The Flying Eagles of Nigeria, Monday night lost 2-1 to Senegal in the round of 16 clash at the FIFA U20 World Cup going on in Poland, thus ending the dream of many Nigerians of seeing the trophy brought home.
Nigerians, ever vocal, have taken to social media to vent; and many are of the view that the team that lost last night is “the worst flying eagles team” ever fielded by the country.

“The last time the Flying Eagles were this bad at a World Cup was 20 years ago.”
@aniefioketimMyk
“Nigeria U20 playing football exactly the way it should be played with Buhari as the President and Solomon Dalung as Minister of Sports.
The ineptitude and incompetence followed to Poland.
A national disgrace.
Tueh.”
@omaakatugba
“The Nigerian flying eagles is a reflection of everything Nigerian. Lies and deceit. Wuruwuru!! What a disgrace!!”
@Kenakani
“We’ve had worse Flying Eagles in the past. Fanny Amu’s 1995 wobbling & fumbling fame, Tunde Disu’s Nigeria 1999! Meehn! This is the most terrible U20 Flying Eagles ever!”
@dejiadefila
“Iru awon adojutini Flying Eagles wo leyi bayi?
Their coach no try at all.

“FT: #SEN 2-1 #NGA
THE TRUTHS;
– Tijani should go back to trade
– Okon with work rate, 0 brain
– Oremade = Useless
– Eletu tried but can’t do more than his brain
– Makanjuola looks like he can play but nothing
– In short, TEAM IS USELESS
The poorest Flying Eagles.”

“Where did we find this goalkeeper? Hasn’t been near impressive all through the tournament.”
@kayodesuberu
“Not only the goalkeeper, the entire team including the coaching crew.
They are a disgrace to football and this country.”
@phemmynice
“Worst #FlyingEagles I ever watched is this……”
@doermayoks
“Too many avoidable errors !!!!”
@Tobee_Davies

@ToluDirect
“Except for our oyinbo goalkeeper Flying Eagles are a bunch of overaged ‘I want to hustle club’ players.. #SENNGA game proved it Nigeria U 20 is so pathetic abeg.”
@midassoccer
“I was not surprised or expecting anything less from the Senegalese, The papa Flying Eagles don’t deserve to play a round of 16 game. The NFF board should be ashamed that they couldn’t get 21 football players under the age of 20 among 200 million people. Shame Shame Shame. “
