I have read that journal and a couple of others.

Scientifically speaking, a system or procedure that has a reliability rating of 90% is very reliable and so very acceptable.

Until proven otherwise MRI results for cubing of age cheating is very reliable and FIFA and the entire football community will continue to accept the ages of players that have gone through this scanning process.

From your proposition in the bold you haven't read the published article.

That doesn't look different from the one posted here by Goldfish80 a couple of months ago. Bros I have read so many articles on the reliability of the MRI. And as we speak the reliability ratings are still very high and FIFA is still running along with result.

Chukwueze creates 2 goals for team B, Osimhen scores one as they beat team A 2-1.

Iheanacho and Musa led the attack in a 4-4-2, with Iwobi,Kalu,Ogu and Etebo in the middle for team A.

Brian Idowu is also pushing to regain his spot.-Owngoal.

Could Lebo Mothiba be Bafana's next Nigeria nemesis?

AFRICA CUP OF NATIONS QUALIFICATION
In the absence of Tokelo Rantie, the Strasbourg hitman has been identified as the man to torment the Super Eagles at the FNB Stadium on Saturday

When Stuart Baxter announced his Bafana Bafana squad for the upcoming 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Nigeria, the Super Eagles will surely be delighted that Tokelo Rantie was absent from the 23.
During the Afcon qualifying campaign for the 2015 edition, the new Cape Town City man scored three goals in two appearances against the 2013 champions.

On 19 November 2014, Rantie tore away from the helpless Raheem Lawal and also powerfully shoulder-charged him to the ground as he made his way past Efe Ambrose, sprinted past Azubuike Egwuekwe, before firing - at the near post - high into Vincent Enyeama’s net to silence the Uyo crowd.
Editors' Picks

As if that was not enough, moments after the break, Rantie's strength and bustling speed outdid Kenneth Omeruo as he unceremoniously bundled the defender to the ground, before he fired past Enyeama, again, with aplomb.

It was no different when these two clashed again in the first leg of the current qualifying campaign on 10 June 2017, as Rantie once again capitalised and punished Nigeria's sloppy defending in the 2-0 loss.

Despite Nigeria's convincing dominance in this fixture, with seven wins, four draws and two losses, the South Africans have always possessed a threat of some sort, with Rantie being the key threat in recent fixtures.
Benni McCarthy, Shaun Bartlett, Sibusiso Zuma and Siyabonga Nomvethe are some of the names that have always been highlighted heading to this fixture in the recent past, and going to this Group E encounter, the hosts once again have a name worth causing any opposition sleepless nights.

Lebo Mothiba of Ligue 1 side Strasbourg has been identified as the man who will potentially eclipse McCarthy's long-standing record of 31 goals for the 1996 African champions.

Mothiba has been in red-hot form for Strasbourg since his arrival from Lille on a three-year contract for $4.4 million on transfer deadline day, and has hit six goals in 10 appearances for Le Racing so far.
His tally for the season stands at seven goals [one goal scored while still at Lille] in 12 appearances.

Standing at 1.82 metres tall, the Tembisa-born forward can certainly match the Nigerians' physical presence and strength, while he has also proved to be clinical with his head; two of his goals thus far have come from headers.
He is also equally clinical with his feet, netting four times with his right foot and once with his left.

More bad news for the Super Eagles is that the forward also brings his scoring boots with him to the national team. He recently created a piece of history in the 6-0 drubbing of Seychelles last month, when he became the first player to score in his first three games for Bafana.

Perhaps Rohr could consult ex-Super Eagles skipper Joseph Yobo, who endured both delight and dishonour when he came up against the legendary England marksman Alan Shearer. South Africa's new gem has, after all, been likened to the former Newcastle United great by Baxter.

South Africa don't have Rantie in their ranks for this heavyweight showdown, but in Mothiba, Nigeria could be about to be introduced to another red-hot nemesis.

How Super Eagles Have Transformed Since Losing 0-2 To South Africa – Gernot Rohr Explains
November 15, 20180185



The Super Eagles of Nigeria will no doubt pose a different threat to South Africa than when they last met when Nigeria were beaten 0-2 at home in their first AFCON 2019 Qualifiers
Coach of the Nigerian team Gernot Rohr is optimistic of a better display than last time out based on certain variables which the coach explained in an interview after yesterday’s close door training session.

“We lost to South Africa a long time ago – over a year ago, but my young team now have experience of the World Cup and I believe they are able to play a good match even if we are missing four key players especially the goalkeeper and the goalscorer.

“Training sessions were good and we are well prepared”, Rohr said .

Nigeria will be hoping to seal qualification for the African Cup of Nations with a win over South Africa on Saturday, and if that happens it will be the first time they will be at the soccer showpiece since winning the 2013 edition of the tournament.

South Africa are under pressure to avoid a defeat with their final group game coming up against Libya who are expected to beat Seychelles same day Nigeria are taking on South Africa.

If I had my way, this would be my lineup against SA.

Success is in the best shape among all the strikers now.

Chukwueze ahead of Kalu is a no brainer. Kalu came late to camp and he hasn't really covered himself in glory in the he GWG shirt.

Ogu is too slow for my liking, hence I chose to partner Etebo with Ajayi.

I dont have Faith in any of the goalkeepers in camp, so, whoever gets picked, I can only wish he comes good
This can morph to a 3-5-2 with Ajayi dropping in between the CB and Aina and Collins pushing up. Makes sense...

Don't think it's a matter to thank God.

Like has been said multiple times here. The MRI scan is indicative not conclusive.

Abuchi Obinwa born in the USA failed a NFF administered MRI scan when he was 16 round about the same period Success would have had his own test . The NFF failed or rather refused to submit the test results for independent inspection. Why ❓ anybodies guess.

The test is flawed by the baseline data used to make deductions. An excerpt from the Scientific American journal which is high standing academic journal highlights the problem.


Meanwhile, subsequent work also throws more cold water on the science of these wrist scans: One study on 86 young male Ghanaian players concluded, “There was no significant correlation between the chronological age and the degree of fusion.”



https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/dear-fifa-there-is-no-scientific-test-to-prevent-age-fraud/

However, the reality is that the alternatives are not in themselves practical and or viable. It's essentially the most cost effective and efficient system we have for now. Just be aware it's not conclusive but indicative so it can be beaten.

The final word, without AUTOMATIC BIRTH DATA CAPTURE there will be age cheating. From Brazil, Peru, Africa, Asia, etc, etc

Den dey craze, that's no science. So it works for everybody except when you test it on West Africans. To them nothing can exonerate us as age cheats not even science. They can go to blazes. When it comes to us Our paper is not valid and their since can't tell the truth. That's just disguised racism

However, one thing I know is there are certain names that people would not want to be associated with like I mentioned Judas and Hitler.

Forget this thing u are saying I know you will not dare name your son Judas or Hitler.
