I grew up watching these talents play. I became fond of the Super Eagles from a young age. We used to have pictures of these players in those book we also posted lyrics.
Nevertheless, it was a joy watching Harambee stars draw with this legendary team in 1997 pale kasarani stadium, under the stewardship of the late Reinhard Fabisch.
Not forgetting Rashid Yekini
TEAM DREAM.
FIRE TEAM.
:D:D unaweza kumbuka vibiriti zilikuwa na picha na majina za players wa harambee stars. Kama wewe ni legend utakumbuka Hadi Kuna time in 1998 kulikuwa na bubble gums zilikuwa na picha ya players wa national teams zile zili participate in 98 world cup.
Other players like peter rufai, Thomas oliha among others. Team ilikuwa kali sana.
Wacha kudanganya elders. Hizo picha zilikuwa Kwa ketepa tea. I remember I had picha ya Ken simiyu after he scored against Super eagles.
Ketepa …kibiriti ndio ilikuwa na animals.
Ilikuwa ketepa kweli…? Na zile ball gum zilikuwa zinajiita aje? Za hapo 1998 kabla worldy. Only legends wanatambua hii maneno
One thing that jumps out of the list above is the the team was Igbo heavy.
Igbos are said to bright, hard working and talented. They are related to luos…:D:D
1998 ball gum tulikua tumezitupilia mbali sana tulikua tunatambua merry cane
na hizo cheweing gums zilikuwa zinaitwa aje kaka, najaribu kukumbuka, ni jojo ama coca cola. Ulikuwa unapata mbisha ndani hapo ndio nilijua jina ronaldo luis nazario, gabriel batistuta, jurgen klinsman :D:D. Nilikuwa na book nimejaza hizo mbisha :D:D
The Nigeria v Italy match of 1994 (quater finals?) is the cliffhanger the older generation will probably remember till old age. I remember the entire estate where we lived erupted in cheers when Naija took and held the lead up to the dying moments of the game.
Between that first goal and the 88-89 minute, the air of suspense in the hood and indeed in the rest of the country and continent was so thick a knife could cut through it.
That last minute equalizer by the Italians was a dagger in the heart of the African continent. I recall a loud collective gasp :eek:in the hood as that ball rolled past the goalkeeper and came to rest in the far corner of the goal.
The following morning people walked with their heads low in a sombre mood as they moaned the now dashed dream of what might have been the first trip of an African nation to the finals.
Gabriel batistuta nayo nilipata nyingi, na Ile jamaa ya Japan I can’t remember his name !!
When football was football.
Nakumbuka jina kama zamorano
Hizo sikupatana nazo pele ndio zilikua zetu
wazee, siku yenu ya ku reminise ni kesho - brare! :D:D
Dingoingooo tuliza boli ama tukufunge mguu na ka uzi
Yeah that was some game. After the Italians scored in overtime, then the Nigerians began to really play. But it was too late. It was like they were scared of Baggio. Had they have pressed with such intensity throughout the game, history would be different. After that loss, SuperEagles were never the same. 1998 team was so-so.
