I'm happpy for Iceland and sad that Wales couldn't qualify.
Sanchez will be crying now, no UCL, no world cup him and he's not in the FIFA world best nomination.

Biafra and Catalonia are the next small nations that will qualify for the world cup.

Independent Biafra and Catalonia, if it ever happens, will have estimated populations of at least 28million and 9million respectively.

Those are not exactly small nations.

Iceland's population is less than that of some suburbs in Lagos e.g. Ikorodu, Alimosho, Ojo.

Nigeria should have won the World Cup by now.
We've had our glory days but that does not mean that we are that horrible as a country when it comes to football. Interestingly, we share a similar fate as Argentina when it comes to team football. We have the qualities but playing together as a team often time seem like a Herculian task.

That said, the size of a nation does not determine whether they would win the World Cup or otherwise. Uruguay is the first country to win the World Cup in 1930, and they did so with a population of 75,000 people. Your defence might be 'well... the cup wasn't as structured as it is now' but the ready response to that is that there were far 'better' nations with a better population.

Going by your assertion, we might need to wait for China and India before we dream of winning the World Cup.

Biafra won't be small in any way, both by landmass n by population.

Going by the laws of chance and probability, Super Eagles will most likely play Argentina again in Russia 2018 to make it the 5th time both nations will pair up at the FIFA World Cup.

The last 4 times we met, the scores were as below with the Argies shading us each time:

Nigeria vs Argentina 1:2 (USA 94)

Nigeria vs Argentina 0:1 (Japan/Korea 02)

Nigeria vs Argentina 0:1 (S/Africa 10)

Nigeria vs Argentina 2:3 (Brazil 14)

These were all tough games in which Argentina were always the favourites but given good fight by the Nigerian underdogs.

We could just be 5th time lucky in Russia. Bring it on FIFA...pair us with anybody!!

Size does not matter as China, the country with the largest population in the world with over 1.3 billion people has not qualified for Russia 2018 while Iceland with only population of approximately 335,000 has qualified for the mundial with a 2-0 win over Kosovo.

See the list of the smallest countries (by population) that have qualified for the World in its history.

Country Estimated Population at time of World Cup Qualification
Iceland 335,000
Trinidad & Tobago 1,300,000
Northern Ireland 1,850,000
Slovenia 2,080,000
Jamaica 2,890,000
Wales 3,100,000

Congratulations to Iceland.

Biafra can't be a small nation. A country with over 30 million people is not a small nation...maybe in landmass.

Impossible because of seeding. I will not be Surprised if we get Argentina or Spain though.

Argentina are in a tight corner.... They may not qualify.
