Bonfrere: Westerhof Sold Nigeria’s Game Against Italy At USA World Cup


Former Super Eagles technical adviser Bonfrere Jo has blamed the team’s exit at the 1994 FIFA World Cup in the United States of America on the erstwhile handler of the side Clemens Westerhof.

The Super Eagles agonisingly lost 2-1 to Itlay in their second round match in the competition.

The three-time African champions were a minute away from recording a famous victory against the Italians before Roberto Baggio netted the equalising goal.

Baggio then struck from the spot in extra time to hand victory to Arigo Sacchi’s men.

Bonfrere, who was Westerhof’s number two at that time has come out to say that the latter sold the game to Italy.

“Yes Everyone blames the coach. The coach did something wrong and we lost before the game started,”Bonfrere revealed in an interview with Brila FM.

“He sold the game for $100,000, that’s why we lost against Italy. If you don’t believe, you can ask the players.”

That's evil if true
But was he on the field of play with the players?
The players could have done all needed to win, the only official that has massive sway on a game is the ref not necessarily the coach

That was a game Nigeria controlled for 89 minutes....


Only for silly equaliser... And a win

If true then he is evil...Anything is possible though...Why did this idiot keep quiet all this while. I guess they shared the money together...Am sure NFA got part of the bribe too...

My papa fit cry on hearing this because he spent the whole day in self isolation after that match.

If so, then he sold it with the help of the players; all of whom were Nigerians. If they could sell out their country, why should a foreigner be blamed for doing the same?

Mehn it was not easy that day ....

I was seeing quarter final s only for Baggio to do them ... I thought okocha even played better

Thinking...

Now, what must have pushed Bonfrere Jo into making this revelation at this point in time after all years

Could it be possible that some prophet or shaman has revealed to him that he has only a few days left to live on this Earth?

However, I hope he has a rock-solid evidence to back up his claims cos this is a really serious accusation.

It is not just about asking us to "ask the players" on the pitch on that day cos that is not gonna help him in any way should Westerhof decide to sue his ass for yawning too much.

He must provide weighty evidence and such evidence must be waterproof.

Besides, this is not a time for Westerhof to keep mum. This is a serious allegation that must not be waved away.

Rumours in town


1 he has some beff with Westehof of late
2. He may be eying a return to coach Nigeria. After all he has lived here like a Nigerian, till date he goes to watch NPFL games
The conditions they are giving Genot Rohr

Should we be going back to Bonfrere at this point in time

I believe that we are way past that. Forward is the way to go. He can keep spewing like the Old Faithful geyser for all I care.

He might get his ass sued in the process too.
