There would be no gold or silver medal for Nigeria in the men’s football tournament of the 2016 Olympic Games following a crushing 2 – 0 defeat to Germany in the semi-finals.
Nigeria’s Mikel Obi vs Germany in the semi-finals
As expected Nigerians had a lot to say about the crushing defeat.
Most who commented on social media claimed Nigeria missed star striker Oghenekaro Etebo, others felt Okechukwu Azubuike was missed in midfield.
In more concerned comments, some Nigerians felt the team should be lauded for even getting to the semi-final despite the financial difficulties rocking the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).
Below are some of the best comments NaiJ.com was able to gather;
We miss ETEBO in this match— i No Well (@Hisroyaldopenez) August 17, 2016
Wen Azubike was suspended n Etebo got injured...there were no better replacement! It has always been a problem in our teams. #NGRGER #NGR— Eyo Ubong (@EyoBricks) August 17, 2016
@bobbitwist I swear. We were too unlucky today. Etebo and Azubuike. Big misses.— Warlord. (@famousshyguy) August 17, 2016
No real expectations going in to this. Was always going to be a stretch with Etebo and Azubuike out. Germany a very technically sound side.— Daddy-Abdul (@Quadribello) August 17, 2016
I sha respect @mikel_john_obi. He fought hard but the system he was fighting for is in disarray. We need to reorganize out sports please.— Baba Folarin (@That_IjebuBadoo) August 17, 2016

For a team that has gone through so much trouble including the distraction of beret wearing minister nosing around camp. Kudos boys #NGRGER— ANIEKEME FINBARR (@aniekemefinbarr) August 17, 2016
