Enyeama: Eagles Don’t Fear France

Nigeria are not scared of France and are capable of beating them, according to Vincent Enyeama.

The Eagles went through as runners up in Group F, earning a last-16 berth despite a 3-2 defeat in their final group match against Argentina in Porto Alegre.

Stephen Keshi’s side are aiming to reach the World Cup quarter-finals for the first time in their history and, despite coming up against a France side that have impressed so far, Enyeama feels that dream can become a reality.

“We fear nobody,” the 31-year-old said in an interview with L’Equipe.

“We have a culture for football. It’s our way of life. We work for that and we must show the world what we are capable of.

“France are favourites but anything could happen. I said before the tournament that playing them would be my dream fixture.

“To be honest, we have a great confidence in ourselves.”
