Croatia win or draw.
Re: Argentina vs Croatia: what result is best for Nigeria?
Croatia has already taken 3 points from us so there is nothing we can do about stopping them. They're likely to also gain 3 points against Iceland hence are strong favourites right now to be one of the teams to qualify from the group. Hence, we want Argentina to lose so they don't increase their points tally. In that scenario if we beat Iceland and draw with Argentina, we go through.

Re: Argentina vs Croatia: what result is best for Nigeria?
The first 2 answers are spot on. We should all be rooting for Croatia at this point.

Are they? Croatia finished behind Iceland in the qualifiers....Orion wrote:They're likely to also gain 3 points against Iceland hence are strong favourites right now to be one of the teams to qualify from the group.
Anyway, a draw is the preferred result as it leaves all teams with something to play for in the final game - assuming Nigeria gets something out of the Iceland game.

you want outright beating by the croats and demoralization; a draw raises their hope of qualifying when they play us

The main thing is that we handle our own business.

The best result is if both teams were banned for performance enhancing drugs

What’s likely to happen is an Argentine win, where does that leave us?

Optionally if Iceland and Croatia draw - than we need to make up the GD to Croatia.
But first things first - we need to beat Iceland.
Re: Argentina vs Croatia: what result is best for Nigeria?
Thank you, Yeyeman! We should plan/aim to win our last remaining games and forget about what happens in any other games in our group. That I think is our best result between Argentina and CroatiaThe YeyeMan wrote:That would be my second choice....jette1 wrote:you want outright beating by the croats and demoralization; a draw raises their hope of qualifying when they play us

No guys,
A draw is the best.
A Croatian win is bad news because they will go into their final match with Iceland knowing they already won the group and could field their reserves.
So we want Croatia motivated to beat Iceland.
So we go into our final match needing just a draw to eliminate Argentina
Iceland out with a draw against cristis but goal difference now come to play if Iceland beats crostis
Re: Argentina vs Croatia: what result is best for Nigeria?
...the Croats struggled to beat us, a fluke OG and a fake PK. I sure hope they step vs the Argies.
Re: Argentina vs Croatia: what result is best for Nigeria?
If Croatia win or draw, a win vs. Iceland and a draw v. Argentina sends Nigeria through in second place 90+ percent of scenarios, so that's the preference.
No result is really detrimental though. The thing that we need more than anything is for Nigeria to not only beat Iceland, but do so by multiple goals. Again, there are many scenarios where Nigeria could end up even on four points with Croatia or Iceland if they draw with Argentina, and they have to fix their goal differential.
As long as Nigeria gets some result next match, no one can be eliminated on match day 2, so we are not affected by the dead rubber issue in any scenario where we could still go through.

The result does not matter. We have to win two games to be sure of anything
Cheers.

It doesn't matter. We have to win out to gaurantee we will advance. If we win one and draw one, we may not advance.doctorollie wrote:Let’s discuss folks. What result is best for Nigeria?

What if Crotia draws with Argentina and lose to Iceland? Do we still advance with a win and a draw? This scenario will produce 3 teams with 4 points, which may not favor us depending on the goal difference.olumide wrote:If Croatia win or draw, a win vs. Iceland and a draw v.
