It was what stopped us from going to the big dance. Had we won that game, the loss in the final game to Cameroun wouldn't have mattered. Deja Vu all over again???

Yes we do just like we remembered the loss to Liberia and Serria Leone in 2001. Did you say Deja Vu all over again? :roll:

One of my uncles told me "mise from the brim". That's quite a nice one.

Wasn't Angola in our group as well for those qualifiers? Remember us drawing 2-2 in Luanda (2 long ranges goals from Keshi and Obiku I think). They came to Lagos and made life difficult as tension mounted and we sadly lost Okwaraji.
Consolation is...we didn't lose the WC place to Angola /Gabon but to Cameroun so game on.
