The performance of the Super Eagles in the ongoing African Nations Championship is terrible, and it has put them in a difficult situation to qualify for the knockout phase of the tournament.
No, it does not put them in a difficult situation, it puts them out of the competition. Nigeria have been eliminated. Two games, two loses, zero goals scored, five goals conceded, - 5 goal difference, bottom of the group.
I think our performance in this tournament is testament to how poor the quality of football is in our local league. This is a tournament for players playing domestically, so if we were playing great football in the NPFL, we wouldn't be eliminated in the group stage of this competition.
I haven't been following the African Nations Championship, but after I read your post, I immediately checked the group of the Super Eagles, and I was so disappointed when I saw the Super Eagles at the bottom of the Group D table with zero points. Now I see the reason why you said that the Super Eagles' performance put them out of the tournament because even though they beat Congo, they will still not qualify for the knockout phase of the tournament.
