The super Eagle of Nigeria have made the last 16 of the ungoing FIFA world cup in Brazil despite a 3-2 defeat to Argentina.
The Eagles gave a account of themselves in a very entertaining game, with Argentina's talisman Lionel Messi and Nigeria's winger Ahmed Musa, both scoring twice each.
Argentine fullback, Marcos Rojo was the difference on the day as his unorthodox finish from a corner in the 50th minute gave Argentina all three point as well as the maximum points on offer to top the group as Nigeria had to settle for second place with Bosnia and Herzigovina comfortably beating Iran 3-1.
So, congrats to Nigeria and Africa at large. A second round clash awaits, in what at the moments is looking very likely to be a against France.
