We Won’t Lose To Iceland – Nigeria Coach Boasts!

Nigeria coach Gernot Rohr says Super Eagles won’t lose against Iceland.

Nigeria have to beat Iceland on Friday to keep their hope of progressing to the knockout stages on, following a 2-0 loss to Croatia in Group D opening game. “For me it’s not a question to lose this game,” said Rohr. “I think we won’t lose so I don’t ask this question myself. You can ask after the game but I can tell you we will not lose.”

Rohr added that his side have the tactics to win the match against Iceland – who held Argentina to 1-1 draw with Lionel Messi missing a penalty. Super Eagles captain, Mikel Obi in a recent conference in Russia noted that he’s ready play wherever the German coach places him, having faced criticism as a ‘bad 10’ against Croatia. Nigeria will take on Argentina in their last Group D game against Argentina next week.
