GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!
Nigerian fans brought the stadium down with noise.
Sam?
With a big smile on his face after getting his first goal of the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the very first game, Sam felt on top of the world as he charged towards the corner flag.
A few celebrations flashed through his mind, but for this iconic moment, for his very first FIFA World Cup goal, only one celebration dominated in his head.
He jumped, swirled in the air, flung his right arm, and then…
"SUIIIIII!"
The tens of thousands of Nigerian fans in the stadium responded with him, roaring the iconic suii celebration that belonged to the Portuguese legend, Cristiano Ronaldo. What a moment it was.
"WHAT A GOAL!!!" The commentators raved.
"What a team this Nigerian side is".
"I still can't believe that just last year, this was a national team that was struggling heavily under the previous coach".
