Huge welcome for Nigeria in South Africa
Posted: 17 January 2013 Time: 19:22
Hundreds of raucous, enthusiastic fans turned up at OR Tambo Airport to welcome the Super Eagles, with expectations raised sky high for a first trophy in 19 years.
The squad arrived in South Africa on Thursday morning, with fans asking for Keshi to bring home the cup.
But the coach was quick to temper those expectations
"Of course we have come here to compete for the trophy, but we cannot say we will win it.
"What we have to do is take each game as it comes. And then we'll see how it goes."
Captain Joseph Yobo took time to praise the courage of the coach in selecting young players to compete at the tournament
"He has been there before, has captained the team and all the players trust him and believe in him and we all want to play for him."

I am poised to see the first two games to know weather or not we will get to the finals. I am just expecting the best, yet prepared for the worst. Don't blame me please. If the Couch can not confidently promise anything, then who am I. God Bless the Super Eagles of Nigeria.
We can still fly home with the trophy, not because we are the best team
WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE!!!
Like the Olympics, competing in itself is as honorable as winning. There will be only one champion at the end. I dare to tip Nigeria V Ghana for the first semi-final, CIV V SA / Mali for the second semi-final, from there on, anything can happen!
Sower to the sky the Great Super Eagles of Nigeria. No Tension!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Welcome home guyz, wishing you all the very best and the favour of God be with you guy!
