Nigeria’s Super Eagles are most definitely the toast of the tournament.
From the amazing jersey reveal to the traveling attire, the Nigerian team has been causing quite a stir on social media and the accolades have been pouring in.
The team is quite popular with the Eagles receiving a warm welcome in Austria and again in Russia where they were met with many fans.
And again in Russia, the Eagles were once more honoured with their dressing room sporting a banner which reads ‘Eagles don Land’ in pidgin English.
Coach Gernot Rohr’s men are kicking off their campaign against Croatia on Saturday, June 16, before battling Iceland and Argentina late this month.
The 2018 World Cup official hashtag for the @NGSuperEagles is #SoarSuperEagles.

It is hoped that the Eagles can do one better than their previous record of reaching the Second round of the world cup
