The Super Eagles take to the pitch against the Fiery Ones on Saturday to kick off their sixth World Cup campaign
Having stated on previous occasions that his team are not ready for the 2018 Fifa World Cup, Gernot Rohr is confident that Nigeria will make it in time for their opening Group D clash against Croatia.
The Super Eagles head into the global showpiece in uninspiring fashion, with the record of their final three friendlies reading two losses and a draw.
But the German tactician hinges his hope on the ability of his team 'to rise to the occasion together', and is confident of the three-time African champions handing Zlatko Dalic's men a tough test at the Kaliningrad Arena on Saturday.
