Can Odemwingie saves Nigeria from World Cup Exit?

I expect Nigeria to play totally different than in the first match -- this time they could be the one to sit back and wait to break on Bosnia-Herzegovina.

In such a setup, where Bosnians supposed to have more possession, the key could be the transition from attack to defense, and here is where the Dragons have to find a solution for John Obi Mikel and his ability to play out to the rest of the team.

On the other hand, it will be the same with Miralem Pjanic, so the match-up between these two players will be interesting to see.

Osaze Odemwingie came on against Iran and was easily one of the better players for Nigeria on the night. His speed may be going a little bit, but he still has a quickness of thought that is sharper than most on his side.

 Not to mention that he is two-footed and can play from almost everywhere. Keshi is mulling the idea of starting him, possibly over Ramon Azeez. Most back home believe it would be the best move for Nigeria. Odemwingie could just be the creative spark that Nigeria so desperately missed against Iran.
