The game?
USA-UAE, Ijebu Ode, 1 November 2009, 16:00 (local time)
The stakes
The USA have so far had mixed fortunes,World Cup USA Donovan jersey 2014, having lost their opening game 2-1 to Spain,Donovan jersey 2014, and then gone on to record a narrow 1-0 win over Malawi. Despite creating many chances, Wilmer Cabrera's charges have been guilty of wayward finishing, with the two goals they have scored more down to goalkeeping blunders than forward prowess.
UAE, on the other hand, have a more effective strike force, especially in forward Mohammed Sebil, who links up well with team-mate Marwan al Saffar. Sebil netted against both Malawi and Spain, and will be looking to further increase his tally against USA.?
The stat
5 -?The number of times the Stars and Stripes have qualified for the second round of a FIFA U-17 World Cup. If they manage to do so again at Nigeria 2009, it will be their fourth last-16 appearance in a row, having started their run at Finland 2003. The other two occasions were at Japan 1993 and New Zealand 1999, where they reached the semi-finals.??
?
The words?
"We��ll be working on improving our finishing. We��re well organised, we quickly move into the opposing penalty area, but we fall short when it comes to converting our chances. This is one area we��ll be concentrating on for our final group game. Qualification is in our own hands and we want to achieve it against a direct rival like UAE." Wilmer Cabrera, USA coach
"We have a chance to pull off a great achievement. Our aim is to qualify for the second round, and we��ll give our all to do it against the USA. If we keep getting chances, I have no doubt that we��ll put one away." Ali Ibrahim,World Cup Donovan jersey 2014,?UAE coach?
