"Iceland In Trouble" As Football Legend Visits Super Eagles At Their Camp In Russia.

 Ex-footballer and Nigerian football legend, mathematical segun Odegbami is in Russia and has encouraged super Eagles to display the full version of the Nigerian do-or-die spirit. He met with the Nigerian football team yesterday ahead of their match with Iceland today in Volgograd.

  His words:

 "I am in Volgograd. I have just finished watching the final chapter of an unfolding drama. In Group D of the world cup. It is curtains of Argentina, because it do not see how they will survive their last match against Nigeria. It was a rare privilege earlier this evening when, at the instance of Amaju Pinnick, I was given the rare privilege to address members of the Super Eagles at their dinner table, the only person to do so on the eve of their greatest challenge when they confronted the Vikings of Iceland with all the pent up 'anger', energy, determination and motivation from the Croatia match.
 It was a spirit lifting meeting that we had. I simply reminded them of their responsibility to ensure that they displayed the full version of the Nigerian do-or-die spirit. I remained them also about their responsibility to the ordinary Nigerian on the street that is with them unconditionally for as long as they give their best.
 I reminded them of their assured place in history if they could rise above the disappointment of their first match, win tomorrow and convert this moment of their greatest challenge into the moment of their greatest triumph. I gave them the good wishes of all Nigerians and prayed with them for favour from the elements.
 It was a small contribution to their already bulging enthusiasm and confidence. I saw their spirit. They will fight like they have never fought before. When we parted to go and watch the Argentinian match on TV, both my head and my Heart were in synch about expections tomorrow -Iceland are in trouble. "
