Angry Nigerian fans have voiced their displeasure after the Super Eagles were on Wednesday in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, eliminated from next year’s Africa Cup of Nations.
They also faulted the tactics of Eagles
coach, Stephen Keshi, saying he had no game plan throughout the
qualifiers for the 2015 AFCON.
A cross section of those interviewed said
they were pained by the fact that the Eagles struggled all through the
qualifiers in a group adjudged fair for Nigeria. They traced their
lacklustre performance to the quality of the Nigerian bench.
The African champions came back from 2-0
down to snatch a 2-2 draw in added time against Group A leaders Bafana
Bafana, but it was not enough to help them qualify and defend their
title in Equatorial Guinea nest year.
“These Eagles are nothing to write home
about; they are the worst Nigerian team I have ever seen since I have
been watching the Eagles play. The players feel they are too big to play
for the country. They should be disbanded,” a fan who identified
himself simply as Uduak, said at the Uyo International Stadium,
immediately after the game on Wednesday.
