Nigeria May Draw Cameroon, Ghana In World Cup 2018 Qualifiers

Sunday Oliseh and many Nigerian fans will be praying against meeting strong west African opponents in the world cup 2018 group qualifying matches due to the fierce rivalry between the top teams in the region.

Five-time World Cup finalists Nigeria could well draw arch-rivals Ghana and Cameroon in the group phase of the qualifying tournament for the 2018 World Cup should the FIFA rankings be mainly used to seed teams.

No date has been fixed yet for the draw for this final round of the World Cup qualifiers, which will be played on league basis, but speculations are rife that it could be before the end of the year.

Nigeria 2-0 Swaziland: Moses Simon, Efe Ambrose Nets Eagles To Victory

The super eagles of Nigeria broke the deadlock against Swaziland in the 51st minute of play when Moses Simon curled in a superb free kick from about 26 yards.

The Shilangus parked the bus in their own defence and denied the eagles of any good chance in the first half with the best attempt coming from Odion Ighalo which he kicked off target. The King Shield however got a super attempt in the first half after they played a set piece into the box of the Super Eagles.

During the half time break Daniel Amokachi said "it seems the god of football is on the side of the eagles, that attempt from the Shilangus should have been a goal but it seems Nigeria was fortunate not to have conceded that goal".
