Fans were bitterly disappointed with the Super Eagles players following the team’s lacklustre performance against Central Africa Republic in the 2022 World Cup qualifier at the Teslim Balogun Stadium, Lagos on Thursday.

The Eagles suffered a shock 1-0 defeat in Lagos to end their 100 per cent start to the World Cup qualifiers.

Gernot Rohr‘s men were below par despite parading stars against a country who are rated 123rd in the world and were punished late into the game.

Raoul Savoy’s men produced the best chances of the game, much to the frustration of the fans, who started chanting and booing their own team, while another section of the fans praised CAR players for their bravery.

Despite five minutes additional time, fans trooped out of the stadium immediately the late goal was scored.

Speaking after the game, the fans were expressed disappointment with the performance of the Eagles.

Afolabi Obasa said it was a poor performance from the Eagles.

“It was a below average performance from the Eagles, it wasn’t good enough and I am so disappointed.

“The approach of the players to the game was nothing to write home about and even if we make it to the World Cup, a lot needs to be done. But first the coach must take the blame for this poor outing against CAR because once the tactics was wrong there is nothing the players could do.”

Another fan, Dotun Owanikin, also faulted the Eagles attitude for the defeat.
“We were expecting a better performance from the Eagles but unfortunately we only saw flashes of brilliance from Victor Osimhen and Chidera Ejuke.

“Our defenders on many occasions were porous. The CAR players are very young and were hungrier to win the game. I am very disappointed with the performance I saw today.”

“I was almost brought to tears after goal was scored because despite the poor performance I was hoping the Eagles could still get a goal,” a female fan Funke Akintoroye said.

“It was a disappointing performance from the players and I think they underestimated their opponents. It’s so sad but I hope we can get a win in our next game.”

Ekene Samson added, “I was not surprised when fans started booing the team as this was expected anytime the Eagles are not doing well but we hope they will do well in their other games.”

The match pain me olohun

C.A.R too small to defeat the eagles

I was disappointed

Abeg make una free the players joor.
Patriotism & National Pride is at an all-time low in this country; no thanks to the divisive actions of Buhari & his government.
Nobody wants to go the extra mile for the country including the players. Just brace yourself for more disappointing results.
Even me, I cannot come & kill myself because of this kwantiri.

What is super about this Eagles.

Playing FIFA is more fun and entertaining than the nonsense they played.

Very nonsense squad.
Super Eagles is not a good team they only win matches by luck and mostly because they play weaker teams.
They should be ranked 100 and above by FIFA that is where they belong.

Show of charade

Which game Super Eagles dey win before? I'm not surprised about their performance, no be today.
Even their problem is not coach issue again. It's a matter of national bad luck.
So stop blaming their coaches all the time.

The Eagles played what was expected.

Nothing is working in the country. A win would have given us false hope
Worst of it all, APC supporters will see it as achievement for Buhari

All these people that take(took) their precious times to watch super chickens play are really trying, honestly.

Resource wasting squad.

Thinking, Shebi if them(NFF) give me and fellow football(playing) enthusiastic nairalanders that money, we will make a very good squad.

Fixed match. Make dem dey tell us anytime dey wan do promo like that. Make we dey carry opposition for bet9ja

I love that.

Nigeria will keep on being failure in everything.

NFF will say that's why they didn't want games played in Lagos.

This is the highest act of stupidity by all this Lagos fans.

Good one

WATCH OUT FOR PART 2.
The return leg will be on Sunday in CAR.
Like for Super Eagles. Share for CAR

I won't really blame these Players.

They are plying their trade under the banner of a cursed entity. Nigeria is cursed, take it out and back. It stays the same just like the law of Gravity.

They better disengage themselves before this Corpse called Nigeria before it putrefies their Destinies.

Before you make a reply, go and consult Anthony Joshua and co.

Surprising to say the least, didn't even know CAR plays football.

Lagos fans abi Nigerians?

W

Like anything is still working in Nigeria…
All the hand raising Rohr was raising is a sign of frustration.
So leave the guy alone and fix the country's bad luck first.

Now somebody is talking !

Tell me what's working in this country?

Meanwhile, if we would not allow our emotions to overwhelm our sense of judgement, the eagles were not that bad yesterday, it's just they were a little bit unlucky, and that's football for you.

I don't know why they should take important matches to Lagos when Uyo stadium is there

Oh no, the players faced racism Even in their home by their fans
