Messi vs Enyeama plus Video Highlights of the match (Arg 1-0 Nig)

Argentina's World Cup campaign started on a bright note, courtesy Gabriel Heinze's diving header in the opening minutes of the match.

Argentina' striker Lionel Messi is undoubtedly the best attacker in the World, and so is the Nigerian goal keeper Vincent Enyeama who plies his trade in Israel.


I am not exaggerating, but I think Enyeama is the best goalie in Africa, at least for now! I bet every Nigerian knew what to expect from the encounter, and albeit we all thought our opponents, who were assembled from the very best Leagues in the World, were more than ready to annihilate us. I know they won, but they fought hard to earn an unconvincing victory.

Some pessimistic fans feared and awaited the worst result given the inexperience of our youthful team. I'm so elated with their performance (although they showed traces of laxity during the match). My heart felt appreciation goes out to the 28-year-old goal keeper who plays for Israeli club Hapoel Tel Aviv - no wonder he has being the country's #1 for the past eight years and still counting, thanks for stopping the best. I hope we'll see more of those unbelievable saves in the near future...

We should have signed him last year when Hapoel asked us for 2mil.We only offered them 750 thou and then bought Sylvestre.Now he'll cost 3 times the price.

I think it's too early to rue any missed chance - lets hope he takes
Nigeria beyond the group stages.
Thanks to our suspect defense, we'll get to see how consistent he
really is in the long run.
Enyeama know how to deal with messi...that why all the team should buy him especially arsenal..

Well, it is only human to praise people who are already on the top,
fellow gooners there are at least 2 games left for the Nigerians at the
World Cup, lets judge him based on his consistency not sentiments.
Enyeama is very hot now, I hope he continues like this
