Nigeria is out!
David just blasted his over the bar. Smh
Why attempt to roof it so high rather than placing it with good speed.

If Naija scores, it will soon be Keeper versus keeper.

I honestly feel for these guys.
You see the way their keeper is diving with aggression unlike ours.

Ubani scores o

prinsam30:
that guy na keeper?, from the first match that guy no look like keeper, he's too dull like Manu garba

That first keeper did not play again after the first match.
This keeper should just try and be diving as well as he can for goodness sake!

our keeper tried..almost got that!

This our keeper should try and dive well now!

prinsam30:
bet me that guy go still lose penalty

He will score with a rocket shot
You know he is all about strength.
With a little professional training, he will be a ruthless goal scorer.

chukwunedum150:
no extra time?

No extra time according to the rules .

Their goal keeper seems very agile like one who will be good at catching penalty kicks. Our players therefore need to make their penalty kicks quite fast......if it does not travel with good speed, their keeper may catch it o...the guy is hyper active!
All the best to Nigeria!
Our keeper is a bit nervous.
I want to see Ubani face the goal post.

Last chance for Nigeria

Olusegun really tried today .

3 minutes to penalty shoot outs. No escape for Ubani now. At least, he will face the goal post.

zinizta:
what has strength got to do with age ?

Age comes with more experience and bad antics as well. When you get slightly close, they muscle you off. Moreover, 20s is the golden age of football. Teenagers will still be learning the rudiments while those in 30s will be whining down.

Honesty007:
if manu garba is not playing the boys because scouts are after them and they refused to settle manu garba,then its a bad omen for the team and wc.it would be a shame if familiarity is now the key than quality and teamtspirit

Manu Garba is so guilty of this. Useless coach!
When Henry Nwosu coached under 17 briefly, to smell camp ( not to get selected o) na 600k last .

See the way Alfred was muscled off the ball. These Guineans are too old. Haba!

JasonScoolari:
The only thing Manu Garba did right in this tournament was selecting that left back.

That's the only thing he did right.

Hahahaha. Who is the left back again?
Tijani has been excellent too.

prinsam30:
Manu garba dented his good reputation the moment he agreed to lower his pedigree from under20 to under17, he's too greedy, he could have just resign at that period but No, now look at the nonsense he assembled called players based on familiarity instead of quality, I lost respect for that guy Tay Tay, I'm not seeing him taking these guys to the world Cup

I lost all form of respect for him when he took our under 20 to the world cup and started using padi padi to make selections while our best talents were rusting on the bench. See what his victimisation against Ayobami Amoo is causing the team now He took the guy off anywhere close to the goal post because that is where he is very dangerous......probably he does not want clubs to come for the dude or he failed to settle him.

Free kick to Nigeria............I hope Ubani does not put this on top of the net this time around. Good luck!

21 minutes to penalty shoot outs!

JasonScoolari:
These sets of Under 17 are far from being impressive. I can only select 3 manageable players in the team.


Manu Garba should not even think of leading this opportunity wasters to the world cup, and I call for his resignation.

I can manage just 5 and will put them in the right positions they should play. I blame Garba for all the terrible formations.
