Can Nigeria shock the World of football by beating Spain today?

The Atlanta '96 victory over Brazil and Argentina, The France '98 victory over Spain and that stunning Sunday Oliseh goal, These are memories most football lovers from Nigeria hold dearly. These are moments when Nigeria went from being under-dogs to stunning the world, and Nigerians will hope that we have a repeat of that again this evening in Brazil.

Spain coach Vicente Del Bosque would revert to his first-choice side for Sunday’s Confederations Cup clash with Nigeria.

It would be basically that side, yes,” said Del Bosque when asked if he would name the same side that beat Uruguay 2-1 last Sunday in Recife.

Xavi, Fabregas, Iniesta, Villa, Torres etc. This are BIG names in world football, The European and World champions, and arguably the best team in the world, currently Spain are on a five-game winning run and are unbeaten in their last 24 matches.

Nigeria on the other hand suffered a narrow defeat in the hands of South American champions, Uruguay and are missing the core of key players that handed over the 2013 African cup of Nations to Nigeria, AFCON top scorer Emmanuel Emenike, Victor Moses, Ogenyi Onazi and even the scorer of the hatrick against Tahiti, Nnamdi Oduamadi are some of the Eagles stars that will be missed,

Can we rely on Brown Ideye, Ahmed Musa and Babatunde to shock the Spanish defence?

Can we shock the world by providing another David and Goliath match up?
