Nigeria draw familiar foes

Nigeria have been drawn into Group F with
what might turn out to be either familiar
foes or total strangers, or a mixture of both
for the 2014 World Cup qualifiers.
Malawi, whom the Super Eagles played recently
as 2005 under Christian Chukwu, are in Group F,
where they will be joined by the winners of the
first round ties involving Seychelles/Kenya and
Djibouti/Namibia.
If both Kenya and Namibia triumph, it will be
familiar terrain for the Super Eagles.
But if Djibouti and Seychelles advance, it will be
uncharted territory for Samson Siasia and his
wards.
Whatever the qualifiers throw up, Nigerians will
expect Siasia to negotiate a path to the final
round, where the group winners from all 10
groups will play off in a two-legged tie to
determine who gets África's 5 tickets to Brazil
2014.
