The Nigerian Senate has again urged the Super Eagles to go all out and beat the Blues of France in the FIFA World Cup 2014 Round of 16 match. President of the Nigerian Senate David Mark said in a statement that the Super Eagles and officials should cultivate and sustain the team spirit they had displayed so far in the tournament in Brazil, reports Xinhua.

Mark, who had earlier led the federal government delegation to the opening ceremony, showered encomiums on the Super Eagles for their successes and commitment to national duty.

He reminded them that they were not just flying the Nigerian flag but that of the African, a task, he said, should be defended with honour and dignity.
