Nigerian fans are coming to terms with a loss to England in a friendly game at the Wembley on Saturday, just a day after their \u2018beautiful\u2019 jersey was the hottest sports story in the world.<\/p>\n

First-half goals from Gary Cahill and captain Harry Kane helped England to victory, and Nigerians on social media shared their frustrations with the team that will be taking on on Lionel Messi\u2019s Argentina, Croatia and Iceland at the World Cup.<\/p>\n

The Super Eagles pulled a goal back shortly after the break through Alex Iwobi but only fleetingly threatened the hosts for much of the game.<\/p>\n
