Almost half time. I doubt Greece will be able to pull 2 back.
Argentina are favorites for the next match, but lessee...
You mean full-time?
Argentina should win. All this hype about it!

I'm predicting a draw or a narrow Argentina win, neither teams seem to perform. Having said that Argentina have an abundance of quality players and it only takes a few of them to shine to produce a comfortable win.

England will scrape an unconvincing 1-0 win over the USA later imo. They'll do what they always do, turn up expecting the 3 points to be a formality and end up scraping it. That said, a win's a win.

I'd love Nigeria to get something against the Argies but can't see it happening. Even with all their problems and the clueless tool they've got in charge, they should win with the talent they've got on show.

Edit: Maybe it's not beyond Nigeria - Guittierez at right back? Eh?

Nigeria are giving the ball away far too cheaply and they're wasting the set piece opportunities they're getting. They're going to have to tighten it up a bit if they want to stay in the game.

They've got their keeper to thank for not being 2 or 3 goals down already.

More poor marking from a set piece from Nigeria, I can only see one team scoring atm.

Another very good save from Nigeria's keeper, they'll be wanting to make sure Argentina don't score another before half time.

Half time 1-0, Nigeria not out of it yet but Argentina have been very, very comfortable.

Oh god, Greece-South Korea was almost as bad as France-Uruguay yesterday, take away the goals and even less happened.

This has been an interesting game so far as both teams have had their fair share of chances and Argentina have even more weaknesses than I thought. What the hell is Guiterrez doing at right back?

Argentina has good swarming defence??? named it right did I? Nigeria's Goalie has been doing great i have to agree about that. Still only 1-0 Argentina lets see what happens after halftime.
Oh yeah, Enyeama looks brilliant. With Foster off to Birmingham then we could sign him if Kuszczak turns out not to possess the qualityto replace VDS.

I think if Lagerback makes a couple of tactical change, maybe even a substitute at half time then Nigeria could be in here.

I am seriously loving this game after this i am gonna watch the England VS USA but yea if they keep the goalie in and change one defender idk his name and one forward then Nigeria will have a better chance but I still want Argentina to win =P.

He needs to change the system tbh, Argentina are overwhelming them and look lethal every time they break forward.

That and the fact Nigeria's forwards aren't getting any support.

I can't see them keeping the same lineup and formation for the second half, it just isn't working.
