Daniella Semaan, the wife of former Barcelona and current Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fàbregas, has publicly thanked Nigeria on Twitter after the “super eagles” defeated Iceland 2-0 in the FIFA World Cup.
Nigeria’s win has opened a path, albeit a precarious one, for Lionel Messi’s Argentina to remain in the World Cup.
As fate would have it, Argentina now have to defeat Nigeria themselves to get into the next round. If they do so, and Iceland either fails to beat Croatia or wins but does not beat Argentina’s goal difference, the albiceleste will remain alive.
