In terms of performance, it can't get any worse for Argentina. I actually thought that when Jorge Sampaoli got the job he would sort out the structure of the team and build it in a fashion that made Lionel Messi return. Messi has returned but they just don't have any answers. They don't know what to do, they have no DNA and they have absolutely no fluency.
What I cannot believe is that he cannot get Sergio Aguero, Gonzalo Higuain and Paulo Dybala into the team with the way Messi plays. For me, it's staring him in the face, just play them all together and go for it. The defence isn't great, we know that, but he has to take the biggest risk of all time now. I see this game being a bit like Germany's against Sweden. Pressure will come on Argentina but this time we'll see an answer from Messi. On the other hand, it's a stunning opportunity for Nigeria and they will make life difficult for Messi and co.

I still think Argentina will make it out of Group D, despite their disastrous result against Croatia.
I am not surprised at the reports the Argentina players have had a meeting and called for manager Jorge Sampaoli to be sacked - they were all over the show tactically in that game.
So, something could be brewing there, and it might just bring the best out of Lionel Messi and Sergio Aguero.
I think Argentina will win, but whether that will be enough for them is out of their hands.
Nigeria's fate is under their own control, and they may feel they only need a point to progress.
I am not sure that will help them here. They are at their best if they go on the attack, but they seem unwilling to do so.
