Five -time champions of the world at the cadet level are not in a strange position as they will be getting another knock-out campaign on the track when they face the Netherlands in Goiania on the late Tuesday evening of the local Brazilian time.
Here are some of the rules of Nature the Nigeria U-17 must follow to ensure a sixth World Cup.
1. Going Behind: The young group of boys must ensure they don't go behind like it happened in their preliminary matches when they had to stage comebacks twice but were not thrice lucky in their last game against Australia.
2. Conceding Two Goals: Two seems to be the give away magic number for Nigeria in Brazil as the results have seen them conceded two goals in each game which is a shocking total of six for a side tipped as one of the teams that can go all the way.
Aussies showed the vulnerable Eaglets two can be enough to take one through.
4. Anxiety: The team is definitely one to beat when it comes to entertainment and class with huge eight goals to their credit already, the boys can hit greater numbers if they do away from unnecessary anxiety in crucial moments.
Manu Garba should school the boys on patience in play and profitable decision making which could be difference in tough ties.
