Russia 2018: Underdogs Tag Will Spur Super Eagles To Victory.... William Troost-Ekong

By Abayomi Footballgalore Chelsea star Victor Moses has expressed his satisfaction with the Mercure Hotel in Kaliningrad, where the Super Eagles will stay for the next two days, ahead of their World Cup opener against Croatia. The Mercure Hotel is located at Ozernyy Pr-Zd., Kaliningrad, Kaliningradskaya oblast' and overlooks a big lake to give the players a great view all day long. In an interview with the official website of Fifa following a three-hour flight from Essentuki on Thursday, Moses said : ''It’s a nice setup''. Meanwhile, William Troost-Ekong has welcomed the tag of being underdogs at the World Cup, saying it might actually work in their favour. ''Many of us will be playing at the World Cup for the first time, but this may work in our favour, as we may be underrated and so might surprise some teams. We will play without fear,'' the Bursaspor defender said. Of course, the Super Eagles have tasted defeat in their opening matches at the World Cup but they have won all their first games against European opposition. In 1994, they beat Bulgaria 3-0 and four years later in France they came from behind to beat Spain 3-2, with Sunday Oliseh netting the winner from distance.
