TheSuperNerd:What you provided is someone's opinion on nairaland. That's not a reliable source. Where did Wikipedia give him 14 goals? See, if there is no reliable source, there is no point insisting on what you cannot back up. Yes, the US league was back water in the 70s. Famous players went there to completely retire. Pele played there when he was way past his prime. He even came out of retirement at that time at the age of 35. See what wiki said

Loooolllll...... And you think you adore "Yeking" more than I... Hahahahahahaha... Abegiii... Just live with the truth. Stop being monotonous in perspective. ![]() See from all sides of history and not just the "so called pioneer" side. I am putting down no one. You guys have been the one doing that all debate. I have subtly avoided it thus far even when the temptation came (though I subtly dropped a sniper remark for Sir Forgiveness on Yekini but I still laughed it off... Loollll). But you guys were bullish about it. So stop crying saint. Loooollllll.... goldfish80: 1 Like |

It's the 70s and there's nothing I can do about the NFF not having "officially on their site" what I know and researched to be true. The person's opinion on nairaland had a citation. Look closely. ![]() And yep... Wikipedia of now, gives him 14 goals... But I researched 15 goals and confirmed it back then...... it was couple of years ago. I was much younger. Here is wiki's: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nigeria_national_football_team Note: stroll all the way down the page... ![]() Like I said, the 70s have some sketchy records but deep research will bring it all out. I remember kunle solaja's piece in soccer star back in my secondary school days on this. It was recorded 15 goals for Usiyen. But I can't put the link here... They don't have the online archive. And finding the paper itself... Phewww... Not funny mehn... ![]() Usiyen was a doyen in front of goal. You don't wanna talk about the opinion of one who watched him play. #justanopinion but precious all the same. It's up there somewhere.... In my reply to Sir Tbaba1234. As for Pele, I did say "twilight" years naa... ![]() joseph1013: 1 Like |

chrisooblog: Yekini's goal scoring record for Nigeria is amazing. Yet, he did not make the list of the first phase of the 100 greatest footballers. Kanu did. This guy told me "If Kanu were Brazilian, he'd have be considered alongside Pele, Maradona and Messi" Kanu is his favourite player of all time and BTW he's Brazilian!"......BBC's Peter Okwoche from Brazil.

forgiveness:. In Tunisha 2004 he scored, lolzzzz. Even your. Conscience know you lie about the Atlanta celebration being less celebrated to the USA 94 goal, everybody was on the street, Nigeria even gat to form a song just for that match, the opponent- Brazil, players - Bebeto, romario, Ronaldo de Lima. Coming for 3-1 down, you forgot it was a golden goal I.e the goal was golden on its own lolzzzzz 3 Likes |

zicky: Romario was not in Atlanta 96. USA 94 win against Bulgaria was huge. First world cup, the anticipation was there. I remember the excitement leading to the world cup. It is difficult to compare. In fact, i remember the celebration when we first qualified for the world cup. Algeria wanted to kill us in Algiers, attack after attack. We managed to get the draw, we needed.That qualification was bigger than the win against Brazil. |
