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.
