Ex-Super Eagles Star Esin Slams Nigerian Players as 'Average' After Draw

Former Super Eagles star Etim Esin criticized the Nigerian national team's performance, labeling the players as average and lacking creativity. Nigeria settled for a disappointing draw against South Africa in the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers, with William and Calvin Bassey scoring for their respective teams.

Esin expressed disappointment over the team's inability to secure a win, emphasizing the lack of standout players who can make a difference on the field. With Nigeria now trailing South Africa by six points in Group C, their chances of qualifying for the World Cup are slim.

Esin urged for improved performances to avoid missing out on another World Cup appearance.
