First half of the game was a stalemate 0-0.
Though our team played very well, but the Argentines did their thing. I must confess that the guy Messi is good (the guy bad). Any little chance e get, e go won put the ball for net. Finally, it was Maria (jersey #11)that gave the lone goal of the game. After then Nigeria was playing to catch up and the Argentines knew how to waste time while the clock is ticking so that we fit no score. I kinda put the blame on our keeper for rushing out......assume he was back in the goal post, that would have given our men little time to make it back to probably stop Maria but he decided to jump out towards Maria whom chipped the ball over him to score the goal.
Odemwingie tried but missed some good chances.
Overall, our team (flying eagles) played very well.
Everyone thought this was going to be our gold, that we gonna repeat the events of Atlanta '96 Olympics. Some said that History is on our side....anyway, we have seen how it came out.
I can't the weather was so hot that the players were given break to drink some water and cool off, i neva see am before for football o.
Up Super Eagles.....Silver no bad!. At all at all na em worse pass.
