On Saturday when Croatia and Nigeria square up inside the Kaliningrad Stadium, it will be a mismatch, an uneven contest with the array of stars the Europeans have in their squad.
In contrast, the Super Eagles will be lightweight but with a heart big enough to punch above above their weight and that’s what many expect.
One of such proponents is former International, Godwin Okpara, who has urged Gernot Rohr and the players to go toe to toe against the European.
Speaking with Brila.net ahead of the game on Saturday, Okpara noted that there might be some air of apprehension in the team over the stature of the opponent, but wants the Nigerian team to feel no pressure.
