Published: June 16, 2014
If their last two opening fixture defeats to Argentina - in South Korea/Japan 2002 and South Africa 2010 - should serve as a lesson, Nigeria know they must target all three points against Iran.
“We are the African champions. Now we have young players. I think people will be surprised.
“As team captain, I try to motivate the entire group. This is a unique chance for us,” Joseph Yobo told reporters..
Nigeria defeated Iran 1 - 0 in the only meeting between the two sides in a pre - World Cup friendly 16 years, thanks to a second half strike from Ahmed Yaro Yaro.
