Nigeria Vs Argentina Friendly Match (01-06-2011) 7pm Nigerian Time


1st of June 2011 has been set aside for a game between the super eagles of Nigeria and the ruthless boys of the Argentine national team, though some players like Hugain, Tevez, Messi, Mascherano and the likes of other notable names might miss the final list yet to be released by the coach of Argentina, other names who are rumored to be from their local league are expected to fill into the gap.This is going to be the first grade A match under the tutelage of coach Samson Siasia, is he likely to prove to the whole of Nigeria, Africa and the rest of the world that he has a team or building a team capable of matching any first class national teams out there? your guess is as good as mine.

VENUE: Abuja National Stadium

Time : 7PM Nigerian timeNigeria coach Samson Siasia has left out Osaze Odemwingie from his squad for June's double header against Argentina and Ethiopia.

Instead, Newcastle striker Shola Ameobi has been called up take part in the high-profile friendly against the South Americans in Abuja and an African Nations Cup qualifier in Addis Ababa.

Siasia also handed a recall to defender Yusuf Mohammed to plug the hole at right-back, with Heartland's Chibuzor Okonkwo the only available right-back following the tragic loss of Adefemi Olubayo early this month.

Also recalled is Karabukspor striker Emmanuel Emenike.
