Former Argentina midfielder, Sebastian Veron has predicted Argentina to go through the World Cup 2018 group stage ‘without a problem’, but he is unsure of what to expect from Nigeria.

The South Americans were pitted alongside the West Africans – fifth time in all their six appearances at the finals, Croatia and Iceland in Group D.

“The group in which Argentina is not easy, but it is good that it did not get any big national team,” Veron was quoted as saying by Dnevno.

“Argentina should go through the finals without a problem, and it is good that the quarter-finals do not cross with big teams. That means we have a few games to clear the shape and become even stronger.

“Nigeria is unpredictable. They always come to us in the group. African players are actually unstable and depend on what they have a day before and how they feel ahead of the game,” he continued.

“Croatia is not bad, it has players in the strong clubs in Europe. Truth, the World have gone through the play, but should not be underestimated. We are stronger than them, but we should be careful.

“Iceland has no experience at these championships, but they have played well in the Euro and through qualifications. We can not label it as a surprise, but as a growing representation

i like this comment ... but the headline is faultY , Nigeria will top the group

Nigeria need to stop giving away silly free kicks in the wrong area of the pitch and defend corners better. Then we will have a chance in this world cup

Nigeria played Argentina 4 times in the world cup. Argentina scored 7 goals while Nigeria sored 3. Nigeria's 3 goals are all from open play while Argentina has only scored one goal from open play against us. so that tells me if we defend set pieces better and prevent giving away free kicks in the wrong areas of the pitch then we will be ok.

Of Argentina's 6 goals from set pieces 3 are from avoidable free kicks while 3 are from corner kicks that could have been defended better. So when people say Africans are indiscipline this is what they mean.

In this 2018 world cup, I know the team is young but we must learn not to give away cheap goals. Teams will not outplay us by a great deal because of our genes and energy which is while black people lead in Athletics and boxing. But we must learn to be disciplined and organised if we want to go far.
