Five-time world champions The Golden Eaglets early Wednesday morning crashed out of this year’s U17 FIFA World Cup after they fell 3-1 to European champions Holland in a Round of 16 contest.
After the Golden Eaglet’s exit in Brazil, football fans expressed dissatisfaction with the performance of the team.
Sontje Hansen‘s hat-trick sentenced the Golden Eaglet to defeat in their Round of 16 games at the Estadio Olimpico Pedro Ludovico.
The Golden Eaglets’ string of unconvincing performances, combined with their exit from the competition in Brazil left Nigerian football fans to criticize Manu Garba’s tactical decision.
The team lacked absolute co-ordination and play without tactics, the defense looks like it was shoved with men on crutches and the attackers lacked the cutting edge to convert goals.
Golden Eaglets’ quest for a 6th world title in Brazil came to an end with a record of 9 goals scored, and also conceding 9 goals. Statistically and record-wise this is the worst set of Golden Eaglets.
Nothing beats my imagination more than Nigerian players, the losing side were actually the ones doing the delay tactics thingy #NGANED pic.twitter.com/VcnB49cNcN

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
