The problem with Nigeria was simple: the players were very tired, couldn’t cope with the pressure Ivory Coast brought into the game.

Yeah the African mentality has set in. Anytime an African looses a game we blame the referee. Even in the local matches, if a local team looses to another local team from another town, we'd blame the referee. I watched the game in its entirety and l was supporting the Super Eagles. I didn't see anything the referee did that was a violation or purposely against the Eagles. It was a sheer luck that Ivory Coast won the game because all predictions was that the Eagles were the favorites to carry the day. And so let's stop blaming the referee and congratulate our two West African Countries for making West Africa proud.

It wasn’t luck that they won the game; they were better, they dominated play.

CiV was the better side on the day. However, it was glaring that the referee's calls neutralzed the Nigerian striker Osimhen as every 50/50 call went against him.

Absolute nonsense. You lost because you Nigerians were playing a scared game. You were behaving like cowards. You were scared of the Ivorians. You are not good enough fullstop. Negative game.must wanted yo defend the.1 goal lead. So negative. Instead of finding the cause of your negativity you want to blame others. You will not go far with that mentality and behaviour.

Nonsense, why are Africans so backwards? Ndidi is a fool to say that the ref was against them. He plays in the west and so he should know better, no western countries will push it to the referee when they lose. The referee didn't do anything wrong. Nigerians couldn't play at all. None of their players was switched on. Ivory Coast played well as the percentage speaks volumes. Nigerians shouldn't use Oweibi in their squad, he's not a good player to me.

These Zoogerians have started their nonesense..in this tournament, if u check the team that was favored the most by referees, I can boldly say it’s these Zoogerians..Zoogerians we’re favored by referees by giving them penalties in most of their matches..their first game with Ivory Coast in the group stage, the referee gave them a wack penalty that made them score Ivory Coast..But in reality that five by Osimen didn’t deserve penalty..The Nigerian team was just an average team, they were just sometimes winning with luck and also the team was very determined..I said it before the match that Ivory Coast was going to core them in the finals..When Zoogerians played Ivory Coast in the finals, Ivory Coast played better than them, but they were just lucky because the referee gave Nigeria a free penalty which was not even a penalty..they were expose in the finals…congratulations to the elephants of Ivory Coast
