bigpriik:

Shadomaan7:
Wow, its amazing how one miss can still evoke such strong emotions and reactions from fans even after so many years. It shows the passion and love for the game.

SpecialAdviser:
Majority of the ignoramuses attacking this innocent man are the same people hailing failed politicians who put them in acute hunger. Magas

Solidex:
I watch that match.
The painful part me was not even the miss.
What angered me was his attitude after he missed. He was seen laughing shipishly and also chewing gum.
A while striker, tipping the ball off a wide goal post haven beaten the defenders and keeper.

In a recent interview, former Nigerian football star Yakubu Aiyegbeni has revealed that he continues to receive messages and criticisms from fans, years after his infamous miss during the 2010 FIFA World Cup match against South Korea.

The moment, etched into football history, occurred during Nigeria's crucial group stage game against South Korea. With the score tied at 2-2 and a spot in the knockout stages on the line, Aiyegbeni found himself with what seemed like an open goal opportunity. However, to the shock of fans worldwide, he missed the chance, leaving Nigeria unable to secure the much-needed victory.

Despite this moment happening over a decade ago, Aiyegbeni expressed his surprise at the ongoing messages he receives about the miss. "I still get messages from people, different messages," he stated in the interview. "It's surprising how that moment still sticks with people, even after all these years."

The striker, who had a successful career playing for clubs like Everton and Portsmouth in the English Premier League, admitted that the miss was a tough moment in his career. "Of course, it was a big moment, and I wish it had gone differently. But in football, you have highs and lows," he remarked.

What made the miss more painful for Nigerians was his reaction.

He was actually smiling Like Wtf?

The least he could have done was to fake a sober look.

JealousCobra:

He need a wipe of USB cord on that his empty skull.

VanuatuWycombe:
Na ako e wan take score the goal. That was why he missed it. He wanted to twist the ball back to the direction where the keeper was ‘coming’ by twisting his ankle too much without being able to measure the angle of goal to either of the goalposts since he was looking down. So he lost control of the ball due to the force at which the ball was spinning.

He could have ruffled everything into the net like that, scored the goal firstly and later on do whatever ako he wanted to do.

Messi or Ronaldo will not miss 100/100 of such chances.

adecz:
