The duo of Victor Moses and Ejike Uzoenyi were among players who did well during Super Eagles’ training on Tuesday in London.
The team will tackle Scotland in an international friendly on Wednesday at the home ground of Fulham FC - Craven Cottage.
All the players seemed determined to convince coach Stephen Keshi that they are ready for Brazil, but home based winger, Uzoenyi shone like a million star, and same for Ramon Azeez, Michael Uchebo and Moses, while the regulars did not fail to impress with skipper Joseph Yobo showing that he was still the commander in the defence line.
Keshi said after the training that the players needed such a (rigorous) session to re-energise them and get them ready for the task of playing against the best in the world in Brazil.
He said the World Cup is not for kids nor is it a tea party and the fittest players only will be selected for the mundial.
Central defender, Azubuike Egwuekwe says the World Cup has effectively started for him.
“My brother the training was tough and good”, he said of the event that was held at the Fulham training ground under very chilly conditions with temperature reading 13 degrees celcius and the rain drizzling throughout the duration of the training.

  Oil firm Royal Dutch Shell was told a pipeline had reached the end of its life years before it spilled up to 500,000 barrels of oil, according to court documents seen by the BBC. Two spills in 2008 affected about 35 sq miles (90 sq km) in southern Nigeria, according to a group suing Shell. The area included sensitive mangroves. Shell "dismisses the suggestion that it has knowingly continued to use a pipeline that is not safe to operate," it told the BBC . The emails, letters and internal reports submitted to a court in London show that senior Shell employees were concerned before the spill that Shell's pipelines in the area had reached the end of their lives and needed replacing to avoid danger to lives, the environment and the economy.
