USA Coach Disappointed To Lose To Good Nigerian Team

USA Under - 17s coach, Richie Willams, was disappointed with his side&rsquo;s 2 - 0 loss to Nigeria in their opening Group A fixture, but was quick to praise the Golden Eaglets after they made his team look ordinary.<br /><br />Of the five goal attempts by the Americans, none of them was on target and they will be without Auston Trust in their next game after he was sent off for a rash tackle on Victor Osimhen in the 87th minute.<br /><br />&ldquo;We are obviously disappointed because of the outcome. We played a good first half, we were balanced, solid and we even created some chance that we were not able to convert,&rdquo; said Richie Willams.<br /><br />&ldquo;Nigeria scored two quick goals, but thank to unfortunate errors on our side. We were hoping to be more effective, but we lost against a good Nigerian team.&rdquo;<br /><br />The United States next play Croatia on Tuesday at the Estadio Sausalito, Vi&ntilde;a del Mar.<br /><br />Photo Credit : fifa.com<br />
