Disappointing contest for Korea DPR.

2 – In a story of a FIFA U-17 World Cup, usually dual teams have managed to win a pretension during a initial try – a USSR in 1987 and Switzerland in 2009. Will Niger be means to follow in a footsteps of those shining debutants here in India?

The quote
“It wasn’t easy to spin things around after a Iran match. The players were underneath a lot of pressure, yet they dealt with it unequivocally impressively. We were set adult right for this diversion and everybody stood by their team-mates. We do know, though, that we need to modify some-more of a chances – quite when it gets to a Round of 16, where a peculiarity of a opponents will be even higher. Colombia will poise a genuine challenge, and we will be entirely focused on a credentials for that.”
