Saw the Nigerian goal outside a cafe, just round the corner from my home, where EVERY World Cup match is proudly being shown on two plasma screens in their outdoor courtyard. Coffee drinkers and passers by as one, gathered in the street to enjoy the Greek keeper get completely bamboozled by a phantom touch.
Lovely atmosphere - horrible goalkeeping.
One-time player of the tournament, Nigerian glove man Vincent Enyeama, unfortunately matched his counterpart's howler by gifting Greece their winner.
The 2004 European champions are not a pretty side and, some what because of this, the game must be filed under 'Interesting Enough - Ultimately Forgettable'.
Much like this:
THE STORY SO FAR
Match of the tournament: Spain 0-1 Switzerland
Player of the tournament: Diego Forlan (Uruguay)
Goal of the tournament: Tshabalala (South Africa v Mexico)
