Eagles Can’t Stop Argentina -Analysts Tip Argies For WC Final -Due To Locations, Travel Routes The Super Eagles do not stand any chance of upsetting the applecart against Argentina in Group F of this year’s World Cup, if the verdict of analysts is anything to go by. While the African champions will hope to shock their World Cup nemesis team, who have victories over Nigeria from USA ’94, Korea/Japan 2002 and South Africa 2010 to flaunt, experts of the game are already tipping the South Americans for a frontal clash against the host nation, Brazil in the July 13 final. Nigeria may now have just have to settle for a respectable result against The Argies, when both sides clash on June 26 in Porto Alegre, as analyst’s making permutations for the competition have disclosed that travel plans and locations of Argentina’s matches favour the two-time champions more than any other side in the entire contest. Details of the report indicate that the most likely final is the prospect of Brazil against Argentina, who are said to have a lot going in their favour and Coach Alejandro Sabellas team have also received luck of the draw. This is not merely because their Group F opponents, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Iran and Nigeria are not the most daunting of opponents, but more important is the location of Argentinas matches. Whether they finish first or second in their group, the same observation applies; Argentina will play the entire tournament without going any higher up the country than Brasilia. More significantly, though, Argentina will never have to play in the heat of the North and North East which is not only uncomfortable, it also has a draining effect on performance. This means that all of their matches will be relatively near their own country and, should they make it through to the final, they would certainly arrive in fresher condition than their opponents.
