If his prayers are to be answered,
Nigeria assistant coach Fatai Amoo will see the Eagles to avoid five
time world champions Brazil and reigning European champions in the group
stages of the World Cup.
"Whether we like it or not, these big teams would fall into certain groups but for me I wish we can still avoid them at least in the early stages,” Amoo said. to 234next.com.
"It's a tall order no doubt, but it is not unachievable if we put our minds to it and work hard.
“The so-called difficult team can also be defeated, teams get better as they settle down into tournaments, so if we can have a good start we can look on to build on that."
The World Cup draw will be made by FIFA on Friday in Cape Town, LIVE on Goal.com.
