MATCH 4: JOHANNESBURG, 3PM

Nil-Nil...Maradona sent off for snorting the tech area.

CorkMan

Messi to up his game for Argentina and score a goal while assisting Higuain. 2-0 to Argentina, possibly 3.

who is first choice up front?

Higuain, Milto, Aguero? Tevez?

Obviously Messi is a definite starter.

Hasn't Higuain only played 5/6 times for the Argies?

Serious bloody strikeforce though !!

Hope the Argies score a hatfull tomorrow.

Iirc this fixture was one of the best of USA '94.

nipps

i wanna c lots and lots of goals!!!!

Headshot

Tevez and Messi start for sure anyway

Was expected to be Higuain upfront with Messi partnering him, and Di Maria and Gutierrez at left and right midfield.

There's rumours about though that Gutierrez may be pushed back to right-back, which should open the door for Tevez I guess?

Kiwi_knock

It is meant to be a strike force of Messi, Tevez and Higuain. But that all depends on what Maradona dreams of tonight.

Ferris_Bueller

Looking forward to this game, havn't watched Argentina in a while but from what I hear they have a bizarre style of play. Didn't they play Canada about 2 weeks ago and play Di Maria and Guttierrez left and right back?? Went on to win 5-0 and this was without Messi.

Could be a serious contender if things go their way, but then again they could flop completely. I'll go 2-0 Argentina.

RichTea

I think Nigeria have quite an underrated squad. They have some very good players all the way through.

Argentina to win though.

Mrmoe

Should be a great game with lotas of goals. I think the match up between both is a good indicator of lots of goals. 3-2 or 3-1 to Argentina.

_Bella_

I wouldn't rule out Nigeria.

Last friendly was a 4-4-2, Messi and Higuain up front.

FreeOSCAR

Diego said Tevez is definitely starting....

Podge2k7

Hopefully its a good game, with a few goals.

Im going for an Argentina win.

gustavo

Looking forward to this game

Argentina I think should win easily enough maybe 3-1

JPA

Looking forward to this, will be very interesting.

Vokes

Tevez starting and Gutierrez at RB. Noice!

El Diego is going gung-ho.

anplaya

does he still play for newcastle ?jonas?

pickarooney

Both Marseille left-backs should be starting this.

ShooterSF

Usually Argentina are my adopted nation but hard to cheer on Tevez and Heinze Also to be fair to Nigeria their prince is sending me on some serious cash soon once the paper work is sorted..

MagicMarker

BBC realise the Argies are playing Nigeria, and not Germany right?

MementoMori

Surely Guiterrez won't actually play RB?

Anyone care to predict how the team will line-up?

Irwin getting very excited about this (well the Dinny version of excited:D )

steelcityblues

Notice the colours on Darragh Maloney's tie?

He does

As mad as a bag of cats.

Beeb fuzzy sparkle on Kanu there.

Anyone spot Klinsmann grinning like an utter loon there??

Bizarre

Cypher_sounds

This game should be enjoyable to watch, will be interesting to see how Maradonna manages the side if it doesn't go to plan from early on for him.

It'll be 3-4-3. I reckon. They've been using that formation in training with Messi just behind Tevez and Higuain.

MementoMori

Someone on the phone on RTE???

BBC showed a 3 man midfield with Di Maria on the left of it and Veron on the right of it.

I think it'll be more like 4-2-4 !

Will be interesting to see what Nigeria have to offer.

monkey9

Argentina are gonna be fun to follow in this tournament.

3-1 to the Argies!!

Blobby George

Maradona looks like a bouncer.

anplaya

stadiums have been half empty so far for the games.this looks like its fullish

Cypher_sounds

I'm going for 5-0 to argentina, good to see veron i enjoy watching him play.

MementoMori

Big Mick co-commentator on the Beeb - could well be some classic moments from him.

Lots of goals in this hopefully

Jazzy

surprised aguero isnt starting considering maradonna is crazy & his father in law. im really liking the shape of the first xi, except of course for the full backs

ooh cud have done better,nigeria look like theyre looking to expose the flanks

Guy:Incognito

The exact opposite of what to do when you beat the defender and get in to a good position to put a decent cross in.

Xavi6

Bad miss

anplaya

ooh close

The first hint of his voice has driven me back to the land of the loud Vuvuzela - RTE.

Podge2k7

Terrible miss from Higuain there.

MementoMori

Guitterez dodgy at Rb already

Higuain should have scored.

Messi looking lively
