AT a time that Nigerians are still gritting their teeth over the dismal performance of the Eagles in South Africa in the on-going World Cup, Sports Vanguard can reveal that the players celebrated their ouster with champagne in Durban.

Nigeria needed a win over South Korea to sail through to the second round after Argentina had beaten Greece 2-0. But the Nigerian players floundered opportunities with Yakubu Aiyegbeni and Obafemi Martins the chief culprits.

Even as Nigerians mourned the exit of the Eagles, the players showed no remorse over their defeat as they went out on a champagne party in Durban.

Very reliable sources who attended the show of shame confirmed to Sports Vanguard that many people could not believe that the players who held their heads in pretence at the end of the match were the ones popping champagnes in the night.

A very high official who would not want his name in print described the party as the highest act of irresponsibility by the players. It is not the first time that Nigerian players would fumble in big competitions and go partying.

The heaven mustnt fall becos of the eagles

You would think they will still be lamenting about their abysmal performance at the World Cup!

do people expect them to cry for the rest of the yr. the WC is over, life goes on and they should continue living their lives the way they normally do. i am sure they havent had alcohol for a while so maybe that will help them forget about this dreadful WC.
