BRISBANE, Aug 7 (Reuters) - England dumped Nigeria out of the Women's World Cup in a last-16 penalty shootout on Monday with Chloe Kelly scoring the decisive spot-kick, following a 0-0 draw over 120 nerve-jangling minutes. Beth England, Rachel Daly and Alex Greenwood also converted in a 4-2 shootout win for the European champions, who had a player sent off in regulation time. "You dream of playing in a World Cup when you're a kid," Earps said. England are making their sixth World Cup appearance and have their sights set on beating their best finish of third in 2015. The 40th-ranked Super Falcons bow out of their ninth World Cup in the last 16 for the second consecutive time.

"It would be a huge win," Waldrum told reporters on Sunday, a day ahead of Nigeria's last-16 match with the Lionesses. Nigeria are playing in their ninth World Cup, their top finish being a quarter-final appearance in 1999. "I have watched, just like you all have, this World Cup unfold and seen some of the story lines that are out there, with teams that are successful," Waldrum, an American, said. Nigerian striker Desire Oparanozie could make her first World Cup appearance on Monday after picking up an injury in training. Waldrum said Oparanozie's status is undetermined, but "the good thing is she's now available."

☆ World Cup co-hosts New Zealand suffer another setback with Nigeria thrashing
  + stars: | 2023-04-12 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
MELBOURNE, April 12 (Reuters) - Women's World Cup co-hosts New Zealand suffered another blow to their confidence in the leadup to the tournament on Tuesday with a 3-0 defeat to Nigeria in a friendly and the loss of veteran midfielder Betsy Hassett to a suspected broken rib. The defeat in Antalya, Turkey extended the Football Ferns' winless run to 10 matches and heaps further pressure on embattled coach Jitka Klimková. Hassett's injury added salt to 25th-ranked New Zealand's wounds, the midfielder forced from the field after 70 minutes after clashing with Oparanozie. New Zealand, who co-host the Women's World Cup with Australia in July and August, have not won since handing the Philippines a 2-1 defeat in September. They meet Norway, Philippines and Switzerland in Group A at the World Cup.
