Basile Erariki, Head coach of crestfallen junior Red Devils of Congo Brazzaville believes only the Golden Eaglets can justifiably lay claim to the CAF U-17 trophy.\u00a0The coach also predicted that Nigeria and Cote d\u2019Ivoire are likely to meet again in the of the cadet fiesta on Saturday. But applauded the depth and brilliance of the Eaglets stressing that the players have what it takes to take the world by storm.\u00a0Congo were mauled 7-0 by the Golden Eaglets in their last group B game and finished third behind the two West African teams in the group on two points after drawing 1-1 against Cote D\u2019Ivoire and Ghana.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the post match conference at the Grande Stade de Marrakech, Erariki rated Group B over Group A that had hosts Morocco, Tunisia, Gabon and Botswana.<\/p>\n

\u201cI agree that our group was the most difficult. Any of the four teams in this group is good and you could see that the semi-finalists did not emerge here until today.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cEither Ghana, Nigeria, Cote d\u2019Ivoire or Congo could have qualified easily in the other group but there is nothing we can do about that again. If Nigeria and Cote d\u2019Ivoire play the semi finals the way they played us, they can end up being in the finals.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a related development, Hon. Dalhatu Sidi Mamman, Sokoto Commissioner for Sports who saw the Golden Eaglets crushed Congo, has equally tipped the team to go all the way.
\u201cI\u2019m quite impressed with the performance of the Golden Eaglets against Congo today. I was quite happy with the way they responded against Congo after their loss to Cote d\u2019Ivoire earlier and I believe they have the capacity to go all the way and win this tournament,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
