Group B: South Korea vs Greece and Argentina vs Nigeria

Without any doubt South Korea will win their match against Greece. They play with intensity and they maintain that kind of style for 90 mins or more, depending on the stoppage time of course. Greece simply aren't that good. They've struggled throughout their qualification rounds. The team, I believe, is new and lacks experience.

Argentina is so unpredictable this time round. Although you'll have concerns with Maradonna's managerial qualities, the list of players they have is quite simply, frightening. I have great respect for Messi. I hope he can excel his talent this time on international stage, like what he does day in and day out in La liga with Barcelona. I would predict the game 1-1 though. The truth is I have very little knowledge of Nigeria. I just have a feeling that Argentina is yet to play like a team.
