RIP to him.

Pls once you notice yourself unusually tensed up watching S/Eagles, just switch to Cartoon Network or comedy, etc.

After the match, you can comfortably relax with a bottle of wine & watch the replay.

Isholab:
Rip to the deceased.

Yesterday's match was not for the faint hearted true true. At a point I noticed my heart was beating sporadically, I quickly excused myself for some minute to calm down.

Ko easy at all

ericmor:


Don't mind the boy

Obviouslyblunt:
HBP is real. Stay away from things that trigger that if you know you are a potential candidate.

NOwazobia:
Fawk! na tension kill am so.


The tension reveals subconsciously how the people hold this country close to their heart.


The tension was strong yesterday.

wrongnumber:


It has everything to do with it.

Many men above 40 have high BP and they are not even aware of it.

Just a little spike and they are gone.

I don't watch Nigeria matches live cos I can mistakenly break the TV out of tension.

See what I wrote yesterday during the match. (ignore the updated scores.. This was before South Africa scored back)

SoNature:
God called him when He wanted his spirit; his death has nothing to do with the game. RIP to the deceased and may God give the bereaved family the fortitude to bear their irreparable loss, amen.
