After watching the Abuja fans booed the super eagles specifically during the national anthem on Sunday before the qualifier against Mozambique, goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama has launched an attack at the fans saying the act was just not proper.

the former Eyinmba safehands in a chat with newsmen said, he could not reason why the angry fans could disrespect the country, especially on live television.

"They can boo the team, that's their right as fans and I will admit that we deserve it.

"But to boo your own country's national anthem is just, is just criminal," Enyeama exploded in anger.

"It is bad enough to do it in private, but to boo your country's anthem on live television, with the whole world watching, was a shock to me and the other players.

"All of us had our hands on our hearts when the anthem started, but it dropped when they started booing.

"To boo your national team players is one thing. But to boo your own national anthem is a disgrace and I think the people who did it should be ashamed of themselves and apologise to their fellow countrymen."

I am highly dissapointed in Enyeama, i never know he could descend so low to complain about fans, dont he know what pains we went through on a rainy day like that when most fans lost confidence in the eagles, they could have made it better by giving us a good match but that was not the case, you cant remove passion from football..remember case of WEBO when cameroon lost ticket to last World cup?..and dont forget case of Escobar in 1994..

Nigerians will never change! Must we only associate ourselves with people when the going is good? Look at fans in other countries they might give yabis and all but they would never stand against the home team especially when it is of that calibre. May God help us to change our ways.
