Play in Group B of the 2010 FIFA World Cup is taking place on 12–22 June 2010.^[1] The group consists of Argentina, Nigeria, Korea Republic and Greece.

In the 1986 FIFA World Cup, Argentina and Korea Republic were in the same Group A; Argentina won 3–1. In the 1994 FIFA World Cup, three of these teams (Argentina, Nigeria, and Greece) were in the same Group D along with Bulgaria. Nigeria, Argentina and Bulgaria qualified for the second round, where Nigeria and Argentina lost their next matches to Italy (2–1) and Romania (3–2), respectively, with Bulgaria reaching the semifinals. In the 2002 FIFA World Cup, Argentina and Nigeria were both drawn into Group F; Argentina won 1–0, a result that was repeated in 2010.

The winners of this group will advance to face the runners-up in Group A. The runners-up of this group will face the winners of Group A.

Template:2010 FIFA World Cup Group B On the next matchday (22 June), the following teams (group winner; runner-up) will advance:

If:	Argentina defeat Greece	Argentina and Greece draw	Greece defeat Argentina
Korea Republic defeat Nigeria	Argentina; Korea Republic	Argentina; Korea Republic	Two of Argentina, Korea Republic or Greece¹
Korea Republic and Nigeria draw	Argentina; Korea Republic	Argentina; one of Korea Republic or Greece²	Argentina and Greece³
Nigeria defeat Korea Republic	Argentina; Nigeria⁴	Argentina; Greece	Argentina and Greece³

1. Teams with the better goal differences will advance. If goal difference is the same, the teams with the better tie-breaking criteria will advance. Argentina will advance unless it loses by at least three goals.
2. Greece must score at least two goals more than Korea Republic, in their respective last matches, in order to advance.
3. Greece will win the group, and have Argentina as runner-up, if and only if they win by at least three goals.
4. Nigeria is guaranteed a better goal difference in the resulting three-way tie with Korea Republic and Greece: Nigeria with −1 or better, Korea Republic and Greece with −2 or worse.
