nigeriafans.jpgToday we're live in Johannesburg as Nigeria's Super Eagles prepare to take on Diego Maradona's Argentina.

Nigeria did better than expected at the African Nations Cup earlier this year, making it all the way to the semi-finals of the competition - but the team was riven with mistrust.

Meanwhile Argentina struggled through their qualifying campaign, only going through right at the death. Maradona's style of management is certainly under question - but fans are hoping the man who was one of the World Cup's greatest ever players will be able to do something as a manager.

The last time these two played at the World Cup finals in 2002, Argentina got their only tournament victory. Will Nigeria get revenge?
