Eagles leave for Curitiba, solicit prayers.

The Super Eagles departed Campinas for Curitiba on
Saturday morning where the team will play their opening
game of the World Cup against Asian representatives, Iran.
Campinas is the base city of the Nigerian team.
On Monday, they face an Iranian team managed by a former
Manchester United and Bafana Bafana of South Africa
coach, Carlos Quiroz.
Before they embarked on the journey, Eagles captain
Joseph Yobo, for the umpteenth time, assured Nigerians
that the team will not disappoint them at the tournament.
He called for prayers and positive attitude from all
Nigerians.
Last week, coach Stephen Keshi also asked Nigerians to
pray for the team as a mark of their support in the
competition.
He wants the fans of the team to send in their prayers via
Twitter.
“One day to go. Support us with your prayers,” he wrote.
Eagles will start their World Cup campaign on June 16
against Iran in Curitiba. They will afterwards play against
Bosnia-Herzegovina and Argentina for the Group F first
round matches.
