Football loving Nigerians could not hide their anger after the Flying Eagles 2-0 loss to the United States of America (USA) at the FIFA Under- 20 World Cup, FIFAU20WC, in Poland on Monday night.
Forward Sebastian Soto scored a goal in each half to condemn Paul Aigbogun’s men to their first loss of the competition, leaving them with all to play for in their final group game against Ukraine.
Nigerians took to their various social media accounts to vent their thoughts on what was indeed a listless performance from the Flying Eagles.
Here are some of the best reactions to the defeat;
Let us kick start this with this particular Nigerian comparing Ladan Bosso’s 2007 side to the current team.
Between Ladan Bosso' team and Paul Aigbogun' team i don't know which is less desirable.

How you select 34 year old men to a tourney meant for #U20 and they are humiliated by proper kids.
Smh!
According to this fan, Nigeria’s defeat did not come to him as a surprise.
Who will refund him his fuel money now?
These Nigerians did not hold back as they had very strong words for the coach, Aigbogun and his players;
Coach Paul Aigbogun has been totally outclassed and outwitted by his American counterpart. For a manager that had part of his coaching education in the United States, this has been overly poor from a tactical point of view. #FIFAU20WC #USANGA

Where did Coach Agbogun got this floppy set of wing less flying chickens from? This is the worst set of flying eagles in recent tome

More knocks for the team, no cohesion, talent, and no positives, according to the following persons;
Well, is this the end of the road for the Flying Eagles? This Nigerian certainly thinks so and he isn’t alone.

Knocks for the NFF as well, with calls for a better selection process.
Well, with one more game left in the group stages, it is not all gloom and doom. This Nigerian is still hopeful that the Flying Eagles can turn it around.
The Flying Eagles will have one more chance to prove him right and also impress other Nigerians when they take Ukraine in their final group game on Thursday.
