In March, Nigeria and Cote D’Ivoire are set to play friendly matches against Lionel Messi’s Argentina.
This encounter adds another chapter to the longstanding rivalry between Nigeria and Argentina, especially in the context of World Cup history. Despite being drawn in the same group in the last three World Cup appearances, Nigeria has consistently fallen short against Argentina, remaining in the role of the second-best team. The upcoming friendlies provide an opportunity for these teams to showcase their skills and strategies ahead of future competitions.
Nigeria and Argentina are familiar foes. The last three times that the Super Eagles have made the World Cup, they were drawn in the same group with Argentina. However, Nigeria has always been second-best.
