Don't Panic Over Argentina, Korea, Greece, Amodu Tells Nigerians by okuya: 9:27pm On Dec 06, 2009
Super Eagles Coach, Shaibu Amodu, believes that the only thing that can stop the Super Eagles from qualifying for the second round of the 2010 World is if Nigeria failed to prepare adequately for the competition.

Reacting to the World Cup draws held at the Cape Town International Conference Centre on Friday, Amodu said he had nothing to fear about Argentina, Greece and Korea, adding that with the support of Nigerians the Super Eagles will get out of the group B.

According to Amodu, "we are going back home to continue the work we started more than a year ago and I believe that if we do our home work well, we can excel at the World Cup.

"We will start with the Nations Cup and see how the players perform and then know what strategy to deploy when the World Cup comes around. I am not saying that we will not play t0o win the Nations Cup because our performance in Angola will give us an insight into what will happen in South Africa 2010.

Reminded that Argentina defeated Nigeria in the two times they met at the World Cup, Amodu said "things are bound to change some day, and I believe that we can make that change in South Africa. But we will go back to work hard.

"However, I must say that our success will also depend on the sort of support we get from the federation and the people. In this world Cup we will meet teams from three different playing styles and we have to adapt to the different styles if we must progress. But I am sure we will succeed."

Just as was the case at the 1994 World Cup, Nigeria was drawn against Argentina and Greece in Group B of the 2010 World Cup, with Asian giants, South Korea completing the quartet.
