Anything you claim to be you must substantiate, with an authentic unquestionable unit of measurement and or corroboration.

Go to the bank with your sworn declaration of intention to pay back. And see if they will give you ANYTHING. You must prove you can pay back a loan and substantiate that intent with collateral.
Of course! All the players in the U-20 world cup claimed to be of the required age and substantiated it hence why they were accepted to participate.

Now, here in the court of social media etc we have people asserting these same players are 25-30 years old. In doing so it is down to those who accuse to provide evidence to disprove what the players have already proven.

It is not me (wayodude) that has to prove or substantiate anything.

You can't prove it's not true and you can't prove without independent automatic birth data capture.

So you have to rely on the players integrity,in an environment where age is intrinsically linked to your value and progression.

The difference between you and a top contract is your age, in many instances.
I don't need to prove anything. The burden of proof lies with the prosecution. As an accuser YOU have to prove your assertion.

The argument is not whether there is a suspicion of age cheating or not.

One thing you should understand is that a lot of the players we took for the U20 World Cup are already over 25. Some are even in their 30s, so I'm not surprised with the moves they've made so far.

They'll take up any opportunity they get to earn foreign currency no matter how obscure the environment is because they know they're not gonna be playing high level football for a long time anyways.

It's all about the money 💸💸💸 right now and not career progression.
The bolded is not true.

Congratulations to Bendel insurance of Benin.
Its time to rename this club from this "Bendel" to something else.
In those days, I remember Bendel insurance use to have a rival club, I can't remember the name now, they both share same stadium then, just like Inter Milan & AC Milan in Italy.
I don't kwn if that club is still in existence.
Never. You definitely aren't from Benin. Lol

Bros, I think you’re talking about the old winger system aka the 20th century football. Modern wingers don’t need to have any of those qualities: crossing abilities, speed, etc. it’s not their jobs anymore. Today, we have those positions called “wingbacks” to perform those roles.

In the modern game, your wing forward plays more like a 9 and half. Got ithuh


O pari
At the bolded. If you genuinely believe this and it makes sense to you then no wahala. I leave you to it.

Playing out wide in a forward position doesn't make you a winger. Awoniyi will be wasted in any of those sort of positions.

Aniagboso moved to Ukraine
Sarki moved to UAE
Nnadi about to move to Russia

Honestly, this is very very bad. These were promising players. I would have preferred they played for Bendel Insurance, Enyimba, Remo Stars in next year's CAF competitions than this rubbish. Don't they have advisers? These players are better than this.

Hopefully Daga and Benjamin Frederick won't follow in their footsteps for their own good.

Actually that move is a complete failure and worst thing he could do in his career.

Russia is ostracized on too many fronts on account of it's invasion of Ukraine.

Nobody with any brain wants to ge there .They dint have much money and cannot attract players.

Going to Russia from Bulgaria is out of the frying 🍳 pan into th FIRE 🔥. One level of mediocrity yo another level of be deeper MEDIOCRITY

Russian league rated 18 and Bulgarian league rated 27in Europe . Both league are in the backward back end of Europe.

You have to be extremely desperate and or a very poor quality footballer to choose Russia at this time.
This is the truth. For anyone that cannot see it no problem. I invite you to actively seek the opportunity to move to Russia asap. It's great there, you and your family will enjoy it! undecided

😳 moving from the Bulgarian league to Russia is terrible?

The boy seized the opportunity of he’s exploits at the u20 World Cup to earn that move. Moving from the Bulgarian league to Russia is a big leap if we are honest to ourselves

Ex u17 forward Olusegun is on the verge of moving to ligue 1 from the same Russian league after doing well in a lowly rated Danish club where he got he’s move to Krasnodar

Is a big stepping stone for Nnadi to bigger leagues for he’s age

Moreover it’s miles better than playing in the Spanish 2nd tier and will be far easier to attract a call up to the national team if he performs well in Russia 🇷🇺
Under normal circumstances maybe a slight upgrade in league. But with all the sanctions Russia is facing, it is not the same as before.

Who will be watching him in that league? What scouts will go watch him? In what countries will the Russian league be shown on TV?
Even if he is doing well how can he leave when his team is not able to trade?
How rosy does the future of Dynamo Moscow look today? How are their finances affected by the war?

The questions are too many. If he was my son I will ensure he doesn't go there. Just my opinion though.

If NFF/Peseiro kno what their doing the starting 11 for the Sao Tome game in September will look something like this.

GK - Victor Sochima (Rivers utd) / Amas Obasogie (Bendel insurance); one half each

RB - Festy Ebosele (Udinese)
CB - Jordan Torunarigha (KAA Gent)
CB - Caleb Okoli (Atalanta)
LB - Bruno Onyeamechi (Boavista)


CM - Daniel Daga - (Dakkada FC) Yusuf Alhassan (Royal Antwerp); one half each
CM - Tochukwu Nnadi (Botev Plovdiv)
CAM - Devine Nwachukwu (Bendel Insurance)
DM - Raphael Onyedika (Club Brugge)

ST - Gift Orban (KAA Gent)
ST - Victor Boniface (Union St. Gilloise)

With one or 2 maybe 3 changes depending on form, injuries etc.

Simple message to the players go on the pitch and do your job. Win your individual duels and we win the game very comfortably. Prove you should be seriously considered as part of future squads. Finish.

Just watch what we will do. Bookmark this page. We will do invite 70/80 % of the players you just watched yesterday. Including Musa for experience undecided

We could also be working overtime to commit Noni Madueke, Carney Chukwuemeka, Tosin, Destiny Udogie, Festy Ebosele, Caleb Okoli etc. If we fail after genuinely trying then we know where we stand and move on.

Our olympic team get together not Senior team. Yes, he came to watch one or two of our matches but did not get a senior call up until he was a regular at Arsenal. The present Crystal Palace boss called him not to honor our call up. Facts only!
He PLAYED for Nigeria as an Arsenal kid!!!!

Iwobi's debut was against DR Congo in August 2015.

At the start of that same season he was a regular in the Arsenal U-21 team.

No offence but will not comment on this one again. I don tire.

Several times people get things wrong and reiterate it with confidence. If I get a detail wrong and you correct me I just say thanks and leave it there.

CONCERNING OUR LAST GAME AGAINST SAO TOME AND PRINCIPE AT HOME WE SHOULD ONLY INVITE 4 KEY FOREIGN BASED PLAYERS( A GOALKEEPER, A DEFENDER, A MIDFIELDER AND A FORWARD) . THE REMAINING 19 INVITEES SHOULD BE MADE UP OF ENYIMBA, REMO STARS, RIVERS UNITED, BENDEL INSURANCE, RANGERS INTERNATIONAL AND PLATEAU UNITED PLAYERS. IRRESPECTIVE OF WHO THE COACH IS OR WOULD BE GOING INTO THAT GAME, THIS WILL HELP OUR LOCAL PLAYERS GROW IN CONFIDENCE.

Ethiopia beat us 1-0 in Addis Ababa not Lagos, Enugu or Ibadan(where Super Eagles more often played home matches). Uganda could not beat us in Kampala even with their dreaded Majid Musisi or however his surname was spelt then.
I don't remember Rufai being in goal for the 0-1 loss to Ethiopia. He was the Captain for the 6-0 drubbing of Ethiopia and scored a penalty kick goal in the match.
Slow down when you're reading. I said he was in goal in Kampala for the nil - nil draw with Uganda.

Yes Ethiopia beat us in Addis, I didn't say it was in Lagos.

In 91-93 we played all games in Lagos except the 2-0 win against Congo, where we only used home based players. That game was in Enugu. Finidi then of Sharks and Fuludu of Bendel Insurance scored the goals.

Just before the world cup in 1994 we played our last friendly match against Georgia in Ibadan. We won that 5-1 after going one nil down. I remember all those years very well because that's about when I started watching football (1989-1993).

Augustine Okocha first played in the Flying Eagles U20 Mauritius 93 even though he played for Borussia Neunkirchen and Eintracht Frankfurt around same time notwithstanding. Augustine Okocha's debut was in the 1-2 loss to Ivory Coast in the 1st game of the 2nd phase of the USA 94 WORLD CUP QUALIFIERS(CAF SECTION). Sunday Oliseh also was called up to Super Eagles after Mauritius 93 tournament. They were in same team with the likes of Andrew Aikhuomogbe, Abioudun Obafemi, Taribo West, Felix Aladesanmi, Peter Ogaba, Benedict Akwuegbu, Sunny Nwachukwu, Patrick Mancha, Tijjani Babangida, Garba Lawal, Teslim Fatusi, Emmanuel Babayaro and if my memory is right Emmanuel Teberen.
I think Okocha's debut was in the 4-1 win against Algeria in Lagos in the 1994 WCQ.

He didn't play in the 1-2 loss to CIV in the previous match day.

Oliseh was not part of the Mauritius 93 u-20 AFCON. I don't remember him being there.

His debut for Nigeria was in the home win against either Ethiopia or Sudan (can't remember exactly which one). We won that game (Oliseh's debut) 6-0!!

He was pure class!

Ethiopia beat us in an AFCON qualifier in 1993
Uganda held us to a draw in Kampala, had they won that game we wouldn't have qualified for the 1994 AFCON and they missed a penalty. Rufai was in goal.

Iwobi was an arsenal u-23 player when we first called him up.

He certainly was a 'mainstay' of the youth team at Arsenal. cheesy

I think we can try young/development squad players in the national team in areas where our options are poor.

That team in Mauritius 93 also had Kanu (didn't play any minutes if I remember correctly) and Taribo West the shin kicker grin

Untill a player is playing consistent oustanding exceptional performance in the first team of his club.

I agree and disagree. What was Iwobi doing when he got his first call up? Many more example abound.
