Caption this: What was Enyeama telling Messi before the Nigeria/Argentina match? (SNAPSHOT)

Messi Enyeama

by Akan Ido

They exchanged pleasantries with each other before getting on the pitch for the nail-biting encounter at Port Alegre but Argentina’s Lionel Messi and Nigeria’s safe hands, Vincent Enyeama went all out against each other as soon as the match got underway.

Ahmed Musa’s performance in today’s World Cup match is the stuff of legends but Vincent Enyeama’s skill and resilience proved the difference against an Argentine team which boasts of the best scoring pair of legs the world has offer.

We can’t help but wonder what Enyeama had to say to Messi before the final group match though.

The Nigerian team obviously knew what to expect from Messi in the match as their pensive look in the photo above suggests, but Super Eagles striker and lone goalscorer against Iran, Osaze Odemwingie’s expression in the shot reflects the respect and admiration this diminutive South American soccer genius commands – can you see it?

Nigeria lost to Argentina with 3-2 but qualified for the Round of 16 in the world’s greatest footballing spectacle presently underway in Brazil. Congratulations to the Super Eagles!
