With the players that Argentina have at their disposal you’d be forgiven for expecting this to be a comfortable win for them. However, after a very poor qualifying campaign which saw them leave it until the last game to seal their place in South Africa, the Argentineans aren’t looking as powerful as they once were.
Having used 107 players during the qualifying campaign, yes that’s right 107, Argentina are more like individuals than a team which may work against them in the World Cup. Though in fairness to Argentina, what a fantastic group of individuals they have; Messi, Tevez, Higuain, Aguero – all good attacking players.
Nigeria also have some quality in the attacking positions through Martins, Yakubu and the crafty Kanu. Both sides will be going for the win in the opening game of Group B which will hopefully give us a nice open game with plenty of goals, though don’t be surprised to see a nervy display lacking in excitement.
Although Nigeria have a strong squad I feel Argentina will have too much skill and ability for the Nigerians to handle.
