A former Coach of the Uganda national team, Harrison Okagbue,
who is a die hard fan of the Super Eagles has expressed optimism that
the Eagles would win their second match against Bosnia on Saturday.

Speaking
in Awka on Friday, the ex-international also pointed out that the team
needed a change of approach in their general performance in order to
secure the victory.
He advised the Eagles to effectively make use
of its flanks to open up the opponents’ defence, and warned team against
playing a tip-tap pattern which they adopted against Iran, that led to
their goalless draw.
Okagbue urged the Eagles to go all out for goals and redeem the image of Africa at the ongoing World Cup.
"Approaching
our games against Bosnia and Argentina with the same tactics will spell
doom for us. I am hopeful they will do better in their subsequent
games. They need to correct these mistakes and ensure that we qualify
from the group" Okagbue said.
Similarly, another fan in Brazil,
Jude Obikwelu, who is also the chairman of Anambra FA said, he was very
optimistic that the Super Eagles would qualify from the group, and urged
Nigerians to pray and support the team.
"I am in high spirit that
we shall beat Bosnia and qualify for second round. Let’s pray for our
Super Eagles, after all in AFCON 2013, they were written off, but they
went ahead to win the competition. Let us stand behind them this time"
he said.
