Super Eagles hit Germany today

The Super Eagles are expected to depart for Germany today to begin training ahead of the May 31 international friendly match against Mexico in Houston, Texas, United States of America. Coach Stephen Keshi will lead a team of nine home-based players and technical crew, who will fly out from the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja later this evening and are expected to arrive in Germany later in the night.

Though details of the camping remained unclear as at press time, the team is expected to spend about two weeks at the facility before they depart for Houston, where Nigeria will test skills against the North American country for their third time at the Reliant Stadium. Unsettled AFCON-winning goal scorer, Sunday Mba, leads the other eight home-based players which also include newest entrant, Sunshine Stars’ defender, Kunle Odunlami, for the trip.

Today: Mali vs Ghana

Ghana and Mali meet for the fourth time in the last two Africa Cup of Nations - having being drawn in the same group and ending up in the third place play-off at both tournaments.

The Black Stars won this year's Group B meeting, as they did in last year's finals, but Mali prevailed to finish third in Equatorial Guinea and Gabon. Both have a player suspended - Ghana's Mohamed Rabiu and Mali's Samba Sow. The two sides are also likely to give several of their fringe players a game.

‘Ifreke Inyang – 'Nigeria can win the AFCON' – 6 things we learnt from today’s victory over Cote d’I

Nigeria can win the AFCON

Let me catch my breath. Was that the Super Eagles of Nigeria against the Elephants? Did we utterly dominate the quarter-final clash or what? Every single player was up for the game. Less fancied names like Onazi Ogenyi, Sunday Mba, etc stood up tall and strong against true football superstars like Yaya Toure and Didier Drogba. Save for that little blip defensively, that led to Tiote levelling scores, the Eagles were almost perfect. Long may it continue. And who knows? With this kind of form, we fear no foe!
