Pele, Ronaldo, Maradona, Hurst And Mackem Slayer?

The world is our stage and we are merely players. Shola is going to Brazil and who is to say he won't write his name in the history books? Nigeria head coach Stephen Keshi has told the Newcastle United striker that he is going to the World Cup in Brazil The veteran striker scored a superb goal and set up another as Nigeria drew 2-2 with Italy in a friendly at Fulham’s Craven Cottage on Monday, and let me remind you . that was Italy! Only Alan Shearer has scored more European goals for Newcastle than Shola Ameobi, because he LOVES the new challenge. Ameobi has hardly played a competitive game for the Super Eagles since winning his first cap this year. But Nigeria head coach Stephen Keshi has promised to stick with the squad that won the country’s place in Brazil for next summer. Keshi: “This is the fifth or sixth time I’m taking the same team to play a game. Most of them are going to be there (in Brazil), if there’s no injuries. I pray there’s no injuries. ” Ameobi and his team-mates’ performance against the Italians was even more impressive given their lack of preparation. Keshi revealed: “We flew to Britain right after playing a World Cup qualifying match and played Italy just 48 hours after the game. We did all this without sleeping.” PREMIER LEAGUE FIXTURES .
