Nigeria star Ifeoma Onumonu opened up on the shocking lack of resource her team has after their Women's World Cup came to an end in defeat to England.

The Super Falcons were the better team in their last 16 clash with the Lionesses on Monday, hitting the bar twice through Ashleigh Plumptre and Uchenna Kanu, but would eventually lose in a brutal penalty shootout. It brought to an end a World Cup campaign that has been marred by off-pitch issues for Nigeria, with the players reportedly nearly boycotting their opener due to feud with the federation surrounding bonuses and expenses.

Speaking to reporters after Monday's game, Onumonu, who plays her football in the U.S. with Gotham, opened up on the lack of resources Nigeria have, especially in comparison to England. "Yes I’ve seen what England have access to," she said. "In Nigeria we don’t have access to much. Our training fields aren’t great. Where we sleep isn’t great. Sometimes we share beds. It’s not good. It’s not good enough.
