Africa Today News, New York recalls that Finidi netted Nigeria’s opening goal in the second group match against Greece and trotted towards the corner flag to celebrate the now-infamous urinating dog goal celebration.

In an interview with TribalFootball, Finidi stated that he could hardly explain what prompted the goal celebration.
His words; ‘My celebration at the World Cup was not planned.
‘I did not even know that I was going to score at the world cup, but after scoring the goal, I wanted to celebrate and I just did that spontaneously, and till date people still talk about the celebration.
‘I just got carried away after the scoring a goal at the World Cup.’
Nigeria, however, was knocked out in the Round of 16 by Italy after losing 2-1.
