonderful team.”

In a post match interview, Yobo, who earned his 100th cap, said, “it’s not about 100 caps or the the landmark. It was our desire to qualify for the quarterfinals of this tournament. Unfortunately, it was not our day.
“I thought we played more today but it wasn’t just possible/ It was not our day.”
