If someone told me four years ago that I would make a thread for this game and that Iceland would have drawn Argentina first, I would piss myself with laughter.
Iceland are the story of the tournament so far. Hope they continue to show the world that a nation with a fraction of the population of most cities can still compete with legends like Messi and global powerhouses on the world's biggest stage.
I would love to see Nigeria progress so I could keep watching Iwobi. That being said I think Iceland is well run and are far more organized than Nigeria at the best of times.
I’m not even sure that Iceland are a story anymore.
They have been doing this since Euro ‘16 qualifiers.
I’m starting to just expect it from them.

They completely overhauled their coaching department at all levels around then. And ever since then they’ve been a good side.You could even argue they were doing it in the Brazil 2014 qualifying cycle . Narrowly missing out on that tournament.
That would be something.Iceland is advancing from the group.

In theory, I should cheer for a draw so Croatia is secured the #1 seed.
But in practice, game will start and there's no way I'll be able to NOT cheer for Iceland. I love their country, I love their team, I love the whole Scandinavian viking thing, and I'll just end up rooting for them.
Avoiding defeat makes Iceland favourites to qualify from the group.Iceland need the three points here if they want out of this group.
Let's go Nigeria
I want all bus parking teams to be eliminated. I don't care how nice your country and your people are.
