Nigeria won their Group F game against Bosnia and Herzegovina in controversial circumstances at the weekend.
Bosnia had a perfectly good goal by Edin Dzeko incorrectly ruled out for offside minutes before Nigeria’s Peter Odemwingie scored the only goal of the game to seal victory for the Super Eagles and send Bosnia out of the World Cup.

How is that celebrating? Maybe the Nigerian player told him a really good joke.
Looks like a case of sour grapes to me. Yes, Dzeko's goal was on side when watching the replay on TV, but shit happens. The linesman didn't put up his flag, move on.
