    I cannot see anything more than a 1-0 score.
    I see a 0-0 HT.
    Nigeria has the athletes to lock down an opponent and has shown it. They have yet to allow a goal. That kind of pride on defense will help them here. Arg has no answer for when opponents pack it in. Are they gonna solve that here?
    Messi is in good form, but I don't see him in breakaways and open spacing. 
    I hate the unders in any of these games. We've seen late ridiculous scoring, and record number  of goals overall.

    Why are people predicting a bustout blowout match from Argentina? What am I missing?

    Sorry, I don't have time to get to all your responses.

    I am 1-3 on undress this WC. Got burned on Greece under in last with defenses giving up in added time.

    I think Nigeria stays within a goal and will be taking the gamble on an African side to stay close here. Iran not as physical as Nigeria. Arg will struggle this afternoon. They need a tuff game and a character test. Here it is.

    Nigeria need a draw possibly to secure classification. They could park the bus.
    But...
    Di Maria, Higuain, Aguero and even Messi (despite the two goals) have been well below standard on their usual play. No pressure today. They could unleash. I'm not touching this.

    I think this is the public sentiment out there. Plus the record Arg has vs Nigeria in WC play 4-1, and the lack of respect for African teams overall. Argentina is dangerous, and people are betting on that calibre of bullet in the barrel. I just think the bullets stay in the barrel, and Nigeria here is gonna get a surprising draw. 
    I am leary of African players taking bribes. They are poorer, and need the cash. They do fix games in Africa--fact. I may opt / buy out at the half. Regardless, Arg is NOT worth it at -1---sucker bet!!!!!!!!!

    I also see this as a 1-1 draw.

    Iran-Bos also appears to be low scoring, but I am not betting on unders anymore.

    On Pinnacle Argentina has moved to -1 & -1.5. The bookies are seeing an easy win to Argentina. It's just a matter of how much. I'm starting to think a 2-0 win to Argentina if not more.

    I dunno. African teams outside of Algiers have been quiet...I like Ghana and Nigeria to jump up BIG with key wins. I like Ghana vs Port, but ???? Nigeria needs help from Arg to deal one in and kill the public.

    I know absolutely NO-thing about "futball" except is is usually a to watch with the lack of scoring BUT these World Cup games have been by and large pretty good and checking results thru the June 25th early games including Argentina vs Nigeria (3-2 final), the OVER 2 1/2 = 29 - 13
