After Kanu missed the penalty against Cameroon

It wasn't Kanu that missed, Ikpeba actually did, though the ball crossed line. It was Ikpeba reaction that cost us

Very hard to forget that penalty miss.
Happened on a cool Sunday afternoon.

9jayes:
Ever since i quit bet9ja. Anytime am watching football match my heart has always remained in its position.


Bring your funds to my table for a swift deal

Thank God for you o. So your heart dey skip before?

I think I like this jersey. It can cover many things during free kick block.

Beautiful photo.
The fact that patriotism is dead is just sad

Legends. Patriots. Thank you for everything. We appreciate you while you are alive, we don't need to wait till you die.

Just like yesterday when Victor Ikpeba play ball go hit cross bar but las las the ball cross line but referee disallow the goal.

Cameroun the baba for wayo that time, all thanks to CAF president, Issa Hayattou.

I cannot forget that Sunday evening, i no fit chop

ikpeba was not wise to have put his hands on his head. He assumed it was not a goal. But how could he have not seen that it was a goal? It's almost the same with zidanes penalty kick against Italy.

Did Kanu play in the penalty shootout? - not too sure

But it was Ikpeba's that cost us.

His (Ikpeba) shot actually crossed the line (following a review) after hitting the crossbar. He thought he missed it and he folded his palm on his head, so the officials took it to be non-goal.

Baba you're gallant. Ikpeba cannot stood against the tension at the stadium that day and that what made him put hand for head. Unlike Zizzou, immediately he play the ball he started jubilation even before the refree counted it as goal.
That Sunday evening that day walahi i no fit chop.

During Gardiolas time in barcelona, players influence referees. but i wont really blame Ikpeba sha finally. The tension was too much.

Kanu missed his penalty
He first missed
Ikpeba played our last pk, hit the bar and crossed the line but wasn't awarded
He taught he missed so he put his hand on his head
Can't blame him tho
They were all tensed
