With the World Cup draw scheduled to take place in Brazil tomorrow, Academica midfielder John Ogu wants Nigeria to avoid some of the top guns in the group stage.

The Super Eagles are in pot 2 of the draw and could find themselves in a group containing Spain, Brazil or Argentina.

“I would love we don’t meet Brazil, Spain and Argentina in the first round.

“But if it happens we get any of  these teams, we are ready for battle because in football anything is possible.

“It is eleven players against eleven players,” says John Ogu to allnigeriasoccer.com.

Nigeria has never participated in a World Cup staged in South America.

The continent hosted the showpiece event in 1930, 1950, 1962 and 1978, with the trophy remaining in South America on each occasion.

South America powerhouses Brazil and Argentina have both won four of the last ten tournaments.
