Czech Republic suffered the biggest loss in their history to Australia last week, as they were pummelled 0 – 4 but have gained their confidence back with a win over Nigeria, one of the powerhouses of African football. Despite this match-winner in the Czechs victory over Nigeria in the pre-World Cup friendly on Wednesday, Tomas Kalas, has insisted that the Super Eagles are a better team than the Aussies.
”After what was written about us after Australia, even though the criticism was largely deserved, we had to handle it somehow, and Nigeria was a better team than Australia even though we did not play on such a good pitch.” Central defender Kalas’ 25th minute strike against the Super Eagles was his second international goal.
