當地媒體的聲音

"After two games that had raised many hopes against Honduras (3-0) and Switzerland (5-2), the Blues have delivered a much more laborious partition Wednesday night against Ecuador (0-0). Is this serious before the eighth-final against Nigeria, Monday? Not really." - L'Equipe.

法國《隊報》：“小組賽前兩場，法國分別以3-0和5-2大勝洪都拉斯和瑞士，外界也普遍看好法國隊，然而隨后周三晚與厄瓜多爾的小組賽收官之戰，雙方0-0互交白卷，藍衣軍團的表現不盡如人意。本周一，巴西世界杯1/8決賽，法國對陣尼日利亞，這樣的結果意味著高盧雄雞面臨的形勢嚴峻？也不見得。”

"It is not the best of news for a Nigerian team that zoomed into the second round of the World Cup with France as their next opposition.One of the new kids on the block, Babatunde Michel has been ruled out of the remaining matches of the World Cup due to injury. But you can't knock Babatunde for staying down longer than most after the sickening injury which forced him from the field immediately. It is understood the 21-year-old will have surgery on his arm and be sidelined for his team's do or die match against France." - Vanguard.

尼日利亞《Vanguard》報：“對于跌跌撞撞挺入世界杯決賽第二輪的尼日利亞而言，法國隊是他們的下個對手的確算不上什么好消息。作為世界杯新兵的巴巴頓德（Babatunde Michel）已經因傷無緣世界杯剩余比賽。他在上一場與阿根廷的比賽中被隊友擊中手臂，傷勢嚴重，立即被換下場。據悉，這位21歲的球員將做手臂手術，也只能坐在替補席上觀看他的球隊與法國隊的生死決戰。”

Key battle: Bacary Sagna vs Ahmed Musa

關鍵對位：巴卡里·薩尼亞VS 艾哈邁德-穆薩

When Musa scored twice against Argentina, the CSKA man became the first Nigerian to grab a brace in a World Cup finals fixture. He also scored the country's fastest ever goal when he netted after four minutes. Musa will be without strike partner Babatunde Michel, but he operates mainly on the left and will give Sagna his fair share of problems, should he hit the same levels of form as Wednesday's performance.

在尼日利亞與阿根廷的小組賽中，穆薩獨中兩元，這位效力于奧斯科中央陸軍的球員挑起大梁，成為把尼日利亞送入十六強的絕對功臣。同時，他還打入尼日利亞的最快進球，僅僅開場四分鐘，穆薩就為球隊扳平比分。在與法國一戰中，穆薩沒有鋒線搭檔巴巴頓德的支持，但是他習慣于活躍在左邊路，一定會給法國隊的薩尼亞制造不小的麻煩，穆薩也一定會拿出對陣阿根廷時的完美表現。
