Nigeria's record is amazing having appeared in the final of the FIFA U-17 World Cup 6 times - winning three (1985, 1993, 2007) and losing three (1987, 2001, 2009).
Meanwhile as we know El Tri caught the world’s attention with glory on home turf two years ago but face an immediate test against a Nigerian side they have only faced once before in the tournament’s 30-year history.
The Mexicans won 1-0 in Canada in 1987, although it was the Africans who went through to the next round by virtue of their superior goal difference.
Nigeria is still angry at falling short against the Ivory Coast on their own continent by placing second. Yet their coach Manu Garba still fancies his chances considering that every time Nigeria has won the trophy it has been in Asia.
“To crown this Golden Eaglets scored an astonishing 18 goals in their five matches in Morocco, with Success Isaac bagging seven of those and Kelechi Iheanacho getting two less. The two strikers, who play for Megapp Academy in Benin City and Taye Academy in Owerri will certainly be players to watch “ : says Fifa.com.
The winner of the game automatically becomes one the favorites to win all the marbles.
