"I Have A 23 Men List In My Head." Says Steven

Super Eagles’ head coach Stephen Keshi says he
already has an idea of the players who will make the
final 23-man list to the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil.
Keshi said this on Friday after the Nigerian senior
male football team had their first work-out at the
Philadelphia Eagles Stadium in Philadelphia, U.S.
He however said he would still wait till the last minute
before making it public.
The media reports that the final day for the
submission of the list to world football governing body
FIFA was June 2.
Keshi, who nonetheless said he was thrilled by the
level of tactical and technical depth displayed by the
players, said there was a need to be cautious.
“I have an idea of those who will go with us to Brazil
but we will still wait till the last minute before we
announce the list,” he was quoted as saying by the
team’s Media Officer, Ben Alaiya.
Keshi said he was delaying naming the list so as to
have a second look at those who are not measuring
up.
The national team had their first training session on
Friday morning in Philadelphia and were scheduled for
another one later in the evening at 4.30 pm local time,
which was 9.30 pm Nigerian time.
The media reports that the 2014 FIFA World Cup is
scheduled for June 12 to July 13, with Nigeria in
Group F alongside Argentina, Iran and Bosnia-
Herzegovina.
