A former Director-General, National Sports Commission (NSC), Amos Adamu, said that the Super Eagles must be wary of their 2014 World Cup opponents.

“How I wish they win the World Cup. One fundamental thing we mustn’t underestimate is that all the teams that qualified for the World Cup are potential winners.

“So we don’t have to start looking down on a country and feel that they are not threats to us. Every team emerges from a competition.

“So no team in Brazil is a cheap party. But I think we are at our best now and with a little bit of good luck, we’ll thrive,” Adamu said.

He also said that there was need for the team’s technical crew to give other players a chance, adding that it would help strengthen the team.

"I think it would be important to recall some players who appear to be doing well in their clubs at the moment,” he said.
