"It is important for us not to think we can win the World Cup," Rohr said on Saturday.

"We are not among the favourites. If you look at the FIFA rankings, you will see there are teams who are better than us," he added.

Nigeria are at the 47th spot in the FIFA rankings for the month of May. They are sixth in Africa.
