Beautiful attacking football, not what we played at Afcon 2024

[@adeyinkaoladapo5863]

Walai...look at how they were playing with desire and hunger, compared to some "imported" players we now rely on to do the job now. But we remain hopeful, the eagles will bounce back

[@akandesaheed3835]

The eagles at afcon 2024 were a complete shadow of the eagles in those days

When Men were Men...💪🏽

[@oluwafemikuyooro1849]

We were few minutes into the match when there was a power outage that night, we kept hoping it was soon going to be restored while we listened with 100% attention to the commentary on my father's small transistor radio he used in listening to VOA news every night.. I couldn't count the number of times the Nigerian commentator shouted GOOOOOOOOOOOOL OH NO!!! in which the entire street would have been thrown into a frenzy. The experience that night remains nostalgic.

[@adeoyeadetoyi9517]

I can still remember... Aghahowa did it for us that day

[@bestpaul7271]

😂

[@halfnigeriaandhalfghana6447]

Sunday Oliseh was so sick on the day of the match. And still forced himself to play. He came in not quite long and gave Aghahowa long ball which was converted judiciously to equalise and the rest is history. Imagine how passionate these guys were

[@kingejiro]

How can I ever forget this night?? One of my favorite games as a Nigerian. We lived in Allen Avenue at the time. When Aghahowa scored the whole Allen went mad, my dad told us not to go outside 😂😂😂 Memories

[@busterzigler7530]

I was in Maiduguri, pre-boko haram era

[@adeyinkaoladapo5863]

Omo! Una dey live for Allen Avenue, posh area. Even till date, Allen is still regarded as a highbrow area. Your popsy is well to do ò.

I watched this game in Sokoto at Ejireh Kambayi's abode. I will never forget Julius Efosas equalizer. The match send me to delirium as a young football aficionado.

[@markukpokolo3278]

When Aghahowa scored the second goal the fans were all over the field because they thought the game was over due to the golden goal rule. I was outside celebrating with my friends until we were told that the game was still in progress. Lol

[@ayoubasheriff3129]

The match that held the breath of the Nigerians 😮

[@bigbamo92]

Until Sunday oliseh came in

[@temiakin3133]

This tournament was cohosted by nigeria and ghana .What a glorious match i have to on my dad diesel engine generator together with my brothers and dad and mum with our friends we all watch this matches with great excitment .The whole streets was always in silent mode anything the super Eagles were playing their matches .Years of glory for Nigeria super Eagles

[@JoshuaChandia-ih8sy]

Both teams squandered clear cut goal scoring opportunities.

[@patrickokoye6363]

When men were playing. Ready to die in the field. Imagine a bench with Oliseh,Aghahowa,Amunike. The match still sweet as at today

[@muazuisah2346]

fact

[@halfnigeriaandhalfghana6447]

The attacking force is so solid, mid field was controlled and dominated by Eagles. Eagles of today are the shadow of what we used to have in those days.

[@ericmanuel4522]

See when Naija get pattern.i will never forget that night.I miss the good ol days.our current eagles do not even come close.big shame😢

[@kingyonder]

I remember that match, we just bought a coloured panasonic tv then... This was ghananigeria 2000 quitarfinal, we went on the south Africa 2 nil in the semis and lost the cup to Cameron on penalties

[@neckdaily3292]

Kanu and breath taking passes😮😮

[@amoohabib8845]

Sleeky,breathtaking and dangerous passes.His body movement is a beckon to his lanky stature. Kanu is skillful.

[@udofiaowoidoho1843]

It was twenty-four years ago. I am still feeling the shivers of that night.

[@adeyinkaoladapo5863]

Omo! How time flys. This were the period when men were boys or how dem take dey talk am. I watched this match in a friends house that night, it was tension soaked encounter. The terrenga lions gave it all. I hope we could have dogged fighters in the super eagles now, like we had in the past. This gives a nostalgic feeling.

[@ezewemghianojo8702]

God bless aghawa for this joy 😊

[@jesusislord7534]

Y'all can see how super eagles of then tries shots from outside the box? Those shots will be shaking the keepers each time, but today,the super eagles of today can't even make a straight pass talk more of shooting straight ball from outside the box 😢

[@mazzoanV2]

To explain the pitch invasion back in those times there was a thing called the golden goal where any goal scored in extra time was the winning goal. AFCOM didn't accept this rule and the Nigerians obviously weren't to know this

[@christophernnanna722]

I still remember when the Senegalese goal keeper was running down the clock in the name of sustaining injury little did he know that his delay tactics would later be in vain. It was still at that juncture that the referee had to remove an object from the back of the net 🥅 and it didn't take long Nigeria 🇳🇬 equalized.

[@oluwafemikuyooro1849]

I was told that it was Late Coach Tunde Laloko of Pepsi Academy that informed d referee that the object has to be removed.

[@TolulopeAdeyemiPage]

Wrong! It was Coach Kashimawo Olaluko who went in at half-time to remove an object the Senegalese goalkeeper had put in the goal post when the game started. It was NOT the referee at all. After the tournament, Kashimawo Olaluko was banned by CAF for, I think, a 2-year period for pitch invasion.

[@christophernnanna722]

@@TolulopeAdeyemiPage I'm not disputing your claims but i still recall when the goalkeeper was delaying on the ground after he claimed he sustained an injury around 10- 15 minutes before the end of the 90minutes, I think that was when the referee removed that object.

[@drealscoglow1769]

This match made me to trek more than 30km

[@synergy2256]

I think this was the game that changed the extra time rule.....that they have to play extra time to the end irrespective of golden goal scored.,.....That's where I begin to see Senegalese team as rugged......PAPA DIOP

[@adeyinkaoladapo5863]

His name is Not Papa Diop but *Bouba Papa Diop* ...lol...just joking. He played for both Fulham and Portsmouth back then in the EPL, and I remember his goal against France at the opening match in Korea Japan world cup. Time flys... Henri Camera seems to play for Wigan FC then or so, while Fadiga plays for Auxerre FC in France. Omo! Africa get players o, no wonder Mourinho said: "if players of African descent had to return to motherland, no one will dominate them and football would be boring without them"....

[@chinwenduuruakpa9183]

Golden Goal Rule was never recognized by CAF, though it was a FIFA Rile. It was used in Korea/Japan FIFA World Cup and abolished afterwards. CAF never used it during tournaments organized by CAF.

Ike Shorunmu has poor goal keeping skills

[@bigbamo92]

Naah you don't dare talk at a legend. Only Enyeama is top over him. Not even Rufai

[@ogechiuzoma201]

I agree with you.@@bigbamo92

[@chinwenduuruakpa9183]

​@@bigbamo92Rufai was a better goalkeeper than Shorunmu. Shorunmu had his stint with the Super Eagles after Rufai had left the scene. I don't know the time you watched Rufai, but Rufai was a good goalkeeper in 1980s and early 1990s. Maybe, you watched him in 1998, when he was at the twilight of his career. Shorunmu was more of a second/third choice till after 1998 when he became the main keeper. Shorunmu was good, but Rufai was a better goalkeeper than him. Enyeama would be ranked side by side with Rufai, but Enyeama to me comes first, but not belittling Rufai's heroics.
