I hear about the match too na THUNDER BALOGUN fire one ball enter net,ehen, i also hear say that Thunder Balogun guy fire one ball wei tear person belle open,but i no believe sha

Thou i heard about that match it was difficult to believ even if its true it was'nt ordinary at all.¤

I hear the fable tooo. But i doubt am d time wen i young, cuz i nor say e nor fit possible. I tell my uncle that time wen im dey tell us d lie say na lie, nor b small beat i received that day 99-1. haba, u sef check am.lol

This story is a fable but the thing that is sooooooo scary is HOW THIS RUMOR WAS ABLE TO SPREAD ACROSS NAIJA THROUGH GENERATIONS. 

I thought the story was limited to the south-west, I guess I was wrong. 

I dont knw if it is true but this story is totally senseless and i dont believe it a bit. if u are a goal keeper and u see ball turn to lion once, twice and u are seeing double. wont u run for your life. upto the extent of 75 or 99 goals. As i hear people say. abeg guys thinkk about it?

[edit] Summary
India qualified by default for the 1950 FIFA World Cup finals as a result of the withdrawal of all of their scheduled opponents. However, they did not take up their place in the competition because FIFA demanded all players at the World Cup finals should wear football boots. A number of the Indian players refused to abide by this rule and the team was forced to withdraw. The team has never since come close to qualifying for the World Cup.[1]

India finished 4th in the football tournament at the 1956 Melbourne Olympics, won the 1951 & 1962 Asian Games Gold medal and reached the semi-finals in the next two Asian Games tournaments in what became known as the golden era of Indian football. [2]

India hosted the 2001 Millennium Super Cup, but were knocked out in the group stage following defeats by Iceland and Uruguay.

More recent successes have been limited to the South Asian Football Federation Cup, the LG Cup won in Vietnam in 2002 under English coach Stephen Constantine, Nehru Cup in 2007 and 2009 and the 2008 AFC Challenge Cup under coach Bob Houghton, which earned them a place in the 2011 AFC Asian Cup to be held in Qatar.

India's traditional arch rivals are Pakistan national football team, due to the historic tension between the two nations, and even though India has consistently beaten Pakistan, they are often hard-fought matches. Another regional rival is Maldives national football team, who have had many well-balanced, thrilling matches with each other, and this rivalry is often seen as more competitive than the rivalry shared with Pakistan.

Habaaa na wao. Wat I heard was that when both teams were on the pitch, the indians, were scoring us. It came to point that they've scored 99 goals, then they told us that if our keeper can catch the coming lyon or Lion that they will give us all the goals they've scored. So Fifa @ that tyme banned then from playing football again, cos it seems they use witchcraft.

OMG. . . . all my fuc.king interest in football was cos of this story,  . . ,  . my cosin told me the player that scored the one goal died becos he kicked the lion. . . . . wth how i belived that story is amazing and more amazing is how i still strongly believe it is true
