‘It’s coming home’ – Nigerians get behind England after Sweden win

Nigerians have joined England in celebrating their 2-0 victory over Sweden in Saturday’s quarter-final fixture, believing they can go all the way to clinching the most coveted title in football.

Harry Maguire and Dele Alli headers in each half of the game sealed the Three Lions' spot in the last-four of the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

And Nigerians, via Twitter, have congratulated them on their win in Samara.

My hope now that my top 3: Brazil, Nigeria & Mexico are all out is that #England wins this. — netflix connoisseur (@krustyy_krabs) July 7, 2018

Whether it was a poor #SWE side or not, or whether you feel this was a poor #WorldCup quarter final game or not.
