“We were unbeaten in the World Cup qualifiers and we are confident and have young talents, who want to prove themselves any time they are on the pitch,” ,” Iwobi told newsmen.
Before facing Argentina, Iwobi and his Nigeria team-mates will face Croatia and Iceland in their first two Group D matches in Russia.
