Argentina defender, Javier Mascherano, has said that Nigeria are capable of destabilizing them, when they meet at the 2018 World Cup.

Mascherano stated this in an interview with the UK Guardian, while assessing their Group D opponents.

Argentina are in Group D with Nigeria, Croatia and Iceland.

This will be the third time Mascherano will be facing the Super Eagles at the World Cup. The defender-cum-midfielder was in the Argentina squad that beat the Super Eagles at South Africa 2010 (1-0) and Brazil 2014 (3-2) World Cups.

“Iceland are a new team in the sense that they maybe don’t have a long football tradition but they’re a generation of players that have made history recently, with spectacular success at Euro 16, and qualifying ahead of Croatia.

“Croatia are a first-class side with top players, especially in the midfield, such as Modric, Brozovic, Kovacic, Rakitic … Perisic; a team to watch out, quality squad.

“And Nigeria are quite well known to us, we’ve always met in the last World Cups. They’re tough, not just because of their physical power, but because their disorganisation has the effect of disorganising you as a rival. And that’s when teams like ours suffer the most – in disorder,” he said.

What a professional!

You respect your opponents, whether you can beat them or not.

Super eagles over to you....

Nice assessment mascherano.. but Nigeria will beat Argentina. If only dreams come to pass in reality

thank you sir for positively deconstructing the nigeria super eagles. they said all they wanted was the trending Nike Jessy

seems this guy studied diplomacy in school. he indirectly yab super chicken

Disorganized or not, I expect the Super Eagles to score not more than 2 goals in 3 matches before they are sent packing.

CAPSLOCKED:

YES.
THE SUPER EAGLES ARE DISORGANIZED.. EXACTLY THE SAME WAY IWOBI SINGLE-HANDEDLY DISORGANIZED THE ENTIRE ARGENTINA DEFENCE IN THE PREVIOUS ENCOUNTER.

serious destabilizing

Who ask for your opinion?

We have the better kit. Mind your business

With the last two warm up games


It's no lie.

He's right, I can't bet for a win over Argentina looking at their friendly matches, mbanu not in Russia

WE WILL WAIT AND SEE!!

No need to wait , EveryOne knows that Argentina’s Messi team squads are floop

he is not far from the truth. our team lack cohesion

Lol till they enter pitch watch as dey Super chickens make excuses

vb

To be honest Nigeria is the weakest link in the group, my body weak when I saw friendlies of Croatia and Iceland.and compared it to how shabbily we played our warm up matches, unless as someone said that super eagles played below par so that we can be underrated then we surprise them

We need prayers

It's a good assertion....

They seem disorganized
The gaffer doesn't even know his starting eleven

5 nih

Check my prediction out.
Doubting if Portugal can beat Brazil.

He's right bt there's always a surprise improvement in performances as the games progress. If we can build our confidence we can do better than expected.

Even the country too.. IGP want to arrest Senate President, MURIC want to carry falz to court, SARS playing god, and BUHARi initiating 2nd term.

Germany have not been having good runs too and only managed to beat Saudi Arabia 2-1 in their last friendlies, their first win this year. This is more terrible than Nigeria's run and I wonder why they still occupy the first place on FIFA ranking.
