“Good, good session, a good day we did load them a little bit,” Waldrum said
“The players were into it, it was intense and then we got a chance to work on some of the tactics so very very pleased with training today.
“Obviously the weather is going to be a little bit of a factor, it’s colder there than it is her, it’s winter in Australia, so we’re just going to have to adapt to it.
“It’s a 12:30 kick off midday game, so that should help a little bit with the weather. I think the thing is you get to this point u just have to play in the elements whatever they are you’re at the World Cup.
“But I think the players are prepared, I think they understand the game plan, now we just have to make sure we execute it.”
The Super Falcons are in Group B alongside hosts Australia, Republic of Ireland and Canada.
They are the only African team to take part in all the FIFA Women’s World Cup s since it’s inaugural edition in China 1991.
