Super Eagles players were all over social media celebrating the team’s epic display against Argentina.
Alex Iwobi scored twice, with Kelechi Iheanacho and Bryan Idowu notching one apiece as the Nigerians produced a remarkable comeback to beat the South Americans 4-2 on Tuesday.
It was a performance never envisaged from Gernot Rohr’s lads who heads into the World Cup year brimming with confidence.
Here’s what the players themselves had to say after the encounter.

Algeria on Friday was solid already. But today is kind of historical coming back like this from a 0-2 vs Argentina. Considering the fact that we played like that system for the 1st time makes it even greater!! Up up Supereagles, up up Nigeria ???

What a sensational way to start the WC preparation. And once more we’ve showed that our team spirit is key. Together we stand, divided we fall. I’m so, so proud to be part of this team.
