The comment was in reference to the Filipinas' match against Switzerland last Friday.
"You know what, sometimes even against Switzerland, it felt like it was not the case because we still lost that game," Sawicki said to GMA Integrated News after laughing the comment off.
"But like I said, like all of my teammates, I'm gonna give everything I can whether it's on the ball or off the ball."
With their first three points listed already after defeating home team New Zealand, Sawicki herself said she is very proud to wear the Philippine colors.
"Just really overwhelmed with all the support we've had in New Zealand so far. it's been truly amazing and we appreciate it so much," she said.
The Philippines will fight to advance to the knockout stage of the World Cup when they play Norway on Sunday.
