The Stephen Keshi-led Eagles are placed second in Group A, with seven points behind South Africa, who have qualified for the tournament, courtesy of their 2-1 win over Sudan in Durban

Nigerian international, Ikechukwu Uche has vowed to fire on all cylinders against Real Madrid as Villarreal welcomes the Spanish giants this Saturday in a La Liga clash.

Ik Uche, Jonathan Pereira, Bruno Soriano and Jaume Costa scored for Villarreal, as the Rayo defence collapsed, following the rather harsh sending-off of Anaitz Arbilla

Speaking with sports journalists in Abuja at the weekend, the former Inter Milan defender warned against any bickering and distraction at this point in time when all hands should be on deck for the final preparations for the 2014 World Cup holding in Brazil as from June 12 this year

But Uche was dismissed with his second booking in the 85th, and five minutes later Castro headed home Didac Vila’s cross to level

Uche broke free in the area in the 10th minute and was brought down by goalkeeper Keylor Navas, who was shown a direct red card.
Bruno Soriano stroked in the penalty kick after Javi Jimenez replaced Navas

I’m not an exception to that. I believe If I’m consistent with my performance at Villarreal, I will be considered but that depends on what the coach wants
