Nigeria bowed out of the 2018 Fifa World Cup after conceding a 2-1 defeat to Argentina on Tuesday.
Marcos Rojo’s 87th minute strike broke the hearts of Gernot Rohr’s charges after Victor Moses had cancelled out Lionel Messi’s opener for the South Americans.
The defeat left the three-time African champions as the third best team in their group, behind Croatia and Argentina but fans across the world have reserved praise for the team’s performance and fighting spirit.
Hard Luck @NGSuperEagles .. You did a great job and really make us proud ud83dudc4fud83cudffbud83dudc4fud83cudffbud83dudc4fud83cudffb #CelebrateAfrica pic.
