Nigerians responded on social media to the Super Eagles’ 3-0 loss to Guinea-Bissau on Tuesday in an AFCON qualifier for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations.
Guinea-Bissau trounced Nigeria at the 24 de Setembro National Stadium in Bissau, according to the Footynaija.
Renato Nhaga’s assist gave Franculino Djú the lead in the first half for the home team.
Before Álvaro Djaló scored a late goal for the home team in stoppage time, Mama Baldé increased Guinea-Bissau’s lead in the 65th minute.
In response, numerous Nigerians bemoaned the Super Eagles’ performance against Guinea-Bissau, while others chastised certain players.
The following are some responses that Footynaija collected on X:
@akwaibomdaily, “Bassey is the Super Eagles’ only serious football player.” Ajayi, Moses, Bruno, and Nwabali are all extremely careless athletes.
@_AbiolaPharays, “The Super Eagles have a responsibility to always bring us down.
There are still games to play, so it’s not time to pull out our calculators.
@Habatovation1, “Quality football is more important than FIFA ranking.”
This serves as a reminder once more that the current Super Eagles are incapable of producing anything. Super chicken.
@BukolaOfGod, “The Super Eagles consistently perform appallingly when playing for Nigeria, despite having some of the best players in the world’s top leagues.” What precisely is happening?
“The Super Eagles coaches should start playing Nwabali from the bench,” said @akwaibomdaily. We’ve had enough.
“The Super Eagles are a total disgrace,” said @Elishama.
“After this match against Guinea Bissau, Stanley Nwabali should never be called to the national team again,” said @Trinityter77.
@GodwinsOE, “We must have a serious conversation about Ademola Lookman.
He has recently performed poorly for both his club and his country. We must eventually cease offering justifications and deal with his performances.
@sportingshina, “I believe it’s high time the players were held accountable too for consistently failing to give their best in national colours, but most of the time Super Eagles coaches take the blame for poor performances.”
@sorungbefaith, “Eric Chelle will lose his job if he trusts players because they began his tenure.” I have consistently maintained that the Super Eagles team should not include Bright Osayi Samuel, Bruno Onyemachi, Ndidi, Akor Adams, Arokodare, Chukwueze, and Nwabali.
