Nigeria

At the last moment Nigeria qualified for the first World Cup on the African continent. Although the "Super Eagles" remain in the group B without defeat, but they owe their participation in South Africa due a surprising defeat of former leader Tunisia against Mozambique.

Their greatest achievements celebrated the Nigerians in the nineties. Then, as today the now 33-year-old Nwanko Kanu played a key role in the Nigerian game. The team around the veteran recruited almost from traditional performers from the top leagues in Europe.
