Gianni Truvianni's "South Africa 210", Maradona's Argentina beats Nigeria by 1-0

Maradona's Argentina beat Nigeria by the score of 1-0 with a goal scored by defender Heinze in the 6th minute of the game to give Argentina's (ex-great player) current coach his first win in a world cup. This in a way being a coincidence since it was Nigeria back in USA 94 who Maradona played in his last game in a world cup as player. It being Argentina who even back then emerged victorious by a score of 2-1 with all goals being scored in the first half. This also being the case today yet it seems to be strange that Argentina has played Nigeria three times in the last five world cups with Argentina coming out on top on all three occasions by only one goal. This despite giving the impression that they could have won by a lot more had they just been able to use even half the clear goal scoring opportunities they created.

As for the match, itself there is not much that can be said for it; other than it holding a fast tempo with chances being wasted on both sides and it being Maradona's first win in the world cup. Regarding Messi, it can be said that he did not disappoint. As he in fact played very well though he in all truth should have scored on more than one occasion in the second half. As for Nigeria, though they did not win, they did give a good account of their football and should progress along with Argentina to the next round of the tournament though it would not be wise for either of these teams to underestimate South Korea.

In conclusion I would say that though not a great match, Argentina vs. Nigeria did keep me entertained with some of the thrills a world cup should contain. This while at the same time allowing me to see Argentina play its first world cup match under Maradona. It being Argentina whom Italy might be forced to play in the later rounds of the tournament though hopefully, it will not end like it did the last time Italy and Argentina played in "Italia 90".
