#1 Rigid determination
Let us face reality, Argentina - one of the greatest football nations of all time will be eliminated from the World Cup at group stage level if they fail to get a victory against Nigeria today.
With world-class superstars including the likes of Lionel Messi, Sergio Aguero, Angel Di Maria, Paulo Dybala, Javier Mascherano and Gonzalo Higuain on the team, elimination at this stage will represent a big embarrassment to the whole nation.
Lionel Messi's legacy is under serious threat at the moment, Jorge Sampaoli's job is on the line and the reputation of the team, as well as the whole nation, is at stake here. With Nigeria also aiming to reach the knockout stage of the tournament, the game will not be a walk in the park for the Albiceleste.
Therefore, both the players and the coach must tackle the game like a do or die affair. They will need to be at their absolute best and enter the match with rigid determination in order to stand a chance to beat Nigeria and progress to the next phase.
