Argentina mid fielder, Javier Mascherano has expressed worry on the Super Eagles of Nigeria. Nigeria and Argentina play today at the ongoing FIFA World Cup in Russia. He said Nigerian team have their strong points and this could be handy for them when both countries met

“It’s a team with interesting players. We saw against Iceland how they suffered in the first half and quite a lot. But they hanged on brilliantly and in the second half he showed their best game in this World Cup”, he told FIFA TV.

“You do not have to give them spaces. With spaces they do a lot of damage to you, because they are very physical players, very fast.
