Cybereagles has an obligation to review that goal 10 times

[Ayo Akinfe]

[1] Shame on this site that it has not reviewed that goal in unprecedented detail
[2] How do we know for certain if the ball crossed the line or not?
[3] With all the IT gurus we have here, the matter should have been analysed in every minute detail
[4] It was not until recently that that England 1966 goal saga was cleared up. Surely, we will not be that bad
[5] There is now a device in the ball which tells the referee if it crosses the line or not. Has CE asked Fifa for details?
[6] We are slacking big time by not producing Youtube videos of the goal using modern technology to show if it crossed the line or not
[7] What if Cape Verde come out tomorrow to dispute the goal?
[8] Can the CE admins, please produce 10 clips of that goal today
[9] We are just as bad as out rulers. In everything in life, the devil is in the detail. CE has no right to proclaim itself a Nigerian football website if it has not analysed that goal in detail
[10] Personally, I am not convinced the ball crossed the line until I see the evidence!

Damunk,

Why? But he achieved his objective, didn't he? The video surfaced. We are now all able to review it again. Not a bad thing.

Cybereagles has an obligation to review that goal 10 times

To what end? So we could reverse the ref and CAF’s decision to let the goal stand


Cheers.

for you everyone is seeking attention when it comes to posting about football... we should leave the forum dead like ghanaweb because your brain cannot decipher a topic without you derailing or messing up threads

i actually do not only think the ball didn't cross the line, but the match seems very suspicious

...like everything among antagonists on CE, the objective is to fire the coach for unconvincing win.

Go ahead and introduce yourself to FIFA as the Cybereagles Contributing Editor (CE)!

Your answer is in your 10 pointer! Knowing you, probably you've not even watched the match.

Where is that Osaze is NOT a striker thread again

[Ayo Akinfe]

Where is the goal line technology guys????? That video just posted tells me nothing!

[akamoke]

That was a goal to me, if it was a Nigerian player that made that bone headed back pass, we would have chastised him more than seeking request for the legitimacy of the goal

Exactly.

[Cito]

Another Ayo classic.

That was a goal as it crossed the line. What we don’t know for sure is by how much.

Reminds me of one of our away qualifier games to Ethiopia under Keshi...Not sure if it was for Afcon or the WC, but I do recall how we were really outplayed by the Ethiopians in Addis Ababa, the Ethiopians had a legit claim to a goal that crossed the line and wrongly ruled off... The ball crossed the goal line by just margins; thanks to some acrobatic defending by Oboabona I believe who cleared it.


But yeah, this one was definitely a goal, ball had already crossed the goal line mid air before it even landed or kicked away by the CV Goal keeper, very weird goal nonetheless.

World Cup 2014: Ethiopia 1-2 Nigeria

Nigeria survived a scare in Addis Ababa as the African champions rallied to beat Ethiopia 2-1 in the opening leg of their World Cup play-off.

The hosts were the superior team for the first hour and led after 56 minutes as Nigerian goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama misjudged a cross from Behailu Assefa.

Nigeria, who were not at their best, equalised through Emmanuel Emenike's ferocious drive after 67 minutes.

Emenike then won and scored a penalty late on to secure the win.

The match was in the 90th minute when Aynalem Hailu needlessly brought the Nigerian down, allowing the Turkey-based striker to coolly slot home a decisive goal.

"Ethiopia's play scared us in the first half but we showed why we are the African champions in the second half - that's what makes the difference," assistant coach Daniel Amokachi told BBC Sport.

Bidding to qualify for their fifth World Cup in six attempts, Stephen Keshi's side grew stronger as the game wore on and could have led after 77 minutes as Ahmed Musa thumped a close-range strike against the inside of the post.

Defeat was cruel on Ethiopia coach Sewnet Bishaw, who impressed with their technical play but lacked a cutting edge in the final third.

Trying to become the first East African nation to appear at a World Cup, the Walya Antelopes thought they had opened the scoring after 24 minutes through Saladin Said.

The forward controlled a long diagonal ball well and managed to beat Enyeama only to see Gofrey Oboabona clear off the line, with many inside a packed Addis Ababa Stadium - Said included - believing a goal had been scored.

When Ethiopia did make the breakthrough it came in similar style as Enyeama was slow to react to a left-wing cross from Assefa, leaving himself badly positioned as he caught the ball behind the line.

The visitors, for whom Nnamdi Oduamadi had missed a good chance in the first half, had an early opportunity to draw level only for some smart goalkeeping from Jemal Tassew to deny Victor Moses.

The Super Eagles did not have to wait long for their equaliser, however, as Emenike took possession 30 yards out before drifting forward and rifling home a blistering strike.

The goal took the wind out of the hosts's sails and they were fortunate to survive when Musa got behind the defence and hit the post with Tassew beaten.

Ethiopia substitute Addis Hintsa missed two presentable chances in the dying minutes, as the match looked set to end in a draw.

While that may have been a fairer reflection on the game, Emenike had other ideas, piling into the box and forcing a rash challenge from Hailu, who clearly tugged the Nigerian's arm.

Emenike's second goal of the game completed a smash-and-grab win and ensured that Nigeria are favourites to progress to their second straight World Cup when the two sides meet again in Calabar on 16 November.

Thanks for this.
I remember the game very well, and the return leg which got us qualification for the WC 2014. Both games were very difficult. Keshi stated after, “the boys were nervous”.

This is the game thread:
viewtopic.php?f=1&t=240611&hilit=Ethiopia&start=759
Game ended on p35 and the typical Naija ‘analysis’ starts from there.

Notice how - quite predictably - Nigerians criticized Keshi and the team for “playing poorly”.
Funny thing is, many of those that defended him then are the ones beefing Rohr for the very same thing after securing an even better away result vs CV.

In that game, Enyeama with all his experience seriously misjudged the flight of the ball and the rest is history. Being beaten at your near post is not as criminal as losing your GPS as a GK.
BUT THESE THINGS HAPPEN TO THE VERY BEST.

I don’t seem to remember the Oboabona clearance though.

We also never got a conclusive video showing that ball had actually crossed the line…
