Ethiopia's top striker, Getaneh Kebede, has sent signals of what to expect in the first leg of the 2014 World Cup play off against Nigeria in Addis Ababa on October 13, warning that the Super Eagles will have themselves to blame if they under rate the Walya Antelopes.
"Most pundits might already have given the game to Nigeria but it will be to their own detriment if they underrate us. It will be a tough game but we are determined to create history by doing what no one expects.
We are just two games away from the World Cup and we will give it our all to try and make our dreams come true," Kebede told supersport.com Sunday.
Kebede is upbeat and looking forward to the do or die match against Nigeria in the play off after he missed the decider against Central Africa Republic after getting an injury in training.
"I felt so bad when I missed the match against CAR but I was proud of my team mates who played their hearts out. It has been a long journey for us and sometimes it feels like a dream. I am fully recovered and fit once again and my thoughts are on our next match against Nigeria. We all know they are African champions and the last time we played against them in the 2013 AFCON they beat us and that is what we want to pay back to them."
"The team spirit in the Walya squad is amazing and everyone believes we can make it if we give 100 percent and are all determined to play our hearts," he added.
