On Nov. 11, South Korea's U-17 soccer team will face off against Nigeria's Golden Eaglets -- the U-17 Fifa World Cup tournament's defending champion from two years ago.
Nigeria is extremely confident going into the game. As they should be. Their youth system has been phenomenal over the last five years.
Check an article on Nigeria's feelings here.
South Korea on the other hand, is still feeling good about their round of 16 match with Mexico that they tied at the death, and went on to win on penalty kicks.
A profile of the confident 17-year-old ROK captain Kim Jin-su is currently one of the featured articles. Kim is also confident and thinks the Koreans can take down the Nigerians, despite the tournament being in Nigeria this year.
Check that article out here.
With this golden youth generation of Nigeria in full swing, it's tough to imagine them not winning on home soil. But Koreans certainly have the talent. Maybe it'll depend on how much kimchi they eat that day (yes, that was necessary).
Check back for the final score.
