When we heard that it was Croatia we were playing against.

Then we noticed that it’s not even only us that’s watching the match.
Good luck to the @NGSuperEagles today in the #WorldCup ๐ณ๐ฌ๐ณ๐ฌ๐ณ๐ฌ

โ Team Nigeria (@Iam_Abdulaxis) June 16, 2018Maybe it would have been better if we had played in the afternoon.
Nigeria should have played in de afternoon, photosynthesis requires sunlight

โ JIGSAW (@Farnell_Mtey) June 16, 2018We started questioning the reason they even went to Russia.
You people went for tourism. Thank God for journey mercies sha https://t.co/HIWSIBPUNh
โ efe can sing. (@EfeOraka) June 16, 2018But it’s not as if they didn’t try to warn us.
This one that Nigeria players are already begging even before our first #WorldCup match. They better not underperform ๐ pic.twitter.com/qx9eZNWTOd

Olamide & Phyno shot the video for โRoad 2 Russiaโ yesterday. By the time they release it, the Super Eagles would already be on their way back from Russia.

Spain lost their first game at the 2010 World Cup. They went on to win that World Cup. Random #WorldCup tweet.
โ JJ. Omojuwa (@Omojuwa) June 16, 2018And when people tried to hate we reminded them that we are sha playing in the World Cup.
How can you hate from outside the Cup? You canโt even get in! https://t.co/Lr7VA8uaHR
โ Tu abuelo (@CallMeAlhaji) June 16, 2018At the end of the day who is to blame?
Who do you blame for our defeat?
The players? (Specify) The coach? The opponents? The stadium? Our government? Ghana?#CRONGA#WorldCup#NaijaIssaGoal #ShareACokeWithOurSuperEagles โ Mad EโLeine ๐งโโ๏ธ๐ณ๐ฌ (@badgalmaddie_) June 16, 2018There might even be an upside to our loss.
Apparently, the Super Eagles of Nigeria promised their President that โWe will bring the World Cup home.โ
Let politicians also know how it feels to receive empty promises! ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐#CRONGA โ Francis Ndungโu (@Frank_ndungu_99) June 16, 2018We might not have won this match but you know we stay winning with our jersey.
