The Super Eagles have quickly taken the next step towards it World Cup preparation by arriving in the United States city of Philadelphia for its next round of friendly against another World Cup squard.
In a carefully scripted World Cup plan by the Nigeria Football Federation, the Super Eagles arrived Philadelphia with all the 30 invited players at about 3:20pm local time, about 8:20 pm Nigerian time aboard a British Airways plane after seven hours of flight.
And with Head Coach Stephen Keshi expected to name the final 23 man list in the next 48 hours. The players have been very businesslike in their mood trying to impress the coach in the eleventh hour. Keshi too seem to want a level playing field as he has scheduled twice a day training for all the players to prove themselves.
The first of the training session will take place by 8am Philadelphia time this morning, while the second will take place at 4:30pm same day. This training regime is expected to be sustained ahead of the naming of the 23-man list for the Mundial in Brazil. The team is putting up at the Westin Hotel and Resort in the center of Philadelphia, an exotic hotel described as serene and a delight by team psychologist, Dr Robinson Okosun.
