99-1 is actually a Cricket score & Cricket is the No. 1 sport in India.

Maybe a Nigerian who knew little about Cricket saw that score and started a rumour about it just for fun!

Thou i heard about that match it was difficult to believ even if its true it was'nt ordinary at all.¤

OMG!, what the Bleep, how can that shit be possible. Naija with great lies, lol.

one dude was arguing with me that the match actually took place. i told him to place a $200 bet and find the highlights on youtube, he was so confident and searched on youtube for 5 days before givign up,
Plus he lost a $200 bet to me. lmaooooo

I wonder where the rumour started from!

Thats what I heard o

[edit] Summary
India qualified by default for the 1950 FIFA World Cup finals as a result of the withdrawal of all of their scheduled opponents. However, they did not take up their place in the competition because FIFA demanded all players at the World Cup finals should wear football boots. A number of the Indian players refused to abide by this rule and the team was forced to withdraw. The team has never since come close to qualifying for the World Cup.[1]

India finished 4th in the football tournament at the 1956 Melbourne Olympics, won the 1951 & 1962 Asian Games Gold medal and reached the semi-finals in the next two Asian Games tournaments in what became known as the golden era of Indian football. [2]

India hosted the 2001 Millennium Super Cup, but were knocked out in the group stage following defeats by Iceland and Uruguay.

More recent successes have been limited to the South Asian Football Federation Cup, the LG Cup won in Vietnam in 2002 under English coach Stephen Constantine, Nehru Cup in 2007 and 2009 and the 2008 AFC Challenge Cup under coach Bob Houghton, which earned them a place in the 2011 AFC Asian Cup to be held in Qatar.

India's traditional arch rivals are Pakistan national football team, due to the historic tension between the two nations, and even though India has consistently beaten Pakistan, they are often hard-fought matches. Another regional rival is Maldives national football team, who have had many well-balanced, thrilling matches with each other, and this rivalry is often seen as more competitive than the rivalry shared with Pakistan.

I heard India use to beat teams 50 -0, 20 - 0 and whenever they playing opposing teams run helter and skelter because they have magic to invoke lions on the pitch.

Oh boy nothing i no hear when i was still growing up.

The truth is India was never a force in football , never played Nigeria.

Habaaa na wao. Wat I heard was that when both teams were on the pitch, the indians, were scoring us. It came to point that they've scored 99 goals, then they told us that if our keeper can catch the coming lyon or Lion that they will give us all the goals they've scored. So Fifa @ that tyme banned then from playing football again, cos it seems they use witchcraft.

How come I never heard this fib?

How old are you? It's either you're so young, maybe born in 1998, from your username or you are a complete ajebo that didn't relate with children in the neighbourhood or did not attend public school.

OMG. . . . all my fuc.king interest in football was cos of this story, . . , . my cosin told me the player that scored the one goal died becos he kicked the lion. . . . . wth how i belived that story is amazing and more amazing is how i still strongly believe it is true

OH god help me , I have searched Google , Ask, altavista, and lots of other search Engines because of this story , they said that the Guy that scored the Ball for Nigeria died because India has initially turned the ball into A big stone , and it was 22 players Against 11 , they had 11 players On the field and 11 imaginary Players In the Air , so the Ball hanged and ends Up in Nigeria's net , Who came up with this story ??because everywhere in Nigeria it is shared and some people Agreed it was true , My younger brothers were talking about it and I was Laughing Like Crazy ,

I have heard of this comic relief story, but when i was told i rejected it immediately because how could it be possible to score 99 goals in just 90 minutes? maybe it was an handball game hehehe , our Grandpas sabi get diplome & degree with Mouth hehehe !!

Nigeria's biggest defeat came at the hands of Ghana (When they were still called Gold Cost and we hadn't even received our Independence yet).  According to creditable sources there was no Ghanian voodoo involved either, just too much Naija pounded yam and egusi. . .   

Gold Coast 7 – Nigeria 0
(Accra, Ghana; 1 June 1955)


Please kill this thread about football Urban Legends. . .

na so dem talk say if u touch ebenezer's obey's car, d car go say ''obey''

The mind of a child is very naive,

Children would believe anything, Just about anything,

I did believe it, and even told the stories myself as if i was there, The mind of a child can believe, we need to use that mind for great things, cos our own mind, na so so impossible e dey see,

Keeper rufai used to see a lion, India was the king of juju, tali it's called.

Truthfully, we're very gullible people, it is our Achilles hill, we tend to believe anything written about us and the more terrible the better. Although it is axiomatic that people tend to be more susceptible to big lies than they are to small ones.

[size=13pt]This kind match when football go change to stone , Knife , bunch of fire abi na Lion?? ----moving straight to the keeper , i mean the goal keeper. Infact , make Nigeria nor dream to play with INDIA because only their Jazz they would be able to score us 100,000 goals with no goal. [/size]

CHAI!
Laff no gree me for this thread. I don laff laff tayaaaaaa - una well done oooo

My own version wee I hear

Final score - 99-1. We scored in the LAST MINUTE, and the LAST GOAL.

When India get the ball, and shoot it, it will turn to either LION or STONE or SNAKE or one kain fear fear ANIMAL - na ein our keeper go run comot from post EVERYTIME and our players will be running from the ball.

Until the LAST MINUTE, one of ur guys tried to shoot the ball (cos the ball always disappeared when you wanted to shoot it), but anyways, his shoe lace was not tied very well, so as he SHOT, he SHOE came OUT and the goalkeeper CAUGHT THE SHOE INSTEAD OF CATCHING THE BALL - and thats how we scored our only goal



Naija pple una toooooooooooo much. And i believed it 100% then hhahahahaha

[size=13pt]Nor bi small thing oo----- [/size]
