Nigeria’s Super Eagles defeated the Chipolopolo of Zambia 1-0 in Uyo on Saturday to qualify for the World Cup at the expense of their opponents.

Many Zambians have not taken this defeat well as our research on their comments after the defeat indicates as obtained from the Lusaka Times (https://www.lusakatimes.com/2017/10/07/nigeria-end-zambias-2018-dreams/).

“Damn ,those Nigerian internet scammers must have used some cheating methods.Nigerians could never have qualified for Russia 2018 cleanly.”

Wanu Ngwee October 7, 2017 at 11:56 pm

“Now, can anyone help me understand why the Zambian soccer commentators on Supersport seem shy or scared to known to be supporting Chipolopolo- even when their counterparts are so clear about wanting their teams to win ”

“@1.4 Wenu …. it has angered me so much losing to a Team full of fluffers and hoopers from the English Premier league is so painful at least if those players came Seria A, LALIGA, BUNDASLIGA not EPL. It WILL TAKE ENGLAND ITSELF 200YRS FROM NOW TO WIN THE WORLD CUP, WHAT MORE FOREIGN PLAYERS.

Just see how coaches from top EPL clubs sweat and pant in UEFA Champions league when paired with likes of BARCELONA, BAYERN, MADRID. JUVENTUS, PSG.”

“I blame the PF government, they used all energies discussing corruption allegations. Forgetting that Nigeria, the world best thieves were offering $10,000 to each player just to beat Zambia.
2021.”

“Hard luck to our boys. You gave all you could but this world is run by shadow governments and the elite. If we had won today the Nigerians would have used all means possible (match fixing included) to beat Algeria. It’s a money game at the end of the day as confirmed by Herve Renard when he told CAF that you could not allow Zambia to go to the world cup coz Zambia is not ****. Sorry if I’ve offended someone.”

“Emotions aside ,clearly the better team won.Even by comparing decades of int’l performances and stats Nigeria clearly stands out as having better experience than chipolopolo.Lets not kid ourselves Zambia -we’re still toddlers in football while Naija is a teenager.”

“Games like that need experienced players you can not drop almost all the experienced players and replace them new ones. You blend them not just dropping them for your own reasons. Don’t be prejudiced give give the older players a chance and slowly phase them out. That was a competitive game that needed the help of the seniors.. players straight from dynamos or Zanaco with no exposure.. the won the last game but I still insist that every game is different… No player is indispensable but please don’t just snub players because you have that power…be humble.”

The THIRD EYE October 8, 2017 at 6:23 am

“Defeat is painful and frustrating to anyone of us…But we must show the spirit of sportmanship…Nigeria has beaten Zambia both in their home and away.This means the Super Eagles are the better team.

Zambia has a good team (zero to zero in the first half of the game), but they met a better team.

Football is not played in the media or in the pages of the newspapers…( The Zambian Coach should note that “pride goes before a fall”)….statements like…I am praying for Nigeria to lose to Cameroun or I am coming to inflict pain on all Nigerians…are beyond a psychological warefare, but plain stupid. Congratulations Super Eagles. May God bless Nigeria and help all the other nations.”

Sorry Zambians better luck next time.

E dey pain them, they be like Nigeria can do ojoro for Africa

It would have been a waste and bonus point to other teams if Zambia qualifies

lol... d 1 goal winning pain them

zambian goalkepper be lyk "I WOULD HAVE ACTED D WAY D GOAL KEPPER @ SHAOLIN SOCCER DOES...To save the goal

We don't care!

Buffoons!
Nigeria wiped them, home and away. They still have the time to troll online.

they should take heart,go home and eat nshima... chikala

They all have brain tumors. The trick was that first match matters. If you win your first match,especially away goals, that will give more confidence and focus to do better in subsequent games. That was it. You loose your first home game, you will have problems.
That what I wish Nigerian players do in Russia. No matter what group we are, first win matters by good margin, then the morale for the subsequent one will be there. Assuming we lost to Zambia in their home, it will be permutations we will be doing now ,saying if Zambia loose to Cameroon and we beat algeria by 5 goals on their soil , then we will likely qualify, and prayers will start like prapa bush iyn krara ggooobshs.

Hmm! The hate is real. Look at all the flimsy excuses they are bringing up for their loss. But these Zambians are good with written English though.

Ermm, wetin be score for una home again?

Op sha, you sef no try...

You just handpicked the bad comments first and padded it with a few good comments. I was on the website yesterday and there were lotsa matured Zambians who commended the Eagles and admitted that the best team won.

But someone made a statement that rang true: He said Nigerians are fond of tongue lashing other African countries in an arrogant way. The guy even mentioned Nairaland. That's the reason he was dishing back all of that.

I remembered clearly when we last visited Zambia and a report of how the citizens were happy to see Obi and co, someone here on Nairaland said something so appalling about Zambia girls.

Point is, let us learn to respect other African countries. Because they are trying.to dish back to us what 'we' dish to them... And there are a lot of loopholes to attack Naija from.

.

A losser will always complain

Cry me a river

Ki won tun so awon weyrey

Did anyone note how Nigerians are held in contempt? We're seen as a nation of scammers & thieves even when we won fair & square.

, e pain them

Oh my God. Na so them hate us reach? Help me see dis comment lala

blame the PF government, they used all energies discussing corruption allegations. Forgetting that Nigeria, the world best thieves were offering $10,000 to each player just to beat Zambia.

We the best,shikena.

Lol

You need to see the way they were boasting on Zamfoot since September and their reactions after the game. Check the comments after every article.

http://zambianfootball.co.zm/

Imagine comments from the majority of Zambians blaming everything and failed to acknowledge defeat...This is a clear African syndrome..."To blame everyone else but themselves (atimes, go metaphysical) for their failures and inabilities!

Some of them are still living in fools paradise

The person that made this statement must be a drunk,we've been to 6 of a possible 7 world cup tournaments,while the most rated zambian player plays for mamelodi sundowns,what are they going to do in the world cup

The Zambians were the better side, they played better than us I'll have to admit that...and besides that goal wasn't an offiside, its obvious the referee has been bribed!
