Weird Reactions To Super Eagles Loss In Egypt

By Abimbola Johnson On Jul 15, 2019

The Super Eagles of Nigeria lost to Algeria’s Desert Foxes at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON, semi-final on Sunday.

The Eagles defeat has since generated weird reactions from Nigerians on the social media.

In reactions gathered by THE WHISTLER, some Nigerians blamed the country’s green jersey for the defeat.

According to them, the Gernot Rohr’s side would have emerged victorious if the team had worn the green and white jersey rather than the dark green jersey.

I don tire for some Nigerians, Grown men talking shit about how the green jersey is bad luck. Why are we too superstitious in this country?

Why don't we just wear the white one and play nonsense because it's a good luck charm. ? #ALGNGA
