Nigeria Vs Argentina: Siasia plays down Messi, Tevez The coach disclosed that the match has drawn the attention of the entire African continent and every football follower in the world would want to see how Nigeria will battle the football super power stressing that both countries can’t afford not to player their best players. “Messi and Tevez are not the most important players in Argentina so we are not complacent about their rumoured absence,” Siasia said. “Argentina will never raise a sub-standard team against Nigeria because they too want to maintain their record of unbeaten runs. We are focused and will give the match all it takes. Argentina is one of the world’s most successful football nations. Any team they field will be of world class quality because the depth of talent available to them is second to none. ”No matter who comes, we can be absolutely sure that they will be among the very best in the world and we would underestimate them at our peril. As such, we will be well prepared to field our very best team. It will be a match for the history books and we will show what we are made of. Argentina have not lost a match in recent time and that is an indication that we have to prepare well for the match. They are a strong side and we can’t afford to let our fans down. I can understand that Messi will play in the UEFA Champions League on May 28 while Tevez has been out for a couple of weeks due to injury and Batista will not want to risk using them. After the WAFU Cup, our efforts will be geared towards good preparations to at least revenge all the past defeat from Argentina.” http://www.vanguardngr.com/2011/05/nigeria-vs-argentina-siasia-plays-down-messi-tevez/ |

I hope we'll see an improvement in the way team plays. I believe in Siasia and I hope he impacts positively on the team. |
Re: Nigeria Vs Argentina: Siasia Plays Down Messi, Tevez by Mannylex(m): 5:43pm On May 12, 2011 |
We're playing against Argentina and not Messi and Tevez. Messi doesn't really create any much impact when playing in the national team, he couldn't even get a single goal for them at the world cup. His impact won't be felt in anyway. They still have lots of good players. My fear is just that i hope there won't be any dejavu, with our historical 1-0 loss to them. In all it would be a game to watch. Can't wait. |

Maybe we can have a draw if the Ayegbenis' are not playing, cos Argentina are definately going to score. |
Re: Nigeria Vs Argentina: Siasia Plays Down Messi, Tevez by Limaoscar: 11:08pm On May 12, 2011 |
We might see a much better Super Eagles. Hey, it's a friendly but our pride is at stake so is that of the Argentines. Let's pray though that it does not degenerate into a war of bad tackles and flared tempers. The Argentines are masters of their own antics and if they score a goal or two they might set us up for a very bad game with lots of infringements against the Nigerian National side. |
Re: Nigeria Vs Argentina: Siasia Plays Down Messi, Tevez by BabaO2: 12:22am On May 13, 2011 |
@honeric01 If Messi and Tevez are not the most important players in Argentina, who then are the most important players? UndecidedTevez is NOT one of the most important players of Argentina Higuain, Milito and Tevez in that order. Pls be sure of what you are saying before exposing your foolishness |

Thank you for not watching, it will do the team a lot of good to have one pessimist less watching them and thinking negative thoughts. Up Naija anyday, [quote][/quote] believe in a lazy nd incompetent team and get heart problem. Argentina wil annihilate us com june1. Av u 4goten wat brazil did 2 us? Optimist my foot |
Re: Nigeria Vs Argentina: Siasia Plays Down Messi, Tevez by semid4lyfe(m): 9:16am On May 13, 2011 |
I couldn't be bothered if Argentina fields only home-based players from River Plate, Independiente, Boca Juniors & other Argentine clubsides or relatively unknown/2nd string Europe based players cos Argentina na Argentina. They've got a football culture and any eleven players fielded against us would be quality opposition and give us a run for our money. There's even a high probability a 2nd string Argentine side would beat the best team we could field. I'm more concerned with the Super Eagles utilizing the FIFA friendly days and playing friendlies (along with the rest of the world) as we've been doing since SiaOne took the reigns cos we're rebuilding and it'd help in the blending of players + improve the team cohesion. |
Re: Nigeria Vs Argentina: Siasia Plays Down Messi, Tevez by Iyineda(m): 9:23am On May 13, 2011 |
Unfortunately, it will not be only Messi and Tevez that will be missing. Check out this BBC article: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/13365512.stm Extract: The Super Eagles will use the match as a warm-up for their Africa Cup of Nations qualifier in Ethiopia on the weekend of 4-5 June. Argentina, who won the World Cup in 1978 and 1986, take on Nigeria before facing Poland in Warsaw four days later. Argentina squad: Goalkeepers: Oscar Ustari (Getafe), Agustin Marchesin (Lanús). Defenders: Mateo Musacchio (Villarreal), Nicolas Otamendi (Porto), Ezequiel Garay (Real Madrid), Pablo Zabaleta (Manchester City), Marcos Angeleri (Sunderland), Federico Fazio (Sevilla), Emiliano Insúa (Fenerbahce). Midfielders: Tino Costa (Valencia), Nicolas Bertolo (Zaragoza), Mario Bolatti (Internacional), Fernando Belluschi (Porto), Alejandro Cabral (Legia Warsaw), Diego Perotti (Sevilla), Mauro Formica (Blackburn). Forwards: Pablo Piatti (Almería), Marco Ruben (Villarreal), Jonathan Cristaldo (Metallist), Nicolas Gaitán (Benfica), Mauro Boselli (Genoa), Franco Jara (Benfica). |

(1) It is either Messi is too big to play for Argentina against Nigeria, (2) Argentina is too Big to loss to Nigeria. or both. |
Re: Nigeria Vs Argentina: Siasia Plays Down Messi, Tevez by semid4lyfe(m): 9:42am On May 13, 2011 |
Iyineda: But the Argentine FA has since debunked this list. According to them, the team list will only be announced 10 days to the match.
