        They lack rhythm, they need to step up in midfield to get a result.

        Naija 2, Iceland 1. They only need to keep their concentration especially in defense and believe in their own ability to win the game by going forward. Try long shots

        Hopeful that they will improve after the backlash following their inept performance in the first match.

        The population of #Iceland is 570x smaller than that of #Nigeria. But #Iceland goes into this game as favorites?!🙉 #Russia2018
