The Golden Eaglets of Nigeria yesterday started the quest for a ticket to the FIFA U-17 world cup on a shakey note as they fell 0-2 to Congo PR in Brazaville.
This means they'll have to win by 3 unreplied goals to advance to the next round of the qualifiers.

Recall that Nigeria hosted the last U-17 WC where they lost 1-0 to Switzerland in the final.
Players like Sani Emmanuel, Stanley Okoro, Omo Ojabu, Ramon Azeez, Edafe Egbedi, Kenneth Omeruah and others are graduates of that class.

Any hope for these next crop of Eaglets/future Super Eagles? The second leg will tell.

Other results:
Reunion 3 vs Angola 0
South Africa 4 vs Burkina Faso 2
Senegal 3 vs Guinea 0
Morocco 1 vs Gambia 0

Well, all we need do is to win by 3 goals and it's very possible.

I am sure those Congolese would have used over-aged players. Nigeria is now tilting towards using the right aged players but most African teams still age-cheat

Not giving excuses anyways.

A taste of our own medicine

@ Honeric01 you are laughing at Nigeria, instead of you to be for the future of our Super Eagles because these are the boys that we plan to use in pushing-out those good for nothing Super Eagles players.

^^^^

How's that? it's what you sow you reap, so save me the preaching!!!

Honeric 01, You've thrown patriotism into the winds ehnn?

^^^^

Nah, I can only be patriotic if we do the right things, i can't cover up when we cheat, if i ignore it, others with eyes won't ignore it, so sorry bro.

It beats me hollow seeing comments like these . These are the same people that are calling for restructuring of our football . You no send them abi? When they qualify for the U-17 WC make sure you don't watch any of their games

Some people can be so, annoying.

3 - 0 is possible at home. Come on guys. Age cheats is every where especially African countries.

Anything less than 3 goals is a badluck
