Super Eagles group D opponents Croatia lose to Peru Croatia lost 2-0 in a friendly match against Peru played in Miami, USA. The European side fielded a strong lineup but were unable to break down their South American opponents. Wearing their newly unveiled kits, Croatia conceded the first goal in the 12th minute scored by Andre Carrillo. Peru doubled their lead in the 49th minute through Edison Flores as they held on for the win. Speaking after the game Head coach of Croatia, Zlatko Dalic admitted he side were inferior. “They are a World Cup team who played even more aggressive after taking the lead. Croatia then had to attack and watch out for counterattacks, and it was difficult to come back, especially following a defensive mistake.” We’ve lost too many balls, too often used back-passing, and the Peruvians were extremely quick to react” Dalic said Super Eagles group D opponents Iceland lose to Mexico Iceland lost 3-0 in a friendly match against Mexico played in San Fransico, USA. Iceland played in their new kits against Mexico who took the lead in the 37th minute through Marco Fabian, before Miguel Layun wrapped up the result for Mexico with a brace in the 65th and 90th minute.

I just hope you lot won't see this as a yardstick to assume we will beat both teams? The tournament itself is a different ball game altogether. Anyway, may their losing streak continue 32 Likes 1 Share |

So, because they lost a friendly and we won ours means we are sure of beating them? Better not focus on friendly o, cos it's called FRIENDLY. We should prepare well and try to get maximum points when it matters. Forget their friendly outings and focus on the teams' strengths and weaknesses. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Once we can sort out our defence and then Mikel and Ndidi can coordinate or midfield well, we can get it right. Go Eagles. 2 Likes |
