Gibraltar keeper trolls Brazil, wants to concede less than 7 goals vs. Germany

Gibraltar goalkeeper Jordan Perez knows his side will need a minor miracle to keep Friday's Euro 2016 qualifying match against Germany even remotely respectable.

At least he's having some fun with it - at Brazil's expense.

"I'll be pleased when we concede less than seven goals," Perez told Sport Bild, as quoted by ESPN FC.

"We'd be able to say that we are better than Brazil (who lost 7-1 to Germany in the World Cup semifinals)," the goalkeeper added.

Gibraltar began its qualifying campaign with consecutive 7-0 defeats against Poland and Ireland before a 3-0 loss against Georgia last time out. Now they get the defending World Cup champions.

Translation: it's going to be ugly.
