the Good old days where everywhere in the streets of Nigeria is always quite when the eagles are playing.. we've missed so many good times in this country.

Mittwwww! They should start preparing for next U20 world cup. This one is a goner.

But why is it that in every fifa competition, if they no set Argentina for us na Brasil they go set. I hate playing this South Americans. Even if na Germany, France or England they give us, we still get hope but South!

Argentina already have one goal advantage over Nigeria even before the match kicks off, the referee must give them a penalty in that game, that is what they always do.

I don't see this team progressing, they aren't playing good and smart football, they just run around the field, no play maker and good stickers. But something can still happen with prayers and hardwork

The Road to Atlanta 96 Gold was very similar.
Managing to beat Hungary 1-0 courtesy of a 2nd half strike by Nwankwo Kanu while Japan beat Brazil 1-0 in the other group match. It was followed by a hard-fought 2-0 victory over Japan and a loss to Brazil (0-1) before beating Mexico 2-0 in the Quarter-finals. In same hope I predict ARGENTINA UNDER 20 v NIGERIA UNDER 20(1-4).
You are dreaming!

It is finished but come the 3 countries from Africa are all playing south American countries:

Nigeria vs Argentina
Gambia vs Uruguay
Brazil vs Tunisia

Hope this is not a plot to eliminate African countries from the game
From stats, only Gambia will go through

had it been we came second we would have played England because Italy is playing England for coming second. So between England and Argentina which do you prefer?
We would have topped the group if we had avoided defeat to Brazil. & that would have earned us an easier fixture against Slovakia that managed to qualify as 3rd place in group B with 3pts. (1D vs 3BEF)

&to your question; Argentina is a tougher opponent not only in pedigree but also as the hosts. smiley

Be realistic some of the 96 squad were at the Tunisia 94 nations cup won by Nigeria. Okocha, Amokachie, Uche Okechukwu, Amuneke etc

Naija squad of 94 n 96 are the best squad so far till date

Realistically it's going to be a tough match for the flying eagles. Although anything can happen in football, Nigeria faces a herculean task against Argentina.

I am not being fake.
Antecedents of qualifying for both teams and their group matches are similar. DON'T FORGET OUR ATLANTA 96 EAGLES LOST 1-3 TO TOGO IN A FRIENDLY IN THE NATIONAL STADIUM EN ROUTE ATLANTA 96 YET THE BRACED UP AND PULLED A CREDIBLE FEAT. THE SOUTH AMERICANS ARE BEATABLE IN FRONT OF THEIR OWN HOME CROWD.

Then Nigeria had a bright chance to go toe to toe with any top teams due to d quality of d team. Even when Italy defeated Nigeria in 94 world cup knock out stage, Nigeria super eagles head were held high, it was one of d toughest matches in world cup history.


But dis current crop of players realistically cannot be compared to our young players of d 90s.


Though anything can happen in football it would be a tough test playing Argentina. Even during d set of Mikel, taye taiwo etc Argentina beat them

And who do you think Brazil is playing? It would have be an Africa affair because Brazil is playing Tunisia.

In as much as i will like us to respect Argentina this current Argentina under 20 is not spectacular, there did not qualify during the south America qualifier there only qualify to the competition as host.
