Super Eagles' Victory Is For Africa – Stephen Keshi

Super Eagles coach Stephen Keshi has praised the team for
their 1-0 win over Bosnia on Saturday night and dedicated the
result to all of Africa.
The Super Eagles are now favourites to reach the last 16
alongside Argentina, who they face in their final Group F
fixture, following their narrow success in Cuiaba.
Stoke striker Osaze Odemwingie scored the only goal of the
game when he converted from close range after Emmanuel
Emenike out-muscled Emir Spahic on the right flank.
Bosnia had a goal incorrectly ruled out for offside in the first
half and then saw Edin Dzeko hit the post in added time to
crash out of the tournament. According to Bosnia coach, their
team were robbed of a goal.
And with West African neighbours Ivory Coast and Ghana also
making a big impression in Brazil, Nigeria boss Keshi is
determined to make sure his team are among the continent's
representatives in the last 16.
According to him, everybody is happy in West Africa as Ghana
got their result (2-2 draw with Germany) and Super Eagles won.
Stephen Keshi said: "It's good for the continent. The fighting
spirit we showed was good. I never thought that we wouldn't
make the round of 16. I have the players.
"But look at Iran today, if it was not for Lionel Messi. We need
to work hard for the game against Argentina," he added.
