daveP:But please sample this Iconic commentary by Victor Hugo Morales that accompanied Maradona's epic, mazy run in the Quarter finals between Argentina and England during the World Cup Mexico 86: He's going to pass it to Diego, there's Maradona with it, two men on him, Maradona steps on the ball, there goes down the right flank the genius of world football, he leaves the wing and he's going to pass it to Burruchaga... Still Maradona! Genius! Genius! Genius! There, there, there, there, there, there! Goaaaaaaaal! Goaaaaaaal! I want to cry, oh holy God, long live football! What a goal! Diegoal! Maradona! It's to cry, excuse me! Maradona, in a memorable run, in the best play of all times! Little cosmic kite, which planet did you come from, to leave so many Englishmen behind, so that the country becomes a clenched fist crying for Argentina? Argentina 2, England 0! Diegoal, Diegoal, Diego Armando Maradona! Thank you God, for football, for Maradona, for these tears, for this Argentina 2, England 0. You feel it? The poetic emotional outpourings, the timing, the event, all made it beautiful, truly classic. |

The big Joe, you can trust me now ... The ring is already on the ground - in Abuja! And by the way, who's organizing "entertainment" for the Saturday's match officials? Abeg, all hands have to be on deck to ensure victory. UNICAL is still in session and Calabar is very close to Uyo. O pari Joebie: |

Kog45:Truly you and Baba Icon4s deserve your high places in the hallowed Hall of(kai na only thesupernerd sabi talk am) well, fame - the way you two recall our football history with ease is really remarkable. I doff my hat for the both of you. Kog45 and Icon4s it's possible that you guys watched that match(that happened only in the colorful imagination of Nigerians) that has become one of Nigeria's notorious urban legends: the match with India where the ball was turning into a Lion once it gets to our goalie. India it was said won the match 100-1. It was said that FIFA banned India from international football cos of that match |

Mujtahida:not to professionals, it has little or no effect against real professionals in a serious match,but however, it can bring out the best from the winning team,or it will lead them to start showing unnecessary skills. |

Mujtahida: Hahaha thanks for the complements. We remember because we were really committed to it. Plus NTA then had the habit of repeating so many of those legendary games. For Eg I know how many times I watched that miracle of Damam game plus the China 85 final. I have both videos on my laptop courtesy of YouTube. Talking about the Nigeria vs India game, the truth is.... it never happened. We heard the same story even as kids then. 2 Likes |

Napoleon55:Professionals are human beings. It's basic psychology: we all want approval and we hate disapproval. It's said that even plants and flowers respond to positive vibes. I am sure even professionals would not want to be booed. In any case the fans in Uyo tend to be less vocal compared to when matches used to be played in Lagos with the crowd singing 'all we are saying give us one(more) goals' 1 Like |

PDPGuy: Garba Shehu ![]() ![]() OK. your choice. Firstly, I will replace Garba Shehu with Austine Eguavoen. Replace the duo of Okechukwu and Taribo with Keshi and Christian Chukwu. Then I will switch to a 4-4-2 formation, replace Mikel with Okocha in CM, replace Babangida with Finidi and then introduce Kanu Nwankwo as supporting striker to Yekini. 4 Likes |

Icon4s:I know it never happened. Was just teasing. I used to watch NTA sports too oo every Saturday with Modele Sharafat and Paul Ogaji. They will show Nigeria matches, premiership then during their Shearer, Owen, Ince, Andre Flo era. That used to be the highlight of my weekends in order to keep abreast with my classmates on Monday in school. The Internet has changed everything and thanks to youtube one can watch just about every match from the past. 2 Likes |
