"I'm very disappointed but life goes on". Brown Ideye on World Cup exclusion

Nigerian/ Dynamo Kiev forward, Brown Ideye has taken to his twitter account to vent his disappointment after he was excluded in the provisional squad for the 2014 FIFA World Cup.

“I’m very disappointed, but life does not end here. Life goes on.” He tweeted.

Super Eagles midfielder, John Ogu took the exclusion in good faith. He didn’t only wish the squad the best in the tournament, he also implored Nigerians to support and pray for them.

“Gutted I didn’t make the preliminary Squad. Nigeria is blessed with a lot of players. We all can’t make the list. Every player wants to be at the World Cup.

I want to thank Coach Keshi for opportunities he gave me. I remain grateful for all, for he made my dream come true as a player to serve my great nation, which I’m always proud of. Thanks everyone for your support. Please let’s pray for the lads. Let’s support the team as much as we can because I believe in the managers and the squad selected. We are family. I’ll come back stronger. And also thanks to the Football Federation NFF for their support to the Countries Football… God Bless the Super Eagles”.
