Croatia Vs Nigeria: Read Nigerians Hilarious Reactions
Nigerians at home were set, the Nigerian Football Supporters Club had just been denied bringing in live chickens to the stadium but they were undeterred. The Nigerian jersey, having won the best jersey for the World Cup, was more than ready.
At different locations in Nigeria, meals were ready to be distributed at the various after-parties, people used their goodwill to bring out their television stations as a temporary viewing centre, the Mystic Marcus predicted and even the presidency called to ensure we were prepared for our win.
Except for the Nigerian players.

Nigeria’s first Russia 2018 World Cup game which held yesterday ended with Croatia beating the Super Eagles team to a 2-0 win. This win left Nigerians disappointed.
Some of who could not take the pain took to Twitter to react:
