Preview of the Match

Germany performance against Portugal can give the chills over any other team coming on, but not the African champions. You don't mess with the Nigerian Dream team; Gold Medal winner in 1996 and silver medalist in 2008.

This Nigerian team looking so similar like that of Nigeria could stun the Germans come Wednesday. Of course, playing the German machine will be a proof of real champions. On a good day, this German team will be hand full... and can tire apart any team without tactical and technical discipline.
