Ayo, because he will rest players doesn't mean he will play with their "B team", so nothing is set yet.

To me, that's the last thing we should do, considering they have always defeated us in World Cup games. Besides, if we beat Iceland, we are not certain of anything; therefore, beating Argentina becomes the only option for us to advance. Likewise, Argentina will be aiming to defeat us to brighten their chances of advancing as well. Thus, the games will be crackers

If we ever get to a point in this group where the result of Nigeria v Argentina determines which of us goes to the round of 16, expect a mini world cup final!

Having said that, we need to win today first.
