Argentina vs. Nigeria Post Match Thread [R]

Re: Argentina vs. Nigeria Post Match Thread

Not as impressed by this Argentine squad as I thought I would be. Looking forward to seeing some real quality footy this aft between England and the US. Should be a classic!

 

Re: Argentina vs. Nigeria Post Match Thread

i feel bad for the nigerian gk , he must be frustrated to lose after playing a crazy match becoz his players failed at the ck ( everybody was standing and watching )

they should atleast gotten a draw to reward him for his efforts to keep the argentintians at only 1 goal , and yeah he did get man of the match after all , great game

 

Re: Argentina vs. Nigeria Post Match Thread

It was won by the least bad team. And I cant wait to see how Maradona sees it like a great game. Any other serious team would have crashed either team. I want to see their games against Korea

 

Re: Argentina vs. Nigeria Post Match Thread

Entertaining match.Could/Should have had more goals though!This match and the Mexico-South Africa match had the best action out of all matches...

 

Re: Argentina vs. Nigeria Post Match Thread

You suck Nigeria! Yobo sucks; Martins sucks; Taiwo sucks; you all suck. I hope you lose all of the rest of your games. What the f*ck have you been doing the last ten years to produce talent? Why is it that tiny African countries like Ghana and CIV can produce gems like Essien and Drogba and we get the likes of Obassi and Yobo?!!

I never had much hope for them, but this was HORRIFYING to watch. I'm never watching any more of their games. I'm rooting for CIV and S. Africa for the rest of the cup. See what you made me do Nigeria?? I'm dome with you. Thanks for wasting the last ten years of my life with your apathy. Pathetic. Just pathetic. I hope you lose to South Korea by ten goals.

 

Re: Argentina vs. Nigeria Post Match Thread

Only thing that went wrong for them was Enyeama.

 

Re: Argentina vs. Nigeria Post Match Thread

Argentina is solid, elite up front, terrible in the back. Nigeria is trash, the keeper most definitely is going to a big club after the World Cup. Probably Juve or Arsenal. Odemwengie should have started, Lars is a retard for that one.

 

Re: Argentina vs. Nigeria Post Match Thread

Enyeama's heroics weren't enough to give his team a result, but he helped keep their chances alive by keeping the score 1-0. At 1-0, Nigeria still has a decent chance of advancing with four points in the last two games.

 

Re: Argentina vs. Nigeria Post Match Thread

By action do you mean missed chances? Korea played very well today and the game had plenty of action.

 

Re: Argentina vs. Nigeria Post Match Thread

Both teams looked uninspired, neither of them wanted to risk an injury and didn't tryied to really create a game, Nigeria must be thinking that Greece and S. Korea should be easy treats and there was nothing to win other than risking injuries today, same for Argentina.

 

Re: Argentina vs. Nigeria Post Match Thread

I honestly think, eventhough they played bad, it was a lack of a good classic 10 and the management for not giving a clear game plan. they were playing to counter attack and work with speed, a physical game, but yet they still did not put a pressure on the argies when they were holding the ball.

 

Re: Argentina vs. Nigeria Post Match Thread

you're out of your mind. 6 points or no chance in this group

 

Re: Argentina vs. Nigeria Post Match Thread

Any quality offensive team would have nailed the Argentine defense to the wall. Midfield was spotty at times as well. I really expected more with all the hype.

 

Re: Argentina vs. Nigeria Post Match Thread

Completely agreed, Jonas and Demichelis were utter crap today.

 

Re: Argentina vs. Nigeria Post Match Thread

Was this a training match for Nigeria? They seemed unwilling to pressure Argentina at all.

 

Re: Argentina vs. Nigeria Post Match Thread

Enyeama is the MOTM
Nigeria is terrible outside of Odemwengie who had that major f**kup with his selfishness.

Messi wrecked havoc but didn't finish. Nigeria need Okocha back.

 

Re: Argentina vs. Nigeria Post Match Thread

After watching Korea, Nigeria will be home after the third game.

 

Re: Argentina vs. Nigeria Post Match Thread

This is true, but I just can't see how we're going to score goals. This hasn't been a problem only for this game. This was a problem in both of our last two African Cup runs, especially in '08. We don't have any craftiness in the midfield. I like our goalkeeping but not our defense. We could lose to Korea and draw Greece and go home with one point like we did in 2002.

 

Re: Argentina vs. Nigeria Post Match Thread

Yeah I meant missed chances:shots wide,great saves etc....The Greece-South Korea match was good too but Greece only started playing in the last 15-20 minutes or so...

 

Re: Argentina vs. Nigeria Post Match Thread

I doubt Korea OR Greece will be able to cope with the Nigerian Wall Enyeama.
Hell, if MESSI couldn't get a shot past that monster, there's no friggin' way that lame Greek team and Korea could.

Messi played hell of a game. The man got in there, and attacked several times.
Our only real problem was Enyeama, really.

 

Re: Argentina vs. Nigeria Post Match Thread

I disagree. Argentina is a team that can potentially deliver a multi-goal defeat against any of its three opponents. If you avoid that outcome, and your rival for second place doesn't, a draw against that same rival becomes a more viable result.

 

Re: Argentina vs. Nigeria Post Match Thread

Higuain was disappointing I thought. He missed a couple of point blank chances in the first half. I'd like to see Diego Milito get the start up front.
