Super eagles are not afraid of Argentina says keshi.

coach Stephen Keshi has reacted to the comments made by Argentina
coach Alejandro Sabella who claimed that La Albiceleste would be
feared by rivals at the World Cup in Brazil.
Argentina and Nigeria are in Group F alongside Bosnia-Herzegovina and
Iran in the World Cup. While Bosnia are making their debut at this
year's event, Nigeria and Argentina have met thrice at the World Cup
level since 1994.
Sabella is banking on the magic of the barcelona's stiker Lionel Messi
and an array of defenders, but Keshi would rather have the battle done
on the pitch instead of naming any star player.
"I don't fear people, I respect people. Fear is not in my lineage, I
don't see my team afread of any other team at the World Cup.When we go
to Brazil in June, you all will see what will happen. Let's just leave
it that way," the Africa Cup of Nations winner said in Lagos on
Tuesday.
"We will take every match as it comes. The important thing is to have
our players ready for the tournament."
Keshi, who was a guest of Friesland Campina WAMCO Plc at the unveiling
of a campaign in support of the Super Eagles ahead of the World Cup,
played the lead role in the new Peak Milk TV commercial.
The tactician was recently queried by the Nigeria Football Federation
for attending a press conference in Lagos without its permission, but
on Tuesday, Keshi claimed the football body knew about his movement.
"NFF is aware of my activities in Lagos. Peak is the official milk of
the Super Eagles so my employers are aware of my presence at this
event," he said.
"I've worked with kids in the United States so it wasn't new for me to
work with them in the TV commercial. It's a lot easier working with
kids; they give you everything you ask of them.
"I always try to avoid doing TV commercials. The last one I did was 25
years ago, with the late Rashidi Yekini. But this time, I couldn't say
no.
"I didn't know about the importance of milk until I became Mali coach
for two years. In every household in Mali , the first thing they take
in the morning is milk. When I went back to the US , I asked my doctor
about this practice and he told me how important it is
