Nigeria beat an Argentina side featuring Hernan Crespo, Ariel Ortega and Claudio Lopez to win gold at the Atlanta Olympics in August. Emmanuel Amunike’s 90th-minute clincher – from a laughable Albicelest­e offside trap attempt – seals the deal for Jay-jay Okocha, Sunday Oliseh, Nwankwo Kanu & Co, and Nigeria “runs out of beer” amid the celebratio­ns. It’s glory for hosts USA in the women’s tournament, as Shannon Macmillan and Tiffeny Milbrett goals secure a 2-1 victory against China.
