Just d same way I will rebuff anybody claims here irrespective of ur age DT u watched d foreign leagues most especially premiership,and u live in Nigeria keenly b4 d year 2000,Na fat lie,foreign league football wasn't popular in Nigeria den,due to obvious reason,No internet,No dstv,except for d opulent ones in area who av (satellite dish) only av access, and it was very rare to c we only got to watch National teams competition such as world cup,nations cup,euro and d likes aired by NTA CHANNEL 10 AND 7 ...and once in a while around 97 and 98,NTA DO AIR D ROTHMANS German league in weekends once in a wyle,and also Not to forget DBN too DT shows replayed matches of some premiership team most especially Man u,seems d manager of DBN den was a MAN U fan.

I don't think you're getting the point.

Every game is for two hours. If your husband is away for 12 hours, you can only account for two-four hours tops (they use flight), what about the other 8-10 hours?


Your popular, rich husband is not with you half a day and not visible to you for 8 hours? That is different from if you were married to a civil servant. It is not the same level of panic at all. A civil servant isn't popular and is mostly not assumed to be richer than a footballer


I would rather marry a civil servant or someone who works in a multinational company, but basically, a man who isn't in the spotlight where everyone can see him

Marrying a footballer can be mental torture at some point. You see pictures of him with some girls at a club after an away game (cuz he must party with his boys), do you know how that feels?


Jobs are different and some are simply safer than others in a marriage. Work is not work

I lost my one and only sibling yesterday to the cold hands of death. My elder bro, he was just 40 years old. Got sick the same day he was to start a very lucrative job after years of struggling without a well paid Job. Trying to control how sad I am.

TheGoodJoe:


Wrong. By 1996, Multichoice, currently DSTV was in lots of homes beaming live games from most top leagues around the World including Europe and South America.

By 1997, cable satellite dishes was rampant in Port Harcourt. I do not know of other areas. Hot live games had people trooping in mass to different homes to catch their favorite teams and players.

I watched Atlanta 96 finals in my neighbors house on Multichoice. Watched the FA Cup final between Liverpool and Manchester United I think that same year on Multichoice live.

Martz101:


A cheating husband don't need to be out to cheat, a civil servant can do it with his colleague and even a business man having his shop just around home can do it with his client. blame it on the man not the job

edi287:

Emm Serie A was popular before then in naija na. Didn't NTA have some Bundesliga highlights show that period?

Martz101:


2002 worldcup for me didn't meet up to expection

Cameroon heard a great team too, i think that afcon was one of the best i watched

realpoacher:


Man!... You are good with words!!

I was 9/10 years old in 98, I knew names but I don't know position or tactics, so the games I watched in 98 I still remember some of the scorers and scoreline

Joebie:
I had said “carry ball all the way”

TheGoodJoe:


To add to the Brazil vs Holland game which had the Kluivert brilliant equalizing header.

Ronald de Boer played on the right wing and he was up against the second best player in the World, Roberto Carlos. When Ronald went against Carlos, we saw one of the greatest decimation of a wing back. Ronald de Boer skinned and dribbled Roberto Carlos repeatedly and put in repeated crosses to Kluivert that it became embarrassing. Towards the end, the Brazilian coach, Mario Zagallo decided to alter things to kill two birds with a stone. One was to save their one goal lead and another, stop the repeated embarrassment of Roberto Carlos by Ronald.

He advised Carlos to forget about marking Ronald de Boer and go to the post to defend Kluivert's deadly headers. Carlos obeyed but it became a big mistake.

With Ronald de Boer having room to pick his cross without having to skin Carlos first, he crossed a brilliant, accurate cross to Kluivert who buried the ball in between the legs of the same Roberto Carlos. That goal sent thrills all over the World.

jihday:
Holland won 2-1, Lopez and kluivert had earlier traded goals. 98 is still my best World Cup till date, tho I was still too young to enjoy football in 94. Germany 2006 too wasn't bad, Tho Nigeria failed to qualify, 2002 is the worst, too many upset and plenty ojoro in favour of Korea, 2010 had lots of stalemate and low scoring games bar Germany who set it alight with their all attacking game. the last one in Brazil was OK too, the top teams came to the party and there were goals. I hope 2018 will be exciting to watch.

They were just highlight shows and not live matches.

All dis guys claiming to watch and comprehend what's going on in a match baffles me

I was in primary 4 when Brazil and France played in 98 world cup ,na small remain make we c ,I was 9month old when amokachi scored a beautiful goal against greece ,trying to clinch on d oldies

I no sabi as una dey understand dis games o,at Dt tender age...I bet most of u at DT age bracket watched replay and not d real match ,make una no dey whine us for here


Aw primary 4 piking of DT time comprehend each persons name, position, style of play as at den ,me I no believe o ,kids I.Q den where not as high as today's kid,a kid of 3years can operate i-pad conveniently .


I knew what was football during Atlanta 96,though I can't really comprehend d rules and regulation @ age 7

I didn't watch most games,because I was too naive to understand d rules,d game time wereearly part in d morning,games where played around 11pm,12am,1am,2am.d rules den for kids generally was to sleep after dinner,Max by 9pm,I dey bed
Only my my siblings who re older would go out in d middle of d night to watch games at a popular joint where dey own a generator set...generator set den was very expensive and not to popular among d masses

So abeg in a nutshell,if u re not up to age 13-15years during 94 world cup and 96 Atlanta tourney,stop analysing matches for us

Mujtahida:

But there used to show premiership on Saturday. Then futball America on Wednesday. That's where I watched guys like Carlos Valderama and Higuita and Chilavert

jihday:
i felt like I've been cheated all these years when I knew wrestling na fake, I don't even watch it again. wrestling used to be my best sport after football but these days when I see it on TV, what I see are adult fooling themselves

Icon4s:


I can identify with what elyte89 is saying.

Most homes did not have satellite TVs in the 1990s. All the champions league games I watched back then in Lagos was on AIT. I don't think any station showed EPL games live.

safarigirl:
the job gives one more opportunities to cheat.

That is like saying pesin wey go die, go die, but between an office clerk and a police officer, who is more likely to get killed on the job?

Isahalbash:





lolz



I was 3yrs/4-5months in 1994 and I watched d march btw Arg vs Nig...the only tin I could remember in that match then, was when Maradona was jogging d ball bfore the match begins..my elder bros was telling that ' maradona nah witch, dem node collect ball for him hand'. I was like; " wich kind pesin b dis."

The other tin I remembered was when Nigeria scored.. One kanembu man started hitting our gate wit full force



I only watched the match btw Nigeria and Brazil in 96. It was at midnight, there was no power so someone brought his tv outside, it was connected to a car battery.. at that time; it was 3:1 I don't knw wat happened o! me just dey shout Goal! whenever I see people doing it - And I was the pesin at the front of d tv.. The only tin I saw, was Babayaro and Kanu doing cat- walk. I thought Nig has won d cup self ashe.. Arg still dey. I didn't watch d final cos it was raining in Lagos that night.




France 98 nah Suker I knw wella and ortega against Netherland with a red card. And the match btw Brazil and Netherland.. Before d match, it was announced dat MKO Abiola has died. During half time, naso gobe start.. that day, I run no be small.
