Abiodun Baruwa made a beautiful point blank save from Casiraghi in the second half.

Pierluigi Casiraghi was one of my favourite players when he was at Lazio (and with the Italian national team). He was a deadly striker. Then he moved to Chelsea and got injured soon afterwards and that was the end. In fact, at a point I even forgot that he was still on Chelsea's books. What a sad way to end a career.

StOla:
I watched the game. I believe it was held in 1998 in preparation for the world cup.

There was also another one of Team World vs Team Europe that was also held just before the world cup.

It was held in 1997 and it was (codedly) part of Lennart Johannson's campaign for the FIFA presidency. There's another tournament that was associated with this match and that tournament will be a big part of my next thread.

Good one, wish such can be played again in this time of ours and it was nice to know that even then the NPFL was represented in the person of "GK 1 Abiodun Baruwa (Nigeria)", who was playing that time for 3SC of Ibadan, making the Africa list, and kept the whole 2nd half with wonderful safes.

The NPFL would be great again!

He kept for Shooting Stars in the 1996 African Champions Cup. They lost to Zamalek in the final.

Africa 2-1 Europe (January 2nd, 1997).

(Abedi Pele and Mustapha Hadji scored for Africa and Vincent Guerin scored for Europe).

The match, which was UEFA and CAF's contribution to the European Year Against Racism, was held at Benfica's Stadium of Light in honour of Eusebio, the first African to be named European player of the year (He was from Mozambique, but he played for Portugal). Eusebio was the guest of honour and he took the ceremonial kickoff.

Two African legends that I loved to hate played important roles in this game. Algerian, Rabah Madjer scored a fantastic backheel goal to win the 1987 European Champions Cup for Porto. I hated him because of what happened at the 1990 Nations Cup.

Nigeria went to the Algeria 1990 Nations Cup with a team of Africa based players. Our Europe based professionals couldn't make it because their clubs refused to release them. The first match of the tournament was between Nigeria and Algeria. Rabah Madjer scored two goals for Algeria and Emmanuel Okocha (Jay Jay's elder brother) scored for Nigeria as Algeria beat us 5-1. Algeria also beat us in the final 1-0. Rabah Madjer was the coach of this African side.

Abedi "Pele" Ayew is a Ghanaian legend. A fantastic Nigerian side played against Ghana in the semi-final of Senegal '92. Abedi Pele admitted on the BBC (years later) that they knew that Nigeria was better than them (he then went on to list all the stars in the Super Eagles at that time), so they decided to defend, frustrate the Nigerians and hit them with counter attacks. It worked. Abedi Pele and Prince Opoku Polley scored for Ghana and Mutiu Adepoju as Ghana beat Nigeria 2-1.

The shock and heartbreak from that match was unbelievable. I left home before the final whistle to take a walk and clear my head and I witnessed one of the bloodiest fights I've ever seen. A guy beat up and stabbed a much bigger guy because of an argument over the match. He almost killed him.(Abedi Pele was the player of the tournament, while Yekini was the highest goal scorer. Abedi also won the 1993 European Champions League with Olympique Marseille). Watch out for Abedi's wonder goal in the video below

German super wingback Mathias Sammer captained Europe, while Abedi Pele captained Africa.

Abedi Pele, Mawade Wade and Rabah Madjer hold the Meridian Cup trophy.

There were lots of Nigerians and South Africans in this team (Nigeria won Tunisia '94 and Atlanta '96, while South Africa won SA '96) and lots of Germans, AC Milan and Ajax players in the European team (Germany won Euro '96, Ajax won the '95 champions league and came second in '96, while AC Milan was still the biggest club in the world at that time). There were no English players due to the Premier League Christmas programme.

Nudists and Naturists.

This is the only culture that is yet to be brought to Africa.

Only time will tell though.

There are nudist/naturist camps in South Africa, Namibia, Mauritius and Kenya.

Newspapers must make money. The key part of this story, which the newspaper tried to obscure in order to make the story more sensational, is that her clients are naturists.

It's not the same song, but it's the same artist. Baby Kilode was more popular and I think it was released before Ambushing.

Pls autojosh

Am not understanding ooo.

What's the difference between Range and Land Rover

Land Rover is the name of the company. After World War Two they decided to produce a rugged and simple SUV that was similar to the Willey's Jeep that the American Army used during the war. That SUV was the Land Rover (later known as the Land Rover Series). It was produced from c1940s-1980s. Below is the Land Rover Series 3 (the last of the Land Rover Series).

https://scontent-mad1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/fr/cp0/e15/q65/16472899_1854891958101436_1898156264910373154_n.jpg?efg=eyJpIjoidCJ9&oh=9f6673306a2f493a3054d26a3b38bfe7&oe=593CC15F

In the 1950s, Land Rover decided to make a bigger and more luxurious SUV and so the Range Rover was introduced in 1970. This is the design of the original Range Rover.

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f1/Range_Rover_front_20080331.jpg/1280px-Range_Rover_front_20080331.jpg

In the late 1980s/early '90s the Land Rover Defender was introduced to replace the Land Rover Series.

And then the Land Rover Discovery was introduced in the early 1990s.

Discovery

Since then there has been the Range Rover Sport and the Range Rover Evoque, the Land Rover Discovery LR2 and LR3 and the Land Rover Freelander (which is a smaller SUV and the Land Rover Discovery Sport.

Now that the article has been clarified, I can now tell you the real reason, or the main thing that led to this policy.

The huge Sambisa Forest is a part of the gigantic Chad Basin National Park, but as you all know, Boko Haram terrorists made it their headquarters.

This led to discussion within the Goodluck Jonathan administration. How were the terrorists able to establish their headquarters in a national park? Since it was possible, then it also means that other armed groups could also establish bases in our other huge national parks. Why didn't the park rangers detect the presence of the terrorists earlier?

Therefore, the Goodluck Jonathan administration decided that the Nigerian National Parks Service should be turned into a paramilitary organisation and that park rangers should be given military training and all the logistics necessary to properly patrol the national parks and take care of the fauna and flora in them. This decision was made in 2013/2014.

This is just a continuation of that policy. (Unfortunately the author of the article above is either uninformed, mischievous or has mental health issues).

This does not resemble the Land Rover I used know I was expecting to see that Good old Land Rover.

You are like me.

The article is about the Range Rover. This is the old Range Rover. I guess you are referring to the Land Rover Series and Land Rover Defender.

I prefer the Defender.

Land Rover Defender 110
