Odemwingie Hints Referee Failed To Award Penalty To Nigeria

Stoke City forward Peter Odemwingie has commented on the incident involving him and Manchester United&rsquo;s France international Patrice Evra during the game between Nigeria - France on Monday afternoon in Brasilia.<br /><br />The 32 - year - old has suggested that Evra deserved a red card, after he was held by the defender in the penalty box, but the offense was not spotted by American referee, Mark Geiger.<br /><br />&ldquo;You can see why I couldn&rsquo;t jump and also couldn&rsquo;t fall. If I do that to him at old Trafford? Penalty and probably red card,&rdquo; 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&nbsp; 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 />
