Victor Moses : We Don't Want To Play Against Messi, Argentina Scared Of Nigeria

Looking ahead to the 2018 World Cup cracker between Nigeria and Argentina at Krestovsky Stadium, Saint Petersburg, Super Eagles top man Victor Moses has posited that the two-time world champions are already quaking in their boots before the game on June 26, 2018.

The Blues number fifteen has a valid point as the Super Eagles thrashed Argentina 4-2 in a showcase friendly in Krasnodar last month, with Gernot Rohr missing the services of almost half of the players in his ideal starting line-up in Victor Moses, Odion Ighalo, Moses Simon, Elderson Echiejile and Eddy Onazi.

''We keep getting Argentina for some reason. We don’t want to play against Messi, but it is what it is. We’ve got to go and play our football and see what happens,'' Moses was quoted as saying by Mirror UK.

''After what Iceland did last year [beating England in the last 16 of the Euros], football nowadays, there’s no easy game.

''Argentina are going to be scared of us as well. It’s all about football at the end of the day.''

The 26-year-old Moses has World Cup experience under his belt as he was a member of the Super Eagles squad at Brazil 2014, where he played two games against Iran and France.
