LIVERPOOL BOSS KLOPP WARNS NIGERIA ICELAND CAN WIN WORLD CUP
Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp says Nigeria’s rivals, Iceland can win
the 2018 FIFA World Cup which will be hosted by Russia.
Iceland are in Group D alongside African giants Nigeria, South
America’s Argentina and European side, Croatia.
“Iceland has done amazing things in football. Not only in football but
also in handball and other sports,” Klopp said a press conference.
“It could be thought that the country was full of athletes, but there
are also doctors, teachers and everything else.
The former Borussia Dortmund manager stated that if Germany and
England fail to win the World Cup, then Iceland can surprise many by
winning the global tournament.
“I do not understand how there are only 330-340 thousand residents
there. They must be physicians, teachers and professional footballers
at the same time,” the German said.
“If Germany can not win World Cup and England can not win then I hope
Iceland will win. It would be the greatest achievement of sports
history.
“I feel comfortable with all the people in your wonderful country.
Congratulations on being an Icelandic.”
Nigeria will take on Iceland at the Volgograd Arena in their first
Group D match on the 16th of June 2018.
