"I am very optimistic about my team's chances in this tourney. My crew and I are working hard to ensure a good outing. We have learnt from our mistakes in past competitions and will try to do better this time. I really believe we will make Nigerians proud".

Will Rohr die if he says this before a tournament?. Must it be pessimism and unambitiousness all the time?. For Chrissakes we are currently rated THIRD in Africa. Is the AFCON trophy too much to expect from a team rated third on the continent?.

Curtisaxel7:
Rohr on probable AFCON winners.

"Group D is the strongest with big opponents, including South Africa. For me, Morocco is one of the favorites to win the Cup, just like Ivory Coast, which won twice,'' said Rohr to Medias24.

''I think Egypt, which will play at home, is the number one favorite. There is also Senegal, the best African team in the FIFA rankings.

''As I said before, Morocco remains a favorite of this CAN, Tunisia too. After, I hope we too will be able to get involved in the title race.''

JasonScoolari:
Thanks bro.

I see why Manu Garba dropped him for the game against Uganda.

He has been wasteful from the start of the competition.

JasonScoolari:
That number 7 should not even play again in this team. Nigga is wasteful and very greedy with the ball.

Good looking out to Ubani and Tijani.

OMANBALA1:
Lmao...You have some questionable behavior. How can you single out Tijani and Jabaar alone?? So far, Tijani has not outperformed Ubani and Jabaar was just playing his first game. At least, with this U17 set up you can be satisfied.....if you know,you know

komekn:
I really do.not get carried away with U17 football because at best is indicative of potential not much more else.

Without thay potential being developed it can actually very sadly amount to ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.

If U17 football was a major milestone in football progression and superior quality. Then we should be winning the World cup by now. But we are far from dominating African football.

How many of our U17 football players have progressed to top class football commensurate with the high levels they achieved at world youth level. ❓

Dreambeat:
Nigeria has not qualified yet.The eaglets need a draw to qualify.If Uganda beats Nigeria and Angola beats Tanzania, the country that qualifies will be determined by goal difference because on head to head no team among the top three will be ahead of the others.Infarct it is only Cameroon that has qualified for the World Cup in this competition

Clementoke:
The Highly feared and revered Senegalese under 17 team is currently struggling and now needs an outright win against group leaders Cameroon to stand any chance of qualifying for the Semifinals and the World Cup. The race is certainly not to the Swift. Selah

Since soccer match no dey and you dey house, then equation Don balance, there can still be MATCH.

safarigirl:
He will be a guest at her wedding in a few years time, so her real husband can thank him for taking care of his wife while they were in school

robosky02:
Nice one

But often time 2 wins see you through
In the case of nigeria

Worse case scenerio if uganda beat us we qualify as 2nd best.

UGANDA U17 V TANZANIA U17

Tanzania have failed to qualify for the 2019 Fifa U17 World Cup this year after losing 3-0 to Uganda
Following their second successive defeat, a 3-0 loss to Uganda at the National Stadium in Dar es Salaam on Wednesday, the Serengeti Boys have failed to reach this year's event in Brazil. 
After losing 5-4 to Nigeria in a thrilling encounter in their first match on Sunday, Oscar Mirambo's men needed to beat Uganda to remain in the running for a place in the semi-finals.
Andrew Kawooya opened the scoring for the Cubs after teaming up with Najib Yiga with a delivery that flashed across goal and squeezed in from a tight angle to the back of the net in the 16th minute.

Ivan Asaba doubled Uganda's tally in the 28th minute and Yiga sealed the result with a header 14 minutes from time.
The result sees Mirambo's side fail to qualify for the global event as they remain winless and lay bottom of Group A with zero points from two matches. 
With the win, Uganda now occupies second spot in Group A, three points behind leaders Nigeria who overcame Angola 1-0 in the other game played on Wednesday.
Golden Eaglets' win saw them qualify for the World Cup with a game to spare for the record 12th time.

2special:
Nigeria is on 6points,if Angola and Uganda wins their next match they will also be on 6 points.... unless the organizers are using head to head which will favour Nigeria against Angola.....Naturalwaves

Hello house, I am thinking of spending my annual vacation in Egypt to afford me the opportunity of watching the AFCON and of course see a lot of historical sites.

Icon4s, tbaba1234 and other widely traveled members of the thread, particularly those who were at AFCON 2006, is this a good idea?I mean in terms of things like :

security.

The attitude of the Egyptians towards blacks.

What kind of treatment should I expect if for example Egypt loses to Nigeria at a stage in the tournament

Financial implications, like what kind of budget I should be looking at.

The tourist attractions

Weather e.t.c

Please house, will u strongly advice an average Nigerian to embark on this kind of trip for vacation?

Your contributions will be appreciated.

Regards

Napoleon55:
yes,we r yet to qualify.
But we'll definitely qualify,4 us not to, we have to lose by 3 goals to nil while angola wins,which is highly unlikely

elyte89:
Tbaba,icon4s what's ur opinion on dis

Napoleon55:
Nigeria qualifies based on caf's regulations,
points in head to head among tied teams are used first before any other tie breaking criteria.
Even if uganda and angola both wins their next matches,nigeria qualifies ahead of angola irrespective of their result,as we have 3points against them.

BascoVanVeli:
3-0 FT

Is Tanzania out of the competition?

BascoVanVeli:
How does that make Uganda bellow average?

forgiveness:
Olukumi is not Igbo dialect. This is from the horses mouth. The paramount ruler of Ugbodu.

BascoVanVeli:
They look good to me. They have made Tanzania look ordinary so far. They have not been able to string passes together.
