Golden Eaglets’ campaign for a sixth world title in Brazil came to an end with a 3-1 loss to the Netherlands early on Wednesday morning to the chagrin of football fans across the country.
Ajax young forward Sontje Hansen netted a hat-trick to propel the Netherlands past Nigeria 3-1 and into the quarter-finals at the FIFA U-17 World Cup Brazil 2019™.
The five-time world champions showed frailty in defence and lack of coordination and cutting edge in attack throughout the tournament, scoring nine goals scored and conceding another nine goals in four matches.
Coach Manu Garba’s boys, having lost to Australia in their last group match, once again came up short against the Netherlands to crash out of the 2019 FIFA U17 World Cup.
It's high time EFCC carryout their duty diligently. They should touch lite NFF because they are the real yahoo yahoo. Bribe taking and name substitute for highest bidder. They went to Brazil🇧🇷to tarnish our record. Four games ⚽2 win. Shio! #NEDNIG #U17WC. Oh my fuel 😭😭😭

Yoruba people used to say “ Ogbon ju agbara lo “ which means Wisdom thrive better than strength… The Nigeria 🇳🇬 #GoldenEaglet played with power, running and grit, while The Netherlands 🇳🇱 played with their brain 🧠… Meanwhile, this man has been warning us ever since 👇👇👇 pic.twitter.com/bKZRPuURtX
