Despite being out of the competition, the Republic of Ireland forward Marrisa Sheve has said they would fight Nigeria in the final group game.
The debutant lost their first games to Australia and Canada, no matter the outcome of the game against Nigeria’s Super Falcons, the Irish can’t make it to the next round.
“You will never see us give up.
“I am so proud of this team for that reason. We will go into that next game in Brisbane and we will fight like hell.
“We will try to come back with a result for Ireland, the fans who came out here to watch us and to show just how good this team is.
“You saw it at times. We’re so close to being one of the best teams in the world, everyone can see that.
“With this being our first tournament, the fact we are so disappointed that we held Canada to a 2-1 and it could have been a very different result, I think you see that.
“We’ll be back but we definitely have a business to finish with Nigeria”, she told BBC
Nigeria will face Ireland at the Brisbane Stadium by 11 am on Monday.
