Usa: Nigerian Team Won Us With Juju? by DeepZone: 11:44pm On Aug 14, 2008
American press believes in juju, suspicious of Nigeria’s victory

By Agency Reporter


Captain Isaac Promise on Wednesday had a tough time convincing the journalists at the mixed zone that Nigeria’s 2-1 victory over USA was not influenced by juju.




Promise scored the first goal while Obinna Nsofor grabbed the second, after the captain, who was substituted by Osaze Odemwingie, handed him the captain‘s band.

[size=14pt]But some of the journalists, mostly from the USA believed that there was something magical about the way the goals were scored. [/size]

Promise said, “This is not a magical band and remember it is my third match and I only scored today. We played well and deserved our win.”


Nsofor was also on hand to defend himself. He said, “That is not funny. What is magical about a match we fought so hard to win. Isaac is the captain and I was the closest to him as he was going out and he gave the band to me.

“The goalkeeper (Ambrose Vanzekin) is the vice-captain but he was just too far from him. I am happy I gave the band a good use with my goal. I scored against Japan without any band.”

This thread is very good for the joke section, it's needed there.

So cos two different players scored while they were wearing the captain's armband that means it's Juju.

Very funny indeed i thought it was only Africans that where fetish
Re: Usa: Nigerian Team Won Us With Juju? by grandjedi(m): 3:11pm On Aug 15, 2008
Hehehehe  grin. Juju indeed! Juju pushed their no 3's elbow against Okoronkwo to earn him a red card which was removed from the referee's pocket via satellite remote control. grin
The same juju helped Ogbuke to outrun and beat their mumu defenders to place a perfect pass to P. Isaac, with the juju manipulating Isaac's leg and foot with just the right amount of force to bang the goal in. grin
Alas, this very terrible juju also aided Nsofor in finding the right trajectory to beat the keeper for the second goal.

However, regrettably the same juju that had been active through out the match conveniently excused itself to "take a leak"
when Vanzekin decided to pounce on the American to create a penalty kick. I swear it, the lad was in full control of his senseless. . . sorry, . senses when that happened - that was the only thing in the match that wasn't juju. cheesy grin

A dying man clutching at straws these Americans. Maybe juju 'twas that made Bush invade Iraq and spirited away the so-called weapons of mass destruction. grin

I hope the starter of this thread is joking. When you say something is magical, it does not mean its been achieved with magic or juju. It means its so good as to almost say its perfect. Its a positive comment on the performance of the players. It means they played so well it felt like magic
Re: Usa: Nigerian Team Won Us With Juju? by 4Play(m): 5:02pm On Aug 16, 2008
