Peru 3-1 Iceland

[greg]

This Icelandic team know how to do one thing really well: cross the ball and attack it during set pieces and open play. At our current state, SE na easy meat for them. True to God. I started watching the game expecting to see a one-dimensional team, but they are actually quite tricky using team work to create space for the open man i.e. they dribbu as a team. SE better improve fast at defending long balls into the box or this is surely 3 points for them at the WC.

So why are they not beating Peru? Abeg, gerrarra hia mein, u think we gonna show up to play tennis wit dem? Some of u people are just straight up delusional, picking players like its roadside suya. Iceland and SE no dey the same level.

yeah that's the spirit! England also thought they weren't in their class. make we see how our England match go be.

Iceland is vulnerable to the high press though. Peru started 2H playing them half field playing quick passes, and they started making mistakes and lost their shape. Inevitably the go ahead goal came. Let's see if Iceland respond like they did after Peru 1st goal.

[greg]

3-1. Lesson learned..keep them in their half and they won't win free kicks around your box to execute the only things they really know how to do.

[Benedict Iroha]

Peru destroy Croatia and Iceland.

[Tobi17]

So all the teams in our world cup group lost today, interesting

[Robotnik]

Mexico vs Croatia is still ongoing

[mystic]

I think that Iceland and Croatia will have noted our weakness in defending dead ball situations. If we don't improve in this area, we will surely be punished at the World Cup.

Having said that, the good thing is that we have friendlies coming up against England and Czech Republic coming up in the build-up to the World Cup. Both teams will test our set piece defending, and we'll get a chance to see if we will have improved in this area.

It's not all you are "hearing". Re-read the thread and see their flaws too. Ignore their strengths though and pay for it like England did.

This is where Balogun is key for us. He, Ighalo, Mikel and Ndidi must win everything in the air.

[DIMKA76]

Igalo win stuff in the Air? Against who? How tall is Igalo? Omo Not unless he plays with a stepladder

Iceland's problem is they have about 15 or so very good players in their squad. The rest are jambodies and in their friendlies they have been trying to find out which of the jambodies has any chance.

Only about three of their normal starting 11 started against Peru. Like all friendlies it is important to know the coach and squads motivation in understanding how significant the result is, or not.

They don't have 15 very good players. They just don't. They have a sprinkling of good players and the sum is greater than its parts.

Let me get this straight, Iceland lost 3-1 to Peru and we did 2-0 to Serbia yet you conclude we will fall to Iceland
If anything it just says a lot about the state of your mind rather than the state of the Eagles

Anyway, all will be settled on the field not in the mind of greg

Bros, with all due respect Nigeria is not yet as sharp and cohesive as Peru at this time, but that's besides the point. There is no point in the post above where I "concluded" that we will lose to them at the WC. Re-read with a clear head abeg.
