Nigeria can cause upset at the World Cup – Plumptre
Ashleigh Plumptre is backing Super Falcons to cause an upset at the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup after getting tough opponents.
It is no more news that Nigeria have been drawn into Group B alongside cost Australia, the Republic of Ireland, and Canada.
But Plumptre who is currently with Super Falcons in Turkey as they prepare for an international friendly against New Zealand is not ruling Nigeria out.
“I think right now we’re just in a really good position just preparing as we are, here in Turkey,” Plumptre told NFF TV.
“Obviously we’ve got our eyes set on the summer but right now we’re trying to just put little details into practice and make sure that come the summer the team is ready to perform.
“Yeah we know we’re obviously against really good competition, we definitely can’t look past that. Pressure is on the likes of Canada and Australia and I know we have some amazing talent in this team, so we’re definitely going to put in some good performances and I think we can cause some couple of upsets.”
The Leicester City defender who was an unused substitute in Nigeria’s 2-1 win against Haiti in their first friendly game will be hoping to get a chance against New Zealand tomorrow.
