Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) board member, Emeka Inyama, confirmed monday that Jonathan was going to personally speak with the players as a way to motivate them against Argentina who struggled to gain maximum points from Iran last Wednesday.

Meanwhile, It was a smooth one hour, thirty minutes flight for the Super Eagles and its officials from Campinas yesterday to Porto Alegre, as the team gears up for tomorrow’s group decider against former World Champions, Argentina.

On the flight with the Eagles was the Vice President of the NFF, Mike Okeke Umeh, House of Reps members led by Vice Chairman, House Committee on Sports, Alhaja Ayo Omidiran, Coach Stephen Keshi and his crew and all the 23 players registered for the tournament.
