BATTLE OF UYO: kANU CANVASSES SUPPORT FOR EAGLES





Former Super Eagles captain Nwankwo Kanu has urged Nigerians to turn out in large numbers to support the Eagles as they file out against Algeria on Saturday.


The former Arsenal and Portsmouth ace opined that the Gernot Rohr tutored side has prepared adequately for the Uyo showdown, adding that all that is needed now is for soccer loving Nigerians to play the role of the 12th player.
The two time African footballer of the year did not bother to predict possible score line of the match which the Algerians have equally dubbed a must win, but declared that only three points will be good enough.
""Come on let us all support our dear Eagles against Algeria.3 points is all we want and our boys are ready and all the need is our support, “he submitted Friday.

Meanwhile business especially sales of souvenirs has picked up in Uyo, the Akwa Ibom state capital ahead of the tie billed for 5pm today.  A number of soccer fans who spoke to Sportinglife on telephone revealed that  dealers in T-shirts, flags and caps have been making brisk business even as others have taken to betting with predictions ranging from 1-0, 3-2 3-1 to 3-0 all in favour of Eagles.
