Nigeria captain Joseph Yobo says he would trade his 100th
international cap for a win over Argentina on Wednesday.
Yobo is on the verge (98 caps) of becoming the first
Nigerian player to hit the century mark. But the 33-year-old insists he is not
carried away by the publicity the milestone attracted.
The skipper insists that his immediate concern is to
ensure that Nigeria book a safe passage to the next round, with a win over
Argentina on Wednesday.
"It’s good news that I will reach that milestone but
what is uppermost in my mind is for the team to win and for us to advance to
the next stage. The rest will be a bonus," Yobo said on Monday.
The Super Eagles have already arrived in Porto Alegre for
Wednesday's fixture which will be played in the Estádio José Pinheiro Borba at
5:00pm Nigerian time.
