I have lost interest in our age group competitions just as we have lost all integrity in our selection of men to play against boys.

When will it all end ? there are genuine under 17 players in Nigeria but not given the opportunity to compete or even participate in these competitions. It was posted here a 16 year old Nigerian born in the USA purported to have failed the MRI test and denied the chance to compete.


Just seen a picture not sure how up to date it is , but they don't look U17 to me and I am sure to any one who wants to state the obvious. http://sunnewsonline.com/new/sports/eaglets-handed-mexico-sweden-opponents/

If given the chance, I am almost certain I could assemble a genuine U17 team that would do us proud just from the UK, from my personal experience, 85% of premiership academies have a player or players of Nigerian origin and that includes the racist Everton, who are genuinely U17.
