Having lost all previous four meetings with the South American giants at the quadrennial tourney, the former goalkeeper feels Gernot Rohr’s men have what it takes to break the jinx against the Argentine side.
“We need to believe that they can do it [against Argentina],” Idah told Goal.
“We just need to go out and play the way we played to beat Iceland. Look at the Germans, Argentines and Spaniards - when they come to the World Cup they just believe they can win the tournament.
“Why can’t we just believe that we can do the same. What is the difference between us and them? That’s what they have against us. If Brazil, Germany or Argentina loses, everybody will be in huge shock but not when Nigeria loses.
“It should not be that way. We need to begin to believe in ourselves and the African identity and I believe we will go further than anyone thinks.”
