Nigeria have drawn their first two games at the Africa Cup of Nations and will have to win today's game against Ethiopia in order to be assured of qualification for the next round.
Nigeria along with defending champions Zambia and even Ethiopia have a chance of making it to the next round of the Nations Cup, but coach Stephen Keshi, who captained Nigeria to glory in the 1994 edition of the tournament, is optimistic of his team’s chances.
Keshi disclosed that a lot of work has been put into preparing the team for today's encounter against Ethiopia.

"I want to recognise my team about preparation for tomorrow's game, we have been working very hard," he said.
"We have been talking to one another, and the spirit is high in the camp. I like what I am seeing with my players, so I think we are ready.
"I think everybody is ready, everybody is ready to go, and it is just a question of the coach's selection. That will take place, otherwise every member of my team is ready to go," Keshi declared.
The Super Eagles coach further stated that there was no cause for alarm and urged Nigerian fans to keep faith in the team.
"It's going to be OK tomorrow. That is the only thing I can tell Nigerian fans that they don't need to worry, all they need to do is just pray for no injuries, good health for the kids and they will come out and do their best tomorrow." he added

Thank you for creating and providing an exclusive site for the pleasure of football fans world over. Kickoff has a unique blog for the posting of individual’s opinions and suggestions pertaining to football. So far, its existence has brought so much information and education about local and international footfall. I have personally learnt a lot from various posts on this forum. I am convinced without reasonable doubt on the genuine intention of so many who desire to be part of kickoff contributors.
While contrary contributions are always welcomed irrespective of the tune or emotion displayed in writing, the abuse of freedom of expression which culminates into curses clearly brings dirty and unhealthy spirit into this wonderful forum.
My humble suggestions toward consolidating this forum for healthy use by matured users are as follows:
1. Devise a means to identify and scrape members who have sufficiently displayed immaturity through the use of offensive and abusive written words (since kickoff may not be able to ascertain given ages while registering potential members).
2. Any scrapped user i.d. should never be readmitted into this forum. A team of your staff, say two or three might take up this as an extra responsibility. Also, certain software can be utilized for this purpose.
3. Delete posts displaying irresponsibility i.e. cursing, or using the “F and S” words which your organization would not be proud to promote to kids; whom you cannot prevent from reading various members comment.
For further details on the possibility of the above, please channel your comprehensive research through www.weddingwire.com. They have a way of deleting abusive and fictitious reviews from their blog less than 6 hours from the time it posts.
If member’s confrontational post that is only intentioned to vex and create imaginary conflicts can be checked or controlled through deleting of same, such members would channel their negative energy elsewhere: thus giving better opportunity for more constructive, creative criticisms and or communication. This has become imperative comparing the diminishing trend of vital contributions to the scary, yet rising trend of irresponsible contributors. If the fundamentals of sport is to entertain, educate, benefit and unite, then this forum as a means of spotting activity can be restructured to avail it's members same gains.
I suppose every nigerian has the potential to become a 419 or is it a norm so i dont blame Keshi Cash,the stage is easily set for him to do our thing(La cosa nostra) no wahala.I can also go as far as blowing the church with a C4 or turn someone into a drug addict,leave him/her to overdose and die, turn her into a Prost all in the name of money.God forbid.Hope the super eagles win tonight.
