Let me give u a simple answer with a question. Can d U23 team of Lobi stars be stronger than the Flying Eagles?

If we indeed fielded older players, then we should have won. Footballers peak between the ages of 25-27. So if our boys are the ages you say they are, they should be at their peak and shouldn't be taken out by a bunch of 20 year-old. I believe it goes beyond age. It is about technical and tactical ability of the players. The technical and tactical abilities that these European kids have at 20, many players in our local league don't know even at 27.

People keep asking why the Super Eagles are not good at set pieces and they blame the coaches like Keshi. But I wonder, will the senior team coach teach old men how to play corners and free-kicks? You learn that at academy level and begin to improve on it as you grow.

What a dumb statement. So you're trying to say a U20 team can overrun a U23 team due to youthfulness or what??

Lady and Gentlemen, lets take it easy on the coach and players. The boys especially have really done well competing at this stage. As i have always said, I have been following d U20 WC since 1985 & i said it that this is nt d best Flying Eagles we have ever produced.

Go to FIFA records, no country has won an U17 WC and 2yrs after won the U20 WC.

As i have always pointed out even before the tourney kicked off , we went to d U20 WC with cadet/ academy players. Nigeria currently does nt have 19 & 20 yrs old dat are playing top flight football in competitive leagues hence we had to parade mostly 17 & 18 yrs olds as U20 players.Age, size & experience are vital factors in d performance of a team which could b partly y Manu prefered d older players and Awoniyi (bc of his size).

Today's game was a simple scenerio of Men vs boys. Germany paraded d oldest average age while Nigeria paraded d youngest average age.90% of the German players are already 20 yrs olds and already playing senior team football in theur respective clubs while 80% of the Nigerian team are 17/18 yrs olds and are still playing for cadet teams (including Yahaya, Iheanacho, Nwakali, Ezeh).

The Germans were superior bc while we paraded mostly teenage cadet players dey paraded young professionals.

GOOD NEWS!: 80% of this squad are 18 or less. That means dey can still play in next U20 (with their real mates). They will have to slug it out with the Emmanuel Amuneke's Eaglets.

It simple means that Iheanacho, Awoniyi, Yahaya, Nwakali, Ezeh, Bello, Muhammed, Mustapha, Idowu, Alampasu can form d back bone of d next flying Eagles. If these crop of boys can sign good professional contracts and improve on their games they will b too hot for any team to hold in 2 yrs time.

I also suggest we keep Manu as d U20 coach. I am sure he would have learnt 1 or 2 lessons from this tourney.I still believe in these boys. We'll hope to see them again in 2 yrs.
