FIFA Under 17 World Cup 2013 Sweden - Mexico This clash between the competition debutants and the reigning champions seemed like an easy one to predict ahead of the tournament, but two games into the FIFA U-17 World Cup and the group has taken on an entirely different complexion. Not only have the Scandinavian newcomers beaten Iraq convincingly 4-1, they also managed a 3-3 draw against three-time champions Nigeria. El Tri, meanwhile, were humiliated 6-1 by the Golden Eaglets in their opening encounter. The Mexicans then recovered with a 3-1 success against Iraq, but only a victory will do in their final match of the round if they are to reach the last 16. Never before have the reigning U-17 world champions gone out in the group stages of the subsequent tournament, but Mexico could well be the first should Sweden get the draw they require to progress. Nigeria - Iran In the other game in Group F, Nigeria take on an Iraq side which have lost both of their matches at the tournament so far. The Asians still remain in with a slim chance of qualifying as one of the four best third-placed .
