Re: Sweden vs Nigeria Pre-1994 World Cup Friendly
The downside of that was that we have often made irrational, knee-jerk reactions after bad results. In 1998, after those failed friendlies, holidaying and unfit Peter Rufai was forcefully conscripted into the team because Abiodun Baruwa's gaffes knocked him off. The other goalie, Christian Opara wa...

Re: Sweden vs Nigeria Pre-1994 World Cup Friendly
Make I post a link to another old video. Some of us might never have heard the late scion of June 12 election, MKO Abiola, speak. Here he talks about his deep involvement as the proprietor of the defunct Abiola Babes. It's a collector's item of an interview. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/Kz1yz7Hv...

Re: Sweden vs Nigeria Pre-1994 World Cup Friendly
I remember watching that friendly and having low expectations as our payers could barely touch the ball. They also played a few Swedish club sides prior to that match. Their style of play attracted a lot of Swedish admirers. One of them was a young teenager by the name of Johan Allard. This boy was...

Re: Sweden vs Nigeria Pre-1994 World Cup Friendly
Did the ‘94 or ‘98 team win any friendly? We were never good at those friendlies. We also lost 2-0 to Romania. Our prep for 1998 was even worse, losing 3-0 to Yugoslavia and 5-1 to Netherlands but we always sort of turned things around. Meanwhile, when we had better friendly results, we most didn't...

Re: Sweden vs Nigeria Pre-1994 World Cup Friendly
And I know 1naija and the other septuagenarians of this forum would have seen the forgettable 1978 WC qualifier btw Nigeria and Tunisia that witnessed the spectacular headed own goal of Godwin Odiye. Here's is a short footage for those of us born out of time 👇🏾 https://www.facebook.com/share/v/Y473D...

Never saw the footage till now. It's in this link.

We lost 3-1 and it's like we used some players who didn't eventually make the WC.
Is Joseph Odegbami same person as Wole Odegbami?

Re: SE from the Point of View of Angola's Strengths and Weaknesses
The central midfield came to haunt us eventually. Interesting that some of you folks sarcastically tried to redefine what central midfield is.

How Many Penalty Kicks Did Enyeama Save Vs Tunisia in 2006 AFCON?
Quarter Finals
1 during the game and 3 in the shoot out.
Williams may have saved 4 in a shootout but he's not the first to save 4 in a game.
Enyeama already did that.

Re: Argentina and Nigeria friendly in China cancelled after furious Lionel Messi fallout
This argument does not make sense, so I refuse to buy it. What has an international friendly got to do with an Inter Miami game? If two FAs have signed a deal, you cannot just wake up and cancel the game because you are unhappy with a player. The host of the friendly, which is neither Argentina nor...

The 2 games have been cancelled. Thing is: can NFF rustle up options?

Re: If We Win AFCON, Who Lifts Cup?
Ekong or Musa? I've met Musa before, he's really a nice guy but, for me, it has to be Ekong for all the hard work and leadership on the field. He appears to have become the face of the team. In fact, I have a feeling, Musa will support Ekong to lift the trophy. It doesn't bode well for Musa who has...

We have scored 7 goals across 6 matches. 2 penalties and 1 own goal. We have scored 4 goals from open play in 6 matches. Let that sink in. And no. We are no longer creating many chances. Not good enough. Leave that alone. Cameroun scored 4 to win 1988 afcon while we scored 5 in second place. In 199...
