Nigeria Vs. Iceland Live Stream

Iceland playmaker Gylfi Sigurdsson, who recovered from injury in time for the World Cup and played against Argentina, is 100 percent fit, he said.

With that second goal the Super Eagles and all the Nigerian fans in the crowd were soaring. At the end of June. Despite there formidable World Cup record against European opposition, their was in fact only one previous meeting between these two sides – a friendly in 1981 – and Iceland won 3-0.

Iceland were still offering plenty in the final third but Nigeria were looking risky on the counter-attack, and Wilfred Ndidi nearly added a second with a 30-yard strike which was tipped over the crossbar.

The Super Eagles have Ahmed Musa to thank for that.

“Once I beat the goalkeeper, I wanted to shoot, but I saw the two defenders on the line and I knew that if I rushed the shot I could miss it, or they could block it”.

The World Cup match between Nigeria and Iceland will be broadcast live on FOX.

GW: Just the technical skill required for the first touch that Musa had to then stop that ball with sort of a jab of his foot and then have the patience to wait for.

Nevertheless, he has charged the team to work on setpieces – through which they have conceded a number of goals recently, while also urging them to be more tactically disciplined.

Nigeria’s next opponent is Argentina and Musa has played well against them before.

“Scoring against Argentina is not that hard for me”, he said. “We know what the stakes are – we have to win”.

“We’ve played Croatia four times in four years”. “We’ve still got a shot”, said Hlyur Gudjonsson, Icelandic Trade Commissioner to North America and the Consul General for New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Rhode Island.

“And when I transferred to Leicester, I played against Barcelona and he’s on the pitch and I scored another two goals”.

Nigeria will be looking to avoid all these calculations by beating Lionel Messi and his compatriots outright, however. Even so, he will have to give things a little nudge.

Iceland coach Heimir Hallgrimsson declared his side were still in the race for a place in the World Cup last 16 despite Friday’s 2-0 loss to Nigeria.

Nigeria will face Argentina in their final group match on Tuesday (Wednesday NZT) in St Petersburg.
