NFF Banks On Eagles To Trounce Liberia

The Nigeria Football Federation-NFF has declared on
Wednesday that the Super Eagles will pull no punches when hostilities begin
against the Lone Star of Liberia in a 2013 African Cup of Nations decider in
Calabar next weekend.

Next Saturday’s duel in Canaan City qualifies as Nigeria’s
most important football match of the past two years, but the NFF says the
Eagles have the capacity to take the game by the scruff and turn back the
visitors with plenty of goals.

“The match in Calabar is a huge one, very important one, and
we are treating it as such,” said High Chief Emeka Inyama, Chairman of the NFF
Media and Publicity Committee.

“It doesn’t get bigger than what we have on our hands. But
the NFF has no fear at all. The Super Eagles will work very hard and deal
decisively with the Liberians.

“The NFF is providing and will continue to provide
everything that the team needs to emerge victorious on the day. The Super
Eagles will take no prisoners.

“In history, Liberia has never come to Nigeria to beat us,
at any level. It will not happen on 13th October.”

A total of 23 home-based players have been training in Abuja
for the encounter, to be joined by 15 foreign-based stars on Sunday as the
squad heads to Calabar.
