Liverpool Striker Asisat Oshoala Admits Falcons Are In A Tough Group

Liverpool striker Asisat Oshoala has admitted that the Super Falcons are in a tough group at the World Cup but fancies Nigeria&rsquo;s chances of progressing to the knock out stages of the competition.<br /><br />She was 4 years and eighth months old the last time Nigeria managed to qualify for the last eight of the headline football event in Fifa&rsquo;s Women&rsquo;s calender. <br /><br />&ldquo;We are in a tough group, but I think it&rsquo;s going to be a good outing for us,&rdquo; Asisat Oshoala told the official website of Liverpool, liverpoolfc.com.<br /><br />&ldquo;Having some tough teams in the group will really help the girls to prepare well. I don&rsquo;t think there is ever a &lsquo;cheap&rsquo; team in the World Cup. <br /><br />For a team to qualify they have to be a very good side. <br /><br />&ldquo;In 2011 we didn&rsquo;t qualify out of the group so it would be nice to achieve that, but I&rsquo;m not going to say we just want to reach the knockout stages because the aim of every team is to win the trophy.&rdquo;<br /><br />The 20 - year - old was best player and top scorer at the 2014 Fifa Under 20s hosted by Canada.<br />
