Algeria football legend Rabah Madjer
holds a strong view that the Super Eagles
have already qualified for the Brazil 2014
Fifa World Cup.
The 54 year old who made 87
appearances for the Desert Foxes and
played a key role in FC Porto's European
Cup triumph in 1987 is of theopinion that
it will be a wild goose chase for the East
Africans to upset the reigning African
champions in Calabar.
"In view of its success in Ethiopia, the
second leg will be a mere formality for
Nigeria, also one of the greatest football
nations on the continent," he told
cafonline.
"This is a team that has always been a
danger to opponents. Ethiopia has made
tremendous progress in recent years, but
in my opinion it is not enough.
"Nigerian players are superior and
Stephen Keshi has done a great job to
bring his team to the top."
When asked to pick his choice of five
African teams that will eventually make it
to Brazil, the former Algerian national
team handler predicted three West
African nations to fly Africa's flag.
"I hope Algeria will ge there and it has
the potential to do so. Though it is my
wish to also see Tunisia go through, I
believe Cameroon will eventually snatch
the ticket to Brazil.
"In principle Ghana, Nigeria and Cote
d'Ivoire should have no problem
confirming their tickets," Madjah added.
