Lordave: you don't mean it

Nwankwo Kanu (1993), Celestine Babayaro (1993), Nduka Ugbade (1985), Jonathan Akpoborie (1985), James Obiorah (1995), Wilson Oruma (1993), John Mikel Obi (2003)

Sensational Nigeria rounded off their Group F
campaign with a 5-0 hammering of Iraq at the
Rashid Stadium in Dubai, a result which is good
enough to see them finish top of the section as
they get set for the Round of 16 at the FIFA U-17
World Cup in UAE. Four goals in the first half set
the tempo for the contest which was never really
going to end well for the Iraqis, who now head for
home after three straight defeats. Mexico and
Sweden also go through from the section as second
and third-place finishers respectively.
[size=50pt]Nigeria hadn’t lost a group-stage game at a U-17
World Cup since way back in 1993, and they
weren’t in the mood to start today[/size]. Chidiebere
Nwakali hit the woodwork after only two minutes,
and it was a hint of things to come as the Africans
roared into incredible form. Seconds later, they
were in the lead when Musa Yahaya was fouled in
the area and namesake Musa Muhammed
converted form the spot.
The scorer turned provider a minute later, his
cross picking out Nwakali who had loads of time
and acres of space to put the ball away from close
range. The Iraqis were stunned, but they managed
a shot in the 13th minute. Captain Mohammed
Salam’s free-kick was saved well by Dele
Alampasu. The effort was a false dawn, however,
and Nigeria were 3-0 up five minutes later.
Kelechi Iheanacho, the Golden Eaglets’ danger-
man, laid on a fine pass for Taiwo Awoniyi, but it
broke loose and fell to the feet of Musa Yahaya,
who made no mistake.
Iraq’s coach Muwafaq Adlool, knowing his side
needed a win to have any hope of moving on, made
a change, bringing on Yasir Ammar for Mustafa
Mohammed. The substitution sparked a positive
spell for his side, but the next goal came at the
other end with the Nigerians in irresistible mood.
Yahaya took advantage of a rather grand error by
the keeper Hayder Mohammed, and poked home
with ease from six yards out just before the half.
There wasn’t much action in the second half, with
the Nigerians taking their foot off the accelerator
and Iraq looking defeated and out of ideas. On the
stroke of full-time, however, the Nigerians scored a
fifth when substitute Chigozi Obasi hit home from
20 yards to take the his side’s goals-for tally in the
group stages to 14, just one less than Brazil.
Group F has proven one of the strongest here at
the UAE finals and it’s only just that three of its
combatants – three-time champions Nigeria,
Sweden and defending champions Mexico – should
go through. Iraq, playing in their first junior
finals, can hold their heads high as they head for
home

CFCfan: @ homesteady: The FIFA obviously didn't research well before spewing that fallacy. It happens sometimes to reputable international media.

aimuafigo:

Not true! I believe you are talking about the U20 world cup of 2005 in Holland.

I take it back! Looking at the FIFA website, Nigeria did lose against Argentina in Finland 2003. I am not sure if MIkel was part of that team though.
