Argentina vs Nigeria

Argentina will first face African danger-makers Nigeria at the Ellis Park Stadium in Johannesburg; they'll be praying to overcome the Nigerians' challenge so as to get a fine start to their 2010 FIFA World Cup finals campaign. This match will kick-off on June 12th, at 16:00 South African local time. Super Eagles will need to get ready for an important encounter, but what is too bad for them is that Argentina’s wish to earn 3 points will be as strong as theirs, and thus, it will be difficult to smile at the end of 90 minutes
This will be a very hard opening game for the albicelestes, as the Nigerians seem to have no mentality problems when it comes to meeting highly-ranked national football teams.
Coach Diego Maradona, as well as his main ace Lionel Messi along with other players, will all want to get the best out of this encounter in order to reduce the pressure inflicted by their supporters. Also, they'd like to benefit from 3 first points which would eventually ease their way through the knockout phas. Big stars such Lionel Messi, Carlos Tevez, and Sergio Aguero will probably all be lined-up for the Albicelestes, but Nigeria could respond with a set of dangerous players including Nwankwo Kanu, Yakubu Aiyegbeni, John Obi Mikel, Kalu Uche, Peter Odemwingie, and Obafemi Martins.
