Iceland can be even more difficult than Argentina, says Tijani Babangida

The ex-international feels Gernot Rohr’s men stand a chance to clear their mess in Group D, but must first scale Heimir Hallgrimsson men’s hurdle

Tijani Babangida has warned the Super Eagles that they cannot afford a lapse in concentration as they seek to qualify for the World Cup Round of 16.

Gernot Rohr’s men made a false start in Russia after losing 2-0 to Croatia in Kaliningrad – and must beat Iceland and Argentina to stir their hopes of progressing.

For the debutants who forced pre-tournament favourites, Argentina to a 1-1 draw, a win over the three-time African kings would put them one leg in the knockout round.
