Nigeria made history for africa and the world in 1994. They were ranked 5th in the fifa world rankings.


Cote d'voire is presently a great team, making waves in africa and the world and ranking 15th in the fifa world rankings.

Most of you will agree with me that this present Ivorian team is a superb one. . .with recent great results.

For the soccer analysts and fans, allowing for various factors that could be considered. . .

In terms of strenght and achievements would you feel that the IVORIAN team in 2013 is RELATIVELY stronger than, equal to or still lesser in QUALITY than the NIGERIAN team of 1994 era?

Inother words. . .does Ivory coast mean to 2013 african football exactly what Nigeria meant to the 1994 days of african football?.

Feel free to make your comparisons here.
