Speaking after the loss, Pinnick called on football loving Nigerians to forgive the Super Eagles and the NFF.

He further called on Nigerians to shift their focus to the qualification of the 2018 World Cup.
“The focus now is to qualify for the 2018 World Cup. We will keep the Eagles busy during the FIFA friendly windows ahead of the World Cup qualifiers,” Pinnick further said.
