have u seen the argies?

the last time messi met siasia's team, nigeria bit the dust to sheer cheating and cleverness.

messi is a livewire. brilliance plus cheat. cheesy

his godfather, maradona is watching the game right now and argentina has stopped brazil from playing.

You know our guys are not intimidated by anybody or country all I know when get to that field they know the tricks and tactis to apply

But on the real. . . . Argentina is pretty good. You have to admit that. So i can't really say that Nigeria has this one in the bag. . . . you know Argentina could come out of no where and win Gold. . . . and take it back to their home.

argentina has the upper hand.

it seems lionel messi wants to redeem his image and win individual awards this year.

he is wrecking the samba boys with his quick feet. can we beat argentina?

unless messi and aguero and riquelme gets injured. even with that, they'd still have gago and mascherano.

Half time in the Brazil vs Argentina game.
1. The Argies are more aggressive and create more chances of scoring.
2. The game is quite tight, defence rules here.
3. Messi is a messiah. grin

Naw i have faith in Nigeria. What happened in that game between them and Belgium was legit. And if anyone wants to investigate anything it is the Chinese woman's gymnastics team.

can the nigerian defence cope with messi's trickery and brilliance?

i remember him diving twice in 2005 to earn 2 penalties that gave them the cup.

they know how to con referees to win free-kicks. maradona taught them how to cheat.

Guys lets rally behind our african team as they tackle one of the South American powerhouses. It would be great if Nigeria can win. wink

That is what im saying. Nigeria is no doubt clever and sly when it comes to soccer. We all saw the game against the USA. The used that natural cleverness to beat them. But mind you. . . . Argentina sees the field like a math board. They know how to work the field in all circumstances. So for us to just totally assume that Nigeria will win. . . . is a little ignorant on our part.

nigerians are naturally patriotic. one expects them to gloat and boast even before the game starts.

we have done that as a country many times and have fallen flat on our faces.

argentina are the defending champions of the olympic football and have won every game since the competition started.

if they manage to beat brazil, nigeria will need 13 players to triumph.

i am not saying its impossible but it would take a miracle to beat them.

Anyone thinking that playing Argentina in the finals will be an easy task for us should pls wake up from that dream.
I would prefer we play Brazil instead. Messi's trickery, Riquelme's defence splitting pass, Mascherano's agressive midfield work
And then u have Angelo di maria and Aguero to contend with in the defence
But at the same time, i bet we getting to the final also shows our spirit, guile and tenacity. Whatever happens, we will surely answer our name
Believe me i bet it will not also be easy for whom ever wins. Nigeria has as much chance as Argentina to win.
But i totally disagree with anyone saying the finals is ours or just assuming its just a matter of formalities.

Up Nigeria!!!! At least we have a future.
