Coach Samson Siasia has said he will not go for anything less than gold, as that seem to be the ultimate thing for a team he guided to win silver during the Beijing 2008 Olympics. Since the Atlanta 1996 Olympics, the best performance the Nigerian side have had at the Olympics was a silver, while the worst was their inability to qualify for the London 2012 Olympics.

Siasia’s side will have to battle with host Brazil to realize his dream of winning the Olympic gold

Samson Siasia’s greatest threat in realizing this dream, are the Brazilian side whom are yearning to win an Olympic gold in men football for the first time. The Brazilian may lose any other gold in the Olympics, but they will be out to win the Olympic gold.

Unfortunately, Nigeria was one of the problems they encountered in the Atlanta 1996 Olympics, when Kanu’s golden goal sent them parking in the semifinal courtesy of the golden-goal rule which Kanu got after regulation time.

Siasia’s team will be aiming to battle a Brazilian side that have won two of the three most recognized FIFA’s football tournament for men, and are seriously desperate to win the third which fortunately is the Olympic tournament for men.
