Augsburg and Iceland striker Alfred Finnbogason has backed his team to win, saying that the world cup newbie will not be a pushover come Russia 2018.


Iceland surprised the world at EURO 2016, holding Portugal to a 1-1 draw and beating England en route to the last eight, while their World Cup qualifying campaign saw them end top of their group ahead of Croatia, Ukraine, Turkey, Finland and Kosovo.

“It’s great because I have six or seven of my best friends in the squad. We’re like a big family, you can see that because we fight for each other,” Finnbogason, who plays for Augsburg, told the Bundesliga’s official website.


“If we’re playing England, Brazil or Croatia, we’re going out to win. Some people think we might be mad to think like that, but it’s in our DNA.”

The Super eagles of Nigeria will face the Nordic team on the 22nd of June at the Volgograd Arena.
