Been following every U17 team in the world. From what I've seen, Nigeria have been the best team and will be clear favourites to win the World Cup. With talent like Ubani and Olasegun, they play lovely football. Just need to finish their chances better. Argentina and Chile will also get far. I also liked what I saw of South Korea, but they struggle against teams that sit back.
Concacaf teams eliminated in the Group Stage were Bermuda, Barbados, Guyana, and Suriname. Here is the Round of 16 bracket: Mexico vs. Puerto Rico El Salvador vs. Jamaica Haiti vs. Dominican Republic Trinidad and Tobago vs. Honduras USA vs. Guadeloupe Panama vs. Guatemala Costa Rica vs. Nicaragua Canada vs. Curacao Concacaf gets 4 spots, so the first two, third and fourth, fifth and sixth, and seventh and eighth pairs will each qualify 1 team. It would be a surprise if Mexico and/or USA didn't qualify. The quadrant of Haiti, Dominican Republic, Trinidad and Tobago, and Honduras has the most teams with a chance. Costa Rica and Canada could be the most interesting Quarterfinal.
Did you go? USA, Mexico, Canada, and Haiti qualified. Mexico beat El Salvador 5-1, USA beat Panama 3-0, and two games had PKs. Haiti qualified over Honduras and Canada qualified over Costa Rica, with both games being 1-1 after regulation, 1-1 after extra time, and 4-3 in PKs.
No, Key West won out I really hope the recent success under Collat - qualifying for the u-20 WWC, the u-17 WC, the Gold Cup and League A of the CNL - leaves the FHF even more embarrassed and remorseful over having run him out and wasted two years under Neveu
Meanwhile in Europe, France and the Netherlands qualify so far. Netherlands absolutely dominant over a Belgian side that won their elite qualifying group (more evidence that Dutch football is back?)! Two more will qualify later today: Hungary v Spain Portugal v Italy And one more later this week. If Italy or Hungary lose today, they will get another shot in a 5th-place playoff to qualify for Brasil (against each other if they both lose, or against Belgium if one of them lose). If they both win, then the 5th-place playoff will be Belgium v Portugal.
