What a draw, you’ll wonder how draws are conducted in Africa. Nigeria always in tug of war groups lately….
I don’t think there is any tug of war in our group. At the U-17 level, Nigeria is still the favorite and the best team in the group, with due respect to other teams in our group, the golden Eaglets still have the edge.
