That 1980 team na fire.

Lolly,

For some reason, I do not really rate that 1980 team. I know Nigeria won but except for that final, Nigeria struggled even in the warm up games because of the lack of a striker. Remember that Onyedika was recruited at the last minute when the team played a warm up with Rangers in Lagos. I no de feel that 1980 team at all! Remember the final game required the manager Gloria reshaping the lineup with Odegbami moving to a more central position where he exploded with two goals.

We have lost three finals to Cameroon!
We have lost two finals in Abidjan!
We have won a final at home and lost a final away!
We have lost 5 finals out of 8?

Of all the finals we lost the ones that I think got away for one reason or the other were 1988 (VAR would have ruled in favor of Nwosu) and 2023(4) (that was the begining of realising this team has little liver and cannot see a game through, however we had no business losing that game)

1984 was an asswhooping, Cameroon with Milla , Abega, Ebonque et all were solid in that period, their experience saw them manage that game well

1990 we probably had no business in the final but that was the tournament that made us Super Eagles (I think??) having recovered from A 1-5 loss in the first game to the the eventual winner (Yes, VAR may have also rule Ikpeba penalty in our favor, but Kanu missed as well)

2000. With 2 goals to Cameroon , a part of me says that was daring of them to come to Lagos and upset the apple cart, Ikpeba penalty aside, we were not steller in our PKs so I dont think it got away, id say it was a toss up

You are welcome, however, VO9 looks nothing like Yekini, not in style or physique, IMHO.

Thanks for the catch
The Ikpeba comment in 1990 was for 2000
