Ex-junior International, Nduka Ugbade has expressed fears on the qualification of the Super Eagles from the preliminary group stage for the 2014 World Cup billed for Brazil.

He stated that the team's nature of complacency might dampen their chances of booking the sole ticket from the group.

He charged Siasia and his lads to win all their games in the group in order to avoid another struggling as is being experienced now.

"It is not the grouping that is my fear but our nature of being complacent. Knowing who we are, we might tend to believe that it is an easy group that we can just walk over.

"In a group like this, the shocking thing will be when we don't win all our home and away matches, and if the Malawians manage to squeeze out same points from us, then the same thing we are facing now will be our lot again," Ugbade said

Asked if he is optimistic the team will qualify from the group, the China '85 FIFA U-17 World Cup winner said, "I am very optimistic, only if we win our games as they come. Not we saying we will qualify all over the media and not on the pitch of play."
