Sudan match: It’s do or die for Eagles – Siasia

Former Super Eagles coach, Samson Siasia believes the Super Eagles will fail to qualify for the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) if they don’t beat Sudan in their third qualifying game.
Siasia, who managed the Super Eagles between 2010 and 2011, was sacked after failing to lead the side to the 2012 Afcon co-hosted by Gabon and Equatorial Guinea.
The former Nantes striker has now declared that the reigning African champions will fail to qualify for the 2015 edition of the competition in Morocco if they fail to beat Sudan in Khartoum on October 11.
“If we lose to Sudan in our next game, we are out. There is no way we will qualify after that,” he said.
Nigeria will go toe to toe with Sudan in their next two internationals – home and away- and Sisaia reckons that dropped points in even one of the fixtures would harm Nigeria’s chances of reaching the 2015 Afcon finals in Morocco.
“Coach Stephen Keshi just has to ensure he wins the next two matches against Sudan to keep us alive,” he said.
