The controversial media personality did not fail to laud the Super Eagles goalkeeper Nwabali, whose two saves helped Nigeria defeat South Africa 4-2 in penalties,
Taking to his handle on Twitter after the match, he wrote; "Nigeria won but by mainly luck, Super Eagles performance was greatly d! sappointing. Nigeria's midfield was so flat up until the 62nd minute & even after that, the team was almost outplayed. The determination wasn't really there, SA played the better game truth be told, but kudos to the goalkeeper Nwabali, he alone did an excellent job"
However his opinion was met with a lot of backlash on the media app, some netizens urged Daniel to celebrate the nation's wins and be less critical while others dragged him to filth for always finding time to criticize other people's hard work.
