Iceland vs. Nigeria 2018 World Cup

Iceland (0-1-0, 1 point) vs. Nigeria (0-0-1, 0 points)

Group D, Volgograd Arena, Volgograd

A world of possibilities has opened up for both these sides in a group that was supposed to be dominated by Argentina and Croatia. The former’s disastrous loss to the latter on Thursday turned this match into one of the most intriguing of the week. If Iceland wins, it will then need just a draw in its finale against Croatia to advance — and maybe not even that. If Nigeria wins, it could then eliminate Argentina with a win or draw in their meeting next week.
