Let the story continue .... It's true, nobody knows! Yes, it's true, the countries of Argentina and Nigeria have been battling it out for the better part of twenty years on the pitch, yet somehow, nobody even really notices. So when these two tango on June 12th in their first Group B match, believe me, it will be extremely heated.

It is interesting to note that Nigeria has never defeated Argentina in the World Cup and this will be the third meeting between these two countries in the group stage. Argentina was victorious in the '94 and '02 campaigns, and in the '95 Confederations Cup, Nigeria could only muster up a draw in another group stage match against the Argentineans. Strangely, however, Nigeria beat Argentina in the Olympic Gold Metal match in '96 but lost to them in Gold Metal at the Beijing Olympics 2008. Argentina beat Nigeria again in the 2005 youth FIFA Under-20 World Cup final. But since '93, Nigeria has beaten Argentina four out of five times at the youth FIFA Under-17 World Cup games. The history begins heating up at a young age, but as the players get older, the Argentines seem to excel more than the Nigerians do. And the talent is evident at this year's World Cup. World Cup betting is keeping a close eye on this rivalry.

Argentina brings with them a plethora of talent up front. It's likely that they have more talent than they need to do the job. Last year's FIFA World Player Of The Year Lionel Messi (club: Barcelona) will be leading the charge along with super talented goal scorers Carlos Tevez (Manchester City) and Sergio Aguero (Atletico Madrid, possibly linked with a move to English club powerhouse Chelsea). Veteran forward Diego Milito from Inter Milan and youngster Gonzalo higuain (Real Madrid) further enhance the attacking prowess. The Defense is anchored by World Cup veterans Walter Samuel (Inter Milan), Javier Zanetti (also Inter Milan), Gabriel Heinze (French club Marseille), and Martin Demichelis (German juggernaut Bayern Munich). Midfield will be sparse but serviceable with Maxi Rodriguez and Javier Mascherano from Liverpool, as well as Esteban Cambiasso (Inter Milan player), who hope to support the many forwards.

As head coach Diego Maradona, yes that Maradona, tries to implement a game plan for the team, it is clear that this team's toxic nature is their anchor. Since he became manager in 2008, his personal struggles with drug addiction, alcoholism and inability to cope with cultural fame have caused some disagreements. Maradona's philosophical differences have led to key players leaving the team, while his campaign was rocky. A bad showing for a country that has appeared in the World Cup fourteen times and won it twice will mean the end for the controversial Maradona, and World Cup betting.

Here comes Nigeria, the solution for the Argentineans. Not to say Nigeria will lay over and die, because they bring a talented, but less experienced squad to the Cup. With this being their fourth appearance, not much will be expected from them. The players and their country know that they can make a difference. Nwankwo Kanu (forward) and John Utaka (midfielder) both play for Portsmouth in England's Premier League. http://www.mugglebookclub.com/how-to-win-lottery-scratch-offcards/ They will be counted as part of the scoring. John Obi Mikel (Chelsea), a midfielder, has not lived up to the youth hype but is a highly productive player. Defender Joseph Yobo (Everton) is an old-school type of physical player with experience in previous World Cups. Nigeria's speed can usually counter any lack of talent they have on the field, but going up against quick attackers the likes of a Messi or Tevez will be a handful.

In the end, Argentina's past against Nigeria and its success in previous World Cups will be more than anything Nigeria can offer. http://factcheckathon.com/lotto-systems-a-different-way-to-win-the-lotto/ This game is sure to be high-score, with the result in favor of the Argentineans by at most one goal.
