Nigeria vs. South Korea

Nigeria v South Korea

It's not just the miss of this World Cup, it is the miss of ANY World Cup. Yussuf Ayila crosses from the Nigerian left and it beats Jung Sung-Ryong, falling perfectly into the path of Yakubu three yards out. In front of an open goal, he slots wide. It's incredible.

Its not incredible, it was almost mathematically impossible. I've seen strikers sky them over the bar after a bad touch never on the ground though. Roberto Carlos has the impossible goal, Yak has the impossible miss.

My god these are some misses by Nigeria. I'm not sure what exactly South Korea is doing in the back now.

Thank god the Argies scored. I think Teppic died 15 minutes ago.

I told young b.o.g. to put the Yak down for the golden boot in his school thingy.

A lesson there for him.... don't believe your 'arl fella won't make you look a fool in front of your claasmates, mine told me that the 1st man on the moon was louie armstrong, first hand up when the teacher asked the day after........ bashtard !!

Great match. Pity that idiot got himself thrown out against Greece, that and the finishing cost Nigeria a place in the knockout stages.

Wonder what price you would have got on no African teams making it to the knock outs?

I had 3 going to the round of 16. Nigeria, Cameroon and Ghana. Just another reminder of why I don't gamble.

Yak missed an absolute sitter from 5 yards.

Yakubu looks a shadow of the player he was.

 

[Reidy's Bottle Of Grecian]

well I'd rather Nigeria have gone through than the Koreans, due to joey and the yak, and of course the other fella.

Not such a shadow, but an eclipse.

Not such a shadow, but an eclipse.

He's big enough these days to be the cause of one.

[micknick]

I think the Yak looks in good shape.

Really bad miss that though.
