With the
commencement of the FIFA 2010 World Cup in South Africa just hours
away, Nigeria’s national team, the Super Eagles, has continued to
receive support from within and outside Nigeria.

The Eagles are
billed to face 1978 and 1986 champions, Argentina in the opening game
of Group Bat the Ellis Park Stadium in Johannesburg, South Africa. The
outcome of that match will have serious implications for Nigeria’s
quest for a semi-final slot at the tournament. And Starcomms, one of
Nigeria’s leading telecommunications companies, has called on the
Eagles to lift their game at the World Cup.

The company’s Chief
Commercial Officer, Tushar Maheshwari, in a goodwill message to the
players urged them to put in their very best and refuse to be
intimidated by any team, noting that like any other team in the
tournament; they have the chance of winning the trophy.

Describing the
Super Eagles, as one of Africa’s best teams at the tournament, he urged
them to use their unmatched skills to score goals that would bring
honour to their fatherland during the month-long football fiesta.
According to him, the Super Eagles have been known to perform very well
when least expected, saying that the boys have “the capacity to perform
miracles.”

On the
all-important clash with Argentina, Maheshwari said the Eagles have the
swiftness to demobilise the Argentines urging the Nigerian players not
to see the South Americans as mountains they cannot. He added that the
Eagles should not to resign themselves to finishing second in the group
as the Argentines are not unbeatable.

Rallying fans

Maheshwari has
urged Nigerians not to focus on how the team qualified for the World
Cup, noting that: “The Argentines struggled to qualify for the world
cup as well, let us not forget that at all.”

As part of plans to
ensure that its subscribers get a feel of the World Cup, Starcomms has
made available a number of football based caller tunes that will excite
them as they enjoy the tournament. The Eagles are drawn to play
Argentina, South Korea and Greece in the competition’s group stage.
