The Eagles seem ready to quench the Flames of Malawi as the weather brightened on Friday morning following days of incessant rainfall. After about six days of continuous rainfall in Calabar, the sun has surprisingly shot out as the Super Eagles prepare to confirm their Group F ticket against Malawi.
The team had a slight training session on Friday morning as the coaches fined tune their strategies ahead of the game scheduled for the UJ Esuene Stadium on Saturday by 4pm.
From information gathered from those that surround the team, the players are ready to give their all to secure the ticket. The playing pitch looked lush on Friday and did not give way even with the amount of water that the pitch had soaked in. The players were sure-footed and in the shooting drills, all the players were in the most rambunctious manner.
The tickets also went on sale today as match officials have decided that tickets will not be sold near the stadium on match day especially. Now the hours are ticking down to the 4pm kick-off time. Wishing the Super Eagles the best of luck and lots of goals.
