They exchanged pleasantries with each other before getting on the pitch for the nail-biting encounter at Port Allegre but Argentina’s Lionel Messi and Nigeria’s safe hands, Vincent Enyeama went all out against each other as soon as the match got underway.
Ahmed Musa’s performance in yesterday’s World Cup match is the stuff of legends but Vincent Enyeama’s skill and resilience proved the difference against an Argentine team which boasts of the best scoring pair of legs the world can presently offer.
We can’t help but wonder what Enyeama had to say to Messi before the final group match.
The Nigerian team obviously knew what to expect from Messi in match as the photo above suggests, but Nigeria’s striker and lone goalscorer against Iran, Osaze Odemwingie’s expression in the photo above epitomizes the respect this diminutive South American soccer genius commands – can you see it?
Nigeria lost to Argentina with 3-2 but qualified for the Round of 16 in the world’s greatest footballing spectacle presently underway in Brazil. Congratulations to the Super Eagles!
Common sense is indeed not common.

OFF TOPIC:
Christian mother Meriam Ibrahim was pictured cradling her baby girl in the back seat of a car on Thursday night moments after she was freed by the Sudanese police. Dr Ibrahim had been arrested at Khartoum airport on Tuesday as she and her American husband Daniel Wani tried to leave the country. The mother-of-two, who had been facing a death sentence for converting to Christianity, was accused of trying to use forged travel documents when she presented airport staff with emergency paperwork issued by the U.S. embassy and South Sudan.
The 27-year-old doctor is expected to fly to South Sudan with her husband and two young children, before making her way to the U.S. to start a new life. She has endured nine months of imprisonment after being jailed for adultery and apostasy, for which she was sentenced to death and 100 lashes. Dr Ibrahim, who gave birth to her daughter while shackled to a prison floor last month, had finally been freed from the death sentence on Monday but her hopes of escape were quickly cut short. When she arrived at the airport she was taken back into custody, causing concern for her family and human rights campaigners who had fought for her release.
Her lawyer, Eman Abdul-Rahman, said she was freed on Thursday after pressure from foreign diplomats moved the government to release her. Campaigners however have urged caution and said that they will wait until Meriam actually gets out of Sudan before celebrating. The US State Department is now under pressure to do everything in its power to ensure her swift and safe passage after being criticized by Senators for its response. Dr Ibrahim’s release appeared chaotic as the Associated Press initially said she had been freed, only for multiple media outlets and MailOnline sources to say that she was in fact being kept in for another three days.
Hours later it was revealed that she was being freed.
