Roh should not defend against Argentina out of fear, they have a porous defence and our attack should be an advantage
USe
Musa and Moses side wings
Iwobi attacking midfield
Ihanacho as the main striker

And we'll beat Argentina mercilessly
Our greatest mistake would be going on defence against those weak argentine squad, Messi is their only threat and if we don't get an early goal through their wrecked defence he would definitely punish us at the end

Etebo should be drafted back to DM position to mark messi with Ndidi. Iwobi should start behind 2 strikers. Iheanacho and Simy.

Why is everyone talking about winning for Arg or Nig but not a possibility of a draw should Croatia win or draw with Iceland.Draw at times qualifies a team.
Arg Nig draw
Croatia wins or draw

Croatia 9 or 4pts
Nigeria 6 or 4pts
Argentina 4pts( 3 goals against)
Iceland 1pt

Goal differences.....

Or am I wrong?
Pls put me tru.

Like head to head comes into play before goal difference in FIFA competitions except the rules has been changed. Nigeria and Angola comes to mind.

This rule has been dumped since.

Head to head now ranks lower than GD and goals.

With my own little football knowledge, I suggest that the Super Eagles should play to give the impression to the Argentines that they are looking for a draw. Messi efforts should be frustrated, he should not be given the chance to dribble or shoot with his left leg close to the goal area. This might frustrate the Argentines as they will be more and more desperate to score as time goes on by giving a little attention to their defence. Nigeria should be ready to capitalised on any opportunity to counter attack, utilised the opportunities to score goals. If we could score first in the 1st half, I believe Argentina will be shocked, be under more tension and become more frustrated which could only mean an open wide road to concede more goals for them. We should also try to avoid unnecessary back and short passes around the goal areas and also to avoid silly mistakes in the box 18 that could lead to a penalty kick. Phychologically, Nigeria is more stable as a result of our last match and in an advantage to win the match than Argentina.

Many people might not like what I am about to say next however I will still say it. "I am not that really confident with our defence and hopefully they do better today. If all goes well, I predict the match to end 2-1 in favour of the the Super Eagles.

Re: Nigeria Vs Argentina: World Cup (1 - 2) On 26th June 2018 by phreakabitoo: 3:23pm On Jun 26, 2018
I think we should approach this game with a formation similar to Diego Atletico's style 3-6-1. Baring in mind that we need at least a draw, while they DESPERATELY need a high margin win. I have watched Argentina through out qualification and one thing is prominent in their play... Their mid fielders like to play overhead long diagonal passes. They will be expecting us to play 3-5-2 so they can punish us with those passes.However playing 3-6-1 will afford us the following benefits. In a nutshell


Two sitting DM's who can collapse into the defense and form a flat 5 man defense wall.

Four extra midfielders who can fall deep and form a 6 man DM line.

Plenty of Passing Options.

Messi will be seeing a lot of the ball,being Argentina's supposed Messiah. But a clustered midfield, will make it very hard for him to run or create. As is common knowledge, he never performs to capacity against Atletico due to this. this formation will also keep him far out of his preferred free kick range.
PS: I have been a barca fan for well over 2 decades, so I know.

High intensity:
Since there will usually be at least five midfielders and one attacker pressing, it can be very difficult for the opposing team to find a way out of their half. This high press style is always tough to deal with, but it becomes even more difficult when you aren’t used to so many players pressing the ball. It can lead to great counterattacking opportunities and it lowers the chances of the opponents finding a clean way out.
Figure one shows what it looks like on paper and figure two shows what it actually looks like

Most Teams Don’t Know How to Play Against It
Most managers have never had to deal with the 3-6-1, because the 3-6-1 formation, also known as the “Christmas Tree” formation, has seldom been used outside of Germany and Japan. This might be to our advantage as our current coach is a German.

They will get desperate.
Considering we require at least a draw and we will basically be parking the bus for most of the duration of this game, they will be forced to come out in desperation looking for a goal.This is where we could easily punish them with Ahmed Musa or Victor Moses's pace, as most the Argentine defense is rather slow. The faster ones Tagliafico and old man Mascherano, love to overlap.
