Nigeria coach Lars Lagerback was disappointed with the way his side played against Saudi Arabia in a pre-World Cup game and expects them to do much better against Colombia on Sunday.

The Super Eagles were held to a goalless draw by Saudi Arabia in Austria on Tuesday as they gear up for the 11 June-11 July World Cup finals in South Africa.

"The coach was not happy. He was angry and disappointed with the performance of the team," Nigeria Football Federation official Taiwo Ogunjobi was quoted as saying on BBC Sport.

"He also told us that he now has a lot to do before the World Cup kicks off.

"The boys did not live up to expectations and they have to do a lot better on Sunday against Colombia."

Nigeria will also face North Korea on June 6 before beginning their World Cup campaign against Argentina six days later.

They will also face Euro 2004 champions Greece and 2002 World Cup semi-finalists South Korea in Group B of the tournament.
