Republic of Ireland v Nigeria (2002) | Extended Highlights

[@Uleio]

You can see Okocha there with his strangulating pass. Aghahowa has a very sharp reflex. He did not pass to Okocha and go to sleep, he started running and collected the long pass from Okocha.

[@mubarakuthman6854]

That pass from Okocha is very underrated.

Ike shoromu was too good he should be the man of the match.

[@dagogobrown526]

Shorunmu was our most unfortunate goalkeeper

[@chaolinnorgaizigha2438]

Aghahowa had the best scoring ratio in our national team okonkwo,opabumi,Ogbeche our weak link…. Ike shoronmu is one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time

[@AdeyeyeAkinola-o8i]

One of the best keepers we've ever had

[@ebrahimezz2062]

حارس منتخب نيجيريا أكثر من رائع واعتبره هو رجل المباراه بتصدياته الممتازه

[@africanjaguartv4119]

Ike Anobi was just having fun, what a great game for the legend.

[@remmyemeribe5634]

To me Ike shoronmu is the man of the match 😊

[@GbassRhythm]

Ike Shoronmu had a good time and a fantastic saves

[@basseybassey1979]

This is a strong Irish side, back in the days. Lots of senior players in Nigerian side has problem with thd FA then, and were sidelined

[@Tobidgreat233]

Wilson Oruma never played to his own skills. He tried to copy Jay Jay's style of play.

[@sparkleeugene8253]

Our defense was shaky thru our this match, players were not falling back quickly, the Irish where faster

[@nerdnero2710]

Ireland were a top side that time. They hadn’t lost in 2 years prior to this game despite facing Portugal and Netherlands home and away. Anyways, Onigbinde was outdated and that team was useless except for JJ, Julius and Ike

[@woleadegbule9129]

This match cost Wilson Oruma a place in the 2002 FIFA World Cup despite being talented

[@zekococoa4333]

Agreed. Ogbeche should have also been left out the world cup.

[@adekoredeadewunmi1421]

Yes you got it

[@babalolatoye5792]

Ike shorohumi was criminally underated in Nigeria. More composure even than enyeama

[@brightokechukwu6006]

During his peak and that year( 2002), he was on fire and was the best goalkeeper you had that time

[@animalfunfacts247]

He was good no doubt, but enyeama remains the best we ever had.

[@frankchinedu9905]

He was beta than enyema

Until he gifted two goals to Cameroon at afcon final in Lagos, 2000

[@TopeDada]

How did opabunmi enter the super eagles 😮

[@lloje1]

Most of the senior players like Oliseh and Finidi etc were exiled from the team after the nations cup that January…The new manager had to pick a whole new team for the World Cup with only months to spare.. He picked a young inexperienced squad with only Okocha and maybe Kanu as the only surviving senior players left. We took a very poor team to that World Cup in ‘02

[@sparkleeugene8253]

How can I forget great Opabunmi of 2001 under 17

[@germanehabib8612]

Unfortunately, his country has forgotten him since he went blind....SMH 😭🤷🏾‍♂️😭

Just check out okochas passing 😂😂😂😂😂

So Eagles took a relegated league 1 player to the WC? These were really dark days

This is the Roy that called Haaland a League two player right?

After Iyanma na Shoronmu for me

Grandpa Okoronkwo made a simple clearance and stayed on the ground 1 minute later till Nigeria scored. That guy should be the biggest age cheat in Nigeria’s history
