Preview: Greece v Nigeria

Another miracle needed for the old and heavy Greece from making it to the second round. Rehhagel need to organize his team far better this time especially their traditionally good defence which has an off day against Korean days ago. This Nigerian team look promising. So long as they don't keep on squandered their chances, they stand an excellent chance to win today. However we could never underestimate the work from the legendary coach Rehhagel. So I would go for a draw between two sides.

Man to watch (Greece): Theofanis Gekas
The Greeks appear for their second world cup with 4 games already played, but they are yet to score in world cup. Gekas has to wear his shooting boot, or at least heading sense today to boost up confidence of his team.

Man to watch (Nigeria): Chinedu Obasi
The winger is expected to have an important role to play as he would need to beat Seitaridis comfortably and set up some good chances for his team mates. If he manage to improve his final touch, the speedy winger could be tough to handle.

Prediction: An goalless draw between both sides
