Eaglesin flight-World Cup moments

Image
Nigeria's participation in the Fifa World Cup has been a mixed bag of sorts, as the nation has seen the good, the bad, and the ugly in the four tournaments she has attended thus far. Since that cold evening in Constantine, Algeria where a Finidi George goal inspired Nigeria to hold the Fennecs to a 1-1 draw and qualify for her first Fifa World Cup, it has been a roller coaster for the Super Eagles. The Super Eagles have been to four Fifa World Cups. USA 1994 was Nigeria's maiden bow, followed by appearances in 1998 in France, Japan/Korea in 2002 and South Africa 2010. The football fiesta in Brazil this June will make it a fifth appearance in all. 9jafooty takes a look at Nigeria's highlight reel, juxtaposing the feel good moments with the tempest ridden in the four tournaments the Super Eagles have participated in.
