Kolo Toure Tips Nigeria To Win Afcon

Interviewed by goal.com, Ivorian international Kolo Toure has tipped Nigeria to overcome Mali and progress to the final of the African Nations Cup.

''Nigeria were stronger than us. I am expecting them to win all of their remaining games in the tournament. I mean, they are two steps away from lifting this trophy.

''Stephen Keshi is a good coach and he has changed Nigeria into a respectable team. I think he won’t have a problem beating Mali because he was their coach, he understands their culture,'' said the Manchester City defender.

Nigeria last won the tournament 19 years ago in Tunisia. Then, present coach Stephen Keshi was the skipper of the team.
