Up Eaglet!

i just like was going on in nairaland.

eaglet are making Nigerians proud

mr.ceo63:
Pls wat r u sayn... we beat mexico 6-1 nt 6-0 nd we wre d ones dat played wit uruguay nt sweden pls...

The mistakes were made by Vanguard and not me. It is 6-1 and not 6-0 and Mexico ousted Brazil and Argentina and not Uruguay. You need to read through again.

The semi final battles were indeed victory for Group F teams as Nigeria, Sweden and Mexico emerged from that group.I pray Sweden oust Argentina to get the bronze. That would mean a total victory of Group F.

I see this game to be won from the coaches angle... both teams are good but a gud technical depth will settle the scores...

I remember one FIFA competition where Nigeria defended Frances in the opener and meet France again in the final only to lost 2-1... why

if u study that game well u will knw that the Nigerians were far better on the pitch but the French has a very good technical team on the bench that changed the game... their strategy was simple.. since the Nigeria are of average height & are so good with the ground ball; they change their play to play more of high balls that can cut off the full mid-field and since they have taller attackers then the goals...

So i see a technical game here... if i am the mexico coach I will jst mark out Kelechi & have more gud defensive mid-fielders then u have neutralized the attacking force of the Nigerians but... who can successfully mark out Kelechi in the Mexico side is the problem...

If I am the Nigeria coach I will make sure that my 4 man defence are intact to block any high balls then mark out Ochoa... the next is to focus on more shuts from outside the eighteen yard box...; Mexico goal keeper has some weakness from that angle .... plus their normal playing pattern of having ball control... the Mexicans will jst b helpless...

CFCfan: The Golden eaglets look a sure bet to break the 24-goal record set by Germany at the 2011 edition. If the eaglets stay focused, and not suffer from stage fright, the goals will flow.

What an irony for Germany, 24 goals in a competition yet did not lift the trophy

I am loving this. Go eaglet

safarigirl: Sorry, just want to know, is it the top scorer of a tournament that wins MVP? Can Iheanacho win it whether he gets the most goals or not? Btw, team Nigeria is definitely winning this.

A Top scorer can win the MVP award but the MVP can't win the top scorer award.

MVP is being judge by overrall play by a particular player.

Kelechi is on the verge of winning both if he can just score one more goal. His overrall play will give him the MVP award and getting 6 goals with numerous assists will also earn him the top scorer award

Almost a record made

23 goals have been scored by Nigeria en route to the final of the FIFA U-17 World Cup UAE 2013, taking them to within a single strike of the tournament record. That benchmark of 24, set by Germany in the 2011 edition, will come under threat when the all-conquering Eaglets go up against holders Mexico in Friday’s final. The Mexicans have themselves impressed in UAE and there is no doubting their pedigree at this level, with the semi-finals having been reached in three of their last four U-17 World Cups. However, it is the Nigerians who have set the tournament alight thus far, averaging a hugely impressive 3.8 goals per match thanks to a tally that is over double the haul of their final adversaries.

The mexican will try any possible thing to play non ground ball against our eaglet and garba have to work to fail them on that parthen and i will ensure him to blend our midfield very tight cos the total strenght of the mexican is based on their midfield nw apart from their previous game against eaglet because they mainly made use of that against the argentine.i hope that ihela we do something great in that creative mode. we dont have problem with our defense and alampasu is doing fine nw. if these can be done, then eaglets all the way....

In wizkid's voice MEXICAN shall fall again if they play my team ooooooooo eeeeeeeh!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mark my words and quote me later; The final against Mexico will be one of the most if not the most humilating final in the history of the under 17 world cup. Apart from the fact that the team is solid and very talented,our Eaglets are damn hungry for triumph and success. It is going to be a party. Ihenacho will score more than a goal in that match. Infact, all our forwards will be on rampage.

The Iraqis are like, really? FIFA, how did we end up in group F? That one na champions group nah.

I predict 4:0 in favor of d Golden Eaglets. Nigeria 1st, Mexico 2nd, Sweden 3rd,Argentina 4th.

Who get ur time...? Bad Egg!

Whatever! You cheaters!! Your players are older than 20 years!
In Mexico, we are register at birth, while in Africa you get registered at 3 or 4 years.
So, why so f.... Proud of cheating?
Even worst will taste your defeat next Friday when much younger players beat you.

Brother from Mexico, keep it cool. We didn't cheat on anyone, we only deluded any team we've played by given them baptism of goals . If MRI can prove these boys tournament worthy more than 4 times, all statements of age cheat from anyone are just mere understatements. Friday will judge when we dust silly out of your team once more. We need this UAE trophy, you guys can line up for the one in Chile 2015. This belongs to Nigeria

We always make it to the second round of the World Cup, and we Won the gold medal of the olimpics and a confederations cup and 3rd place of sub20 and 2 French competitions of sub 21.
You only accomplish sub17 because you suck once you get to play against same age players.
Take that with holly water my African friend.

Brother, you need to check Nigeria football records. You need to ask Diego Maradona that in which match he got caught using drugs to enhance his footballing skills in USA 1994. You need to ask who won the Olympic male football event in Atlanta, GA 1996. There are so many other international football honors earned by different Nigerian football teams.

Brazil takes senior football seriously, also, does Nigeria with U-17. No beefing.
