If Nigeria give up the amount of chances they gave to Bosnia, they will get SMASHED to bits. They can't afford to give Messi space or allow him to go on his runs. That means expert discipline at the back and organisation. It's either that or an Argentine party where they will have the MAJORITY of support.
The key is counter-attack. Iran could have scored two or three. They had great chances, but couldn't put them away. It all came about from defending well and using the ball intelligently. That is where Onazi will be important. He is the midfielder that breaks from his position to attack, and can distribute to Emenike and Osazie.
Moses should play. Nigeria need him because he is Nigeria's best player. Argentina won't defend as well as Iran and that means Moses will have some very good opportunities to exploit the space and do damage with his dribbling and diagonal runs. This is the perfect match for him to play in, as he is the MOST gifter player with the ball that Nigeria have.
Argentina should end up winning this, especially with Yobo defending. But Nigeria have a good chance of winning the game. In truth, they should settle for second and play France rather than doing the Nigerian and playing Switzerland and losing.
