The Nigeria national team has vast histories with Ghana and Cameroon. However, many of the Super Eagles’ richest memories were created alongside a nation 9,125km away, Argentina.
Nigeria made their World Cup debut in 1994 and have made six appearances. On five of those occasions, they were drawn against La Albiceleste.
Those 26 years have been record-setting: no two teams have ever met more often in World Cup group stage games. But what’s most remarkable isn’t how frequently Nigeria vs Argentina has happened, it’s how similar each World Cup clash was.
The South Americans won all five showdowns, yet their margin of victory has always been just one goal.
