Eagles Will Do Well in Brazil- President Jonathan.
President Goodluck Jonathan has tipped the Super Eagles for success in next summer’s FIFA World Cup in Brazil.Jonathan was giving his take on the Group F pairing of the African champions alongside Argentina, Iran and Bosnia-Herzegovina.
“In winning the World cup, we are quite hopeful that Nigeria will do very well.
“We have won the Olympic gold in soccer before, we have won under-17 thrice and we have been doing quite well in the U-22.
“So, I believe and the world knows that Nigeria is a football nation even though we have not had the opportunity or luck of winning the World Cup; indeed no African country has won the World Cup,” said Mr. President.
Jonathan, however, expects the Coach Stephen Keshi-tutored lads to progress beyond the preliminary round.
“Within the zone that Nigeria will play, Argentina is a strong soccer nation but, Nigeria is also strong and I believe we will do well,” he added.
