PNomsule: Why not provide proof that these lads are indeed 19. Provide their social media or educational backgrounds and naysayers like me would forever be shamed. I am not your average Nigerian that condone and support lies and dishonesty. |

sterlingD: The less or lack of much publicity might be working in favour of the team. I watched the match and the Flying Eagles played well, defended tenaciously and the link between the midfield and attack was good. They grew into the game and became very confident with possession, they tackled, chased and closed down the Italians. Goalkeeper was very confident and handled the dangerous crosses with ease. The defenders especially Agbalaka performed well, very strong and fearless. There was a hand ball against that would’ve resulted in a penalty kick against Nigeria but VAR showed that the Italian also committed a hand ball before the incident, it was a let off. I hope they perform well against Brazil in their next match. For the few idiots calling them over aged, they are always overaged when they win important and strong opponents but they were under 20 or younger than 19 when they lost against Gambia in the African youth qualifying. I rated Senegal highly but it hasn’t really been going well for them...they lost against Japan and drew against Israel. 1 Like 1 Share |

PNomsule: If you have no proof whatsoever why are you then ready to defend them with your life? My proof are circumstantial and I will list them for you. Nigeria is famed for age cheating in FIFA graded competitions, we have been caught and punished several times. Football age is a well accepted concept among footballers in Nigeria All the background and history of most of the players if not all is hidden. The physical features of the players does not support their age claims. As a Nigeria, you and I know the physical appearance of an eighteen year old. All social media history is hidden. Hardly can you find a Nigeria youth without a social media history. The whole world knows that Nigeria is "fantastically corrupt", and so the NFA or is it NFF is steeped in corruption. You on the other hand relies solely on their clams and passport issued by Nigeria immigration, which requires you only bring in a sworn affidavit to verify your age. |

Felix6:You do have a point. But I think that by virtue of four best losers also advancing from the group stage to knock-out round, Nigeria would have already qualified with six points regardless of the outcome of the remaining games. This is because when you consider results, points and positions of teams in other groups, then our six points will be more than enough to guarantee our qualification to the next stage. 1 Like 1 Share |

The ridiculous story that players in Nigerian junior teams vanish after the competitions while players from other junior teams flourish is just absolute crock and it is not backed by facts. Some players from junior teams will flourish after the competition and some will vanish. It's the way it has always been for all teams. It's not peculiar to Nigeria. It's just one of those stories that Nigerians like to tell and repeat, even though it's not backed by facts. There are very many Nigerian players that took part in junior competitions and went on to achieve great success at both club level and senior national team level for a long time after those competitions, just as there are many foreign players that achieved great success at cadet level and fizzled out afterwards. These are caused by a variety of factors and it happens everywhere. 2 Likes 1 Share |

How did we guarantee qualification? What if we lose to Brazil and Italy beat Dominican republic which is quite likely. Nigeria, Brazil and Italy will all be on 6 points. Is there a best loser in this tourney? NFF should do their homework and ensure the boys dont relax if there is no best loser o. |

[quote author=DAVIDELUXED post=123352964] . @ OP point of correction nigeria Beat Dominican 2-1 not 2-2 Also these boys don't look young at all.[/quote Other teams look like them too. The Italian guys don't their age too. Stop blaming your team. There is no correct age at this level again. Everybody is using football age now. Enough is enough . Italian can defeat Nigeria as well. It is only they were not lucky. |
