Debate

Will Indomitable Lionesses do better at the 2019 Fifa Women’s World Cup than Canada?

Simon Kiven
Local footballer

Yes
I think the squad is ready to challenge other squads at international level and we will definitely see it at the Worrld Cup. I think the reinforcement of the team with new players will added a new spirit into the team coupled with the fact that more than half of the squad was in Canada in 205 so the girls know themselves fully well. I think they will be able to bond well to do better than they did in Canada.
Ayuk Clarisse
Footballer

No
Looking on from 2015, I think the team is ageing and the coach has not added enough young blood in the team to challenege the more established players. When we look at the serious matched that they played while preparing, you realise they are still lacking, especially defensively. The goalkeeper is geing and needs more competition in that position. The players don't look sharp as they were fiver years ago so I won't bet on them making it past the group stages.
