Director of competitions of the Nigeria Football Federation, Dr. Mohamed Sanusi says the Super Eagles are highly motivated to perform at a high level going into the World Cup qualifier against Malawi.<br /><br />'' The players are motivated because they know that it is very important to wear the national colours.<br /><br />'' And they also know that the federation has not failed in its responsibilities to them, secondly, they know that they have their reputation to protect so I would say that they are really motivated,'' Sanusi said to Brila FM.<br /><br />With 9 points from 5 matches, Nigeria are 2 points ahead of closest challengers Malawi in African Group F World Cup qualifying.<br /><br />And that means even a draw against the Flames in Calabar this afternoon would be enough to progress to the play - off round.<br /><br /><br />
