Ike shoromu was too good he should be the man of the match.

You can see Okocha there with his strangulating pass. Aghahowa has a very sharp reflex. He did not pass to Okocha and go to sleep, he started running and collected the long pass from Okocha.

That pass from Okocha is very underrated.

Aghahowa had the best scoring ratio in our national team okonkwo,opabumi,Ogbeche our weak link…. Ike shoronmu is one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time

Agreed. Ogbeche should have also been left out the world cup.

Our defense was shaky thru our this match, players were not falling back quickly, the Irish where faster

Ireland were a top side that time. They hadn’t lost in 2 years prior to this game despite facing Portugal and Netherlands home and away. Anyways, Onigbinde was outdated and that team was useless except for JJ, Julius and Ike

Ike shorohumi was criminally underated in Nigeria. More composure even than enyeama

During his peak and that year( 2002), he was on fire and was the best goalkeeper you had that time

Wilson Oruma never played to his own skills. He tried to copy Jay Jay's style of play.

Grandpa Okoronkwo made a simple clearance and stayed on the ground 1 minute later till Nigeria scored. That guy should be the biggest age cheat in Nigeria’s history
