Daniel Amokachi, former Nigeria international, has expressed optimism that the Super Eagles are good enough to lift the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.

In an interview with BBC, the former Assistant coach of the Super Eagles said the Nigerian team can lift the trophy, if they have a change of mentality.

Amokachi said African teams must aspire to challenge for the World Cup rather than just participate in the tournament.

He said:-

“Will Nigeria get out of that group (2018 World Cup Group D)? Yes. Will Nigeria go far in the World Cup? Yes. Will Nigeria be able to win the World Cup? Yes.

“Africans have to start believing. They have to go past that stage of “your country got to the Second Round, your country got to the Quarter-finals”. No, I’m going to a major tournament to go and win it.

“If we had that mentality, we will go a very long way. And that was what killed us when we were there in 1994, that’s what killed Cameroon when they were there in 1990 and that’s what killed Senegal in 2002. Because they are just going there to have fun instead of “we are going there to win it”.

This year’s edition of the FIFA World Cup will be Super Eagles sixth appearance since debuting in the United States, US, in 1994.

With this nonsense they've been playing? I'm sure if there was a stage lesser than the group stage, Super Chickens wouldnt even qualify talkless of winning the cup itself or maybe Amokachi meant Glass Cups. Nonsense

Stop dreaming foolishly Amokachi.

Oga mind urself o!!

Not this present super eagles

the only way we can win is by tra
trans transmission transgender transitioning transmissioning transmitted to transfer around transformers transmission

I believe Nigeria would win the world cup one day but not in 2018.
So no need to be optimistic if we pass group stage na miracle.

It's not mentality only... they have to dedicate themselves to training, lose individual ego to become a cohesive team, stop being so pompous about individual skill. Government also needs to provide the best training facilities, give them real financial incentives, and NFF needs to encourage real talent, not just recruiting people for the national team because of their name.

Earlier Taribo West said he saw fire in the players when he visited their camp. In the match against Czech Republic, I rain quenching the fire and proceeding to world cup.

They are not ready. I wish Nigeria didn't spend the money to sponsor them.

Very disappointing match

Are you sure this over sabi have been watching our friendlies? ....mtcheeewwww

The only way Nigeria can get to the quarter finals... Is if they change the jersey...we never win any match with that Jersey.... The jersey too fine... And when something is too fine.... I hope you know what am trying to say?
