BREAKING: England beat Nigeria on penalties to progress to FIFA Women’s World Cup Quarter Finals
Nigeria Super Falcons put up a thrilling performance against a star-studded England female team in the ongoing FIFA Women’s World Cup hosted by Australia and New Zealand.

England’s star player, Lauren James, got a red card after stamping on Michelle Alozie’s back in a senseless act of malice.

The game proceeded to penalty shootout and the Nigerian players couldn’t convert their chances as they lost 4-2.
