Nigeria are favourites says Nabih


Assistant coach of Egypt’s national team, Osama Nabih has identified three factors that could derail his side’s chances of positing creditable results against Nigeria in this month’s 2017 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) qualifying matches.
Three-time champions, Nigeria will face Egypt in the first of two 2017 Afcon qualifiers at the Ahmadu Bello Stadium, Kaduna on March 25 with the return fixture coming up four later at the Borg El-Arab Stadium in Alexandria.
Nabih [below] says Nigeria are favourites for three reasons.
“The first difficulty is Nigeria is a big name in the African continent, despite failing to reach the last edition of the Africa Cup.
“Nigeria is coached by Samson Siasia who reached the Olympic Games (winning a Silver medal) first with the U-23 team.
“Moreover, Nigeria have 22-foreign based players alongside well prepared ones in the domestic Nigerian league. So Siasia possess all the tools that lead to success.
“Despite the difficulty of the Nigeria game, we are working to improve our chance of qualifying for the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations finals in the coming Nigeria game,” Nabih told Egyptian media outfit, www.nilesports.com.
Egypt is leading Group G with six points, two ahead of second-placed Nigeria.
Only the group winners are guaranteed automatic qualification for the 2017 Afcon.

BOKU NO HERO ACADEMIA

Ever since i started reading the manga series i started wondering how much it reminds me of NARUTO, especially this character IZUKU MIDORIYA the main protagonist. Summary Izuku Midoriya is the main protagonist of My Hero Academia. Originally born without a Quirk, Izuku spent most of his life growing up ostracized from the paranormal community around him, though harboring a seemingly impossible vision to become a hero like his idol, the legendary All Might. Having caught the hero's attention, he has since become his close pupil and a student at Yuuei, where his valiant efforts have won him the respect of his classmates albeit forming a tense rivalry with his childhood friend Katsuki Bakugou. He is a very timid person who is easily shocked by the wacky events in heroic life, but is very diligent, strong-willed, and an idealist who will always try to rescue someone in danger, often biting off more than he can chew in the process.
