Match scheduled:Tournament: FIFA World Cup [Group Stage] [Group B]
Match: Argentina vs Nigeria
Date: June 12, 2010 [12-06-2010]
Kick Off Time: 16:00 CET
Stadium: Ellis Park Stadium
Argentina played Nigeria last time in a World Cup match, a certain Lionel Messi was just starting to kick the ball around, and his now-famous growth hormone deficiency had not even been diagnosed.
Nigeria had superstars in Finidi George, Sunday Oliseh and Jay Jay Okocha, while the Albeceleste had Claudia Caniggia, Gabriel Batistuta, Fernando Redondo and Diego Simeone in their ranks. They also had the original Diego. And sadly, it turned out to be Maradona's final match in an Argentina shirt. The game saw Argentina's football god, then 33 years old, produce a
little bit of magic to set up Batistuta, who obliged by scoring the winner. Maradona was then sent
home after failing a drug test for ephedrine. He is now back as manager, Messi has come of age
and Argentina have a whole lot of other stars.

Nigeria will miss their most influential player John Obi Mikel, who is out with injury. But like any
African team, they play without fear.
