Eagles on clipped wings
Nigeria's Super Eagles will have a silver lining in case they don't make it out of Group A of the 2015 Afcon qualifiers. With 4 points from four games, the African champions are third on the log and with two games remaining, can reach a maximum of 10 points if they win the remaining games away to Congo in Pointe Noire and in Uyo against South Africa. The Confederation of African Football (CAF) have sent reminders to it's various association regarding how the best third placed team will emerge to join other qualifiers for the biennial event. Caf has already earmarked the two top teams from each group to go through and a third best team from the qualifying series to join hosts Morocco.
