Nigeria’s Future Eagles have now conceded nine (9) goals in three matches in Japan.

It's gone from bad to worse for Nigeria’s National Under-16 football team, the Future Eagles, at the Dream Cup in Japan.

The Future Eagles suffered their third defeat in three matches in the competition after falling to the United States of America on Sunday morning.

The United States defeated the 10-man Eagles 2-1 in their final game in the group stages in Japan.

That defeat means the Future Eagles failed to win any of their three matches, conceding nine goals with just two goals scored.

It has been a journey to forget for the Future Eagles but most importantly, a learning curve for the U16s in Japan.

In their second game in the Dream Cup, it was a total disaster as the Eagles fell like a pack of cards against host, Japan.

The young Samurais proved just too good for Nigeria following a 6-1 thrashing as reported by Pulse Sports Nigeria.

Nigeria and the US went into the final game as the only teams without a win in the group, but that accolade is now Nigeria’s to take home.
