dabossman:


Please ignore Bigwallace. The guy is one of the age cheats who was screened out, probably by MRI, and his now all over NL with his sour grapes.

lol u re very funny,I won't insult anybody on dis forum,but I know what am saying am long involve in dis game nd besides why shud I go for u17 camp wen am way over that,see my cousin iss also a footballer he is 22 but if u see himm u sweaar wt ur life that he is 15.am still standing on my point non of these guys are 17 u can insult me if u wish.

Rip to the dead,tnk God for my life cos I just left yola 3days ago,nd am ssure by d special grace of God bokko haram will be history in jesus name.

These present set of u17 aint 17 take me to any law court nd I will still say it anywere,none of them is 17,likee I said am involved in all dis academies nd I know how it goes av bin in d system for long,the 2013 set is d closest we've gotten.

Bobbyunitedfc:


u claim to be a footballer u should be ashamed of urself,u even have the guts to call the boys cheats,e dey pain u say coach amunike no call u to the squad,u for no dey yarn thrash......forget their age,what about the dys of trainings and efforts put into the competition,u disgust me

lol, I laugh at your ignorance let's call a spade a spade wt is bad is bad,our football won't grow with this win at all cost mentality.the real u17 re in our secondary schools,just roger that.

I raised this same issue duriing the tournament that I see no reason why we shud celeberate this cheats but I was so insulted some told me I shud bring their birth certificate to validate my claim.but den am a footballer myself nd I know how tins re run wen It cums to age grade competition.all the of this set are all over 21 quote me anywer.am out

And sumone will tell me osimehn is 16,compare nd contrast osimen with that mexican player the diff is very clear.

fujirice:

Lienus

give me a reason why I shud lie?

Watch the two overage teams slug it out dis sunday,I saw the malians players nd I was like wow this is pure day light robbery,dos guys are old mehn.

safarigirl:
whatever you think you're involved in is not my business. No be who play football sabi football .


Those boys are the most disorganized football team in that tournament and to claim there is any form of maturity in their play is just you seeing rubbish.


Even of FIFA technical committee have agreed their play is uncommon and uncoordinated.., if real professionals can say that, then your opinion is only relevant to you.


Thank God you said nothing of Okonkwo and Chukwueze cuz I looked at that boy repeatedly after he scored and there is no doubt in my mind he's at most 17.

chukweze is prolly 21 or 22 same wt okonkwo,well good u cnt argue dat of osihmen,cos its just too glaring no 16yr old looks dat way

[/quote)so to u dier game isn't coordinated,lol I laugh dis is not just my opinion I have a lot of people out dere who shares my sentiments.dos guys game is overmature

MeandSum:


Why do you automatically assume others are lying? Can you wrap it around you head that not everyone is like you and that some people actually tell the truth?
Take a look at all the teams, you'll notice those from Africa actually look underdeveloped.

so osimen is 16 rite,zakari is 16 too chukweze is also 16.isssokay

dabossman:


Nobody is saying there aren't age cheats, but it has reduced with MRI. Haven't the Brazilians also been caught in age cheating before? You guys make it seem like Nigeria is the only country who has ever engaged in such. Every team we meet is full of small boys, while ours are always overage.

If you have concrete evidence why not bring it forward and help us solve the problem. Instead it is always this unfounded aspersions.

lol u talk abt mri scan,we know how dey get dier way around dat,am a goalkeeper nd av kept for so many local amauteur teams nd av gone for trials around so I know how dis tin works nd dnt say am bitter because I actually celeberated the 2013 set cos I saw truly young nd very talented side.

safarigirl:
are you a fraud? I can assume you a fraud because you're Nigerian....but that would be unfair.

I refuse to believe no genuinely good thing can come out of Nigerian. For one thing, I'm Nigerian and I'm good.

Go and watch yesterday's game again and take a closer look at Okonkwo, Osimhen and Chukwueze especially. If those boys look older than 17 to you, then it's just your mentality stopping you from seeing truth.

don't even go there that osihmen looks 27,cnt u see how matured their game is,av seen tru 17yr old play nd I cn tell u dey dnt play dat way,aM well involved in the game nd av played for so many academy teams,so bliv me I know wt am saying.

safarigirl:
una dey always get cousin or friend.

Told by whom?

Every time "I have a cousin"....and MRI didn't get the 22-year olds, they also managed to cheat biology on the process and grow taller.

Twale for una and una cousins. Even when there are pictures to prove the development of team , all of you still get cousins that applied.

why re u talkin as if u no dey dis country,let's not what is not,we all know dis guys are not 16yr old as claimed.

ZUBY77:


You must be from a family of chronic liars.

why should I lie ,am I bin paid for it,see u re missing d point here am just trying to tell u how our coaches want to win at all cost.u 17 isn't just to win but unearth future stars in their right ages.

safarigirl:
you must think yourself smart.

I suppose the Mexican team today had a bunch of 25-year olds.


Bottom line is, we have some great players from age grade football, if you like dash them ages you can live with, na you sabi.


I Don make my point. Good Morning

na naija we dey my sister,I have a cousin who is 22 nd he was told he is not ripe enuf to play u17 2yrs ago,imagine at age 22.its not asif he isn't good enough he is quite talented but he was told by the coach to wait 3more yrs.

safarigirl:
why not Kelechi?

The sooner you all stop living in the past, the better for the rest of us in 2015. Every time Chrisantus, was there not a Mikel before Chrisantus and a Kelechi after?


Every time Una go dey shout Chrisantus, oya, the French guy that has the top scoring record, what happened to him? As if only naija has players that didn't live up to hype

well all this depends on ur tru age compared to ur football age u cnt compare a 30yr old dat played u17 to develop the way a 20 21 year old guy dat played the same tournament to develop he same way that answers r question on kelechi nd chrisantus nd mikel.

[quote author=dabossman post=39728479]

You are right. Where are these guys:

Dimitri Daeseleire
3 DF Rudy Ngombo
4 DF Koen Hustinx
5 DF Niels Ringoot
6 MF Laurens Spruyt
7 FW Guillaume François
8 MF Cédric Ciza
11 FW Kevin Kis

You don't know them? They were teammates to Eden Hazard and Christian Benteke in 2007.

My point? Not every U17 player will progress to senior level. With any luck you will find 2-5 in a squad of 18 who will eventually become senior team regulars.

From 2007 we still have Haruna Lukman and Rabiu Ibrahim coming in out of the national team. From 2009 we have Onazi and Omeruoh who have been regulars for about 2 years now. [/quot)u talk abt rabiu nd haruna,rabiu plays for trecin in the slovakian league with all his overage potentials.do u know I have an elder bro who knows rabiu wey back he told me den he dare not call him by his name because he was way older dan him dat he was surprise wen he saw dis same bros at the u17 wc,the 200c set wer is our own little messi,stanley okoro sumone that have bin playing the npl for close to 8yrs before that year u17wc.

eni4real:
The guy dey try u don't have to be pessimistic about his future. It can go in any direction depending on many factors.
He may even become a winger or a ing striker, he is that good. I think he deserved to be wished well and not otherwise.

I wish him well,its not entirely his fault its the systen,the win at all cost syndrome wich has neva helped our football.

faray:

dey neva balance their skul fees

lol,but srzly the future dosnt look bright at all,I sincerly hope am proving wrong.

safarigirl:
I don't understand....shey make the teams intentionally lose because we wan find talent?

These guys aren't even good compared to 2013 set, yet you still complain

why won't I complain wen we are always bent on winning age grade competetion,that osimen guy will go the way of chrisantus mark my words.

jhidey08:
wot r u saying in essence?

we are cheating and dis won't help our football on the long run,we ve won the u17 4times yet we've not gotten to d quaterfinal of thhe senior wc while brazil have won it 3times wt 5 senior wc pls roger that.

We are still misplacing our priorities,do we want to win dis tournament or we want to discover truly young talent,because to me that is essence of this u17worldcup!little wonder we are 59th in d world.wer are the 2007 set nd 2009 set?

[quote author=prinzfavian post=39726983]
pls dear i am nt asking too much, just this small favour...Kindly Shut Up! [/quotewe ]we will cum bk here again to complain dat dis set of players neva fufilled dier potentials.

We shudnt be celeberating dis guys,cos its obvious we are cheating,how can u tell me that victor osimen guy is 16,we just deceiving ourselves,after 5yrs we won't hear about dis guys again.we need to learn from d brazillians they won dis same tourney 3timmes nd they've gone ahead to win the seniour world cup 5times dat is development.

I heard she gave birth to an halfcaste!!

Who are they deceiving,we all know pdp was the main backbone of saraki during senate presidency saga,they should explain how they get the deputy presidency spot.

K

1million pdp senators can't stop ameachi from bin confrimed as a minister of the federal republic of nigeria.useless people wen he was bin disgraced at thr governor's forum during gej era where wer dey?ameach will reap the fruit of his labour wether they like it or not.

Wike the goner.

Good list coming from oliseh,am particularly excited with the inclusions of kelechi nd martins,to me obagoal is far better than that bullish emenike.
