Re: Yakubu: My Infamous 2010 Goal Miss | Feed the Yak Podcast
Bigpoke,
Thinking of it now and trying to imagine being in that moment, I wonder if he somewhat thought the keeper was on the goalline and, therefore, the need to target a corner of the goal? But that really is a far fetched thought given that he must have been aware, at least via peripheral vision that the goalie had come out and was the one who missed the cross to offer up an incredible opportunity. It is really unbelievable but it does happen.

Didn't Onigbinde claim that Yakubu was left out because he had issues with his eyes?

I hate that it happened to a player like Yak. The guy was a beast back in his days. He was also awfully good at taking penalty. Him, Victor Moses anEkong make taking Penalty look easy. That is why I say it's not by force Osimhen takes PK. You either have it or you don't.

That 2010 WC was very strange. It was as if the team was cursed. Everything that could have gone wrong, went wrong, in every game! Missed chances, red cards, boneheaded decisions. Everything! Na reeeeeallll waaaaaa!!

That was exactly how i saw that tournament for us. The team was a strong team and could have easily made it out of that group. It was like luck wanted to punish NFF for denyig Amodu a chance to coach at the worldcup yet again. Lagerback showed he is good coachScipio Africanus wrote: ↑Wed Mar 13, 2024 12:48 pm That 2010 WC was very strange. It was as if the team was cursed.

Are you saying that things you do not know, do not exist, just because you do not know that they exist?

Yes. We also missed a chance to make history in that tournament because if we had beaten S. Korea in that game, we would have been the first team in WC history to qualify for the knockout stages after losing their first two gamesGoalgetter wrote: ↑Wed Mar 13, 2024 11:55 pmThat was exactly how i saw that tournament for us.

Yakubu deserved better than he was treated. His experience on how he was insulted on social media by people who lack home training is truly sad. Apparently, one of them was writing nonsense to his daughter. People like this deserve only one thing -- something I had to do back in January-Feb, where I put it away for a couple of weeks and when it retuned, it cried, uncontrollably.

But man...my brother, sometimes, I look back and I blame myself. I should have kept it away until the tournament was over.

That was my punishment for corruption on this forum. Do you see how I tied the legs of your striker and he only scored once in 7 games? I hope you enjoyed losing the final. Next time don’t encourage corruptiondanfo driver wrote: ↑Thu Mar 14, 2024 3:54 amBigpokey24 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 14, 2024 1:53 amdo not mind them, once that bobo returned we had to play SA on PK and then lose the final. bobo nah bad luck.
