Hopefully Vassel will be given his chance to shine!
But Nigeria are a pretty unpredictabel team, so we shouldn't go out there with a team that's less-than half-strength.
You never know what they might do!
Even though they've got nothing to play for, they may still wanna show the laughing world that when they're down, they don't stay down!
It will be a tense game but I see this as the same scenario we were in the qualifying stages. We will come close to throwing it all away after defeating a close rival, but we will come up trumps and proceed to the next phase.
> 2-0 to Nigeria putting England out.
Just like Argentina, eh? ;-)
I agree about the kick-off time though. England must be ready for this game. It's a mid-afternoon kick-off, and it's likely to be very humid.
Nigeria obviously will not want to go home having lost all three games, and they will be far more used to the heat.
I think England are capable of beating them by a couple of goals, but it will depend very much on how we go about the game. If we go charging around at a high pace at the start of the game, we'll be dead by the end of it, giving Nigeria a big advantage.
It'll be a slow game I think, with England trying to take any sting out of Nigeria in the first half, hopefully stepping the pace up in the second and getting the win.
I wouldn't like to state a score, but England to win by one goal I reckon.
