The Super Eagles"On Tuesday, everyone is ready to fight and die for the color of the country," said the Everton defender.
"We now have a possible mission towards the next round.
"When we walked off that pitch against Greece, we thought it was all over but now there is a second chance for us.
"Many people insist it will be impossible but we have been written off several times during the qualifiers, yet we made it."
They lost 0-1 to Argentina and 1-2 to 2004 European Champion, Greece.
Though no team in The World Cup history has ever lost more than one group stage game and gone on to reach the next round,
A single-goal victory in the team’s final match against South Korea and even a single-goal loss for Greece against the table-topping Argentina would see Nigeria through on goal difference.
We wish them the very best today...
