dabossman:


I guess the sarcasm was lost on you. Some Nigerians make It seem like every European who did well at U17 go on to play for their senior team and become big stars. You will hear them asking "where is Chrisantus, Temile Omonigho etc. But where is Pongolle, Le Tallec, Fran Merida or Richard Sukuta Pasu today?

Stop contradicting yourself. My post was all about Osimhen getting his 10th goal to set a record. I've been following age group football and I'm aware that not all the players who perform well in the tournaments go on to excel in the senior teams.

Focus is primarily on talent discovery. Yes pongolle made a mark for himself, dos santos did as well, Kanu did. There are lots of factors involved in the full development of the players. That's not my concern at the moment. I would like to see these boys perform well and have successful careers.

Talent abound in Nigeria and I'm sure there are boys who will shine better than this present squad in the under 20 team in 2017

sum1 shud rate mali on a scale of 1-10...... Person wen dn watch dia match b4

I think they r d best team overall in dis competition. we r better in attack but their defence is a million times beta than ours. this doesn't mean they r unbeatable anyway.

wer are the 2007 set nd 2009 set?

dey neva balance their skul fees

eni4real:
in fact, the play was good just that the Mexicans play better. The Eaglets are very good at taking scoring chances.

gbam! That was my point.

Tonight game reminds me of two little kids , the first kid slapped the second kid: The second kid retaliated with double slap… The first kid yelled and hit the second kid again, in annoyance the second kid gave him two punches on the face... OMo see cry oo...lol

The guy dey try u don't have to be pessimistic about his future. It can go in any direction depending on many factors.
He may even become a winger or a supporting striker, he is that good. I think he deserved to be wished well and not otherwise.

Phame:
dont say so. Mali is the african champion.

it's like ya all forgot the country I'm talking about is world champion. Or I'm I to remind you that they are the defending champions >

Nigeria should watch out for the Malians.

Mali boys are good. Not just good but very good.

Imaging conceding twice thru the tournament one from a penalty, the other from open play.


Their defence is second to none.


But on the other side, our strength lies in our attack. Thanks to Osimhen banging in the goals. But our defence is nothing to write home about.

Did U see the Mexicans second goal. dribbling past 5 defenders and slotting it in calmly. That goal according to the commentator is top contender for goal of the tournament.

The Malians can learn from the Mexicans error of not fighting to the end and try to punish us.


Hope Chile(South America) be a prosperous land like Asia(where we won all four U17 titles).



Good luck/Success to the Nigerian lads come Sunday, cos the will need it.

wot exactly do u suggest?

Congratulation Golden Eaglets. In as much as u won d game today, u need to step up your game. Croatia and Mexican team really expose the Eaglets. Ones again, congratulation.

why don't we have supporters in Chile? na only Mexican Chile dominate the stadium..
me I go volunteer oo ..next match on Sunday ..I must be in Chile to experience our match between Mali and Nigeria ..

that feeling when 2 african countries are at the final of a w/cup under an african fifa president.

bigwallace:
We are still misplacing our priorities,do we want to win dis tournament or we want to discover truly young talent,because to me that is essence of this u17worldcup!little wonder we are 59th in d world.wer are the 2007 set nd 2009 set?

You are right. Where are these guys:

Dimitri Daeseleire
3 DF Rudy Ngombo
4 DF Koen Hustinx
5 DF Niels Ringoot
6 MF Laurens Spruyt
7 FW Guillaume François
8 MF Cédric Ciza
11 FW Kevin Kis

You don't know them? They were teammates to Eden Hazard and Christian Benteke in 2007.

My point? Not every U17 player will progress to senior level. With any luck you will find 2-5 in a squad of 18 who will eventually become senior team regulars.

From 2007 we still have Haruna Lukman and Rabiu Ibrahim coming in out of the national team. From 2009 we have Onazi and Omeruoh who have been regulars for about 2 years now.
