The following countries are taking part in the competition:

Brazil, Germany, Italy, Nigeria, Denmark, England, China, Spain, Scotland, Mexico, France and Portugal.


Each country has a ten man squad, but only six players are allowed to play at a time.

"Age ain't nothing but number" this guys still got game.

That Brazil squad can still win most National teams presently...
And Even the likes of Ronaldo,Ronaldinho and Kaka were not among.

ISSORITE

After that Tunisia 94 Atlanta 96 team, no other Nigerian football team of any grade level has come close.

Was it not the same way Rufai spilled a freekick and the Italians scored in US 94? He spilled another one yet again #DodoMayena

Nigeria will qualify for the knockout stage as one of the best losers

They should have begged Vincent Enyeama to represent us.This dodo mayana abi mayana dodo whatever he is called na waste.I thought goalkeepers get better with age.

Don't blame Rufai. He prevented so many awkward situations.Their defence was rubbish. The two goals conceded against Italy should have been prevented if the defenders had marked their men and reacted appropriately instead of ball watching. Same with the goal tapped in by Elano of Brazil. Okocha and co should've known they weren't playing against AY, Bovi and nollywood stars. They played against their mates who were very competitive and want to win all the time.

Nigeria will have another chance to redeem themselves.

Nigeria vs Spain in 15 mins. First quarter final match at the O2 arena.

They are not very competitive. I think they lack fitness and seem not to take it very serious.

Meanwhile Rufai is injured, off and replace by one Irish keeper. I thought they'd allow a player to replace him. Yakubu scored one to reduce the onslaught.

Spain is decimating Nigeria. 4-1...

we just disgraced ourselves.Okocha shouldnt have gone for that tournament.Worst defeat of the tournament 8-1.thats like Brazil playing Tahiti

They just lost 8-1 to Spain now

The Spanish team is really very good. I saw them demolish England 4-1.

Spain 8-1 Nigeria (quarter finals)

Luis Garcia, Michel Salgado (3), Alfonso Perez, Carlos Marchena, Gaizka Mendieta and Joan Capdevilla scored for Spain, while Yakubu Aiyegbeni scored for Nigeria.
