Definitely the best U20 side Nigeria has ever assembled. The most exciting fact is that they are truly young. Kudos to the Coach and I pray they do well because I still have memories of that 1987 goldem team which left us disappointed. I pray and hope and believe that this team will not go the 1987 direction.
