Shuaibu Amodu, Nigeria coach
This is not a particularly easy draw as many people are suggesting. We have respect for every team in the pool. Tunisia are always hard nuts to crack and Kenya did well to qualify from a group that also included Zimbabwe. As for Mozambique, they might have ended up with eight points while we had 18, but they will fight very hard in the third phase and could prove to be the toughest scrappers in there.

Daniel Amokachi, former Nigeria star
Against North African sides like Tunisia, anything can happen. Even though it is generally accepted that while the game is declining over there and our football is on the rise, we cannot afford to take them lightly. That is also not to say that we will underestimate the other teams in our group, Kenya and Mozambique, because they have both made remarkable progress. The last time, we made a big mistake when we looked down on teams like Angola and Rwanda and paid dearly for it by not playing at the 2006 World Cup in Germany. I know the players will be delighted with this group but we all know that we have to sit up and focus because qualification will not come easy, not just for us but for the other so-called favourites in the other groups.

Francis Kimanzi, Kenya coach
We have a great team, a group of players willing to take their nation to greater heights. I do believe this team can make it to the World Cup but the manager and staff of the FA must be sensitive to their needs as players and make sure they are well taken care of.

Humberto Coelho, Tunisia coach
It's tough. Nigeria are a great team, and the only thing we can do is prepare ourselves well. Mozambique and Kenya are two teams who won't be easy to beat at home either. The Nigerians are very solid. They have some superb players and they put together quite a few wins in the second round. It's all down to us, though, and we shouldn't be focusing solely on Nigeria. We can't afford to drop any points against the other teams and we'll need to show a lot of determination in every game.

Radhi Jaidi, Tunisia defender
We are in a good group. I feared we could have ended up in tougher one. Nigeria are a good team but we know how to play against them and get maximum points. I think we have a fair chance to reach the finals for a fourth successive time.
