Reigning African Female Footballer of the Year, Cynthia Uwak, has expressed regret over the failure of the Super Falcons to win any of their matches at the Beijing Olympic Games.

She said though the players put in their best, they were some odds against the team.

"It was a bad outing. We lost all our matches, but it was not because our opponents outclassed us. I felt terribly bad that in spite of our efforts, we could not utilize our chances. That was what made the difference in all the matches we played," she said.

Uwak exonerated herself from any blame for the no-goal appearance by the Falcons, saying, it was a collective effort. If we had won, I would not have taken the glory alone. We all did our best. But I think we really need to work harder so that, we would overcome this type of performance at the world level. All the same, it was another experience which would help us in future," she said.

She described as frustrating the experience to stay longer than necessary at the Games village after the crashing of the team from the competition.

"I was frustrated. I spent five days at the camp waiting to return to my base in Finland . The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) told me to wait that they were trying to get a flight for me. I was bored by the whole thing. I needed to go back. I had no business remaining in Beijing; after all we had lost out. It was painful remaining in the camp when I should have gone back to continue with my work in Finland," she said.
