Lionel Messi just turned 27 years of age this past week and the Nigerians knew what was coming and could not stop it. Messi strikes in the 3rd minute and in the 45' + 1' of the 1st half as the Argentinians go onto beat a feisty Nigerian Squad dba "Super Eagles" 3-2.
Messi did get some help as Argentina did get the game-winning strike from Marcos Rojo in the 50th minute to break up a 2-2 tie. The Nigerians answered everyone of Messi's Goals as they get both scores from Ahmed Musa in the 4th and 47th minute only for Rojo scores in the 50th minute to be the deciding factor.
Now Argentina had already advanced with the first two victories as they win the Group with 9 points. The Nigerians loss to Argentina but get some good news as Bosnia beat the Iranians as that Iran Loss puts the "Super Eagles" in the Knockout Rounds. Argentina has Messi and the "Super Eagles" have All-World Goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama and both look to be string contenders moving into that Round of 16.
