Nigeria vs South Africa Preview
As one of the football giants in Africa, Nigeria may be said to be very disappointed with the current team's performance. The defeat suffered by the two earlier matches could only be repaid by beating South Korea in the final game. Thus Nigeria can come back in a race to qualify for the second round, of course with the hope that Argentina would beat Greece.
Meanwhile, for South Korea, the draw and "a little supported" by Argentina's victory over Greece, is enough to get them into the second round. Nevertheless, the experts considered that the Nigeria vs South Africa match will be very tight to keep the second round ticket still safe.
