Nigeria are good enough to stop a losing run against Argentina at the World Cup according to former star goalkeeper Peter Rufai.
African champions Nigeria face the South Americans again at Brazil 2014 after they lost thrice at the World Cup to them.
But ‘Dodo Mayana’ as Rufai is fondly called by his admirers told MTNFootball.com that Nigeria now have the confidence and quality to stop the two-time world champions in Brazil in June.
"Argentina are favourite to win the World Cup no doubt, but I see the Eagles as tough and a team good enough to beat Argentina in Brazil,” said Rufai, who was in goal when Nigeria first lost to Argentina 2-1 at the 1994 World Cup in the USA.
“We have top and good players home and abroad. I therefore believe these Eagles will beat Argentina and go on to do well in the World Cup."
Both countries have clashed five times at full international level with Argentina winning four of these meetings, while Nigeria recorded a famous 4-1 win in a friendly in Abuja in 2011.
