Victor Osimhen looks like a Sunday league striker; Nigeria won’t go beyond AFCON round of 16 – Fans

Despite the Super Eagles advancing to the Africa Cup of Nations Round of 16, Nigerian fans have expressed their disappointment with the team’s performance.

Super Eagles defeated Guinea Bissau 1-0 on Monday evening in their last Group A match.

The victory came via an own goal.

Here are a few comments of fans as captured by Goal.com.

What a big win for my dear country! While, Equatorial Guinea are giving other people (Ivory Coast) a shock of their lives. – Young Chief

Nigeria have been really poor this Afcon. (Victor) Osimhen looks like a Sunday league striker. – Rubanda Mayonza

Apart from the fact that the referee was against Nigeria, the Super Eagles had finishing problems. Over ten good chances and none were converted. – Abduls Omotosho

This Nigeria team has not been convincing for some time now, even before the tournament. – Sibusiso Mpontshane

Super Eagles need to up their game if they want to win this Afcon trophy. – Trend with Ola

It’s not just one goal, but an own goal. Not a deserved win, we aren’t improving.

The coach needs to come up with a solution to this issue. – Gabriel Owolabi

End of the road soon.

This Nigeria won’t go beyond the next round…can’t even score a goal. Guinea Bissau can beat them any day, man! – Kasefile

Where are the goals?

Three goals in the group stage, that’s absolutely bad for Nigeria, while they are heading to the knockout round. – Omarwoth Ronald

Disappointed with this Nigeria team. We won’t go beyond the knockout stage. Rooting for any of the underdogs to win it. – Emily Osejele

Who’s fooling who?

Should we tell ourselves the truth as Nigerians? I’m not sure this Super Eagles team is going anywhere. Y’all could go on and deceive yourselves but deep down you know the real truth. – To Be Honest
