"I saw a very good Nigeria team, which was neither irresistible nor unbeatable. Algeria can nurse a lot of regrets because it was them who gave Nigeria the victory. "
"Algeria's qualification for the World Cup is still possible because I do not see Nigeria winning its next three games."
"It is clear that Algeria has lost its jokers but I would say that the qualification remains possible. However, the team will have to win its next four games. Also, I do not see the Nigerian team taking nine points in the next three games. "Cameroon has the means to beat them even in Nigeria," he added.
Nigeria leads Group B with 6points followed by Cameroon 2points, while Algeria and Zambia are leveled on a point each.
