Jose Mourinho, Manchester United manager.
As the kick off of
the 2018 Mundial in Russia draws closer by the day, Manchester United manager,
Jose Mourinho, has predicted that the Super Eagles will not qualify for the
quarterfinals of the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
He said the
Nigerian team will get knocked out from the tournament by France in round of
16, claiming France’s superior strength as reason for his prediction.
”France
vs. Nigeria… I would say that the French will be stronger,” Mourinho to Russia
Television network RT.
Recall
that Mourinho last week tipped Gernot Rohr’s men to finish second in Group
D behind Argentina and face France in the second round, a repeat of their
2014 World Cup fixture at Estádio Nacional Mané Garrincha, BrasÃlia.

Paul
Pogba’s 79th minute strike and a Joseph Yobo own goal in injury time condemned
the Eagles to defeat in Brazil 2014.
Nigeria
beat France 1-0 in a friendly game at the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard stadium in
June 2009, with Joseph Akpala netting the winner in the 32nd minute.
The
Eagles qualified for the last sixteen at USA 1994, France 1998 and Brazil 2014,
but lost to European opposition on each occasion.
