CSKA Moscow of Russia defender, Chidi Odiah, has described the
2010 African Cup of Nations draw, which pits Nigeria with Egypt,
Mozambique and Benin Republic in Group C, as good.
While also looking ahead of the World Cup in South Africa, Ordia
underlined the importance of good preparations and told brilafm.net
that Nigeria could possibly win the African trophy at the end of
the January event in Angola.
“The group is a good one for us. You can see what happened
during the qualifiers. There is no small team now.
“Egypt are champions and it’s a tough one. We are going
to the Nations Cup with great countries and, in all, we want to
win the Nations Cup. We just have to fight and go as far as we can
to the finals and, if possible, win the Cup,” he enthused.

Cup ticket
Charlton Athletic defender, Sam Sodje, has expressed profound delight
at the Super Eagles’ qualification for the 2010 World Cup
in South Africa and admitted that playing in the Mundial was the
big dream of any footballer worth his salt.
Although Sodje was not a part of the historic team that beat Kenya
3-2 in Nairobi, the former Brentford Town and Reading star said
during a live telephone interview on Sports Radio 88.9 Brila FM
that he followed the Eagles flight in his spirit.
“I wasn’t there physically, but I was there spiritually,
praying for the team. It’s a dream come true for these players.
It was also a happy day for me because, on the same day, I scored
for my club as well and everyone is happy. We are in the World Cup.
“That is the biggest thing. Even if you play in the Serie
A, Premiership, La Liga, the World Cup is the biggest stage.
“Hopefully, I can go with the team. If not, I’ll still
be happy that the team are there,” Sodje noted.
