No one claims that this man is the best Nigeria has ever had, Rufai used to cause heart attacks with his blunders. Enyeama is significantly better. Nonetheless, glad to see him doing well. |

southniyikaye:hahahahahahahhaha I could still remember then, when we called him keeper rufail, instead of peter rufai |

MadCow1: Not really. We still were able to make it to the second round (something we could not do in Korea and SA) and remember our win over Spain with Raul, Morientes, Hierro, Zubizaretta etc But, a lot of the stars in the team were evidently aging especially the backline from Taribo to Ikechukwu so it was not only Rufai's fault, defense was poor and our main Atlanta 96 star, Kanu, just came off a heart surgery Atlanta 96 was when everyone was in their peak 1 Like |

goldfish80:funny how people who have never done anything good for their own family will come online to tarnish someone who actually did something for the whole Nigeria. A man who under him we were the 5th best team in the world. In 98 he was old and not the 1st choice. It was the injury to Ike Shorunmu that made him start at the world cup 98 and he did very well considering that was when FIFA and Adidas went the way of rubber balls instead of leather. And your hero Enyeama also cost us qualification to the world cup in 2006 when he conceded one of the cheapest goals ever against Angola But why am I wasting my time. A fool will never see greatness even if it hits him on the head 6 Likes |

goldfish80: I thought I was the only one that match affected. In-fact, that match changed me completely. I used to believe in Super Eagles 100% and even at 3-0 I had the believe we will still overcome. Kanu's one on one end of first half fluff with Peter Schmeichel jolted me completely. After the match it was so bad that I permanently lost my appetite for super eagles games, right now I can even decide to stroll out o the house if a top class S.E match is on live. The Denmark massacre of Nigeria completely changed me. |

Mars88:yeah Dosu would have been another choice, but the god of soccer was not just not on our side that we had to take Rufai to the world cup. It was so bad that time... that I had to believe the rumour of replay... |

LastMumu: I feel your pain.. i remember that game like it was yesterday.... Rumor had it then that the game was sold to Denmark not saying it is true or not but that game was very one-sided... None of the super eagles player showed up ... I remember one of the free kicks "Papillo" was the only one that jumped up from the wall and the ball passed under his legs and am like Believe me, some people at newspaper stand are still investigating that game Cheers!! |

efilefun:I could not have blamed him anyway he only came to salvage the situation... The only keeper available then was one Akanji or so that deputised for Ike then and that guy was just not fit.. Rufai was just the only experience goalie but around then. |

goldfish80: Austin Jay Jay Okocha was super fantastic that day. He was my consolation for that game. Nigeria vs Denmark. Dodo Mayana Nigeria's best ever in front of goal till date. 2 Likes |

Dont forget Ike Shorunmu |

Re: Peter Rufai's New Look (Photo) by stagger: 12:12pm On Mar 03, 2016 |
goldfish80: He was old and had not played for a long time. He was not supposed to feature in that tournament. He had to be called back from his holiday at the last minute due to injuries to Ike Shorunmu and Willy Opara. Also don't forget that the true number 1 in the country at the time, Joseph Dosu had sustained spinal injuries a year earlier in a car crash after the 1st qualifying game. Peter Rufai was already semi-retired and there is no way a goalkeeper can perform wonders at a stage like the World Cup after being called back from holiday to join the national team at the last minute. 1 Like |

goldfish80: Ve u passed exam b4 witout reading ur books? Rufai was called back from retirement for d tournament. He was nt prepared for d tournament. Y nt remember his heroics @ Tunisia 94 nd USA 94 nd forget d mistake of France 98. There s no basis for comparing Rufai nd Enyeama. U can't compare eras because of different factors. |
