Lets share our thoughts  here as a build up to the tournament.

If you ask me ,I think we always tend to underestimate ourselves, Nigeria has not missed the semi-finals for a long time,our only problem is converting all our huge potential into winning the championship.

Jairzinho:

We have the right resources & history is on our side

im not just saying this for the fun of it,
Looking at past records,we have not taken our chances very well

Lets analyse:

Total appearances in SEMIFINAL- EGY &NIG hold the record = 12 times
Both countries are also close with FINAL appearances = 6 times each(Ghana has appeared in 7 finals)

However loking at winnig ratios(i.e CUP WINS /FINAL APPEARANCES), Nigeria has a very abysmall record

EGY- 5/6 = 83%
GHA-4/7=  57%
CAM-4/5=  80%
CON-2/3(also Zaire)=67%
NIG-2/6 = 33%

This is really bad !
