Argentina vs. Nigeria | Intercontinental Cup 1995 | Group-Stage

When Super Eagles was Super Eagles

[@DamaniDanDadar]

Blessings to you for uploading this video!!! I've been looking for this recording for over 20 years after I first watched it in 1995. This event was the 2nd Confederations cup initially conceived of by Saudi Arabia and called the King Fahd Cup. Continental champions assembled for a tournament and included the likes of Denmark, Argentina, Mexico, Nigeria, Japan, etc. Nigeria had played Argentina a year earlier for the first time in the 1994 World Cup and narrowly lost 2-1 in a match where Maradona played on drugs and got suspended after. So this rematch was exciting. This Nigeria team was its golden generation but without its key striker Yekini and a few others. Argentina seemed just a bit depleted here as well, without Claudio Cannigia and Diego Simeone. Part of this Nigeria team won AFCON bronze in 1992, won AFCON gold in 1994, was ranked 5th by FIFA in the World in 1994, topped its group in the 1994 World Cup and took Italy to extra time in the second round, won gold in the 1996 Olympics, beat Spain in the 1998 World Cup, and won silver in AFCON in 2000. It was good to see Efan Ekoku (premier league striker and English-born football commentator) play here for his parents' homeland, Nigeria. Football has changed a lot since then obviously. I'll be sitting down to rewatch and enjoy this in full! Thank you!

Maradona no jugo drogado ! Fue la fifa que saco a maradona del mundial

[@emmanuelespataro3139]

I remember when Roberto Baggio scored a brace against that team at the 94 world cup.⚽️⚽️ ✌😁🇮🇹

[@FghhIjffd]

​​@@emmanuelespataro3139i was a very young Kid, that day was one of the worst days of my life, was so used to nigeria winning, this game hurt me so much even til this day,we almost knocked out italy,thats the best african team of all time,they were ranked 4th best team in the world by fifa, this team was so good okocha used to come from the bench now thats crazy

[@AbdulKareem-uy6hk]

I love your analysis. Absolutely on point. I miss football from the 80's and 90's.

[@GospelinAI]

Different breed of Nigeria football players. When they were on the field you just knew they could beat anybody. Even the way they walked and their swagger was different. Their confidence was unmatched. Now we have boys that are trying

[@aimuaidehen1835]

Notice how wasteful okocha was

[@musaadamu4228]

😢😢

[@abiodunikusika5838]

@aimuaidehen1835 That was his first year of playing for super eagles. He played beautiful well in this match according to the standard of that time. Kudos to OKOCHA

[@fabbog]

Exactly bro as Saudi I witnessed Nigeria 1994 to 1996 ( on 1994 they should be in final vs Brazil , but 1996 Olympic gave Nigeria thier truly place as champion ) I could see how player Nigeria fitness and body strong with speed that was just super team after that I got schocked of how players become that weak body ( skills is not all time solution )

[@dr.olapadejulius3276]

Nigeria diamond era. God bless Okocha and the rest.

[@AbdulKareem-uy6hk]

I just realised this was EuroSport! Who remembers the "world cup legends" series that they you used to show? Brilliant! I'm 38 years of age as I type this and this brings back memories and goosebumps! P.s. kudos to everyone commenting, especially on the Nigerian squad of that time. We will not see a talent of players like this for a long time!

[@deepcleanmobiledetail-fy5pb]

With a home-based coach Shuaibu Amodu (blessed memory)

[@sundayodunlami7890]

[@brianforde7967]

Passarella wanted discipline when in 1987 he kicked a ball boy 😂 Jealous of Diego’s accomplishments

This was when i was proud of Nigeria national team. The current national team is useless

[@fidelisogirie8590]

Even the country itself ist now useles

[@TochukwuIheanachor-nc7vm]

Do people still believe in Nigeria? For me this country is done talkless of our super chicken eagle

[@Southernview3k]

​@@TochukwuIheanachor-nc7vm Why don't you come to represent the team if you know how to perform the magic.

[@mbakunkasa3784]

The then Nigerian players were different from the now Nigerian players . They players started playing in Africa before they move to Europe .That is why you can see they are more skillful.Today most of players being selected come from European Academies .In Europe they focus more on discipline .

[@adeyinkabenjamin4786]

Fearless and great super eagle of Nigeria

[@miguelarevalo4986]

Que jugadores tenia Argentina por Dios, no le temia a estas aguilas negras

[@abiodunikusika5838]

Correction. Super Eagles not black

[@miguelarevalo4986]

Super black eagles from Nigeria Africa, great team

[@oboshipaschal9335]

Súper águilas, no es águilas negras

[@omanphone6107]

الارجنتين ونيجيريا دايما 😂

[@FghhIjffd]

What happened to my country?😢😢😢😢😢😢

[@mbakunkasa3784]

You are relying too much on players who come from European Academies .Some players who are now being selected have no talents at all .They are in the national team because they play in EPL , la liga , Serie A or Bundesliga .

[@جمعةابومحمد-ض4ص]

جميل

[@isimioluwasuyi-dw4ht]

Reminds me of how i used to dislike Okocha's game. Great individual skills; poor integration with the team.

[@sammieo2946]

I remember this match

[@dd92727]

With Celestine Babayaro, Kanu, Garba lawal, Ikpeba and Bangandida. They would eat Argentinas lunch and dinner.

[@goodvibe6785]

Sunday Oliseh or Mutiu Adepoju more so than Garba Lawal, if they played in the same era. Not necessarily chosen in terms of positions played. Also, as the commentator said, Rufai was the unpredictable piece of the puzzle.

[@tinashefrankjabeni]

Who won

[@sammieo2946]

Argentina later won on penalties

[@ahmedabdi5805]

Umu cashi god plaer

[@neckdaily3292]

Okocha, very good but very overrated
