Group B Results: Messi helped an unstoppable Argentina shine over Nigeria, Korea and Greece

Diego Maradona aproved his most difficult test, by taking Argentina to the top spot of Group B. The South American powerhouse defeated Nigeria (1-0), Korea (4-1) and Greece (2-0) to prove that they are serious candidates. And the main reason for this initial success has a name: Lionel Messi.

Tonight's win of Argentina over Greece was achieved thanks to a pair of goals netted by Demichelis and Martin Palermo, a veteran striker who is close to retirement and got to score his first World Cup goal.

The Republic of Korea got an important win over Greece in the first match and that result helped them move to the next stage, eliminating the European team and Nigeria. As for the "Super Eagles", they had a super-disappointing performance in this World Cup.

Argentina will have to face Mexico just like in Germany 2006. But this time, with players like Messi, Aguero, Higuain, Tevez and Veron, to name a few, they clearly are favorites to reach the final and win the Cup. The final table of Group B is:

Teams	MP	W	D	L	GF	GA	Pts
Argentina	3	3	0	0	7	1	9
Korea	3	1	1	1	5	6	4
Greece	3	1	0	2	2	5	3
Nigeria	3	0	1	2	3	5	1
