Live comments

  • 0' - The game is set. Nigeria kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' - It’s high time Gernot Rohr made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 10' - 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 William Troost-Ekong suffering a number of foals already.
  • 15' - The travelling Iceland supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 20' - Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.

  • 59' - Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Iceland needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
