Be like na 79 minutes these boys Dey turn on their engines. See how they make Ecuador be like fool in the last ten mins. See that Ecuador midfielder wey get hair, wey Dey do like Ndidi and Kante combined, baba was reduced to Kolasinac and Torreea Last last! Lol!

These boys are good jor. For their age, they are just very good. See as ball sweet. Small boys with ginger

Where the teenagers?

Real age is in the eyes of the beholder; they are teenagers. ITK dey worry you.

Caseless:
people like u will still complain if the scoreline is 6:0 in favour of Nigeria.

My brother, even if they had lost this match and their play was tight I’d have praised them.
Check my posts, I’m not a buttlicker, I say it the way it is.
I followed the 2013 set right from their tournament in Ghana where they lost the final match to Ivory Coast (I think), I still praised them because those guys had a pattern and the whole world saw it in Qatar (if I’m not mistaken).
Tell yourself the truth, did you enjoy their play?

OTayobami:


That was then! The least age of the players that played the u17 then would be 25 years old (and I hope you know what that means)....these ones are almost using their real ages the oldest there should be 19, majority of them there are 17 so what are you saying

apart from the two goal keepers that were born in the UK none of those other guys are 17 years old

Sai'd- The king of come back! The energy level of these boys is too high

Luckysbab:

Seconded.

I tell you. they just manage to lead 3:2 in an unconvincing fashion. they're good players but lack mentoring and harnessing, and the blame goes to the coach. these are rudiments he is suppose to teach them.

For instance, there are two concrete instance they could've gotten penalty if they had gone down, but botched the chance.

Guy!! This is just an age grade game played by 17years old kids, I would be suspicious if they put up all this technicality you're expecting of them, just enjoy the game bro they are just kids still developing with a bit of youthful exuberance as there game portrays.. Personally, I think they are exciting to watch

The present coach was their Coach then too.


The players that played then were also young.

Guess the likes doing it the hard way!!!

Please sing me another song, we’ve heard these over and over. You still can’t take the standard they set away from them.

Miner

fujirice:

No they are not.
With what Nigeria has produced at this level, this team is way below average.
Unless they turn their tactics around, I’m not impressed.

You will never be impressed..Lets celebrate the victory..

I wonder what you guys are expecting, you want them to play like Real Madrid? They are just under 17 for crying out loud, the fact that they even made it to the tournament is a big achievement, they will grow.

I tell you !

It's very annoying to see players with strength and skill but lack sense.

I can a player be raked inside the eighteen yard box and still struggling to get the ball, when he should have gone down for penalty

No be forget height matter, nigerian children these days too don follow suit for rapid growth, they can big these days and i know amoo here in Ibadan i think he's the oldest among them but he's not older than 20

For the first time Nigeria have a back to back wins in that cursed green jersey! Thanks to the Golden Eaglets for breaking the curse. I am pleased!!!

I Just Wished Our Senior Team Could Be As Committed As These Kids

who care whether you are impressed or you are depressed

Give this Ecuador team to the 2013 set and we will be screaming the sixth “goal!” For Nigeria.

The same 2013 team played 3:3 with Sweden in their last group game.


They actually had to wait till 80+ minutes before they equalised in that game.

Also, Iran was the team they scored their highest goal against, and they actually defeated them by 5:0 which means they never defeated any team with a 6 goals margin. I wonder where they will get that 6th goal against Ecuador

This ones have won both matches they've played so far, let's hope they get better with time.


We only need 1 Goal to win a match.


Let's enjoy the game

its U.A.E not Qatar

those guys cant be more than 20 tops.


manu garba doesnt use over age players in this competition. he uses mostly academy players and school boys unlike in the past where they get players already playing for club in nigeria.
that's why all the players he used in the past are still active today.

not like what we had in the past that a 17 years old will be celebrating his wife and birth of his second child. and after the competition you wont hear about them again.

Nah! I don't buy that. I've a 13 yrs old cousin in a football academy that know and practice these simple things, how much more a national team with hired experts and everything at their disposal.
there's nothing complex in minimizing dribbling and passing when due, or going down in the 18yard box when there's a good contact to warrant penalty.

Thanks. You are correct
