**Official Match Thread - Nigeria v Argentina**

[1066familyman]

Absolute love Nigeria to finally perform in a major tournament, but sadly I suspect:

2-0 Argentina.

 

[perth seagull]

Hopefully a Nigeria win, you never know with Bloaterdonna in charge at Argentina, he might be as tactically inept as the Greek manager today.

I can hear some singing at last.

 

[jimmypbha]

Maradona really needs a shave

 

[The Wizard]

Gutierrez RB with Zanetti left at home.....

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

This is going to be a rout.

 

[The Wizard]

WTF, Great defending that.

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

1-0 Argentina. Messi looks grand

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

I took a multi bet for $20 @ $13.33

Geelong to win by more than 39.5 points (covered easily)
South Korea to win (covered easily)
Argentina to win
England to win

Half way there...

 

[Blackadder]

Argies well on top!

 

[The Wizard]

Shittu is a BEAST.

 

[SNOOBS]

Argentina look superb but they could be so much better still if you swapped Veron for Cambiasso, Zanetti for Jonas

 

[Spun Cuppa]

Demichelis to make a mighty rick for 1-1...

 

[mistahclarke]

oh no..... Mick McCarthy.....Really?

"I was looking at your team sheet and wondered if that was THE Juan Veron (of ex-Man U and Chelsea fame)"

McCarthy, the pundit and Ex-Ireland Manager.

 

[The Wizard]

Argentina superb going forward but against someone with quality midfielders this formation would be shown up imo.
