Super Eagles coach, Stephen Keshi, has dropped forward Victor Moses from the starting eleven in the crucial World Cup match against Bosnia-Herzegovina.
Also dropped from the starting team against Iran are Ramon Azeez and the injured Godfrey oboabona, who will be replaced by team captain, Joseph Yobo.
Osaze Odemwingie takes the place of Ramon Azeez, while Michael Babatunde replaces Victor Moses.
The Super Eagles have not won a World Cup game since winning Bulgaria 1-0 on June 19, 1998 at the tournament hosted and won by France.

I like it that Odewingie started in this match in which his goal gave Nigeria the lone goal victory over Bosnia. Our Nigeria players need to put more bite into the game in other to beat Algentina or pull a draw to be sure of a place in the second and or knock out round.Goodluck to the Super Eagles. Keep it up Couch keshi.
