Let me dwell more on Nigeria’s chances at the tournament. How bright are our chances? Do we have what it takes to confront big-soccer nations as Germany, Brazil France and Spain? I am aware we are going to Brazil as the reigning African champions. Does that add any value to our chances of doing well? As champions of Africa, we will be under obligation to conduct ourselves creditably, and that will bring too much pressure to bear on the team.
