Algeria football legend Rabah Madjer
holds a strong view that the Super
Eagles have already qualified for the
Brazil 2014 Fifa World Cup.
The 54 year old who made 87
appearances for the Desert Foxes and
played a key role in FC Porto's European
Cup triumph in 1987 is of theopinion
that it will be a wild goose chase for the
East Africans to upset the reigning
African champions in Calabar.
"In view of its success in Ethiopia, the
second leg will be a mere formality for
Nigeria, also one of the greatest football
nations on the continent," he told
cafonline.
"This is a team that has always been a
danger to opponents. Ethiopia has
made tremendous progress in recent
years, but in my opinion it is not
enough.
"Nigerian players are superior and
Stephen Keshi has done a great job to
bring his team to the top."
When asked to pick his choice of five
African teams that will eventually make
it to Brazil, the former Algerian national
team handler predicted three West
African nations to fly Africa's flag.
"I hope Algeria will ge there and it has
the potential to do so. Though it is my
wish to also see Tunisia go through, I
believe Cameroon will eventually
snatch the ticket to Brazil.
"In principle Ghana, Nigeria and Cote
d'Ivoire should have no problem
confirming their tickets," Madjah
added. Source Vanguard Nigeria
