Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that Verydarkman reacted to the final match the Super Eagles played against DR Congo.

The team had faced DR Congo in an intense encounter, but the Super Eagles eventually lost during the penalty shoot-out.

Reacting, VDM criticised the team and noted that many of the players usually perform well for their clubs, yet struggle whenever they represent the country.

He added that players from other nations also play for clubs abroad, but still give their best when called up to represent their countries.

According to him, this has not been the case with Nigeria’s men’s football team. He further stated that the team had not shown real improvement since 1974, almost half a century ago.
