Mexico has defeated the Super Eagles once at the Confederations Cup in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia in 1995, while the three other games ended in a draw.
“It is a different rival, it brings a different competitiveness to what we have been playing and that we already need, beyond what which represents playing with Panama or Honduras, which is a bit of deepening about our zone rivals, because the qualifiers are coming and it is good that we do so,” Martino told Mexico Football Federation official website.
“Having totally dissimilar confrontations, in fact, Holland, Wales, Algeria, Japan, South Korea and now Nigeria, are totally different rivals and somehow we are seeing a little beyond the short term.”

Ndi Rohr is a mechanic coach. Ngwa Rohr has done nothing special for Nigeria. See the coach of another country praising Rohr’s Super Eagles. This is great. Just because Rohr has closed the door on evil agents with evil intentions they will be writing epistles to discredit this great man. Therein lies their dishonesty and machinations. Rohr has proved that not only will evil agents fail today, they will fail everyday. The Super Eagles is no longer Jankara market. I and I have seen through their evil ways. Jah bless Gernot Rohr and all deserving fans.
