1994 WORLD LOSS TO ITALY IS THE MOST PAINFUL TO ME. GROWING UP TO KNOW THE ARGUABLY BEST SUPER EAGLES SIDE OF ALL TIME GAVE ME THE CONFIDENCE AND MORALE THAT WE WOULD BEAT IYALY THAT EVENING. I WASN'T MYSELF FEW DAYS AFTER THE MATCH, AS THE IMAGE OF ROBERTO BAGGIO SCORING THE WINNING GOAL TORMENTED ME ALL THROUGH THOSE DAYS AFTER THE MATCH. THEN THE SECOND MOST PAINFUL LOSS WAS THE GHANA/NIGERIA 2000 FINAL MATCH LOSS TO CAMEROON. WHAT ADDED SALT TO INJURY WAS THE DENIED GOAL OF VICTOR IKPEBA. 5 Likes 1 Share |

I didn’t witness two of the losses on the list 78 and 94 respectively but away from the listed losses the back to back semi final losses to Senegal,Tunisia and Ivory Coast at Afcon in 2002,2004 and 2006 respectively was really a hard pill to swallow culminating in them 3 ridiculous golden bronze for us..... Anyways,one of the most painful ones,if not the most painful is the 2005 U-20 World Cup final where we lost to Argentina,where I thought we would have made history and partly completed Football as the first African team to win the U-20 World Cup plus our U-17 and Olympic triumphs it would have just been the Fifa men’s World Cup left for us to win it was also painful cos of the rollercoaster ride Siasia and his boys had to final,the U-20 World Cup in Holland till date remains one of my fave football tournament! Another Notable mention was our loss against Argentina at the Olympics in Beijing in 2008 I thought we would win that Gold I was so eager to hear the national anthem been sang it was so painful,the loss,i had to be up early to watch the game I think kick off was 5 or 6am if I’m not mistaken,then that solitary Di Maria strike just condemned us to another Silver against the Argentines,lastly the falconets two losses was very painful too especially the one in which Alexander Popp’s solitary strike won it for Germany the one that oshoala starred in too was painful too same Germans beat us and won by a goal margin just like against Argentina for the men’s lol!also the loss against Switzerland in the final of the 2009 fifa u-17 World Cup that we hosted was painful too 3 Likes |

JoeRizzla: President Buhari looks much HEALTHIER than you these days. You've been wishing the man death since God knows when, yet he has remained your president for as many years. There have been occasions when a few axe blows have felled the great iroko tree while the pepper stalk, as "VEGETABLEish" and slender as it is, remains standing firmly and holding its ground after severe storms. 1 Like |

Nig vs Italy >>>> USA 94. Nigeria had no business losing dt match. The plague presently affecting d country affected that team. A case of "I'd rather allow my cleaner-brother fly my plane than allow a pilot from a strange.land" crashed that game. All the idiots needed to have done was feed Yekini the balls and its game over, but they won't. The rest is history! vvvv https://www.nairaland.com/709532/why-eagles-ganged-up-against ^^^^ 1 Like |

Lack of common sense made Nigeria to lose to Italy in 1994 FIFA World Cup Finals. 2 minutes to glory to qualify for the quarter finals, all the players needed to do was keep on kicking the ball away into the crowds. But two particular players who came in the second half wanted to show some skills to attract foreign clubs and ended up falling into the traps of the desperate Italian players |

Ubermind: I also watched this match live that year. Because of the anger, I forgot my camera on my seat and left. Later when I realized, I went back but couldn't find the camera. I lost the camera and the pictures we took. It was 2-0 for me that year |
