comodo:

Westerhorf really do us strong thing for that US94. Rooted Sia1 on d bench even when dem comot Amokachi heels and Amunike blokos. Upon all the misfiring from Yeking. Somehow every pass was still going to him. Italians found out, left the MF for Okocha and Donadoni held on to Yekini. Maybe introduction of Prince of Monaco and Sia1 may have swung that game in our favour.

Westerhof wanted to hold on to 1 goal advantages by bringing in Adepoju and Oliha but forgotten Jay Jay was still on the field playing to gallery…the perfect subs should have been Siasia for Amokachi,Ikpeba for Amuneke and Adepoju for Okocha.

Rashidi Yekini was off against Italy

Okocha was not playing to the gallery in that match, he really held that midfield throughout the game. It was against Denmark in 98 he was playing to the gallery.

You forgot that in 1994 ,the number of subs in a match was 2.

Yes 2,thanks for the correction…..He played to the gallery cuz I remember a situation where Yekini and Finidi were waiting for a pass from Jay Jay but he just turned and Finidi was like what!shaking his head.

Osimhen is in a different class, even Martinez knows
15 goals in 23 games is elite performance
I only pray he stays injury free next season
I'm picturing a 30 goal season

A whole Lukaku na em Chelsea wan use take do swap for Osimhen and a young player…. Na wa.

Like I usually say, Osimhen no be their mate and they know it..

Marjoribanks:
Balllerrrrr!!! lol

Well the essence of life is change.

Wisdom starts sometimes from change 😂😂

Napoleon55:

Osimhen and Success scored today,u leave dem dey update us about Olise and Eze wey no Wan play for us,why?

Agenda must seriously agend.....

I don't see Osimhen replacing a fellow African. Chelsea is not on the table IMO. PSG and Madrid are my guesses

Phew.... Can he bagged a double perfect hat trick, if it's Spalletti there I can say it is possible for him to overtake Martinez, not with their present Coach with the selfishness of those players

Boss, I strongly disagree with you on this.

Below is his highlights in that match and his performance was a good example of what a typical 10 was in those days.

It was in this match he created the record of the most dribbles completed in a World Cup match.

In my opinion, he doesn't need to
He's done enough already
If he somehow gets 17-20 goals, then he's had a phenomenal season

Y'all who watched this match then must have had sorrow when that square ball from Emenalo was thrown away. Who was the player sef

Finidi not interested in going to ask any foreign born player to play for Nigeria instead he is determined to make the team attractive so that foreign born players will be the ones asking to be picked.


This is how it should be.

Two matches I remember my uncles shaking their heads for when we watched those VCR cassettes as a boy was this match and AFCON 2000 final

I no fit imagine the sadness that night for the country

Westerhorf knew that Yekini was misfiring. Yet in absence of Amokachi he brought in Thompson Oliha and Adepoju was already in the pitch. Just Siasia would have killed that game off. Imagine such pass to yekini and he couldn't sort his legs. My whole family cried that night honestly. My pop even said that coach sold the match.

Napoli wey no go Europe next year. Couple with PSG, the farmers league.

Forget Madrid. Madrid priority is Mbappe.

This match and Maroc 88 finals are the only 2 matches I have not been able to bring myself to watch a second time. Very painful

Imagine holding almighty Italy at 1nil for 88mins only to concede an equalizer through Oliseh blunder. Amuneke had scored the opener from as early as 6th minute if am correct

Morocco 88 final did not really pain me cos we were outplayed although Henry's goal should have stood!

This miss and several others are the reasons I do not really rate Yekini here. This here was the most painful. I can't just forgive him for this!
He almost cost us against the Ivorians and Zambians too at the 1994 semis and finals.

1992 against Ghana he was a culprit also. Despite his records, he played at a time Nigeria has one of the best set of midfielders in history! He could and should have done better. NMNL

Italy wasn't that good at the group stage. We should have won!
Their lucky win against us gave them momentum.
