Nigeria vs Mali - Can the Super Eagles Fly to the FINALS?

The time is 4pm (Nigerian time) and the battle ground is Moses Mabhida Stadium, Durban.

It will be recalled that many Nigerians had written off  the Eagles after their unimpressive outings during the group stage of the tournament, but all that changed in their game against Cote d’Ivoire in the quarter final, with admiration and praises from all and sundry.

The question is against a very decisive young and disciplined Malian Team: Can the Super Eagles be super and get us into the finals.

250 Million + National heart beats
Over 1 Billion Nigeria Fans around the world

The stakes are high, Can we expect a super dupa Super Eagles or a cooper cooker eagles?

Nigeria eased through to their first Africa Cup of Nations final in 13 years with a comfortable victory over Mali.

Defender Elderson Echiejile opened the scoring, heading home Victor Moses' cross, before Brown Ideye bundled past Mali keeper Mamadou Samassa.

The Super Eagles made it three with Emmanuel Emenike's shot deflecting in off Mali midfielder Momo Sissoko. Substitute Ahmed Musa stroked home Nigeria's fourth, before Cheick Diarra grabbed a consolation for the Eagles.

So Yes, Nigeria is in the FINALS.....its a welcomed development.

Congrats to Goodluck Jonathan, to Nigerians, To Keshi and to the Super Eagles Squad
