Nigeria had missed the 2006 World Cup in Germany and so the expectations for the Super Eagles 2010 squad were high. The Nigeria Squad 2010 World Cup were seen as the most likely African team that could reach the semi-finals.

It did not go to plan as the Nigeria Squad 2010 World Cup were knocked out in the group stage. They lost 1-0 to Argentina in the first game.
