Nigeria was the last-minute runner-up of Group F with one win, one draw and one loss. This year at Brazil World Cup, Nigeria is trying to reach their first World Cup quarterfinal. They reached the round of 16 twice before in 1994 and 1998, but fell both to European opponents. They are looking to turn this pattern around with their match against France. Tune into the live streams to see if they will be able to defeat the European soccer powerhouse!

This year turned out to be a good year for African nations, with all-time record of two African countries being represented in the round of 16. Algeria is the other African nation from Group H.

But the opponent that Nigeria is facing is formidable to say the least. According to Reuters, France has had more attempts at goal this World Cup. The number stands at 62.  

Nigeria should have no reason to be intimidated by France though. They only have met once before and Nigeria won the game 1-0 in 2009.  

While the obvious favorite is France, the underdog Nigeria will have many supporters in the crowd

One interesting fact about this game: it will be refereed by American Mark Geiger, announced by FIFA the day before the match. ESPN commentators particularly enjoyed remarking that Mark Geiger, when not refereeing is a math teacher in New Jersey. At least that means that the 39-year-old referee will be able to keep the numbers straight.
