"What sort of defensive structure is this by the Eaglets please?"
Another added: "This is the worst Nigeria U17 team I've seen in the last 15 years."

The Golden Eaglets have comeback from behind to win their first two matches but their spirited-fight back was not forthcoming against Australia and the Netherlands.
After just four minutes played, Hansen put the Dutch ahead with a neat passing game before Olakunle Olusegun leveled matters in the 12th minute.
Three minutes later Hansen was on hand again to score the second as the Nigerian defence were cut open for the second time.
The Golden Eaglets' ability to score goals have been a major problem at the World Cup despite dominating possession.
After several futile attempts on goal the Netherlands won a penalty in the 80th minute and Hansen sealed qualification for the Europeans who made it into the last 16 with two losses and a win in the group stage.
