In 2022, Argentina won its third World Cup championship. People who have watched football for many years may feel that the world is missing something this year - the "double eagle meeting" between Argentina and Nigeria, because Nigeria did not qualify for this World Cup. However, from a "metaphysical" perspective, Nigeria's failure to qualify for this World Cup is the reason why Argentina won the championship. Let’s look at this ghost’s nonsense.

On October 1, 1960, Nigeria, which was controlled by the British, officially became independent. The Nigeria Football Association also joined FIFA that year, and the Nigerian team began to participate in international competitions under the jurisdiction of FIFA. In 1994, Nigeria reached the World Cup finals for the first time and was placed in the same group with Argentina (runner-up last year), Bulgaria (fourth this time), and Greece.

In the group stage, Nigeria defeated Bulgaria 3-0, lost to Argentina 2-1, and defeated Greece 2-0, qualifying first in the group. It is a pity that the Nigerian team met the runner-up of the World Cup, the Italian team led by Baggio, in the quarter-finals (top 16), and was eliminated by the Italian team 2-1, ending its first World Cup trip.

Since then, the Nigerian team has reached the World Cup finals in 1998, 2002, 2010, 2014, and 2018. Interestingly, Nigeria has reached the World Cup finals six times so far, five of which have been in the same group as Argentina. The Nigeria team, known as the "Eagle of Africa", and the Argentina team, known as the "Eagle of the Pampas", will stage a "double eagle meeting" in every World Cup.

What’s even more interesting is that every time the Nigeria team reaches the finals of the World Cup, the Argentina team will eventually fail in the championship. Even though the Argentine team reached the finals of the 2014 Brazil World Cup , they still lost to the German team. In 2022, the Nigeria team did not reach the World Cup finals, and then the Argentina team won the third World Cup championship. It is very scary to think about it (doge).
