FIFA U-20 WC: Nigeria battle North Korea in a make-or-mar game

Both the Flying Eagles coach and the players know that winning their second group game against North Korea is non-negotiable after a disappointing start against Brazil three days ago.

The five-time champions, who are also one of the favourites to win the title defeated the Nigeria's U-20 team 4-2, leaving the African champions to struggle for qualification in their remaining two games.

Nigeria will meet North Korea 5:Am Thursday morning in a make or mar game, meanwhile, coach Manu Garba has to fix his defense and goalkeeping position to avoid similar problem against Brazil from repeating itself.

Also, Coach Garba has got to put himself together and use the formation that gave him the FIFA U-17 world cup in the United Arab Emirates in 2013.

But, some quarters believe that the gaffer cannot start Kelechi Iheanacho and Isaac Success, who had been away from the team for some time now, saying that blending with the team may take sometime.

The North Korea may seem week following their 5-1 loss to Hungary, this doesn't mean that the Flying Eagles must take them for granted, they also need this game badly and would do anything to ensure they snatch the three points away from the 2005 finalists.

But, what must Manu Garba do to ensure they don't lose the way they did in their first game against Brazil? Lets hear your opinion
