Attention, Super Eagles

Published by

The senior national football team, the Super Eagles, are three-time African Champions. They won the 1980 Nations Cup hosted by Nigeria, and were also winners in Tunisia 94.

Their recent title was won in South Africa in 2013. The Eagles defeated Burkina Faso in the final.

They have qualified for six of the last seven FIFA World Cups, missing only the 2006 FIFA World Cup hosted in Germany, and have reached the round of 16 three times.

To say that Nigerians are solidly behind the Super Eagles as they head to Russia 2018 is to state the obvious.

This time around, Nigerians want the Eagles to reach the quarter finals. This is a realistic target and the Eagles must not let us down.

Nigeria is too big a name in global football not to reach the quarter finals of the World Cup.

In fact, it would not be out of place for the Eagles to  claim bronze at the World Cup.
