Olympics Men Soccer - Nigeria v Belgium

The first semifinal of Beijing Olympics is Nigerian vs. Belgium today at 12:00 Cet.

I remember Nigeria U-19 achieved to reach the final against Netherlands. That generation was reinforced and created the success of semifinal in Olympics. Nigeria played against Netherlands in the first game of this tournament, and no matter how hard they tried they could not change the beginning score and ended 0-0. Their second match was against Japan and this time they managed to kick the net and beat their rival 2-1. Their third game was in a final atmosphere as it was a must win game. They were lucky as USA got a red card in the 4th minute. Thus they had a chance to dominate the game and leaded 2-0 until USA had a chance to grab penalty and resulted the final score as 2-1. There is a small note that Nigeria missed a lot of chances in that game and even after 2-1 they created some chances in the last minutes. In the quarter final they were expected to be sent home by Ivory Coast but they mistaken many people and showed a great football by their fast and good players. Nigeria is weak in the control of ball but heir technique is high. They also have a very high percentage of shots on target.

After world and European cup the football federation of Belgium got radical decisions and made massive changes in national team. They were awesome in front of strong Brazil in their first match. But after their first red card their strength got decreased and they could not avoid conceding goal from world football giant Brazil. China and New Zealand was not a serious challenge for them and they managed to send the ball 3 times to the net of these teams and did not concede anything. In the quarter final they were facing much stronger team Italy and they did not begin the game good, as they again got a red card form the referee. In 18th minute Italy leaded the game by a penalty and things became even harder for them but they finished the first half 2-1 even with 10 men. In 74th Italy equalized the game but in 79th minute Belgium kicked the net and named the match 2-3.

Above is the story of both teams in this tournament. I will exercise my option on Nigeria because I believe their players have the ability of kicking the net of any team in this tournament. They are strong in attacks and have the ability of producing high numbers of shots besides they were really good against Ivory. Good luck.
