Atlanta 1996 was really a nostalgic time no living person in Nigeria then will ever forget especially August 3rd 1996, the day Nigeria dream team-1 made history by defeating a highly studded Argentinian side that parades the like of Gabriel Batistuta, Herman Crespo, etc to win the Olympic gold medal of that winter event.

This was when passion and enthusiasm to play and do exploits for country was @ its peak. The quest for glory was very conspicuous in the then generation of Nigerian players.

MichaelSokoto:

Nostalgia

ThiefnubuBandit:
Indomie children cannot relate

Buhari4dullard:
So wait most of the key players na southerners.

Which means when we break the only reason person go hear of north na for terrorism.

Chai and to think that key players are all from South

No wonder many no want make nija break

Really? What time of the day did u witness this?

The stunning semi-final match against Brazil( which Nigeria won 4 : 3) and the equally victorious 3 : 2 final match against Argentina are the most memorable during this tournament. I remember my dad off the TV when Brazil was leading 3 : 1 and asked my and younger brother to go and sleep - that it is over for Nigeria. I went to my neighbor's quarters to watch the match

The thunderous shout of Nigeria's final goal that Kanu Nwankwo scored in the early hours of the next day sent the whole Barracks into a frenzy. My neighbor almost chopped my head off when he unknowingly lift me up to a ceiling fan above his house during celebration.

We just could not sleep that night but jubilate till we got to government house in Agodi. The final victory against Argentina was a continuation of the one against Brazil. I can't still describe it.

These two teams were the world's football houses then.I know the "indomie generation" will never understand what it took Nigeria to attain this feat, but God was the ultimate pillar behind us as both Brazil and Argentina were really humbled that year to learn a big lesson in never allowing pride be their downfall.

Ronaldo cried that day. He couldn't help but displayed his wonderful incisors for the whole world to see. He no sabi cry at all . They couldn't believe it. I wouldn't know how true. I learnt their coach warned them about Nigerians. That they must not give up till the last whistle was blown, that Nigerians were good in dying minute magic, judging from Saudi '89 performance and the rest. I watched Saudi '89 in our black and white tv

The coatch later reminded them of what he said about Nigeria after we beat them, lol.

We stopped enjoying super eagles performance the moment they introduced politics into the national team. Na celebrity players we get today, those who can book a Jersey slot at any price, just to participate sell themselves to good clubs during tournaments. Eagles used to be pride of Africa, then Cameroun and Ghana
