In 2004, the ball rolled for us, this time it rolled for Nigeria. That is law of the sport, and that's how we should look at it. We accept our defeat in the spirit of fair play. -Roger Lemerre

This win allows us to go through to the next round. We did a great effort and we hope to defend the title. This team has discipline and good tactics, and its comparable to top European teams. We are well prepared.
