Any of the unseeded teams can truncate our world cup dreams if we play rubbish in any of the 2 legs. Its all about clean sheets now, especially in the home leg. I am quietly confident regardless of who we get drawn with.

The cartoon stage has ended!

Krasid: Surprisingly, that's true.Nigeria has a very poor record against Cameroon.I wonder if they are extra- motivated anytime they play Nigeria, or we are just afraid of them.

Nigeria also had a poor record ivory coast until the afcon quater finals, so this is a new team, we don't fear nobody.

By the way i think we won camerron the last time we met in tunisia 2004, okocha and utaka scored for nigeria, eto scored for cameroon, it ended 2-1 in favour of naija.

We will win cameroon as long as hayattou no do ojoro for us, we have a better team than them, the only team i am scared of currently in africa is egypt.

But i still believe we can beat egypt, the egypt team is formed from two teams: zamalek and al-ahly and this two teams find it hard to beat one particular south african team: olando pirates, i want to believe nigeria is better that olando pirates.


Up NAIJA...bring any team for us, we are waiting.

manchy7531: What a great coincidence today.In the match played today between Nigeria and Burkina faso. Did you also notice this:

1st goal scored by Brown Ideye 23 mins.

2nd goal scored by Brown Ideye 43 mins.

3rd goal scored by Shola Ameobi 53mins.

4th goal scored by Emmanuel Emenike 63mins!

Goal difference 4-1 =3goals

Extra time added on 3mins.

GREAT COINCIDENCE!!
maybe cos 9ja would turn 53..

haibe: We can play any team including egypt but we don't want egypt because of what their fans are like, if we win them in their home they can throw fires or bombs or tear gases at our players, they are so aggresive and hate loss, they may harm nigeria fans too, i don't like those arabs. I watched one of their local league where they rioted killing themselves, we don't want them abeg even if am sure we can beat them.

So give me ethiopia, or senegeal, i know hayattou issa won't try plotting us with cameroon, he won't want his country's world cup dream to be battered.
Heyy we senegalese don't want to face Nigeria-CIV-GHANA. We'd rather have Cape verde or Algeria, I know we can win against these

You seem to be stuck in 2006 or whatever. Egypt is nowhere near the level they were a few years ago. You need to keep up with current African football.

No matter how bad they have become, Egypt still remain a danger. They won Nigeria 3-1 last meeting in AFCON. They are also the only African team that have defeated Eagles since Keshi took over (friendly in Dubai late last year I think).

I fear Egypt.

Moreso that they are also rebuilding and to have come this far, with players like Mohammed Salah and co. Also, they also play free flowing football like Nigeria, so, like an European opposition, they will be a tough nut for us.

I know right grin , but I prefer to face Algeria since they have many french born players just as we do or Cape verde, not strong individualities , but they have fighting spirit and patriotism. CIV-GHANA-NIGERIA are too experimented for us two win two games away from home (our stadium is suspended)

I'm really happy that other Africans are scared of the name Nigeria Super Eagles now. I thought some Africans called them super chicken few months ago? I want a bias fixing in such a way that we face Ghana and clear their eyes off that world cup dream.

It's likely that both Naija and Ghana will be in the same pot (seeded teams), so they won't face each other. However, all that could change by tomorrow's ranking, because Ghana lost to Japan yesterday; while Nigeria beat Burkina Faso.

deep down you know that is not what you want,huh? I'll go ahead and book my flight to Brazil the moment Ghana is drawn with Nigeria. hahahahaha that's what most folks in Ghana are hoping for because playing Nigeria won't be a new thing. Most of the current Ghanaian players have played Nigeria in the past and won so they have a huge psychological boost

Jarus: 10 Qualified Countries:

1, Burkina Faso
2, Cape Verde
3, Senegal
4, Ivory Coast
5, Ethiopia
6, Nigeria
7, Ghana
8, Egypt
9, Algeria
10, Cameroon

Top 5 by FIFA August ranking (not likely to change in September)
1, CIV
2, Ghana
3, Algeria
4, Nigeria
5, Cape Verde
(NB: Mali are actually #3, but they didn't make it to this final round of 10)

The Top 5 above, who will be seeded, will take on these five in the second pot

6, Ethiopia
7, Senegal
8, Egypt
9, Burkina Faso
10, Cameroon

Now, which of these 5 do you think will be easiest for Eagles?

For me, the easiest should be Ethiopia, followed by Burkina Faso. These two are done deals, once we draw them.

The one I dread most is Egypt. Forget about their poor form in recent years, these boys are dangerous, especially on home soil.

Between Cameroun and Senegal, I also prefer Senegal. Senegal are our wives and even with Demba Ba, Mousa Sow, Papiss Cisse and co, I see Eagles pulling through. Cameroun are fighters, I don't pray we meet them.

So here is the order I prefer against Eagles

1, Ethiopia
2, Burkina Faso
3, Senegal
4, Cameroun
5, Egypt


Burkina Faso is actually ranked higher than Cape Verde.......do check the table again.
Nice and insightful analysis by the way.

And that's where the problem lays. People look at old form forgetting that nothing remains this same. In the past like you said, Nigeria also beat Ghana + the current crushing effects of the Super Eagles....... Sky is their limit.

This is why it will be so intriguing if we were drew together..... Current form supersedes all. Ghana qualified to this stage by a whisker.
