If this match were to be played again today, no Nigerian player will make African team. Maybe Alex Iwobi will make bench.

I watched the game. I believe it was held in 1998 in preparation for the world cup.

There was also another one of Team World vs Team Europe that was also held just before the world cup.

It was held in 1997 and it was (codedly) part of Lennart Johannson's campaign for the FIFA presidency. There's another tournament that was associated with this match and that tournament will be a big part of my next thread.

That match remains the best football match I've ever watched. Everything was very professional, even their passes looked as if it was metered to the last centimeter.

This formation would favour Barca because the likes of Rakitic,Gomez and Dennis are all average right now.

Who loves Rui Costa here? I love that dude. Him and mustapha hadji were great midfielders, especially in Winning Eleven 4.

Who played Winning eleven 4 here? grin



World Soccer! Jikyo! Winning Eleven, Four!

Rui Costa, shot 88, one of the best free kick takers in the game.

You cant help but love Rui Costa. His movement is unique, same reason i like Tomas Rosicky.

Good one, wish such can be played again in this time of ours and it was nice to know that even then the NPFL was represented in the person of "GK 1 Abiodun Baruwa (Nigeria)", who was playing that time for 3SC of Ibadan, making the Africa list, and kept the whole 2nd half with wonderful safes.

The NPFL would be great again!

Baruwa was renouned to be a basket..the guy can act movie for Africa

One of the worst goalies that kept for the super eagles till date!

That Shooting Stars side was an awfully good side at the time. I saw the 1st leg of that final at a pub in Ota, Ogun State and the pub was filled to the brim! The atmosphere was no less than an AFCON final or UEFA champs league setting!!

Can't rem most of the lads in that side by name now but Duke Udi, Abiodun Baruwa, Gbenga Okunnowo et al shone like million stars. shame they lost the cup.

Ajibade Babalade(he was d captain of d side then),David Ogaga,Edith Agoye,Patrick Pascal etc were also part of d team then

Those were the times I used to watch African football, not now anymore...

1997... was in JSS 2 then...

Time has really flown by... 2 decades.

Thank God for life and personal achievements irrespective of what Nigerian football has become.
