'I apologise to Nigeria. I apologise to my team mates. I take responsibility for this game because I had taken those chances I had that would have made it a different ball game now. But that is football and life has to continue.

“It’s a sad day for me, the boys and the country because we went out in a bad manner and we deserved more in the gam. We had a penalty in the game and another one which the referee did not give. I missed a couple of chances that would have finished the game but that’s football because sometimes you win and sometimes to lose.”

He was never a potent striker

Gra Gra and local champion can only take you to a certain level
Build the next squad with the boys that played atlethico Madrid and some of these present eagles
Also teach our boys and girls to be more confident in life. We are clearly lacking when the spotlight is on. We wilt massively

I dont think problem is ighalo,even he himself knows that he isn't good ,the problem is the coach ,why introduce ighalo early in the 2nd half when a player like iwobi was on the bench. I told ppl before that match that if ighalo is made to start any of the halves we will lose,he doesn't contribute anything to the team apart from conceeding unnecessary fouls and free kicks

Nigerians were blaming experienced referee for their loss instead of blaming this over-rated striker. Everytime they fail to play well in the tournament, they shout 'ojoro' and blame the referees. Funny country. Even the penalty that was given to Nigeria was not clear enough
