I Want To Go To World Cup - Odemwingie by ochejoseph(m): 7:31am On Nov 28, 2013 |
Cardiff City striker, Osaze Odemwingie, has stated his desire to represent Nigeria at the Fifa World Cup in Brazil in 2014. The former West Brom striker, who has 55 caps for Nigeria was last involved with the national team about a year ago and has since been overlooked by coach Stephen Keshi. Odemwingie, who made a deadline day move from West Brom to Cardiff City in the summer, wants to join the likes of Gary Medel and Kim Bo- Kyung, whose countries, Chile and South Korea respectively, have both qualified to appear in Brazil. “I was in the Nigeria squad for the last World Cup finals in South Africa and I would love the chance to go again,” Odemwengie told Welsh portal, WalesOnline. Odemwingie believes if he has a massive season for Cardiff City, then he is in with a shout to be recalled by Nigeria to fight for a shirt in the team. “Why not? Certainly, I believe I have a chance and when it comes I would be delighted,” he said after Cardiff drew 2-2 with Manchester United last weekend. “I haven’t been selected lately because the coach is making changes to the squad. “It affected all the older players so the situation wasn’t friendly, but he has insisted that any player who is active and eligible will have a chance to play at the World Cup so we will see. “Playing for my country in Brazil would mean so much to me. Brazil is even more popular football-wise so it will be great if it happens.” Nigeria beat Ethiopia 4-1 on aggregate to qualify for the football fiesta for the fifth time in their history and Odemwingie feels it will take a lot of hard work if he is going to get into the squad. “Playing in the Premier League can only help me,” Odemwingie stated. “No player will be in the squad unless they do well for their various clubs. Odemwingie made his Nigeria debut in 2002 and has represented Nigeria at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. He was also a silver medallist at the Beijing 2008 Olympics with the Under-23 Olympic team who lost to Argentina in the gold medal match. www.tribune.com.ng/news2013/index.php/en/news/sports/item/27343-i-want-to-go-to-world-cup-odemwingie.html |

Now, he wants to humble himself. There's nothing as good as humility. This is a player that was in the starting 11 for his country but due to pride, he's now begging for a shirt. Anyways, let him prove himself and he may just be called backj. But i assure him that it won't be easy to break in like that. 1 Like |

Afam I can't agree with you More , he had a shirt anytime any day but felt he was irreplaceable, I can't believe he had such kind words for Keshi , Odemwingie Humbled at last |

ochejoseph:He really overstepped his boundary. At one point he was even asking the the captainship be given to him ahead of Yobo and Enyeami. Even Ejide that has sat on the Super Eagles bench will become a captain before Osazie. 1 Like |

Finally he has come to realize that the team is bigger than each individual that make up a team. I hope he improve on his performance for Cardiff City so that he would be call up. |

After all the gra-gra Odemwingie bro, do your thing at Cardiff, dislodge Campbell from being Cardiff's finest, and World cup semi-final is sure |
Re: I Want To Go To World Cup - Odemwingie by safarigirl(f): 9:38am On Nov 28, 2013 |
LMAO, you want to go to World Cup? And do what? Drag captain armband with Enyeama or drag coaching job with Keshi? Dear Osaze, even Ibrahimovic would like to go to World Cup, but is he going? NO. Don't worry sha, you can wait for a TWITTER World Cup. |

Nonso23: This further proves that no one is irreplaceable or indispensable.bros abeg just take style comot Victor Moses, even if Odemwingie makes the team, which is highly unlikely, he can't bench Moses, experience or not. The dude even said 'WHEN' he gets called up, not 'IF' for him mind he don even get shirt, choi! What a clown! People wey hustle to qualify never dey sure, na him dem wan give shirt? As per Messi or CR7? |
