By the way, if you're a professional burgler,then by all means, Iceland is the place to go tonight. I hear half of the country is in Russia and the other half will be too drunk if they manage to get a result against Argentina.

Abeg someone should help me with that over sense dey worry me meme.

Our only hope now is the unpredictabity of Eagles - hoping they turn up the kind of performance vs Argentina friendly.

Been super occupied but I am back.... Today is the day....

Russia 2018 WC Updates


Half time stats #ARGISL

Look at the total passes for Iceland... Heavens!!! shocked. So low yet they have a goal...


45 in all. Which means they would know this when facing us. It would be shocking to gift then possession and counter them always. They won't know what hit them.

Portugal had less than 50% of Spain's total passes, but still yet, got their results.


Bottom line, Possession football isn't the game anymore. Keeping the ball too much bores the holder.

I hope we score a very early goal today. like in the first 5 minutes.

1-0 with early goal is the worst. Tension go kill people

Football is fun though, but we shouldn't ever pray or wish Iceland get even a Point in this Match.

If the Argies win this Match and the subsequent one, it's gonna be good for the Eagles.

They are the Favorite to win the Group, hence we should support them to beat the two other Group Opponent messilessly.

Iceland are matching Argentina by being direct and physical very well organised they have so far denied Messi space to operate.

Good game Iceland have come to play.

Iceland can beat Argentina by getting goals from set pieces. They have turned throw in to set piece not pretty but very effective.

Argentina will not find this easy, we should learn from this how we can beat Argentina.

Argentina have too more short players when the ball in the air they struggle. They also don't like the physicality Iceland are pressing them and not allowing them to play tip tap and thier normal passing game. Argentina are lacking creativity to deal with the physicality of Iceland.I think we could be in for a BIG UPSET

Best game I have I watched so far Spain vs Portugal

Argentina with Messi, Aguero and Di Maria are finding it hard to break down Iceland. Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Argentina needs better presence at the wings, Meza and Di Maria have contributed nothing in this game. Their most tricky winger Fazio is playing as a fullback and Dybala is on the bench. All they need to unlock this Iceland team is one well orchestrated counterattack from the wings.

to get him contained just give him one man to mark him. he only thrives when they're coming in numbers
Ndidi would do a great job in that regard.

Messi's body language appears like that of a guy who doesn't want to be there. He's just going through the motion.

Thankfully they won't play this way against us. They will see us as equals and will come out and play leaving space for the likes of Moses and Iwobi to exploit.
