Nigeria best country in the world – Oshoala

Super Falcons forward, Asisat Oshoala, has said Nigeria is “the best country in the world,” stressing that she always wants to give her best whenever she is in the national team jersey.

Recall that Oshoala came off the bench to score Nigeria’s third goal and in the process made history as the first African player to score at three different editions of the tournament.

She scored her first World Cup goal in Nigeria’s 3-3 draw with Sweden in 2015, and her second in the 2-0 victory over South Korea at the 2019 World Cup in France.

Reacting to the feat, the Barcelona Femení said passion is her driving force.
