Nigerians are not criticizing them because they lost, we are angry with them because they didn't put up a fight, they didn't even try to contest for the game, they just rolled over and give the Croatians a cheap victory and I mean it when I say cheap victory because the Croatians were not spectacular in that game, a more serious Nigerian team would have had a chance to beat them
