President of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Alhaji Aminu Maigari, yesterday charged the U-17 National Team, Golden Eaglets, to clinically disorientate and dismantle their counterparts from Sweden when both teams clash at the on-going FIFA U-17 World Cup finals in the United Arab Emirates today.

Three-time champions Nigeria turned back Cup holders, Mexico, 6-1 in the first match of Group F, but the Swedes also hugged the spotlight with a 4-1 demolition of Iraq. "It is a top-of-the-table clash that we expect our boys to control from start-to-finish, not allowing the Swedes any breathing space.

It would be good for our boys' confidence if they can qualify for the Round of 16 ahead of the final matches of the group phase. "Of course, we know they have the ammunition to do it and they will do it.

They are very focused and they have as coaches, some of the most disciplined personalities in the Nigeria game's history," Maigari said in a statement issued by NFF spokesman, Ademola Olajire.
