Argentina
Although it has reached the qualification from the South American group only the in last minute, the ‘albiceleste “is undoubtedly one of the big favorites of the event. Argentina is one of the teams most expected not only to the great tradition ennobled by the two world championship titles in 1978 and 1986, but especially for the goodness of the rose available, just to say some name Messi, di Maria, Mascherano.
“Lionel Messi seems ‘tired’ for the appointment with the World Cup, due to the long, hard season that played in Barcelona” – said the athletic trainer of Argentina, Fernando Signorini, stating that “the damage has been done and is irreversible. ”
Asked how it will prepare Messi in the last few hours prior to the match of Argentina on Saturday against Nigeria, Signorini said that “the idea is to do more than is necessary.” Messi has been training today with his companions, during which the coach Maradona, has deployed what probably will be the team that will face Nigeria: Sergio Romero; Jonas Gutierrez, Martin Demichelis, Walter Samuel, Gabriel Heinze; Juan Sebastian Veron, Javier Mascherano, Angel Di Maria; Lionel Messi; Carlos Tevez, Gonzalo Higuain.
According to Spicebets prediction software Argentina can win thanks to its star attack and weak opponent’s defence, but Nigeria is a phisical team with a strong midfield. Asked for the team of Nigeria, defender Heinze pointed out that Argentina will play three defenders (besides himself, Samuel and Demichelis). “Jonas Gutierrez will give us free space on the right, but always play – he concluded – with a four-man defensive line.”.
NIGERIA
It was a process net and free of stains the one that brang Nigeria to South Africa 2010. Directly admitted to the second stage due to their FIFA rankings, the team had to face two qualifying rounds: the first group saw the “eagles” opposed to South Africa, Sierra Leone and Equatorial Guinea. In this case one can speak of a complete triumph, with six victories in six games. The football shown in this first group was sparkling, with net results and clear statement. The first in the group has also secured access to the second and final group for the qualification: The Nigeria was included in Group B with Tunisia, Kenya and Mozambique, closing again without defeat the gave direct access to the World after an absence of eight years.
VERDICT
There are no doubt on the team, the doubt are all on the manager Maradona. Argentina play a football without organization and it’s the reason of the last-minute qualification for the World Cup. Nigerians are playing at home Africa and won’t be an easy team for anyone. I would pick an over 2,5 here

INTERNAZIONALE
Calm, relaxed and above all ready. Jose Mourinho faces his last hours that separate him from the final with an almost Zen attitude, ready to avoid any controversy and every item that might distract from the objective: to win the Champions League.
“The Final Champion is always important. I believe in a particular significance for the Inter fans, 45 years is a long time. Most of these were not born last cup won. Tomorrow will be special for the club and the fans and I am honored to give my contribution. I will feel the pressure tomorrow, I know. I know what happens: I wake up tomorrow and say ‘Urca, the final game in a few hours’, the heart beat faster, the temperature rises, then a normal day. When I left the bus and it all ends I feel in my natural habitat. The next game is more important to me. Inter and Bayern in the final? It was unpredictable, but things change. It is no coincidence the two teams are just arriving here. I do not know if there are stronger teams than us. ”
“There are no star players or important. It is not important who will score more, it’s all about team. Mine is a team of stars, the team is indeed the real star. ”
BAYERN MUNICH
The student and the teacher, so alike and so different. Van Gaal crowns Mourinho, but it reaffirms the traits of distinction. “It ‘s special – said the coach of Bayern Monaco – but plays a defensive football and has provided fantastic players.”
Nevertheless, Van Gaal Is sure to win, “Yes, we can win. We’re not the strongest in Europe but in football it happens, you should also have a little ‘luck as us in Manchester. I remain – has continued to coach the Germans – that Barcelona has played the best football this season, but certain games are marked by episodes.” Who knows what the fans think of Fiorentina to read these statements after their elimination in the second round was decisive just a sensational goal of the attacker offside Bayern Klose.
Returning to Mourinho Van Gaal says: “We worked together three years (Barcelona, Ed) and has always shown a very strong character, I even made the team train occasionally to my place, which I never done with anyone. I can not make comparisons with him – he reiterated the coach of Bayern – but my philosophy is to attack, while he played more defense, the image of Bayern has changed we have offered a more interesting game, the Germany is with us. “
