If NFF is wise, they will invite beatable countries such as England for friendlies before the draws. That way we will get higher in FIFA ranking which will help us get a better draw.

Countries such as Wales, England, Serbia, Poland that are beatable but ahead of us in FIFA ranking.
FIFA has said it will the September ranking to seed. So doing that will be in futility.

I have a feeling that Africa representatives​ will perform better than previous editions of the world cup. Nigeria especially is going to pull a lotta surprises. we have some consistent and reliable players now, just a little brushing up and a sound preparation is required to achieve a dream world cup.

We want a better footballing experience this time around. In 2014, we could have beaten France but we messed it all up. Our players need to believe that we can surpass previous second round records. In 2014, the French were made ordinary only for them to come around toward the end of the match to beat us 2-0. That match was painful.

As for the seeding, I am not really concerned. I believe we can beat anyone. We held England to a 0-0 draw with a team full of first timers in 2002. England had Beckham and Scholes. We only need to always try to keep our heads when we score first. 2002 and 2010 come to mind. In 2002, we scored first against Sweden only for them to come around to beat us. Exactly same thing happened in 2010 when we scored first in the match against Greece only for them to come back to beat us. Same against South Korea. We got a first early goal only for South Korea to soon be leading us 2-1. All these matches were very painful for me. They were even more painful than the France 98 disastrous second round match against Denmark.

Guy, I recall all these matches, but you took them too personal, you wan kill yourself for Nigeria?
