What does BBC mean again ? Burnley Beats Chelsea 😂. Yes I have temporary caught the football flu again. Chelsea's lost to burnley just got me excited and I have been teasing all dem chealse fans. This excitement got me remembering USA 94
Do you remember USA 94? You know that period super eagles were African champion because they just won nations cup. Tunisia 94 story for another day
Remember the first match with Bulgaria and that first goal by Rashidi Yekini.
And after that first match how we became fearless like we could beat any team. I mean bring Brazil we no fear last last he go end for draw.
Then we got into the second round and played with Italy. Where Roberto Baggio come go show himself. We were celebrating already because as at second half we were still leading. Any way Baggio equalise and eventually they won.
That was a very somehow day. The sadness that flowed through my house I can't even begin to explain. Like someone died.
Then the next morning we all tuned to Larry Izamoje the current owner of Brilla FM, he was a presenter with OGBC2 then. (He had a different surname then) There was this rumor going around that 5 of the Italian players tested positive to drugs and that meant automatic disqualification. No internet then so Larry was the surest source to authentic information. He came on air and told us it was a lie, that we were truly out of the competition.
That was a sad day, like a national mourning day. I didn't get my self for 2 days and I was still a teenager o.
But when the boys came home we gave them a heroic welcome and slowly the pains of defeat was forgotten.
