All things being equal, out of favour Super
Eagles players like controversial Osaze
Odemwingie, Taye Taiwo and Ikechukwu Uche
may have another chance to play for the
national team ahead of the 2014 World Cup
scheduled for Brazil.
This follows Eagles’ head coach, Stephen
Keshi’s disclosure to supersport.com that he
may extend invitation to the trio to the
national team ahead of the 2014 Fifa World
Cup in Brazil.
The “Big Boss” as Keshi is fondly called has
now revealed that he has not shut the door
completely on any individual as he begins
preparations for the World Cup.
“Contrary to what some people think, I have
not shut the door on players like Osaze (Peter
Odemwingie), Ike Uche and even Taiye Taiwo.
They are Nigerians and are eligible to play for
the Super Eagles at all times,” Keshi said.
The gaffer however stated that they will only
get a look in if they “prove themselves.”
“When I was in the national team, nobody had
an automatic shirt. I was the captain but I did
not play in all the games.
“Everyday in training, it was war. We fought
and sweated to show the coaches that we were
worthy of the shirt. That is the norm now as
well,” he said.

Good one!
