Icon4s: No. Because they have a good team, good and very skilful individual players and because they have not lost any match. I see that boy Moro becoming a player like Modric in the future. They did not beat Nigeria cos we had already qualified, they beat Nigeria because they played better and deserved to win. Let's see what happen between them and Germany. Congrats to them in advance. They have done well even if they went home after the match against the Germans. |

gbosaa: If reverse was d case, and Croatia had secured qualification and top spot and they faced d Nigerian team and we needed dat win we would have won that match. I have seen scenerios like this play out severally. The psychology of haven secured top spot no matter d outcome of dat game affected our boys. |

Icon4s: Eaglets remains my team. I only voiced out what I saw which I believe no one has seen. |

gbosaa:so they were this tactically sound and they couldn't win the same USA that everyone beat? Couldn't win Chile also? Abi na only against Nigeria their tactics dey show? Did you watch their other games or is it just one game you've already seen these things? Like Icon4s said, don't let the Nigerian game fool you. If Croatia can scale Germany, then we can rate them. A team that couldn't win Chile and USA when there was no pressure, does not qualify as a 'contender'...even South Korea that won Brazil should be rated above them 4 Likes |

safarigirl: U are spot on my Sister. U have always known me to b a critic and a conservatist when it comes to our national teams and players. When I see a team dat is glory bound i know. That was how one other guy even after we beat USA 2-0 said we will crash out from d group phase.Saying he concluded that after watching d first 20mins. After we beat Chile 5-1 I was expecting to see his face here bt he never show up till date. No matter what any1 says Nigeria are top favorites to lift the trophy. Most international pundits also share this view. I expect nothing short of d semis from them. 1 Like |

I believe I've said all there is to say................ I've always maintained that my top 4 picks for the trophy are Nigeria, South korea, Germany and France. Nigeria and South korea, on their days, are "hard to beat" or "break down"..... They got that "tactical discipline" and a few "super talents" who can wreck u "big time". In Eggestein, Germany has a player who can guarantee u at least a goal in every game (he's one of two players who has scored in all 3 group matches so far....... The other is Nigeria's Victor Osimhen). France have the best attack so far based on statistics with 14 goals from the first round equalling Nigeria's 14 in 2013 (in first round only) but falling short of Brazil's 15 in 2013. These are "my top 4" and I strongly think they all will make it to the last 8 after October 28 & 29 round-of-16 matches...... And a "whole lot of things" can happen from there ...... *smiles* The other likely contenders based on reputation are Brazil and Mexico (they both have 5 u-17 titles together. 3 for brazil and 2 for mexico). Then the last of the likely contenders include Mali (who have not faced a top side so far in this tournament). How can anyone rate Mali above Nigeria?? Nigeria faced a U.S. Side that the croatians couldn't beat and the U.S. Side were just unlucky to be placed in our group. They were the finest assemblage of u-17 players from the United States in the last 5 or so editions based on talents, potentials and experience of the lads (several of them play in the Mls and for top european teams like Christain pulisic in dortmund and Haji wright, De la torre, etc). If the U.S. Were in Mali's group comprising Belgium, Honduras, and Ecuador...... They would have qualified as a top two team without a doubt. Secondly, Nigeria faced "the host". Not only is Chile the host but they are an interesting south american power house in soccer. Or anyone wanna argue this too?? But hey! It's ok aiiit...... Every man got an opinion stemming from their angle of things, views, and so on. But as for me, Nigeria, South korea, Germany and France are my top 4 (in no particular order). **smiles** happy new week....... 1 Like |

safarigirl: Olanna, you too like to argue. Yes I watched all the matches in group A and I still do watch them because I recorded them. I aired my opinion based on what I saw. Its my opinion and does not need anybody's endorsement. I think they will surprise people in this tournament. If they didn't, they'll be compensated by the fact that they came with boys with huge potentials and very bright future ahead. Yes apart from Nigeria, I support Croatia. It would take a very talented and physical side to dominate and beat the eaglets. Croatia did that and they've earned my respect. Don't dismiss them like you dismissed New Zealand. You'll be surprised. |

Icon4s: i don't know much about psychology but what i saw was selfishness, the ball didn't flow at all, midfielders were holding on too long and Chukwueze i guess was exiled until late second though he made an assist. The thing is mental toughness is part of the game, if Croatia's minds were stronger than ours that's even more reason to say they were the better team on that night. Football is played on grass not paper. Our winning the group means nothing we could easily go out just like anyone else. What matters is dedication and drive, how much do they want it and most importantly are they willing to put aside their selfish agenda's in the interest of the team. You take all that and sprinkle a little luck on top and we might make history again. |
