Eagles defender Godfrey Oboabona and some players of the senior
national team, are upbeat that Nigeria will qualify for Brazil 2014
World Cup. He spoke after Nigeria defeated Malawi 2-0 on Saturday.
Oboabona, who featured through in
Saturday’s match, also said that the defeat of Malawi in Calabar was
what the team had always wanted to accomplish.
He said, “It is a thing of joy; we are
happy. It is what we have been praying for – to beat Malawi and top our
group and be on our way to qualifying for Brazil 2014 World Cup. We are
getting there.
“We thank God that everything worked out
well for us. It is not over yet. We still have some qualifiers to play.
Our aim is to get to the world cup and make sure we do well and make
Africa proud,” he said.
Eagles striker, Nnamdi Oduamadi, said the win had further emboldened the Eagles for future encounters.
He said, “I am not scared of anybody or
team; we will take them on as they come. We are Africa champions. I am
excited and happy that our team is getting to the next stage of this
competition.
“I feel that my time in the national
team has come. I am now starting games – a regular. But I have to
justify this by doing my best and playing in the first team,” he said.
