Hmmmmm…same group with Nigeria’s Eaglet!That’s is a pretty group of death
why fear the eaglet? when you are also a previous champ. Wake up!!!!
How on earth did CAF sead the teams such that Gh, Nigeria n Cote d’voire fall in the same group while host, Morocco gets Tunisia, Botswana n Gabon. This is jx a ploy 2 get the host thru 2 the next stage n also 2 the world youth championship. Itz a shame 1 of those three teams in in group B, all powerhouses at U-17 level, wud be sacrificed 4 a mediocre team in group A 2 rep Africa at de world cup jx 4 the sake of Morocco.
@Typykal, you are on point there, i am a Nigerian.Nigeria and Ghana are two former African and World champions and i dont see why they should not be seeded to avoid clash at the early stage.I think fruadulent CAF wants Moroco to qualify for the world cup as a compensation for hosting and bribing Issa Hayato.The worst CAF president in recent history.
@Typykal, you are spot on .I am a Nigerian and i dont see the reason why Nigeria and Ghana should be in the same group .Both are former African and World Champions and i dont think it is wise not to seed them.I think fruadulent CAF wants to make sure that Morocco qualify for the world cup as a compensation for hosting the tournoment as well as the bribe they recieved from them.Issa Hayato is the worst President of CAF ever.
well,
thats Africans leaders for you.why should they let that happen that way?hmmmmmmm dont have much to tell.
Let not rush into conclusion. the draw was done based on recent team performance and we hv been poor in de last 4 yrs
And this means gh was seeded in pot 2 alonside tunisia and the host and nigeria in pot 1. so no rush analysis
This should present a good challenge to the crew as it will eliminate any lackluster preparation towards the tournament,you will definitely encounter any of them on your way to the chalice and even have to encounter the dreaded south Americans and the Spanish further as you progress.
REAL CHAMPS PLAY TOUGH SIDES.
we fear the situation not the teams, it’s possible to be eliminated.
