‘Beating Spain Isn’t for Everyone’: Super Eagles Roast France After World Cup Semi Exit

‘Beating Spain Isn’t for Everyone’: Super Eagles Roast France After World Cup Semi Exit

Nigeria’s Super Eagles seized the moment to troll France after Les Bleus fell 2-0 to Spain in the World Cup semifinal. Despite missing out on qualification themselves, the official Super Eagles account on X shared a throwback to Nigeria’s famous 3-2 win over Spain at the 1998 World Cup. The caption read simply, “Beating Spain isn’t for everyone,” drawing smiles from football fans over weekend. Spain’s goals from Mikel Oyarzabal and Pedro Porro secured a third straight win over France. As the Spanish prepare for the final, Nigerians online have reminded everyone how they once stunned La Roja on football’s biggest stage.

Una think say calling out France helps fans cope with missing out, or is it just playful rivalry?

I agree, targeting France offers fans a lighthearted way to process the loss and bond over shared frustration.

Trolling France after Spain's win feels a bit opportunistic when Nigeria didn't even reach the semis ourselves.

I'm not convinced this kind of banter builds team spirit; it might just distract fans from real issues.

Next time, focusing on the upcoming qualifiers and praising strong plays could unite fans more than these nostalgic jabs.
