Tournament favourites Ivory Coast were upset 2-1 by a young Nigerian side at the Royal Bafokeng Stadium, and Eboue says his side were left stunned.
“I have to say Nigeria surprised us. The way they played, the way they passed the ball. They defended as a team and did not break their formation. I have to give credit to Stephen Keshi and Daniel Amokachi for the kind of team they have built.”
Eboue, who has been the subject of controversy because of tweets from an impostor, says he wishes the Super Eagles the best.
"I think they are good enough to win it if they play like this and I wish them all the best.
"They are my brothers and I would never say bad things about them. That person has been doing that for a long time. I don't have twitter or Facebook. I only use Skype."
