imperiouxx: Even Pirlo the professional can't attempt such force-less PK. It was like a stunt to mehe wanted to try a panenka kick. 1 Like |

chidexy: It's good that the boys lost in the final. At least, they'll have time to analyze their shortfalls and correct them before the world cup. If they had won, it would have been extremely difficult to identify those and work on them.yea you made a point has it been they won bet met me they wont win the world cup group stage |

Looking beyond the outcome of this match, the innocence of these lads just got me thinking. How much a better place the world would have been if the elderly ones would learn to take defeat that easily. These young lads exchanged their kits after the match: shirts and shorts were exchanged. Why do we have killings, terrorism everywhere? Why is it that those who lose elections would make the country ungovernable? The hideous group called Boko Haram is a product of hate and the spirit of anger in defeat. We all need to learn to accept defeat in good spirit. The world would be a better place if we do.

Ejiné: If you've watched Nigerian football properly over the years you'd realise teamwork and team spirit peaks at the U17 level and declines proportionally to maturity. The best teams this country has ever produced are always in the junior cadre. Anyone and any team that doesn't do well at this level has practically no hope moving forward. This is not europe or south america. As a poser. Can you name one, just one player who has or is playing better in the Super Eagles than he did at U17 or U21 level, but the yellow pages are filled with great players who never made the transition. 2 Likes |

Reference: The bolded is not entirely accurate. The Golden eaglets of 2003, crashed out in the group stage of the Finland U-17 world cup. However, Mikel Obi is still very much a prominent member of the Super Eagles 2 Likes |

SmoothLIFE: So here is the history of the tournament And what about the U16 we won? your link says Ghana won 2 and not 3. BTW, this is the first time CIV'll be winning the U17 nations cup. With everything spelt out for you on that link of yours, you're still goofing? |

U17 Ghana - 2 titles Nigeria - 2 titles Gambia - 2 titles Ivory Coast - 1 title Nigeria were a penalty away from being number 1 at this level. I guess it was not meant to be. The fact that Gambia has 2 titles here shows the level of age cheating. Nigeria presented 3 over-aged players and many more beat the system. In the end this tournament means nothing. 1 Like |

This is what caused confusion. The old U16's were not a tournament but home and away fixtures. |

The Ivory Coast emerged winners of the African Under-17 Championship in Morocco after defeating Nigeria on penalties on Saturday. The game ended 1-1 in regulation time and went straight to penalties accordance to FIFA regulation for the under-17s. The Ivorians won the spot kick by 5-4. The Nigerians began well with Izu Omego putting his team one goal up after seven minutes. Ivory Coast struggled to cope with the pacy Nigerians until the 26th minute when Chris Bile Bedia evened the game. Bedia's goal came against the run of play after poor defending by the Nigerian led to goalkeeper, Adeyinka Adewale gifting the ball after coming off his line. Within the next six minutes, Ifeanyi Matthew and Chiedbere Nwakali came close to restoring Nigeria's lead before the break. Three minutes into the second half, Musa Yahaya was played into a scoring opportunity with sight at goal after a superb offensive play but he could only hit the side-net. On 52 minutes, Bedia was in position to score a second goal for the Ivorians with a close range header but Adewale reacted well. The tournament's leading scorer, Isaac Success, found himself inside the Ivory Coast's penalty area but shot really wide. Inside the last 20 minutes, Nigeria thought they had a penalty shout when Success was bundled down in the goal area by four Ivorian defenders. But with 16 minutes left, goalscorer Omego was sent off by the centre referee, Mahamadou Keita from Mali for an elbow offence. However, it was Nwakali's miss during the penalty shootout that proved to be Nigeria's undoing as Franck Kessie, Jean Chester Diallo, Bekanty Angban, Aboubacar Keita and Dogbole Niangbo scored all five kicks for the Ivorians to be crowned African champions. http://www.supersport.com/football/african-youth-championships/news/130427/Ivory_Coast_are_African_U17_champs |

The coach should look for another goalkeeper, then a solid central defender. These were our weaknesses in the matches against Tunisia and Ivory Coast. The goalkeeper doesn't calculate his movement in aerial balls while the central defenders allowed Tunisia to bullied them with set pieces. |
