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.
