Incase you don't know I was watching AIT on saturday morning before the match and a Nigerian football journalist predicted that Argentina will win because Nigeria will find it difficult playing against a good team like Argentina, he also said they'll find it difficult to contain Lionel Messi.

Hommie.....I agreed on the penalty kicks, yes! That's because our defenders got caught sleeping sliding in the box-that's what you don't do as a professional defender. I just don't know why that was the only thing you could point outta my response. WHAT ABOUT WHEN THEIR PLEYERS TOOK DOWN OGBUKE CLEANLY? WHAT ABOUT WHEN ABWO GOT RAN THROUGH LIKE A TRAILER RAN THROUGH SOMETHING? Those calls i have problem with, you gotta call it both ways. I think you just like to see us losing since you guys can't go past us at any level of soccer!! We all watched the same match you watched, so if you think Argentina was strong enough then you must be joking with a capital J. That means you don't know anything about the sport...now that's real!! Freddy Adu did better than you Lionel Messi when they played head to head. FIFA is just tryna make a hype out of nothing. We shall see Argentina next June!

Have you forgotten that he was only 17, although he's 18 right now. He was definitely too young to be playing at that level. The Argentina coach said, he thought he was too young to start the tournament. He definitely proved him wrong.
Do you know that Frank Rijkaard has said that Lionel Messi is definitely going to feature more for Barcelona next season because he's more matured now than he was last season? In case you don't know, he scored in his first match for the senior barcelona team. Ronaldhino said Messi is one of the most talented players he's ever seen and he said that before this competition started and boy he was right. He even warned Brazil to be very careful when playing against Lionel Messi cos he's a very dangerous player.

Because Argentina beat brazil doesn't make them the best! Which game did you watch mehn?? I was actually comparing naija with argenti, you are talking of brazil! Didn't you know that we won the bronze and the silver ball? For one team to win these awards, what des that tell you? We deserved to win all the balls, but like i said FIFA had something else going on. Keep on rolling!!

I was trying to prove to you that if Argentina can beat Brazil and win the competition, then they're definitely a strong team.
Nigeria played Brazil, but they couldn't beat Brazil.
I'm not denying the fact Nigeria is not a good team, I'm only saying that Argentina is a superior football team compared to Nigeria. Hope you understand me bro.

Dawg..why u talking as if you didn't even watch the tournament? For you to say this argentine team is a superior football team is the most overrated compliment i've ever heard! Name 4 good players out of that team, who play ed center midfield for them? I don't think you'll know anyone of them expect for Messi, which is obvious! Don't wait long to answer my question, i know you'r still online!!

You're really interesting bro.
I don't need to prove anything to you. I know that I'm a fan of Argentina.
How can you be asking me a question and giving me conditions?
Here's a list of the Argentine players for the final and you can make up your mind as to which player is good because it's all a matter of opinions OK.
Oscar Ustari, Lautano Formical, Julio Barroso, Juan Manuel Torres, Gabriel Paletta, Pablo Zabaleta, Ezequiel Garay, Rodrigo Archubi, Fernando Gago, Lionel Messi, Gustavo Oberman.

I believe you're talking about Ariel Ortega. He wasn't sent off for diving (as you claimed in your earlier post), he was sent of for violent conduct. It' not something unusual in football and as you might remember, David Beckham was also shown a red card for violent conduct against Argentina.
