“Worst Nigeria U17 Ever?!” – Fans Lash Out At Golden Eaglets Following World Cup Exit

Golden Eaglets’ campaign for a sixth world title in Brazil came to an end with a 3-1 loss to the Netherlands early on Wednesday morning to the chagrin of football fans across the country.

Ajax young forward Sontje Hansen netted a hat-trick to propel the Netherlands past Nigeria 3-1 and into the quarter-finals at the FIFA U-17 World Cup Brazil 2019™.

The five-time world champions showed frailty in defence and lack of coordination and cutting edge in attack throughout the tournament, scoring nine goals and conceding another nine in four matches.

Coach Manu Garba’s boys, having lost to Australia in their last group match, once again came up short against the Netherlands to crash out of the 2019 FIFA U17 World Cup.

Fans took to social media site Twitter to voice out their frustration.

Yoruba people used to say “ Ogbon ju agbara lo “ which means Wisdom thrive better than strength… The Nigeria 🇳🇬 #GoldenEaglet played with power, running and grit, while The Netherlands 🇳🇱 played with their brain 🧠… Meanwhile, this man has been warning us ever since 👇👇👇 pic.twitter.com/bKZRPuURtX

This Nigerian team doesn't have a defender, just 10 strikers and a goalkeeper #NGANED

The Kings of Comebacks – Golden Eaglets – were the Kings of Letdowns in disguise.

I'm not saying dis becos dey lost but dis is the worst Nigeria u17 ever.

Manu Garba picked good teams becos he chose on merit but den he started visiting Academy owners at home… #NGANED #u17wc
