'Worst Nigeria U20 team ever! - Twitter slams Flying Eagles after defeat to USA
Nigerians have slammed Paul Aigbogun's boys for their 2-0 defeat against the USA in their second Group B game of the U20 World Cup.
Sebastian Soto's double condemned the Flying Eagles to their first defeat in Poland. Fans were disappointed that the match was also dominated by the Americans.
The result leaves the West African country with a must-win game when they take on Ukraine for their last Group D fixture on Thursday.
Football enthusiasts on Twitter have questioned the players' technical abilities and also the coach's football knowledge in the wake of the disappointing loss.
We are playing badly very very poorly#..#USANGA

The Nigeria U20 captain reminds me of the recent Ashley Young.

Heavy first touches.

Multiple unnecessary touches on the ball#USANGA
My heart can't take watching my team being this completely and comprehensively out-coached. I'm changing channel. #USANGA

#flyingeagles This is one of the useless Team Nigeria have ever produce. Paul aigbogun lack tactical approach, didn't bother to do his home work and decided to assembled over aged players with lack of qualities. It a big shame @thenff #USANGA #FIFAU20WC #SoarFlyingEagles

The defending has been woeful. The Eagles are not closing the spaces and not winning second balls. #USANGA 1-0. #U20

#U20FIFAWC #USANGA This young USA team reminds me of the Ajax team that got to #UCL semi final. Very fearless,good ball movement and cordination. They have really exposed this 'young' Nigerian team

This U20 boys can't hold the ball for a minute, USA dominating comfortable and stringing some good passes together. I hope our Coach has a solution to this #U20WC2019 #U20WC #USANGA

USA totally dominating Nigeria with confidence. Cohesion, strength, pace and good ball controls#USANGA #U20WC

Epic header by Soto. Let's go kiddos! #USANGA #U20WC

That nonsense they played against Qatar already shows this team is so ordinary. #USANGA

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

This game is painful to watch. Hopefully their next game gets better. US on the other hand is doing a great job. Way to go. #USANGA #FIFAU20WorldCup #U20WC2019 #U20 #FIFA20 pic.twitter.com/NFjdgPojns

Even with 3 more hours this Nigerian boys will not score. No tactics, no team play, just boys in their 20s running around American teens .
My assessment of this Flying Eagles: little or no football sense! #U20WC #USANGA

Someday, we will realise that in whatever you do, there is a level of intelligence expected of you. Football is no longer garagara, no longer man know man! #NFF #USANGA #SoarFlyingEagles #naijanodeycarrylast #U20WorldCup
