that was part of the rebranding programme in nigeria. some nigerians are saying the camara was faced up and some were saying they just switched off the light. at the end of the day, glory be to God nigeria was winning the game before the shameful and cultural display otherwise the fans would have made a mess of the situation and the consequences wld have been a brutal one. all the same, tornaments like these are used the showcase the real situations in countries as in what they can offer. nigeria was able to showcase what we are used to and what we enjoy as a people despite our oil reserves. at least the world was able to see how we have been living despite all efforts to cover things up. |

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED TO THE LIGHT International Football - Beckham's Galaxy reach MLS final Reuters - Sat, 14 Nov 08:26:00 2009 Buzz Up! The Los Angeles Galaxy and David Beckham reached the MLS Cup final after a 2-0 extra-time victory over the Houston Dynamo in a game halted twice for floodlight failure. More StoriesDavid Beckham slideshow Terry England's latest injury concern The Galaxy will meet the winner of the Eastern Conference final on Saturday between Chicago Fire and Real Salt Lake City in next Sunday's final in Seattle to determine the MLS champions. The floodlights went out in the 18th minute, causing an almost 20-minute break, and the same happened again six minutes after the interval with stadium officials blaming the local grid for the failure. Houston came close to taking the lead in the 78th minute when Brian Ching's header was spectacularly tipped over by LA keeper Donovan Ricketts and from the resulting corner Andrew Hainault headed home but the effort was ruled out for an infringement. http://eurosport.yahoo.com/14112009/58/international-football-beckham-galaxy-reach-mls-final.html |

come on at least the light went off according to what we are reading they deliberately turned the light off to enhance the lightworks?? sounds kinda funny considering it was a late match and the fireworks were clearly visible before the lights went off any way let's celebrate and book hotels for South Africa 2010 in advance! |

Re: Why Did The Light Go Off Before The Final Whistle? by mikesleek(m): 7:20pm On Nov 14, 2009 |
honeric01: i dey front of my system. All i am simply saying is they could and should have allowed the 2 secs elapse before turning off the light. Atleast even a foll with half a brain should know that. |

Na wah oh! All dis people weh dey too patriotics na dem dey spoil nigeria. Which kind YEYE fireworks bi dat? U started throwing knock-outs before d end d match, that is absolutely premature. Shey dey tell dem say spanish people or d world never see fireworks before? 2 worsen it all, one wicked baba wey e hand don dey scratch am go off d light 2 show 9ja colour 2 d world, despite all d money we have. That's very shameful. Before fifa go fit allow 9ja host again, e go reach 50th century. So stop praising bad things. |
