    This victory was celebrated in Ethiopia as if our own team had won the gold. What a generation Nigeria had !

    I was still in primary school in Kenya but I remember we had the names of all the Nigerian players by heart. They we representing the African continent. I also still recall Sunday Olise's goal at the world cup. Thank you super eagles, you made our childhood what it was.

    I remember, i was 12 yrs old still in nigeria when we won the Olympics. it was very late in the night, and we had no T.V. We listened to the brazil vs Nigeria Game on the radio. I remembered my father pacing back and forth the living room. When brazil was up 3:1, it was so sad. And then it was 3:2.. and before you know it, Kanu did what no nigerian has ever done, equalizer the game with brazil. That moment was a defining moment in my life, i saw my father so happy!, the noise that came up, you can hear it, flow through the night skies. Like an earthquake! i swear.. The whole nation was happy, you can see people in the streets hugging one another, no ibo, hausa, yoruba... it was just one Nigeria. No politics no religion but pure joy spread through the nation. And then, the unbelievable game winning goal came..sigh. This game was, against Brazil showed me Nigeria is filled with people with good heart. Yes, we still have greed but i will tell you.. we have football!

    Believe me: I'm Brazilian but I'm a big fan of this Nigerian team. It's 2023 and I'm still playing Winning Eleven 2000 and it's one of my favorite teams. Babangida, Okocha and Kanu destroy with opponents! I already made a team with only African players in the master league: Kanu, Babangida, Okocha, Oliseh, Mboma, Masinga, Weah, Slimani etc. Olimpiada more than deserved, because it is not easy to beat Brazil and Argentina in the same competition.

I Love Nigeria that Giants of Africa.

    I was about 5 when this game happened. I remember my dad and my uncles watching it the Nigeria Vs Brazil game and how much joy there was in the air, I didn’t understand the significance of Nigeria beating Brazil and then Argentina right after. It was beautiful to see looking back on it now as an adult. I literally have tears in my eyes as I write this. I’m not an emotional person at all but this brought out my emotions because it shows the potential that Nigeria has. If we invested more in ourselves, imagine what we could accomplish? From football to academics, politics to business and so on. We have great people in this country and this Nigerian team is just a small sample fo the rest of us. One day we will reach our potential. Now let me wipe these tears of my eyes before I get caught being soft 😂.

    I had just finished my WAEC exam at the time. There was no light in my neighbourhood, and very few homes had portable power generators. Our entire compound watched the match on a black and white TV powered by a car battery, set up by our electrician neighbour. I had a front seat position. I will never forget the jubilation that ripped through the air that night. It was a perfect moment of unity and love among Nigerians. Everyone who gave up and went to bed when the score line was against us, got out of bed. And celebrations lit up the sky like daytime. It was beautiful!

Few minutes later the whole street screamed out loud and instantly I knew a comeback was happening as no Internet then . With luck that day Nepa brought light and it was 3-3, shortly nigeria scored the golden goal and the ultimate celebration started with people chanting our players name and music kicking off. This is a priceless memory .Nigeria was one of the happiest nation back then,where football always bring all together regardless of ethnicity, religion ,politics or rivalry .

    The Brazil game remains in the heart of every Nigerian till today! I remember when we were trailing 3-1. We had a penalty and Okocha was going to take it. My dad said he was going to miss and he missed. The only time I had so much hate in my heart for my dad 😃. But with Papillo majestically equalising and scoring the winner, all was forgiven! Most people will not remember that Okocha missed a penalty in the Brazil match because it is not on any highlights. But I was 11 years old and still remember it thanks to my dad's (unwelcomed) prediction during the match

    It was really amazing journey how Nigeria won Gold, How they put every tough opponents out, sometimes it's really doesn't matter from which country, under what political scenario you are playing, the thing only matters is your Country, the determination you put to get your Country flag rise high, and moment you give to all Countrymen to unite together to cheer your Country. I am watching from India and hoping one day our team would get their and make believe that Cricket is not only game to be played and cheered for.

    This was definitely the Golden team of Nigeria. I remember the Brazil game watching very early in the morning. I was 4yrs of age and I could remember my aunt and other siblings so jubilant after the Golden goal. There was even a song composed after the match. Lovely moments in the country's history. So sad our country can reproduce such players anymore.
