val_dubem: B/Faso will trash nigeria today

Gwekzy: Its now 13 yrs ago at the National Stadium, Lagos where the rugged indomitable lions of cameroun broke so many hearts..

Its still fresh in my memory. I remember Eto'o scored first and a terrible mistake by Ikesherunmu(not sure of d spelling) gave them a two goal lead courtesy of Patrick Mboma..

At this point everyone was stunned not until Chukwu gave us hope with a well taken goal..Offcourse i ll never forget that piece of brilliance from our ever entertaining Austin Jay Jay Okocha that drew the game level at the stroke of half time...I remember me screaming my heart out..i'll never forget that Goal..

the 2nd half came and one thing still baffles me its how Aghahowa missed from a close range with just seconds remaining..Truth be told those Hulks from cameroun gave us a terrible time in extra time..although i remember papilo getting past Rigobert Song with an unbelievable piece of skill...

Then came the penalty shoot out that completely broke me..I remember papilo and Ikpeba missing from the spot.. Immediately Rigobert song scored the winning penalty kick i burst into tears..I still remember Oliseh crying like a baby and so many others..

13 years after and it still hurts me...But I know come sunday this set of Clique ll make us Proud..I really cant wait to celebrate..Burkina babes cant stop us..Super eagles till Jesus Comes

Na Laugh: I hope i have time to watch this at work today o.

Random: Who remembers the old legendary tale from when we were kids; about Nigeria's final match with India,
which ended 100 - 1 coz of their potent magic which kept turning the ball into a lion each time it headed for Nigeria's post. and how Okwaraji managed to score 1. Haaha . Those were the days.

I don't know y some of u are quick to correct others and u always end up showing ur foolishness. At no where did the poster mentioned teslim balogun in his post. But u conjure it in ur mind and mention it claiming u are correcting him. I think u should read the post again. I wish u better understanding

Your account of this match is filled with errors.

Ike Shorunmu (this is the spelling) did not make a blunder. Patrick Mboma nutmegged him. Almost every goalkeeper in the world has been at one point or another.

Jay Jay's goal came 5 minutes into the second half. It was Chukwu Ndukwe who pulled our fitst goal back on the stroke of half-time from a sweet pass by Kanu.

The closest misses of the game were Ikpeba's header that grazed the post in the first half of extra time, as well as a shot from an acute angle by Tijani Babangida which Alioum Boukar had to dive backwards into the goal to bring out.

CFCfan: Actually, the game was played at the National Stadium in Lagos, not the Teslim Balogun stadium.

Anyway, that match was heart-breaking; Ikpeba's penalty 'miss' still rankles me anytime I remember it.
