Yesterday I watched Ghana-Guinea in the last group matches of the African Cup of Nations. Ghana
went ahead on a goal to die for: Emmanuel Badu, the super talented 21 year old of Udinese, scored a
stunning goal to put Ghana ahead! 23 meter from goal he gave the ball a tip to lift it before
hammering it in mid-air.
Farewell then to Sócrates Brasileiro Sampaio de Souza Vieira de Oliveira. Better known throughout
the world simply as Sócrates, captain of perhaps the best side
not to win the World Cup. 60
caps and 20 goals for Brazil; drinker; smoker; political activist; humanitarian; surely one of the
greatest, coolest players to grace the game.
Ronnie Whelan scores arguably one of the Rep. of Ireland's greatest goals, at
Euro '88 against the USSR with a suberb volley from just outside the area to beat Dassayev in the
USSR goal in a 1-1 draw in Germany. Note it was a shinner but who cares?
Probably one of the greatest ever volley's and it came in Euro'88 as Marco Van
Basten hit a great volley into the top of the USSR net to help Holland to their one and
only major international trophy to-date.
As we are approaching the QF of the U20 WC, and Nigeria is one of the qualified teams so far, it is
good time to remember one of the most incredible things ever happened in the world of the game.
That was in the 1989 U20 WC QF, Nigeria vs. Soviet Union. The game was held in Dammam in Saudi
Arabia, and I have attended the game in the stadium myself.
