Live comments

  • 0' - We are underway at . The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
  • 5' - Hannes Þor Halldorsson needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.
  • 10' - It looks surprising Nigeria does not make any changes. Kelechi Iheanacho has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 15' - The travelling Iceland supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 20' - The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Bjorn Sigurðarson suffering a number of foals already.
  • 25' - It’s high time Heimir Hallgrimsson made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 30' - Nigeria seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 35' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
