BRAZIL 2014 : Eagles’ll reach semi-final – Enyeama

Super Eagles first choice goalkeeper, Vincent Enyeama has tipped the na­tional team to make it to the semi final of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
Brimming with confidence ahead of this summer’s World Cup, Enyeama believed the Super Eagles have what it takes to reach the semi-finals.


The reigning African cham­pions have never made it past the round of 16 on the four pre­vious occasions that they quali­fied for the final, but the Lille goalkeeper had little doubt they could cause a surprise this time around.
“I think we are going to make big progress,” Enyeama told the official FIFA website.
“We are focused on the World Cup, to make Africa the proudest continent.
“Ghana almost reached the semi-finals four years ago. We are going to achieve a better result and be the first African team to get to the semi-finals of the World Cup.”
Nigeria will possibly meet France in the first round of the knockout stages, but the Lille goalkeeper was not thinking about taking on the country where he’s been plying his trade since 2011.
“If we play against France, it will be interesting, but if we play against Switzerland, it will also be interesting. The impor­tant thing is to qualify.
“Playing France for a place in the last eight is not really what matters to me right now, I just want the team to make it to the second round.
“But maybe we will come out first, and then we will not have to play against France.”
Nigeria meets Argentina, Bosnia & Herzegovina and Iran in the group stages.
