Argies Vs Nigeria


Recommended Posts

Prediction...3-3, both teams hungry to really kick the tournament off and both not best known for their defending prowess. Hoping for a cracker but fear (hope) that the cards will be out for the Argentinians ideally a red for Madonna ala nickh's.

Hoping Nigeria change tactics a little and start ti rile them. Much as I admire the kind of qulity slick football that they are serving up atm, I want themn to struggle for two reasons; it will clear the path for England, Madonna's post match rantings. Let us not forget this little cracker:

 

 

On second thoughts I would love it, absolutely love it if he lost the plot after we tonk them in the final. We can dream eh..

Nigeria persevering down the flanks might just nick one although I'd concentrate on the left back, he likes giving throw-ins away..

 

Maradonna seems to riding his luck too, if the officials tolerate too much nonsense I will be very dissapointed, shut him up and it should unsettle them on the field too.

Am not impressed by either of those teams, Nigeria were so bad that it was easy for the Argies and made them look better than they actually were. When they come up against better opposition I think that they'll struggle, especially with the lack of pace and energy in their defence.

 

Still think that Holland and possibly Germany will be the biggest dangers to the Spanish.

 

With everything that's been written about the ball, I can't understand why more players are not trying long shots? Something which I think will be rectified by both the Germans and the Dutch, with the type of midfielders both teams have. Other than tonights game of course, I am really looking forward to what should be a good game between Holland and Denmark on Monday lunchtime.

Argentina will do alright but they will come undone against teams which take their chances.

 

Exactly my thoughts, excellent going forward and would have had 4 or 5 today had it not been for Nigeria's keeper. They did look suspect at the back though. Can't understand why Maradona is playing an attacking winger in Guitierez at RB when he has Burdisso on the bench either.

And Zanetti in reserve...crazy.
