The Game Nigeria - Iceland was a game which could have been a premier league game possibly finals.
The lineup were amazing and every players offered their best. Two major nations, equally rated, some giant player on the field showed us a fantastic game especially the black nation.
In the first 5 minutes for me, Nigeria tried to build up their game, teamwork and philosophy. But Iceland was aggressive right from the very first beginning with some direct counterattacks.
Iceland is known for their fast game and counterattack, their game with short and progressive passes. But one thing is clear, Spain was not as strong as when they meet with Argentina.
One key player for that team was for me Alfred Finnbogason. He was so crucial for keeping this style alive.
Iceland today made a beautiful trial. They tried to play out their strengths. In the end what really matters is the result!. Even if price were to be given to the team that play attractive game, It have still been Nigeria.
In our first game, Nigerian must have thought that playing beautiful, would be more important than winning. But in the area of professional football, the result is the most important aspect. I will not say that an attractive style and skill is not important, no I like to play an entertaining style, but when at the end the result must be entrepreneurial.
Super Eagles did it really good. The played straightforward and fairly. They had alot of luck when they scored the second goal but in all they landed safely.
Am a fan of quality and entertaining football. Musa whom they know for half time action prove everyone wrong today. He was the anchor for Nigeria he took, and he did the significant actions. With two goals what can you say?
I only enjoyed from 46 minutes because the game changed from then.
In my opinion, it was the first game that meet the expectations of Nigerians home and in diaspora.
What am I even writing, guy please forgive me its excitement.
Am not a sport analyst so don't consider this post for any betting , take it for entertainment or information purpose. This is my disclaimatiom.
