Nickname: Super Eagles

Number of World Cup appearances: 3

Best World Cup finish: Second round (1994, 1998)

Team Breakdown
Nigeria was briefly in a state of limbo after its disappointing third-place finish during January’s African Cup of Nations earlier this year. After the continental tournament they fired head coach Shaibu Amodu and hired Swedish coach Lars Lagerback in late February to run the team this summer. Lagerback, during his stint with Sweden, led them to five major tournaments, including both 2002 and 2006 World Cup appearances.

The Super Eagles are definitely capable of making some noise in South Africa this June and July. They were Africa’s best World Cup hope during the 1990s and still remain a viable threat, as seen by their second round accomplishments in both 1994 and 1998.
