The downfall of the U-20 National Team popularly called the flying Eagle from the ongoing U-20 World Cup in Poland did not come to many as a surprise.

When the competition was introduced in the late seventies, Nigeria was at the forefront in Africa , with a maiden appearance at the African championship in 1978 to 1979. From that time till date, Nigeria has appeared virtually in every U-20 AFCON championship and have been crowned champions a total of seven times.

Unfortunately, the flying Eagles which were once a dreaded team in Africa and the world have fallen beyond expectations and can no longer fly. At Poland, watching the team play was a nightmare to many Nigerian soccer lovers. At the end of the 90 minutes hostility, Nigerian players were humbled by a more enterprising team. The last match with Ukraine was to the Ukrainian’s a practice match as Ukraine had qualified already.

Regrettably, the the team that just failed in Poland is a terrible assemblage and a bad advert to our football growth. Over the years, we have recorded meaningful result from the age group National teams which looked like an end to itself.
