Mugulusi during a press conference said they are fired up for the game.

"We are ready, everyone is in shape, and we're mentally good. We've tried to put what the coach wants into practice. I think we can overcome Nigeria in the quarter-finals.

"We are told and we have been assisted by the coaches and other players who visited our camps like former Cranes goalkeeper and captain Dennis Onyango and former Hippos captain Gavin Kizito to eat the grass so I think tomorrow we will eat the grass.

"In this team, everyone is a captain. It's not only me so it's not something big though I am the one who wears the armband everyone is a leader in our team", he told CAF media.
