Nigeria is 2007 FIFA U-17 World Cup Champions

We did it!!! Yes we did it!!!!

We beat Spain on penalties! 3-0. Yes!!!

My heart was pounding so so hard and racing very fast when the penalty shoot out began. I told my sister that i didn't think we would win cos we had always lost matches on penalties. But Alas! They proved me wrong. They made us proud.

The powerful shots by the Nigerian players were superb! Our keeper (Akinboye) did us proud by saving two goals.

We were the only team in the competition that didn't loose any game. We won all our matches and conceded 4 goals in the whole competition.
