British newspaper Daily Telegraph, in an appraisal of all the teams, rated Nigeria as only better than Saudi Arabia which lost the opening game of the competition 5-0 to host country Russia and debutants Panama who lost 3-0 to Belgium.



The paper described Nigeria’s performance as “a horrible performance from a group of players who didn’t seem to grasp quite how important their opening game at the World Cup was.
