Argentina, an unfinished business ―Obasi

Sweden-based Super Eagles striker Chinedu Obasi who has played against Argentina in the youth and senior levels at World Cups reckoned the Eagles must finish their business this time so as to hold their heads high.

“This is the time for Eagles to prove their competitiveness by getting their well waited World Cup pound of flesh,” Obasi told ScoreNigeria.com.ng

“Eagles have been wounded by Argentina and this is time to beat them and get in the groove big time.

“We held so much promise in South Africa in 2010, but still same old slim goal victory margin that separated us.

“That was a game we played our hearts out and wanted to end the World Cup supremacy but an inspired game by Lionel Messi helped the average Argentine team.

“The business must be meaner this time around and I urge us to be at our best to beat them. Beating them in the friendly is a very big plus which we must take into the next game.

“We got strikers who will stretch the strong Argentina back four.

“The unfinished business against Argentina is also a personal one for me and I wish I would be in the team to finish it.”

Argentina will welcome back Barcelona amazing superstar Lionel Messi, who missed the Krasnodar friendly, and so Gernot Rohr’s men must prepare extra ordinarily to repeat their feat.

Anything short of victory will condemn the Eagles to their fifth straight defeat and could hurt their flight to achieving quarter-final dreams.
