safarigirl:I believe most of the players in the 2013/15 sets weren't overaged. But some could be in their early 20s (20-22) because the MRI scan is only 99% accurate. The remaining 1% could give room for players above 17 to play in the WC. |

asha80: You are lying. Iheanacho passed the MRI scan well. He is scientifically proven young. Your lies will not change it. He joined the academy as an under 10. You can not change facts with lies. |

Icon4s: Bros, take this fact from me; I grew up playing football on the same pitch with one of our best midfielders in 2013. we played together until 2009 in Kaduna. HE was older than me and I used to call him brother. Presently, I am 23. So, tell me how he was 17 in 2013. |

Bollinger: don't mind them, let them continue to deceive themselves. the truth remains instant victory irrespective of methodology is the norm for average Nigerians. There's no way a team comprising 16 year old boys with their usual frame and strength, can play top quality football consistently at that level for 90 minutes in a standard pitch. now they are shouting MRI scan, as if its 100% sensitive. I remember in 2007, when the likes of sani Emmanuel and Macaulay christantus brought home the cup, and some of us raised doubts. it was this same incoherent abusive aspersions we received. I cant recall anybody from that team playing meaningful football anywhere. yet that tournament produced the likes of christian benteke, david de gea, eden hazard, toni kroos, illaramendi, james Rodriguez, and mamadou sakho. players like mario gotze, isco, neymar, ike muinan were in nigeria for the 2009 edition. the only player in that team still relevant today is ogenya onazi. we've started winning again and people are raising questions, yet people like the op are tagging us unpatriotic and bad belle. don't worry 2020 is around the corner. By then, we shall be talking about great players who were at the 2013 and 2015 tournaments that nigeria won. We pray as Nigerians, we'll proudly raise our shoulders tall.........at least for once....in a very long time. 3 Likes |

2sex: Hey, I will appreciate making your points without the insult. O yes! I criticise my family when they are being dishonest because I love them and will want them to keep a high moral ground. There's neither substitution nor sugar coating for dishonesty. This I the kind of mentality that is now a boomerang on our governance. Not everyone accepts or celebrate dishonesty. Thank you |

Re: Give Our Age Grade Teams A Break! by TheGoodJoe(m): 9:03am On Nov 18, 2015 |
If the growth plate areas (epiphyses) are still open then the player is still within the age limit of 17 because research shows that players with growth plates yet to fuse at the wrists are 99% super-likely or most certainly 17 or less. The likelihood of such a one being 18 or more is 1% (due to rare biological variations). I wonder where these guys are even getting their 18% margin error from. 1 Like |

SIRTee15: How can you compare a young Nigerian boy to the same fate as the ones listed above. The players you listed were already promising stars in top recognised clubs. Isco was a young Valencia star, Neymar was a young Santos star, Gotze was a young Borrusia Dortmund star, Munain was a young promising Bilbao star. Where these guys were, our NPL stars will only dream of it. Haba. Spain had Muniesa in Barcelona, Morata and Sarabia in Real Madrid. You can not expect some academy boys in Nigeria to have the same prospect. 2 Likes |

asha80:wallow in stewpidity. Only a stoopid person expects people to believe a lie because he said it. I wonder why you didn't also claim a false age to enter the team, abi you can't play? You haven't told me which of you liars I should believe between yourself and the other fellow that claimed Iheanacho is 23? I think the other guy is believable, I mean, he stays on the same street as the academy unlike you. Dirty liars! 3 Likes |

Again, I'm staggered at how unreasonable and ignorant Nigerians are. FIFA DID NOT make the MRI tests mandatory for its members. It was merely put forward as a suggestion at FIFA's Annual Congress in 2009. And FIFA does not conduct MRI scans at youth tournaments because it is assumed that the associations who make up FIFA's membership have already carried out the tests themselves without being prompted to do so. Remember that in 2009, the MRI test was conducted BEFORE and not DURING Nigeria 2009, and it was the Nigerian Football Asssociation who carried out the MRI test not FIFA. That probably explains Taiwo Ogunjobi's reaction when Adokiye Amasiemeka came out with his revelation about Fortune Chukwudi. I remember that instead of coming out and calling Adokiye a liar, Ogunjobi as the FA spokesman merely accused him of being unpatriotic. So there's more to Nigeria's success in the MRI era than meets the eye. Cc: lalasticlala; seun; make sure my comment gets maximum attention. 2 Likes |

safarigirl: The other guy is also lying. Iheanacho joined the academy as an U10. Joined the Nigerian team U13 team, then passed the MRI scan. They are lying. Do you not remember the lie about Taiye Taiwo? Meanwhile, I met a footballer of Dolphins FC who told me that people are lying about Taiwo. He said he played with him and talked with Taiwo. That Taiwo was a small boy then. People lie against our young Super Stars constantly. I remember people telling me Chinedu Obasi was over age. When I went to Enugu, some footballers said it is a lie. That Obasi was one of the ball boys in Nigeria 1999 when Nigeria lost to Mali in Enugu. 1 Like |
