Super Eagles head coach, Gernot Rohr has declared support for his players who campaigned at the Russia 2018 World Cup for putting up what he called “a very encouraging performance.”

Speaking at the Ogunlana Drive offices of the Nigeria Football Federation in Lagos yesterday, the German tactician said, “I am proud of my players who went to the World Cup. They only lacked experience. We had a very young team that was very good and did very well. They were the least ranked team but put up a good fighting spirit. “It is disheartening that we did not get past the group stage. The future is bright.” Rohr had some reservations for the Video Assistant Referee(VAR), which he said had different interpretations for different teams. “VAR recognised handball for France but refused to award us handball in a similar situation,” he said, adding quickly, “but I do not like talking about referees.” Another factor Rohr counted worked against the Super Eagles in Russia was lack of support. “Nigerian supporters were outnumbered and the general atmosphere was not good enough for concentration. It was an experience worthwhile.”

With your average player that can not even beat. The weak Argentina squad.. so why are you proud for.

I beg Ighalo join?

Abeg who know where shrine dey make we kukuma use ighalo as sacrifice to appease the gods wey talk say we no go fit beat Argentina for world cup

why wont you be proud of the players you selected by yourself> if you have said otherwise, you would have been in the labour market. Enjoy naija's pay till the sack comes or till you leave on your own

But we aren't proud of u and ur players

Hey shut up there!!!

Na u take ur hand kill urself.

First the Croatia match, u played Mikel a DM as a supporting striker, something u should have noticed in the Friendlies against England and Congo that u are playing him in the wrong position. An iwobi u should have given a free role, u kept him on the right and was even playing behind Mikel instead of playing him behind ighalo.
The match against Argentina, u really tried with the selection but ur greatest undoing was not bringing in fresh legs from the 75th minute to pack the bus. Even after Argentina scored u still had to wait to bring in ur strikers.
Abeg na u take ur hand do urself. You tried but the blame is on u. Forget VAR

Pls where's NFF office along Ogulana Drive?

Up super eagles

Statements like this reminds me of USSR in1965. Rohr won't say this statement if taken back to that time.
