Separate Reception Etiquette

Argentina-Nigeria, again

As in Atlanta 96, the final of the soccer tournament of Beijing Olympic Games will be an Argentina-Nigeria. However, there is another precedent much closer and will serve as reference: the final two teams played in Holland in the FIFA U-20, 2005. Three years later, the same generations of both countries meet again in final instance. analyzing the onces that meeting in Utrecht found that many of the players repeated on Saturday in Beijing, especially in Nigeria-which shows success is not an accident nor an isolated event. That meeting decantaría what penalties that transformed Lionel Messi, star of the tournament, but was the appearance as a substitute Sergio Aguero, who started making merit to amaze an entire country, which matched a game more unbalanced than expected . Since then, the current favorite Argentina will start as next weekend. Quality is so high that would be very harmful to the rear which are Okonkwo, Apam, Adeleye and Adefemi, very reliable so far but nothing made up of players accustomed to the first level. Both finalists

clearly exceeded the penultimate hurdle, but his goals in Europe were clearly exaggerated. The two games were pretty even until the backlash and frustration ended up becoming the monologues. Was the case of Nigeria, Belgium, in which Africans came out stronger, dominated the opening minutes and went ahead with justice after a failed Simaeys. However, the Europeans took over the ball and then made to tie merit. Only prodigious Vanzekin stops avoided it. Turned up to impress the Dembele, Mirallas and De Mul, but this time it sank Martens Haroun located next to the double pivot. In fact, there were not many alternatives. Today I weighed absences De Sart box: in the 1-0 replacement Kompany failed and the part that no carbide was that the technician had to improvise to meet with Fellaini in midfield. Then the cons and distant shots ended any hope of Belgium, although still alive the illusion of the coin. In Nigeria, a team that is spread over four different positions front-Obinna on the left, the midfielder Ogbuke, Okoronwko Odemwingie on the right and up-again like the great capacity to do damage up. If spaces are left Argentina will suffer.

Brazil-Argentina was developing on the expected channels: low risk, very competitive, rarely. Was matched, although the albiceleste out after the break with the intention to push higher and more difficult the opponent's ball out. But the two claws of Agüero were decisive. Let's say you decided to aim, because after so many of Brazil Kun shot twice in the wood. There will be controversy, because every play dubious benefit to the winning team: the possible hand of the athletic, the goal disallowed with 2-0, the direct red Leiva and Thiago Neves ... Although it was commendable of the current organization Olympic champion with a monumental Gago feels very wrapped by Mascherano and played with a barbaric confidence in attack and defense. He told me some months ago my friend Ariel Judas illusion that the Olympic team that absolute. Because it met their forecasts, because it returned the combined 3-0 at Dunga.
