SE has never defeated a none European team at the Worldcup

The Nigerians lost a group game to Paraguay at the 1998 tournament, so have been defeated in all five of their World Cup matches versus South American opposition.

Nigeria's six World Cup wins have all come against European sides - they have never beaten opposition from another continent.
The only previous time the Super Eagles won back-to-back World Cup games was in 1998, when they defeated Spain and Bulgaria in their first two matches.

The Super Eagles have lost all four of their previous World Cup games against Argentina, with all of those defeats by single-goal margins (1-0 in 2002 and 2010, 2-1 in 1994, 3-2 in 2014).

What do you suggest Nigeria do to overcome this phobia against South American teams? Is it a case of playing more friendlies against South American teams rather than Europeans teams? Or do we sent coaches to Brazil for courses rather than Europe? Do get our clubs to tour South America during the of season? I am interested in your opinion

Nigeria has played a total of three matches at the World Cup that were not against a European team or Argentina. Of those three, one was a loss to Paraguay after we had already won the group in 1998 and the other two were draws against in Asian sides in matches where we dominated possession but just couldn't finish off chances.

There is no issue with non-European matches. The real problem is that we cannot seem to beat Argentina and are continually drawn with them. It seems like we will not be serious contenders until we exercise that demon. I have a feeling the two are related.

If I was NFF, I will start a yearly derby/league with Argentina, Brazil and one other African team (the reigning Champion). It will be a money-spinner for sure

South American teams are too savvy. Dem get too much football sense. It is not enough to play well to beat them. You have to be clinical in attack and stingy on defense. We are usually one or the other but not both.

How come Iceland and Croatia had no problems with Argentina?
