World Cup - Group B

Argentina: One of the tournament favorites heading into the World Cup. It will be interesting to see how Maradona handles the opening game, against a reasonably tough Nigerian side. A win will be expected but a draw or a loss will see them go into the South Korean game under unwanted pressure. Messi is indeed the wonder boy of the team and the burden of lifting the team when the pressure is on will undoubtedly be on his shoulders, and this guy can deliver in an instant.
Nigeria: There is no reason on paper why this team cannot progress from the Group. Barring the opening game against Argentina the remaining two games are certainly winnable, whether they do or not is a different story.
South Korea: In 2002 this team surprised the Footballing nation. In 2010 this will not be the case and I think this team will probably be three and out.
Greece: In my opinion it will be the game against Nigeria that will be the most important for this Greek team. A win I think will see them claim second place in the Group. A loss however will probably see them hitch a ride back to their country.

Predicted Results:

1) Argentina
2) Greece
3) Nigeria
4) S. Korea
