Ahead of Germany’s defence of the crown they won three years ago in Brazil; Coach Joachim Loew has shared his thoughts writing off Nigeria as a strong contender in Russia.

Germany will be in action in the World Cup 2018 in Russia and Loew while speaking on their chances and options available to him ahead of the championship also shed lights on teams he expect to do well at the mundial.

“We know some very good teams from all over the World are coming, like in Africa Morocco did well in the qualifying series and they will be the team most people would be expecting to pull surprises from Africa,” he said while discussing potential giant killers in Russia next year.

Although Nigeria were the first African nation to qualify for the World Cup, Morocco just like Nigeria stayed undefeated throughout the series but unlike Nigeria they didn’t concede a single goal.
