Odion Ighalo
has said that he expects Nigeria's Group D showdown with Argentina to be like
"a war" as both teams battle for a place in the last 16 of the World
Cup.
All three
sides can still join Croatia in progressing out of the tight group, as they are
separated by a couple of points ahead of Tuesday's final-round matches.
Nigeria are in
the driving seat, sitting two points better off than Argentina and Iceland,
with the latter facing off against Croatia in their next match.
Ighalo knows
full well just how much is riding on his side's clash with La Albiceleste, and
is confident of booking a spot in the next round.
"It's
going to be a war and a final of finals because they need to win," he told
BBC Sport. "They are going to come all out and use every tactic that they
know to win a game. I am
expecting it to be a very tough game but I think we are capable of
qualifying."
Argentina
and Nigeria have faced off on four previous occasions at the World Cup, with
the Super Eagles yet to avoid defeat.
O'l boy. just do it. My worry now is this & im using this forum to pray against it: In most cases, whenever Our boys need a win, they draw, whenever they need a draw, they lose. So i'd say they need a win; so at least we can get a draw. Our boys should forget about individual players like Messi but concentrate on playing a determind football. It is done IJN
