President tips Super Eagles for victory in Brazil 2014

Paris - President Goodluck Jonathan has said
that the Super Eagles will have a victorious outing
in the 2014 FIFA World Cup to be staged in Brazil.
Jonathan was reacting to the group draw for the
preliminary stages of the World Cup tournament
held in Costa do Sauipe, Brazil on Friday night.
Nigeria emerged in Group F with Argentina, Iran
and Bosnia.
"We are quite hopeful that Nigeria will do very
well.
"We have won the Olympic gold in soccer before,
we have won under-17 thrice and we have been
doing quite well in the U-22.
"So, I believe and the world knows that Nigeria is
a football nation even though we have not had the
opportunity or luck of winning the World Cup,’’ he
said.
Jonathan added that the team will perform well,
particularly at the preliminary stage of the
tournament.
"Within the zone that Nigeria will play, Argentina is
a strong soccer nation but, Nigeria is also
strong,’’ he said.
