Golden Super Eagles and God Versus Football

World Football

Available for over a year

The London Olympics football tournament has kicked off without the 1996 gold medallists, Nigeria. Emmanuel Amuneke, who scored the goal that clinched Africa's first football gold medal, says the Super Eagles' run of poor form has lost them the respect of other countries. We hear from the youngest scorer in the history of the European Championship as Johan Von Lanthen tells us why Christianity is more important to him than football. We're with Iraqi refugee Ali Abbas as he signs for Australia's biggest club and in North America as some of the names of the 1970s prepare for a comeback.
