WAFCON - Morocco 2025; A Final For The History Books

Re: WAFCON - Morocco 2025; A Final For The History Books by Racoon(op):
This reminds one of the "Damman miracle" fame of the then Golden Eagles during the U-21 World Cup in Saudi Arabia against the USSR and the indelible semi-final and final match of the Atlanta 1996 between Nigeria versus the dreaded Brazil and Argentina respectively.

These historic come backs are indeed etched in history books. They are all classical cases of 'it is not over yet until it over" and "when there is a will, then there is a way."

Many hearty congratulations Super Falcons. 3 goals within 22 mins is a big feat especially when playing a final game against a hostile host nation.

People that depend on "miracles" and lucks seldom go far in life. Great nations and institutions are not built by luck, but by deliberate and consistent excellent acts and the resulting good results. Our girls have worked hard and got a win. They deserved to be celebrated...but having to consistently expect a miracle is no hardwork. Brazilians of old, for example , didn't win games by luck, but by hardwork and excellence.

And kudos to the girls for showing osimhen and his crew how to win

Nigeria is capable of doing anything and succeeding, except in politics and leadership. If we get the last one correct, Nigeria will be unstoppable in this world of humanity. It's only the young generation that can bring about the most needed change.
Our past leaders destroyed this beautiful country due to ego and religio-tribal innuendos. Very heartbroken!

Saudi89 Nigerian had a great comeback from 4goals down against the USSR, Oleg Salenko played that game for the USSR. 6years later he was the highest goal scorer in US94 world cup where they destroyed Roger Miller's Cameroun side by 6:1. Mutiu adepoju was really young then.

Atlanta 96 was the greatest victory Nigeria ever had in terms of football at any level. Brazil were world cup defending champions with world cup players like BeBeto, Aldair, and Ronald Lima, Rivaldo, Roberto Carlos and juninho paulister was also there but Nigeria came down from 3:1 down to beat Brazil 4:1, the whole Nigeria erupted with celebration, never has Nigeria seen a celebration like before till date. BeBeto cried after the match and a 2days public holiday was declared in Ghana.

Kudos to our wonderful ladies and sisters!..

I was shocked when we were two goals down... But thanks be to GOD... for the resilient spirit and determination of our Super Falcons... we finally overcame...

This should teach us as Nigerians... that with a purposeful resolve... we can rewrite our history... because already GOD is for us...

Congrats once again Super Falcons... the sky is just our beginning point...
