We have an edge over Eagles-Iceland Coach

Iceland national team coach, Heimir Halgrimsson has said their match against Argentina was tiring but
against the Super Eagles of Nigeria on Friday it will be exhausting which they are ready for.

Coaching a team in the World Cup has also left less time for Hallgrimsson’s original job which is
looking after people’s teeth in his native country which has a population of 4,300), a 5.2-square-mile
volcanic island off Iceland’s south coast.

He said: “It took a lot of energy to get this point, but it was worth it. To have one point today is
very important. Now, we go to a game that Nigeria preferably needs to win. I think we are, well, at
least in a better situation today than they are.”

Hallgrimsson on the strengths of the Nigerian team: “It’s a whole another opponent, that has a
different playing style. They have a powerful and a strong team with players that can cover a lot of
distance. It’s a really organised team, which the coach of Nigeria, [Gernot] Rohr, deserves credit for.

“Playing against Argentina was tiring and against Rohr team will be exhausting because he’s a German
tactician with lots of experience and its shows in his team but we the Nordic are ready, we are in top
gear for the match, said Hallgrimsson who is also a dentist.
