I watch this match live, and I got lost during the street celebration, because I was just following the crowd not knowing where there where going, I can still remember it like it was last night
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 oh i remember that very memorable day...we celebrated so much that midnight
That's funny bro😂
Am a Kenyan and by then I was in high school and I was able to name every Nigerian player..
These great men played with all passion. I can call them a complete squad. Father Lord, please bring back the glory of Nigeria.
Fance
A big Amen 🙏
AMENNN
Amen
From Zimbabwe that was the best Nigerian team of all time
I wish they could return
Nigeria is truly the Giant of Africa
The best team my country has ever raised till today. Atlanta'96 Glory!
True 100%
Every African nation loved them, I was still in class 3 when this game was played.
Jay Jay, Kanu and the whole Nigerian squad made Africa proud. Let's not forget the Referee Luigi Collina, I loved the way he was always in charge. I loved this golden team.
Nigeria was the first country to win gold medal in football.congrats.
Still the referee failed to award penalty for a clear blocking of a shot in the Argentine 18 yards box!
That referee is a VAR himself 😊
Nigeria was too much for Argentina and Brazil. Nigeria team was so confident playing without pressure all players was awesome each other
I really admire their confidence
I remember that night like yesterday. I had just finished secondary school. The gold medal was like an icing on my holiday break. Boys and men all over the streets after the final in the middle of the night. So excited I couldn't sleep till morning
The Mighty Super Eagles of Nigeria.This was the greatest team ever. As a Zimbabwean I must say I was ecstatic to see fellow Africans showcasing such amazing football skills.

Very proud of them indeed
At one point while watching this replay,I forgot that it wasn't a live game.Was so "shocked and annoyed" with the coach at the point that Okocha was being substituted.Damnt then in comes Amunike(another gem).How deep was that squad?? Am actually crying(the pain of a Kenyan) how must be politics and corruption ruined the chances of such a team full of talent not to go on and conquer other international honours.
This was the year i was burn, am Nigerian 🇳🇬, live in Paris, and this is 2024! ❤️

It's spelt okocha
That was when my country made us proud 👍

Best African team in history. No reason we can’t have a team on this level nowadays. Morocco, Sénégal and a few other teams (Ivory Coast, Ghana, Algeria, etc..) also have the potential imo
I watched the game live on that awesome day. I have since watched it again and again on videos. This team represented the continent well and I am so happy that many of my people, Africans see it as such. Long love Africa!
Even me the way I was sneaking out to go and watch it as a young girl that time made my dad get us television

One of my fondest memories growing up, not just the fact we won gold but how we did it. We beat some of the best teams at the time, that Brazil game was legendary 🙌🏿.
I swear
We kicked their asses....

Almighty BRAZIL that year.
The talent and skill exhibited by Nigeria from 37:00 to 38:50 is unparalleled in the entire game. Kanu, Amunike and Amokachi conjured that goal from almost nothing.
They harassed the Argentines in their own half for that period, collected the ball, and with exquisite touches, put the ball in the net.
APPLAUSE!
This is the first team Nigeria ever produce,ever since no more formidable team kudos to the then super eagles.
@@hakeemjaiyesimi8820 no team from Africa continent ever produce this feat until Morocco 2022. While France get the best of Africa, Morocco did the opposite, get the best of Europe.
When you look at that line up now, you know why they won it. Packed with skillful beasts.

So was Argentina, look who played for Argentina.

Squad of 94/96 were just too good... Top class 💥💥💥
I remember this match like today. So surreal, thanks to the 1996 team. You made history for Africa.
That Nigerian team was scary at the time. Proud those guys reperesent Africa once. I hope Africa will shine in sports world once again like we did the years of 1990, 1994, and 1996. Proud African 🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴 Somalia❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿

THE BEST OF AFRICA, ENTERTAINMENT INDEED. MARVELOUS FOOTBALL, CONFIDENCE AND SKILL EXHIBITED. EVEN THEIR NAMES ARE STARS WRITTEN ALL OVER IT.
LOVED BY ETHIOPIAN DIASPORA 25 YEARS LATER.
It will take us many yrs to fall back to this kind of team in Nigerian football, I could remember vividly that midnight even in the village it was more joyous than 31st night of every yr.
Atlanta 96 will remain our greatest glory in the world of football. Watching on a black and white TV, I screamed my heart out that night. ThankGod for the golden goal rule that year.
Our finest Olympic moment. We are all very proud of you. This was our golden generation.
Nigeria was blessed to have the best defender in the history of Nigeria football. Uche Okechukwu was by far the most complete defender of his generation. He rarely committed fouls. He was calm and always timed his tackle. The only defender who missed out in signing for Barcelona, Rea Madrid, AC Milan, Manchester United, Arsenal, Bayern Munich or Juventus. He was underrated!

How can the Commentator say "Argentina technically gifted..."..not saying "Nigerians a joy to watch and Godly gifted as individuals and as a team...a-must-see-team.."
Yup, this Nigerian squad was fire 💥 and attained immortality in the Atlanta Games of '96! Legends like Ikpeba, Okocha, Finidi, Babayaro, Kanu, West, et al! Man, you made us all proud in Africa.
Yes great players they have.
This is the greatest moment of the Nigerian super eagles team in the world history of football. They performed greatly than just eleven men out there. They are a complete squad with great skills of football. They really ruled the world then. I was proud of them.
Wonderful team
I knew something was special about the Dream Team, and I had so much hope in them against all odds. After the unfortunate 2nd round exit of the Super Eagles at USA '94, the Dream Team brought joyfully wiped away our pains in 1996. Weldone boys!
Am a Ghanaian and Nigeria is our twin country.
All I can say is this is the real Nigerian Jersey colour.
YEAH
I am somalian so the nigerian ar real porathers
Yea I moss that white and green ..the 1998 world cup green too
We are not twins!
Nigeria and Ghana are not on the same level and will never be!
Datzall
We are twin brothers. And I think Ghana is the elder.
I am a Nigerian but this team has represented the whole of Africa and will put smiles on people's faces for many years to come.
A Tanzanian 2023
They beat Brazil in the semifinals and then Argentina in the final.
Absolute genius.
And they looked so comfortable as if they owned the competition.
I can watch this match over and over again. In fact I can put a permanent replay on the match.
Great team that wrote the names in Gold not just in Nigeria but all over the world.
Let Nigeria be great again!
No problem

When names like Argentina, Brazil, France and England do not shake us or scare us in football. When names like Roberto Bajio, David Beckham, Bibito, Batistuta, Roberto Carlos and Pele were just football players to us,,
Remove Pele from that list. He was in a league of his own.

do you have any photos of that day? It is not that i dont believe you, im just curious
I remember this well, and the semi final between Nigeria and Brazil.
I usually support South American football and Argentina. But I was happy that Nigeria did it after Ortega dived to win a penalty and how the Argentina players harangued the referee after the third goal claiming it was offside (when their trap had failed).
That trumpet sound carries with it loads of memory.
No be small thing

Ronaldo and Messi were still in primary school
I was only a 4 year old little boy by then and since I heard about this, I had always sort ways to watch this match.
I'm so happy, finally, I have seen it.
Thanks for the video.
I wasn't born yet, but am so happy watching this match on UA-cam. thanks to our then super Eagles. ❤️❤️
Oh this is emotional.... I can't imagine me crying after watching this match. Where have we gone wrong? Can we make it right again? There was a country but now things has fallen apart and the center can no longer hold
If only we agree to learn from our mistakes and work with one mind!
I feel like African teams have this potential but we don't play to our strengths anymore. We just tend to be more defensive instead of dominating the game
This is the best team that Nigeria has ever produced in history
Africa has ever produced

Only Messi made it easy for them. When he retires 🦅 s will farm on their land every 4yrs
When Nigerian football was the face of the entire continent of Africa

Ortega also received an Olympic gold medal for diving in the Atlanta games. Amazing how gravity seems to afflict some players.

There is no doubt that this is Nigerian Dream team. Congrats Nigerians and Africans at large
Funy clip
Nigerian football team played and had been playing well in those years when factors like Bias, corruption, tribalism, Regionalism, and selfishness from the administratives and players were not in placed. The coaches on those days were not Nigerian so factors like bias, tribalism and Regionalism were minimal Administratives ( Nigerian) had less say for the team so corruption was minimized. Most players were not from one specific part of the nation so they played with their heart and for the nation. If Nigeria didn't consider these factors and make changes, then the team will continuously deteriorating and we will never be like the old Super eagle.
