Former NFA Chairman Ibrahim Galadima and Atlanta Olympics gold medalist, Garba Lawal are praying for the Eagles to defeat the Mambas of Mozambique and for Tunisia to slip as both sides continue their 2010 World Cup campaign.While the Eagles will be seeking the maximum points in Abuja, Tunisia will be attempting to beat Kenya in Rades.

Ex-international Adokie Amiesimaka, like most Nigerians, still has the believe that there is the possibility that the Eagles may qualify for the 2010 World Cup.

Former Eagles coach Christian Chukwu and former player Emeka Ezeugo have stated clearly that Sunday’s match in Abuja against the Mambas of Mozambique is a must win game as no excuses would be accepted in the end.

Former Rangers assistant coach Sylvanus Okpala and former Green Eagles midfielder Mutiu Adepoju believe the chance of qualifying for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa is till intact until after the remaining matches.
Okpala told Saturday Vanguard sports that if the Eagles could win their two remaining matches, they could still qualify if the Tunisians slip by any chance.

Former Green Eagles captain, Henry Nwosu,(MON), despite feeling disappointed over the 2-2 draw Eagles played against Tunisia in Abuja last month has said the players can still make up for it with today’s game against the Mambas of Mozambique and has therefore charged the players to have a change of attitude and go all out to beat the Mozambicans.
