I think with the technicality of this set of players and the amount of experience they have, they should be able to convince nigerians dat that draw in the group stage was really a mistake . |

Group F trio reunited in final four (FIFA.com) Saturday 2 November 2013 THE DAY REPLAYED - The intercontinental double-header between Africa and South America in Sharjah this Saturday ended one-apiece, concluding the quarter-final stage of the FIFA U-17 World Cup United Arab Emirates 2013. In the first game, Argentina scored after just six minutes to unsettle the sturdy defensive system that Côte d'Ivoire have displayed throughout the tournament, before running out 2-1 winners. Then Nigeria overcame Uruguay 2-0 with two goals from Taiwo Awoniyi, who went off in pain near the end. Victory and a place in the semi-finals was reason enough to celebrate for the Golden Eaglets, who had scored an average of 4.5 goals per game in their first four matches. The semi-finals are now confirmed with Nigeria meeting Sweden on one side of the draw, and Argentina against Mexico on the other. One African, one European, one South American, and one North American team representing four football confederations are thus still in with a chance at the trophy. Results Quarter-finals Argentina 2-1 Côte d'Ivoire Uruguay 0-2 Nigeria Memorable moments And the winner of the ‘Group of Death’ award is...Group F! Impressively, this group provided three of the four semi-finalists in the United Arab Emirates, with section toppers Nigeria joined by Mexico and Sweden in the last four. It is the first time in the history of the competition that one group has supplied three semi-finalists. Only Argentina, winners of Group E, crashed the party. Now back home watching on TV, the brave Iraqis must be imagining what might have been if they had been drawn in a different pool. The game of fear Ten players took to the field in the clash between Argentina and Côte d'Ivoire a yellow card away from suspension – six from the South American side and four from the Africans. This was the same number as the Brazil v Mexico and Sweden v Honduras games combined. A single yellow card would be erased for the semi- finals, but a player with two yellow cards to his name would be suspended. As a result, Argentina coach Humberto Grondona will now be without Rodrigo Moreira and Matias Sanchez for the next game. It was potentially even worse for Uruguay coach Fabian Coito, who had eight players on a yellow card. With four from Nigeria, that made 12 players in total who were a card away from suspension. As it turned out, the Golden Eaglets won, and Akinjide Idowu is the only one who will miss out on a semi-final due to suspension. Four from four Argentina and Côte d'Ivoire had met three times previously in FIFA competitions, so today's win made it four from four for the land of Maradona and Messi. The three previous encounters had come at the 1992 FIFA Confederations Cup, the 2006 FIFA World Cup™ and the Olympic Football Tournament of 2008. Argentina have therefore completed a clean sweep against Côte d'Ivoire in all age categories. The Golden Eaglets' win over the young Charruas was some revenge for Nigeria's two 2-1 defeats against Uruguay earlier this year, in the FIFA Confederations Cup and the FIFA U-20 World Cup. One Africa, two cultures "We need to acquire more experience at this level if we are to reach this stage of the competition more often, like Nigeria do," said Baby Elephants coach Ibrahima Kamara after the match. The Nigerian fans, who were out in greater numbers than the Ivorians, also showed maturity by noisily cheering on their boys from the outset, in contrast to the Ivorian supporters who only really got behind their side in the second half. One Golden Eaglet fan even produced a replica of the FIFA World Cup Trophy, perhaps in support of the Super Eagles who look on course to qualify for Brazil 2014. In the end though it was the Nigerian U-17 side who were given a heroes' reception by their adoring fans. The number 12 – The number of times Argentina (5) and Nigeria (7) have reached the semi-finals of the FIFA U-17 World Cup. This is the second time both sides have simultaneously reached the last four of this competition. The last time, at Trinidad and Tobago 2001, Nigeria went on to finish second and La Albiceleste finished fourth. Argentina have never won the FIFA U-17 World Cup, while the Golden Eaglets have triumphed three times. The words "That was a fabulous win over a great team. We were consistently good and well-intentioned throughout, but in the second half Côte d'Ivoire upped their game," Argentina coach Humberto Grondona.

Swedish melting pot boils over in Emirates (FIFA.com) Monday 4 November 2013 Elias Andersson combined with Gustav Engvall for Sweden’s first goal of the U-17 World Cup. These are two blond-haired, blue-eyed boys with very Swedish names, but it soon became clear that the yellow-clad team competing in UAE is anything but homogeneous. There are 11 different nationalities in the 21-man squad, with players tracing their roots to ports as far afield as Seoul and Kampala, Banjul and Tirana. Join FIFA.com for a closer look at a diverse Sweden team, combining in total harmony on the world stage - serving up their meatballs with spices from all corners of the globe. The story begins with Valmir Berisha. Born in Albania before moving with his family to Sweden when he was two, he’s scored four goals in a menacing and entertaining display. “It’s important for us as a team to have more than just one kind of player,” said the flamboyant No9, who has four goals ahead of a semi-final rematch with Nigeria in Dubai. “Swedish players are known for being strong and fast,” Berisha went on. “But when you throw in the technical ability of the guys like me from the Balkans and the good stuff the African guys bring too, the power and technique, we become more than just one threat.” Albania's loss is Sweden's gain Gentrit Citaku also has Albanian roots and his delicate through ball picked out Erdal Rakip, of Turkish origins, who slotted home elegantly to send Sweden on their way to victory in the quarter-final against Honduras. Having already made his senior team debut for Swedish giants Malmo, it’s likely this won’t be the last Sweden jersey the impressive Rakip pulls on before his career is up. Carlos Strandberg, tall, powerful and dark of skin, has come on as a late substitute in all of Sweden’s games. “My mother’s from Portugal with roots in Mozambique,” he told FIFA.com about his cultural combo-name. “My dad, he’s Swedish, so there’s the Strandberg. “There are guys from all over the world in this team and it’s a really cool thing for us,” added the shy Strandberg, who combined with Anton Saletros, son of a Hungarian immigrant, on the winning goal against Honduras. It was scored by none other than the sensational Berisha, who celebrated like a madman. “I still don’t know what I was doing after the goal,” he said of the bouncing, pogo-ing dance performance that followed his cheeky heel-flick in Al Ain. “I needed to watch the highlights on TV to find out!” Ssewankambo blow Wherever their roots originate, this Swedish team have amazing chemistry, humility, good humour and, perhaps most of all, resilience. They lost their top midfielder, Isak Ssewankambo – who hails from Uganda – to injury after only 15 minutes of football at the finals. With arguably their best midfielder sent home to Chelsea, where he’s already agreed to professional terms, the Swedes soldiered on without him. “The power in depth of this team is just amazing,” said coach Larsson, who’s made three substitutions – the maximum allowed – in every game. “It’s a tremendous feeling for a coach.” Larsson’s defence is marshaled by Noah Sonko, a tall and rangy centre-back who traces his roots back to the Gambia, a west African country not far from Nigeria, who just happen to be Sweden’s next opponent. “I’m not worried about them at all; not bothered one bit,” was the big man’s terse response when asked about the pace and creativity of Nigeria’s attacking line, who have scored 20 times in five games. One wonders if his mates in defence, identical twin brothers Sebastian and Johan Ramhorn – who share a Korean mother – will have the same level of comfort when the goal-hungry Golden Eaglets come calling a second time. Ali Suljic and speedy winger Mirza Halvadzic come from Bosnia, while Christer Lipovac hails from Croatia. Goalkeeper Sixten Mohlin’s blood flows from the Netherlands and the Cape Verde Islands, off the north-western coast of Africa. The story goes on and on. Even the team’s medical staff is of Italian ancestry. Clearly, it’s all one, big happy family for these Swedes who are breathing new life into the old platitude ‘variety is the spice of life.’ |

safarigirl: if you noticed, our defense greatly improved in the game against Uruguay, they've been our toughest team so far. I feel like the Swedes will be more relaxed thinking if they could hold us before(going ahead twice) they shouldn't have it as tough, the Nigerians will be more alert on the other hand having learnt their lessons and so we should edge them out just a little. Yes, Iheanacho is good, he's being touted as Africa's next great No.10 and Nigeria's next JJ Okocha. If you notice he's managed to assist in EVERY match though he may not score. Gyan picked he and Awoniyi as Africa's future stars.The Swedes won't relax either, they understood the fact that our defense could cave in from the wings and they can stop our attack operating from the middle. I hope the eaglets will operate more from the wings this time around. |
