Two remarks: 1) The term Golden Eagles was used in press to describe the rise of Nigerian Super Eagles to winners. 2) Please note that the song might appear a little controversial to you because of its military terms language used. The song cannot describe the human being Rashidi Yekini it does not really know and who is said to be really a nice guy. The idea of weapon metaphors originate in sport reporting and used such as here it is questiong itself when the military metapher for sports implies a sport meatpher for military actions as well. Today this question seems very important again, when an attack on Irak for most US-Americans is not much more than a game, a tv-thrill like a football-match. This is a huge difference to what it means to people such attacks are inflicted on (of course not Saddam Hussein was the gulf war victim or loser but the people of Irak). But before there is a missunderstanding: This is not the core of the song. It creates a field between the poles of acoustic metaphors of the opponents fear and fans joy, enthusiasm and exuberance. Herefor this was only a method. As said the song is from the perspective of a fan seeing the action on the field involving a player named this way not a characterisation of the person himself.
