Super Eagles vs Argentina friendly 2011- Nigerians aim to avenge WC loss
Nigeria’s Super Eagles will aim to avenge their World Cup loss at the hands of Argentina last summer when they host the Albicelestes in an international friendly in Abuja today evening ( June 1, 2011).
The Eagles and Argentina were paired in the same group at the 2010 World Cup, with the latter beating the former 1-0. This friendly match v Argentina is regarded by many as new Eagles coach Samson Siasia’s first major test in charge of the national squad.
Despite the absence of Lionel Messi, Carlos Tevez, Javier Mascherano and Angel di Maria, Argentina still possess an excellent squad capable to beating the best on their day. Siasia is expected to field a strong lineup consisting of all his major stars as the Eagles aim to go into Saturday’s African qualifier against Ethiopia on a high.
Quinonez Wilson Goal Video- Longest Free Kick Ever 2011- Goalkeeper
This stunning Quinonez Wilson free kick has created a record for being the world’s longest ever free kick. The Quinonez Wilson goal was scored against Club Cerro Porteño PF from an amazing distance of nearly 83m out ( see goal video below) on 9/4/11 ( 9th April, 2011). Quinonez Wilson, for the uninitiated, is a goalkeeper for Paraguayan second division side Sport Colombia.
From just outside his own box ( and from millions of yards away from the opposition box), Wilson fires the free kick into the opposition keeper’s goal- absolutely amazing freekick. He however does receive a yellow card from the referee for his goal celebration.
