This one that Pks just dey full everywhere. These players have not used Var to train atall. Asin how to take advantage of the crappy system just yet? Expect Messi to wana dance rough near our box. He knows we would bring him down and so he gets a freekick. Let's deny him such a golden platter. I expect us to score first also, else..... We need to bury the game early. 4 Likes |

To beat Argentina tomorrow, we need to take a cue from Croatia.. First Of all we need to do a high press so Argentina doesn't build up play from the back..let them kick the ball in the air which means 50-50 chance to get the ball back and automatically they become less dangerous since most of their strikers are short... To neutralize messi, you need proper space engineering...never give messi room to run at you from the center and do combination play...we need to crowd that midfield whenever Argentina has possession, this would render messi less effective since he thrives on pocket of space left out by midfielders..Etebo would really have his hands full..its much easier for him to mark messi since he also has a low center of gravity!!! I hope our players would not be selfish tomorrow and play with each other..its all about the team winning!!! This is a game I believe we can win...we just need to get our tactics right and the players have to be alert for 90mins..no loosing concentration 14 Likes |

The way these Argentinians are confident that beating us will take them to the round of 16, Somebody should help me tell them that even if they beat us,(Godforbid), they might still not qualify if Iceland beat Croatia with the same margin or better margin. Heard Croatia is resting 10 first team players for d game. So Argentina should just stop all this overconfidence. We will shock them today!! 1 Like |

Scoring first will be top priority for us in today's game. By scoring first, we would put Argentina under immense psychological pressure. Under that pressure, the Argentines would succumb and Sampaoli will have melt down, resulting in tactical decisions that are based on emotion rather than sensibility. This will result in Argentina focusing all their efforts on attack with no attention paid to the back. From there, we hold tight, stay put and exploit their vulnerable defences in a forceful attack or counterattack. 4 Likes |

Self-Confessed Fan Of Messi Appointed As Referee For Argentina Vs Nigeria Tie Nigeria are going to face Argentina tomorrow in their final group D game of the World Cup 2018 in Russia. A game where a win will see them progress regardless of what happens in the other group game between Croatia and Iceland. Argentina on their part need a win against Nigeria and that will be enough to see them progress from the group if Croatia who are already through to the next round beat Iceland in the other group game. A situation which has made the game against Nigeria more intriguing than it is on paper. Yesterday, FIFA confirmed the appointment of referee Cuneyt Cakir as centre referee for the game and it has been viewed by many as controversial because the Turkish referee has in the past confessed his love and admiration for Argentina super star forward Lionel Messi. Cakir described the five time best player in the world as his favourite and has officiated games which has ended in favour of teams of Messi, the most memorable which didn’t go the way of Messi with him in the middle was the UEFA Champions League clash which ended 3-3 between Barcelona and Chelsea with Chelsea progressing and Messi missing a spot kick. The politics just begun ![]() |

Referee To Decide If Super Eagles Captain Mikel Will Play For Nigeria Against Argentina Nigeria could line up against Argentina without their influential captain John Obi Mikel if centre referee Cuneyt Cakir insist on him not playing with a cast around his wrist. Mikel suffered a fracture on his wrist in Nigeria’s last game against Iceland and since then has been playing in a cast in the training session of the team as they build up to the game against Argentina tomorrow. The cast was also seen around his wrist when the team trained this evening and even though coach Gernot Rohr insist that the Tianjin Teda midfielder will play against Argentina during the pre match conference, the final decision will rest on Turkish referee Cuneyt Cakir. Cakir will decide if the cast around the wrist of the Nigerian will be injurious to other players or not. If he rules it injurious then Mikel will have to sit out the game, but if otherwise then Mikel will be free to play per FIFA rules. |

Sainty92: If Nigeria play with passion, they will not lose. I hope they get their acts together and give Messi a befitting send-forth gift. I thought the first match against Croatia was the most important match for the Eagles, I was mad and embarrassed when they performed miserably but seeing the Croatians deal mercilessly with Messi and co made me realized that anything can happen in this world cup. Mikel and co should play their game, show disrespect to Argentina and send them back to Argentina. If they play badly, Argentina will hurt them so bad. They should not play for a draw. This game is in their hands. At the end of the 90mins, there would not be any excuses. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Finally the Day is upon us Argentina are like wounded lions and they are going to come at us with everything they've got Our win against Iceland gave them a lifeline and they will need to beat us with minimum of 3 unreplied goals to stand a chance to qualify. On our part, our destiny rest squarely in our hands We need either a scored draw or a win to qualify Its simple... We have two options before us We either lie down and take a beating OR we stand up to them and match them strength to strength, man to man and outscore them Watching Iran fight Portugal yesterday and Morocco handle Spain was a joy to behold Both Spain and Portugal needed the support of the Referee and VAR to snatch a draw from either of Iran and Morocco Such inspiration,... Such Passion... Such fight is what the Super Eagles must put up today.. May the Good Lord..., the God of our Fathers grant us Victory today 11 Likes |

bengine: My thoughts exactly with regards to Messi. The high press is essential for us too we don't want Messi getting penalties or free kicks near our 18. We should know that these players are really good at hood winking referees for fake fouls. Argentina will also high press us, I am very sure. They will be worried about our fast break. This means we will often use the long ball. Who will win our aerial battles and bully the Argentine CB'S for our fast paced forwards to capitalise on. ![]() My formation 3-5-2 Omeruo - Balogun - Ekong Mikel Ndidi - - Etebo Ebuehi - Moses Ighalo ----- Musa With a number of substitute options that excludes Echiejile and Shehu |

Sampaoli on Argentina: “Tomorrow, our World Cup begins” 25 June 2018 Under-fire head coach Jorge Sampaoli was almost removed from his position after a reported player mutiny nearly dethroned him from his role at Argentina. The players’ supposedly asked to manage themselves for their final group game; after a string of questionable decisions and poor results against Iceland (1-1) and Croatia (0-3) see them sit bottom of World Cup Group D. It is all to play for tomorrow as Argentina take on Nigeria and speaking on the topic, Sampaoli had several things to say: “We leave behind a particular week, because we are recovering from a losing defeat and that puts us in a position to win at all costs. At the same time, it also depends on the outcome of another match. Argentina's World Cup begins tomorrow - for us it will be the first of 5 finals that could lead us to raise the World Cup. We will have to play with heart, this is what I am trying to get across to the team. The players who come down on the pitch will have to push themselves to the limit, we have no alternative and I am sure that this will happen. You will see the best version of Argentina. I'm sure of what I'm saying.” |
