We will beat Argentina again ―Troost-Ekong

Bursaspor star William Troost-Ekong believes the Super Eagles will beat two-time world champions Argentina after they were paired with the South Americans in Friday evening’s World Cup draw in Moscow.

Nigeria are in Group F involving Iceland and Croatia, with two-time winners, Argentina, seen as group favourites.

On November 14, the Super Eagles came from behind to beat Argentina 4-2 in an international friendly in Krasnodar.

And Troost-Ekong played a key role in the win, logging ninety minutes at the Stadion FK Krasnodar turf, despite going the distance against

Algeria four days earlier in a World Cup qualifier.

”We just beat them 4-2, Okay, Messi was not there. But I really saw Di Maria, Agüero, Mascherano and Dybala on the field. A group with Argentina? Bring it on,” said Troost-Ekong to AD.nl.
