Seattle Sounders forward, Obafemi Martins, has tipped Nigeria to conquer Tanzania in far away Dar Es Salam on September 5 when the two sides clash in an African Cup of Nations qualifiers.
Martins, who has been in-form for his MLS side said that Sunday Oliseh's list of invited players are good enough to get a comfortable win for the Nigerian national team.
“I think the coach has chosen a good squad and hopefully Nigeria will win in Tanzania,” the mercurial star said from his base in Seattle USA.
“We shouldn’t underrate any team in Africa for now, there are no minnows in world football anymore. I have seen the list, very experience team led by Emenike (Emmanuel) (below)and Vincent Enyeama and I am sure they will beat their host to come out top in the group.” He went on to say.
"Obagoal" as he is fondly called by Super Eagles fans has recently declared that he is willing to play for Nigeria again after publicly criticizing former Coach Keshi and vowing not to play internationally again.
The Nigerian international warned Oliseh and his boys not to underrate any team as African football has grown beyond what it use to be.
Nigeria and Egypt have three points each after one game in the AFCON qualifying series in Group G, though the Pharaohs have scored one more goal and are therefore ahead following their 3-0 defeat of Tanzania in Cairo.
The game is on Saturday the 5th , in Dar Es Salam at 4.30 local time which is 3.30 CAT or 2.30 WAT. Supersport
