Anybody watching Nigeria/Argentina game going on now? Pretty decent game if you ask me. It is on one of the HD channels on NBC. Not sure where you guys will find that with your carriers.

Di Maria goal propels Argentina to second straight soccer gold medal
Angel di Maria provided the finish to another piece of Lionel Messi magic and Argentina won its second Olympic football title in a row, a 1-0 victory over Nigeria on Saturday.
Di Maria collected Messi's expertly timed through ball in the 58th minute and nonchalantly lobbed it over Nigeria's goalkeeper to give 2004 winner Argentina another gold medal and leave the Nigerians, champions in 1996, the silver.

A very good game of high-quality play.
The best team won, but Nigeria were by no means embarassed."Donovan was excellent. We knew he was a good player, but he really didn't do anything wrong in the whole game and made it difficult for us."

Very strategic well coached game (on both sides)!
Nigeria appeared to lose it's shape and balance once...and was made to pay for the mistake.The only time TRUTH will hurt you...is if you ignore it long enough
