"I thought that Nigeria would beat Denmark. They have a strong team and there is a lot of quality there. We’re looking forward to facing them in the last four," explained Horst Hrubesch.
Nigeria became the first African side to win an Olympic Gold in Football in 1996. They also reached the final in 2008, but lost 1-0 to Argentina. Samson Siasia’s side topped their group, which featured Japan (5-4), Sweden (1-0) and Colombia (0-2).
