Nigeria look really good, it was a very efficient performance against CIV. We completely shut out the best attacking team in the tournament. Gervinho and Kalou were almost invisible. A very well organized team. Hopefully they stay focused against Belgium and I have very little doubt they will be playing for the Gold. If we make the final, I think Brazil will be easier to beat, but I want Argentina for revenge of the 2005 U20 WC final, where they needed 2 penalties to beat us.

yes there seems to be quite a little rivalry between the 2 countries, we've also lost 2 very close WC games as well. Anyways we both have games ahead of us, so lets not look too far ahead right now.

Right, but having a rematch in the final for that one which was in an olympic game final too, would be cool.

The '96 Olympic semi-final between Brazil and Nigeria was the most enjoyable soccer match I've ever attended.

I am going to guess 9:00 AM again like the Argentina - Netherlands game. I am hoping Universal HD will carry the game as it did before. Very difficult to find out if this is true.
