Coach Roland Larsson has tipped his side to emerge Group F winners at the ongoing FIFA U-17 World Cup in the United Arab Emirates.

Sweden are in the same pool with the Golden Eaglets, Mexico and Iraq.

The Scandinavians are second with four points, same with Nigeria, who top on superior goals advantage, while Mexico are third with three points. Iraq are without a point.

All teams are in action tomorrow, with Mexico battling Sweden for a ticket to the next round. Speaking yesterday to reporters, Coach Larsson said that his charges had already delivered but stressed that they want more than booking a place in the round of 16 of the tournament.

“Back home in Sweden, they are already satisfied with our performance because when we were coming here, they never expected us to play this well. They just thought we were going to be defeated by Nigeria and the other teams because it is our first time at this tournament.

“But having picked four points from two matches, we think it would be good for us to go for another win against Mexico and hopefully finish the group on top, which would be good for our confidence as we go
forward”, added Larsson.
