WORLD CUP DRAW: Keshi, we are not afraid of super powers

“First it is good we have qualified for the World Cup which is the main aim at the start of the qualifiers. For me, I’m open to facing any team at the World Cup as we cannot determine who and who we want to play against,” he said.
“All 32 countries have equal opportunities because they are the best from the different continents of the world at the moment. Same goes for Nigeria. I believe we have a team that can do well and go as far as the final.

“Our concern right now is to do well at the World Cup next year. The World Cup is always a big stage to show what you’re capable of doing as a player and as a team. But right now we will concern ourselves with preparing for the World Cup rather than bother about who our opponents will be. By next month we will know that and from there we will know what to do,” Keshi told  supersport.com on Friday.

Brazil, Spain, Germany, Argentina, Colombia, Belgium, Switzerland and Uruguay are the seeded teams in Pot One and Nigeria’s Super Eagles could be drawn alongside one of them for the group stage
