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!

I actually blamed that defeat to evil jealousy. The other players wanted to compete with Rashidi Yekini and stopped giving him the long passes that he would have used to confuse the Italians for the remaining 3 minutes and give Nigeia an unprecedented first time quarter finals in the FIFA World Cup Finals.

All this defeat are easily forgotten. But that Ayegbeni missed was painful.



Meanwhile, Anti spambot unjustly banned me int he business section.

naijacutee FOD puskin dominique pls look into my case and unban me.

Na all of them pain me.i nor dey joke with ball.

Everything was painful for me except the jollof derby in 2022 because i have come to realise that the Super Eagles never fails to disappoint especially when it matters most. If you put hope in the current crop of Super Chickens, you are on your own. You go collect high BP!

USA 94, nig vs ita

I will never forget France 1998.

Most definitely nigeria loss to italy USA 94. Aaaahhh. We had the best chance to do really good. Pundits predict nigeria might have gone on to win the world cup. This just goes to show you that football is not all about talent. There is character, discipline, and even scheming.

Under 16 (Golden Eaglet) USSR 87. Loss to USSR in the final. My first time of witnessing daylight robbery in football

TIME HEALS ALL WOUNDS AND PAINS....THE MOST RECENT NEEDS SOME TIME TO HEAL, THUS, NIGERIA'S DEFEAT IN THE HANDS OF THE GHANIANS.....FOR NOW ...... REMAINS THE MOST PAINFUL


no be Naija again, plenty painful defeats lies ahead


If you know you know

November 12, 1977, Nigeria lost a world cup qualifier to Tunisia at the national stadium. It was a very painful memory that lingered in the minds of those like us who watched the match physically.

Nigerian had drawn at Tunisia 0-0 and all that was needed was for us to win 1-0. Under pressure by the Tinusian attackers, Godwin Odiye, wrongly headed the ball into our own goal mounted by the great Emmanuel Okala. Thereafter for many years Odiye was the butt of many jokes in Nigerian football. Anyone who headed into his own goal was called Odiye. That defeat was the worst ever experienced in this country.

Our fans contributed by supporting Tunisia and booing our players. The fans protested the increase in the gate fee by the then NFA. They completely abandoned our players and the entire nation was out into mourning mood when that goal went in.

The players:

Christian Chukwu
Emmanuel Okala
Mudashiru Lawal
Aloy Ateugbu
Kelechi Emetole (caterpillar)
Thompson Usiyen
Godwin Odiye
Haruna Ilerika
Sam Ojebode
Segun Odegbami
Baba Otu Mohammed
Patrick Ekeji, etc.

Those were men of timber and caliber. The coach was the great father Tito.

USA 94

musterseeds:
I would say Nigeria vs Denmark, was really painful for me

Very painful. The underestimated Denmark. And they chop am wotowoto

Kingcalls:



I always knew u are a child...na y u go de argue with ur papa... anyone that understands football and had been watching it for decades know that its between USA 94 against Italy or Afcon 2000 against Cameroon...u de talk about match wey dem play couple of years ago wey no even reach .... Any OG will not even remember that Tunisia game ...when games like Algeria final in 1990 ...semi final game against Ghana in 1992 ...2002 Afcon against Senegal... these games I mentioned, Nigeria had the team and fame play and deserved to win ...u de mention that dismantled 2019 team

Honestly, You are right about dis PAULOLEE guy.

Imagine Mentioning Algeria vs Nigeria in 2019 AFCON as a Painful defeat

It's Just Like a Chelsea Fan calling the 2020 FA Cup Defeat to Arsenal as His most Painful defeat.

Nigeria Loss to Cameroon – 2000 AFCON FINALS

Last season City lost their first match and still won the league..


Liverpool drawing is a sign of motivation the league is ours.

Nigeria vs Italy in 1994
1. We scored in the first half
2. They were reduced to ten men
3. They scored in the 88th minute
4. They contained us throughout the whole of 30 minutes of extra time and scored again

Tusnia 2004 defeat and Cameroon defeat year 2000 African cup of Nations.

99-1 loss to India


I was so down for a month.

I am yet to see one person, just One person that watched that match. It seems the match was told by someone who was told about the match by someone who was told by another that was told by another whose father told him they told him the story that Indian flogged Nigeria 99:1 and the only goal that was scored by Nigeria killed the goal scorer because the player had to kick the stone.

That Denmark game really break my system

Buhari is d best thing that happened to reasonable Nigerians.. we have been on strike for 5 months no salary but the economy is booming..despite the strike we are making more money and all our outstanding salaries would be paid once..most of my friends got thier personal properties houses in this regime..I got 3 hot properties in choice areas cant say same for gej when d cash was not circulating .so to some extent he opened the economy but I will score him low in d area of security outside that he has a pass mark..most youth dey run things this period but u are not seeing it

All these were when Nigeria was still United in common interest when Patriots were at the helm of affairs and not now that our president is more committed to Niger than Naija.

city lost to spurs who played a ucl final 2 season ago not a relegated Fulham team with secondary sch players always try to be relative when agueing thanks

Nigeria vs Denmark was never painful to me after Okocha's entertaining magical moments.

By 2030 you will refer to today that Nigeria was united that then..


It's like saying Nigeria will be great again.


Was Nigeria ever great?

Steady electricity is still a rocket science in Nigeria.

I don't even talk about pipe borne water.
