Nigerians Applaud Football Team 'Super Eagles' Despite Defeat To Uruguay

African Champions, the Super Eagles of Nigeria have been commended for their wonderful performance last night despite their 2-1 lost to Uruguay in the ongoing FIFA Confederations cup, holding in Brazil.

Uruguay had taken the lead through defender Diego Lugano in the 19th minute before Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel equalized for the Super Eagles with a rare goal on 37 minutes. However, Diego Forlan scored the winner and dashed Nigeria’s hope of getting a point from the match.

Nigerians from across the globe have continued to pour encomiums on the Super Eagles describing the team’s performance as wonderful and above average, even as they expressed worries that lack of superlative strikers will continue to cost Nigeria glories.

A cross section of supporters who spoke to Vanguard through phone calls and online medium were happy that the team is improving everyday and charged team's coach, Stephen Keshi, to fortify the squad with competent strikers.
