Why wouldn't he? They always find a way to beat us; therefore, facing Nigeria is a guaranteed three (3) points in the bag for them. However, he better be careful because he could be surprised this time.

Maybe partly due to the fact that Nigeria generally plays clean.

Maybe so because they (Argentina) cheats a lot - diving, scoring with hand, re-starting when the ref hasn't signal for play to resume - and et al.

They cheated in the 2010 game.

Their goal should have been disallowed if officiated properly. Chinedu Obasi was fouled by the Argentine, before the goal was scored.

We have to find the original Spanish interview against Ecuador.

because I can't find anywhere where he says he fancies Nigeria. The only thing I have found is that the game against Nigeria in the Olympics was one of his favourite games ever for Albiceleste.

but then again, does it matter....whether he said it or not, it is obvious that is what he thinks.

Our wikipedia World Cup article states that our 2014 goal against Bosnia was controversial, I have edited the article to also state that the Gabriel Heinze goal was controversial, and even provided a reference. If it doesn't stick, I will delete the 'controversial' re the Bosnia goal and see what happens.
