If I do that to him at old Trafford? Penalty and probably red card,” Peter Odemwingie said on <i>Twitter.</i><br /><br />For the third time in five tournaments, the Super Eagles failed to qualify for the last 8 after reaching the second round, following their 2 - 0 loss to France.<br /><br />The squad is scheduled to leave Brasilia on Wednesday for Nigeria. <br />
