It is the final matchday in Group D of the FIFA World Cup in Russia as the Super Eagles of Nigeria will be keen to cause a major upset by eliminating a star-studded Argentine national team.
The question the World will ask is HOW ?
-Pace is the number one weapon of the young Nigerian and with Leicester City duo of Ahmed Musa and Kelechi Iheanacho running the Channels,the likes of Mascherano and Otamendi are up for a tough and long acceleration day in defensive duties.
-Super Eagles must stop the habit of conceding a penalty per ninety minutes as such moment could be very decisive in the tie and the South Americans are theatrically talented.
-One of the major inefficiency of the teams from Africa are set-plays.
Nigeria have conceded from corner kicks and free kicks every time they have met on the global stage and the Messi magic from dangerous can't be underestimated while the area prowesses of Otamendi and few others can't be overlooked.
-There match will be tension soaked thereby leading to the required disciplinary performance by the Turkish referee to dish out some Yellows and Red(s) as the mark of authority in the match.
Therefore,John Obi Mikel and the lads should keep their cool in the tensed moments and there will be situations where the Argentines will surround the referee to force decisions.
Super Eagles should not fall for tricks and pranks.
Prediction : NIGERIA 4-0 ARGENTINA
Iheanacho x 3 and Ahmed Musa
Soar Super Eagles
