Super Eagle's coach Gernot Rohr is bearing most of the brunt from fans, but the players are also not spared following their disastrous performance in the 2022 World Cup qualifier against the Central African Republic.
The Super Eagles were the clear favourites going into the first leg of their doubleheader clash against Les Fauves at the Teslim Balogun Stadium in Lagos.
The odds favoured Nigeria as not only they were 90 places above their rivals in the FIFA rankings, they had also not lost a World Cup qualifier at home in 40 years.
However, the unthinkable happened in Lagos as Karl Namnganda capitalised on a defensive error from Leon Balogun and William Troost-Ekong to score the only goal of the game and claim a famous win for the Wild Beasts.
It was a well-deserved win for CAR, but an embarrassing display from the Super Eagles and fans showed their anger after the game, with Rohr bearing most of the brunt on social media.
Some called for the German tactician’s resignation, while others hit out at the team’s display.
“#Rohr should just resign”, a user said.
