Brazil 2014: Argentina are familiar foes-Keshi

SUPER Eagles gaffer, Stephen Keshi is on cloud nine over the 2014 FIFA World Cup draws which pitched Nigeria in the same group with Argentina, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Iran saying that playing Argentina is a good one.
“The Argentina/Nigeria fixture is becoming a recurring decimal because we are meeting at every World Cup. It’s good. We will see how it goes this time,” the man who coached Togo to the 2006 World Cup in Germany said immediately after the ceremony in Salvador.
The former coach of Mali however, said the two other group opponents  Bosnia-Herzegovina and Iran are not known but admitted that their qualification for the World Cup is a pointer to the fact that they are good sides. 
“Not knowing Bosnia is a difficult thing but they are a good side. I think I’ve seen them once or twice on television. Iran? I’ve never seen them (play). For them to be here means they are a good team,” said
Keshi who captained Nigeria to the 1994 World Cup in the United States.
Nigeria will begin their campaign at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil on June 16 against Iran at Arena da Baixada, Curitiba.
