Peter Odemwingie is considering his international future after Nigeria’s second round exit at the World Cup. Odemwingie scored the only goal as Nigeria beat Bosnia-Hercegovina in a Group F game. But the 32-year-old says the loss to France on June 30, his 67th cap, could be his final Nigeria appearance.
“Sometimes you just feel like you’ve come a circle and I don’t know whether I’ll play on for Nigeria. It’s not a decision I will rush into but then, you need to make an honest one. I am committed to the country’s cause. Right now I’m not too sure. It might be but it might not.
“You need to be honest with yourself and your country. There are few people I need to talk to because I can’t be selfish. Nigeria has always meant everything to me. Despite everything I’ve been through, wearing the national colours has definitely been one the highlights of my career.”
After a goal-scoring debut against Kenya in Lagos in 2002, he has been widely regarded as one of the most committed and dedicated players to have represented his country. As well as winning silver medal at the 2008 Olympic Games, he was part of the Nigeria squad that finished in third place at the 2004, 2006 and 2010 Africa Cup of Nations. – BBc.
