Rotimi Fashina , a football analyst in his views said the Eagles were lackadaisical throughout the match, also lacking the winning spirit. “Agreed that nobody, team or country is infallible. “But I saw pride, lack of sense of urgency and absence of winning mentality in the Super Eagles of Nigeria against Madagascar in today’s match.

” I want to believe because the players and their technical team know that they are through to the rounds of 16, that is why the put up such an abysmal performance. “They should however know that such performance can be a catalyst to other failures because what they did today is a a bad omen, but I could be wrong,” he said
